She shoves at my chest, only to change direction, pulling me close. “Yes.”
“Good,” I whisper. “Because the idea of anyone looking at you makes me want to do unholy things to them, just to prove to everyoneyou are mine.” My lips trace hers, never giving in. “Aoife is nothing to your beauty. She holds not a candle to your wit. And there is nothing she can tempt me with to keep me from your lips.”
Stepping back, I rest my forehead against hers. “We will go to theIn-Between, figure out what Griffin is doing, and then return home.”
“And the ball?”
I roll my eyes. “The ball is not my concern. You, my kingdom, and my family, are my only concerns.” Kissing her nose, I smirk. “We’ll be home before you can say, ‘Kaden, get on your knees for me.’”
She laughs, the tension leaving her body swiftly. “I may say that anyway.”
“And I would drop here.” I rub her bottom lip. “Say the words, kitten, and I will gladly kneel for you.”
