It never felt that good when I did it myself...
Power had flooded me like a monsoon, lighting up my insides like a powder keg.
Everything I poured into Bane—magic, love, appreciation—came back tenfold in hot, blinding energy and my vision went white.
The images that filled my mind, taking color in that blissfully white space didn’t make any sense, but somehow, they made perfect sense.
Images of my legs around Bane’s neck, of my mouth around his dick.
Images of us against a stained glass window, books sprawled on the floor, of my legs wrapped around his hips...
Of castles and forests, of silk sheets and dark libraries, and fire.
So muchfire.
It was all too much, and I’d fallen down a fantastical rabbit hole.
My insides pulsed, my panties practically melted off of me from sweat and arousal, sliding down my thighs as thoughts of Bane and his searing kiss pushed me over the edge into oblivion.
I’d never forget what that felt like.
Never had I experienced anything quite as intense as what I experienced with Bane and I had the sneaking suspicion that it wouldalwaysbe like that.
It felt like the curtain had been pulled back, and the Gods had shown me what true magic was.
Power, connection.
I looked at him standing there, all brooding in his uniform like some gothic version of a Slytherin, his gaze solid and unwavering.
I didn’t have the answers to everything, and I didn’t know truly what lay ahead, now that I knew the truth, but I knew I didn’t want to leave him, not now notever.
I wanted more.
More of him, and the way he made me feel. Like I was a force to be reckoned with. If Bane Lock was a spell, I wanted to be spelled for all eternity. Because I’d never felt so powerful in all my life.
The thought made me feel panicked, worried, even.
Gods, am I that easy?
One wild orgasm and I’m ready to become a stage five clinger?
“I don’t need a nurse. I’m perfectly fine,” I said, trying to quell the weird anxiety within me all of a sudden that maybe I’d injured my head in the fall somehow, if I was considering such things.
“I just need... food. Maybe a good night’s sleep,” I said as I took slow strides toward him.
CHAPTER15
Violet
Bane glanced at me,his lips pursed into a thin line as he regaled me with a look that was suspicious.
As he should be.
“I mean... physically, yes. You arefine,” he said, his cheeks reddening at the word. He cleared his throat, turning away from my gaze for a moment before speaking again. “But your magic... I can feel something is different.”
My panic spiked at his words.
“Different how?” I asked.
