So submissive, that with one flick of his finger and one pull of his teeth, I fell apart underneath him. Trying to stop it would be completely useless. I was completely and utterly under this man's spell. I was blasted away by the wave that hit me. I screamed out Sam's name, calling out to him like he was my saviour. My body exploded into so many pieces, I was sure some would never return to me. The world became a swirl of darkness with little pinpricks as stars. My entire body was riding on the wave of bliss and ecstasy and I drowned in pleasure, drowned in this moment. I slowly came back to my senses and felt how dry my throat was. I had screamed harder than intended. Opening my eyes, I stared at the dim, low wooden ceiling momentarily, praying my heartbeat would go down. It beat like a tiny butterfly. Sam extracted his teeth from my skin and I felt his tongue swirling over my sensitive skin, taking everything from me. Energy rushed back into my body like an atomic bomb. It spread

I recalled the time when Adrian visited the human realm as Aiden and we played truth or dare. It was, in fact, Reggie that was dared to kiss me. Adrian was busy getting a hickey from Elle, at the time. "Adrian." Sam snapped, but I couldn't suppress the secret smile that was tugging at my lips. "Wait," Sam suddenly spoke, turning to me with narrowed eyes, "Reggie? Is that the kid you brought to Adrian's wedding?" I slowly nodded. "Well, technically, I didn't bring him. Elle invited us all, since we are all friends." I explained. "I actually forgot, Fay," Adrian intercepted, making us both look at him, "Elle invited him again. We are throwing a party after I come back. He can't wait to see you. Apparently, he's missing your lips." Sam crossed the room in quick strides, pushed Adrian out harshly, and slammed the door in his brother's face, who was smirking broadly. "Does that mean I can't go to the party?" I asked when I saw Sam's angry face. "I'm sure we will find a way, Fay!" Adri

"You should try it, you know. There's nothing quite like kissing a woman." I teased, looking up at Samael again who was staring at the island, but sharply turned his gaze to me. His hand tightened on mine. "I agree with that, actually, my King." Burta said, brushing my shoulder. I couldn't help but grin. "Okay, thank you for your feedback that I didn't ask for." Sam replied, pulling me to the edge. I peered down at the shallow water below, knowing I had to somehow jump down. The only problem was that I, as a human, could actually break my legs if I landed incorrectly. Sam seemed to think the same when he suddenly lifted me up in bridal style. His hands tightened around me and he held me high, my face coming scarily close to his. "It's almost the coronation of your wife, my King. You can kiss your queen then, after you claim her." Burta pondered. I instantly locked eyes with Samael. Ignoring Burta, he took one step forward, never breaking our gaze. He jumped off the ship

"Bait...?" I asked after five whole seconds of silence. "Bait. To lure all the dark ones to one spot. When they are all there, it gives us the opportunity to attack them from every angle." Sam explained. "This is my special assignment? This is why you took me?" I asked sharply. Sam's face fell. "Of course not. I took you because you need to be close to me. I would never leave you behind in my kingdom. It's actually Queen Gabrielle that came up with the idea." Sam replied and once again, I cursed my friend for her good brain. "I will die, Sam. You cannot ask this of me." I said with a shake of my head. "You will not die, I promise. Flower... You will be fucking irresistible for them. There is nothing, nothing in the entire universe, that is more appealing to them than your blood. They will go absolutely feral when they see you. So much so, their fight skills will be lacking. All they will want is get to you." He explained with bright eyes. This really was a good idea to him. "Do t

We walked through the forest in complete silence, his grip firm around my hand. Darkness descended around us, and the air grew heavy with anticipation. It was evident that something significant was about to unfold. We were still basking in the afterglow of what we had shared by the stream, and a cocoon of contentment protected us for a little while longer. Until we could no longer, and I knew we were close. "The dark ones are close. Very close. I can sense them." Sam whispered. his alert eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger. Always looking for danger. He turned around to me with a serious look. "The army is hidden. There's a clearing ahead, the perfect spot to catch them off guard. Wait there. They'll come to you." Sam instructed me and I nodded in understanding. "I will be right next to you, in the forest. With my entire army. If anything goes wrong, shout for help." Sam said next. Doubts creeped in. "The plan is to strike when they're near you. When they realis
