Ambrose doesn’t stop thrusting. He picks up speed, fucking me harder as my orgasm rolls through me, continuing in one long, powerful spark as if I can create my own magic. I combustover and over, not even realizing that he pumped his seed deep inside me, that he slowed and collapsed on top of me. He had stopped fucking me for a while now, but we both just lay on the magical bed he created in a dark bubble protecting us from the outside world.
The fireflies’ light has gone out, and nothing but darkness surrounds us. I can feel Ambrose’s heavy breath on my neck, but neither of us speaks. We don’t need to after what just happened, and as soon as we speak, we know we’ll leave this bubble both literally and figuratively. The magic that happened here will soon be nothing but a distant memory.
So neither of us speaks. We both want this moment to last forever. Speaking would ruin everything.
I love him.
I want to say the words out loud to him even if he can’t reciprocate. I want him to know this because I’m uncertain about our future and the dangers we’ll face. I might never have the chance to say those words to him again.
I forgive him. I forgive him for everything. Hiding that he was a witch from me was nothing. A small fib that doesn’t matter.
I should tell him my own truth. That I grew up in the Wintermoon pack. That my pack caused the curse, which is why I’m destined to be the one to break it.
But I know it won’t matter to him. Not anymore, not after everything we’ve been through.
I love you—the words almost leave my lips, but then I pull them back. Maybe I can tell him in his head. Just whisper them through our mental bond so that he has to second-guess if he even heard them at all. But I will have said the words I needed to say.
I’m still fighting with myself, though, when Nyx breaks the silence.
“You’re very loud when you come, love.”
Chapter 6
Lumi
Ishake my head back and forth as if that will somehow knock Nyx from my head. His words in my head are the worst kind of invasion. I want him out—now. But I don’t know how to push him out. Even though he stopped speaking, I still feel his presence creeping around in my mind, leaving a chilling metallic taste in my mouth.
Ambrose and I are still tangled up together. Nyx shouldn’t be in my head right now. This can’t be happening. This can’t be real. It must be a nightmare I’ve imagined.
“Lumi? What’s wrong?” Ambrose asks, but as soon as he asks it, I can tell his own senses have picked up on Nyx.
“Nyx,” he hisses.
Nyx’s cocky chuckle echoes through the bubble we’ve created.
My cheeks flush red with a mix of embarrassment and anger. We should have run instead of fucking in the middle of the woods.What were we thinking?
I look at Ambrose, who has his arms bound tightly around me. We were doing the only thing we could do. We couldn’t have left this spot without being bound together again as mates. Weneeded to trust each other again to face Nyx and whatever comes next. We didn’t make a mistake.
“Get the fuck out of my head!”I scream to Nyx through our bond that makes zero sense to me.
“Why, when being in your head is so much more fun.”
I growl.
Ambrose’s head snaps to me.“You okay?”
“Yes,”I hiss to him and Nyx.
“Hmm, you broke out of the aftershocks pretty quickly. Are you sure Ambrose is your mate? Give me twenty minutes and I’m pretty sure I could change your mind.”
Anger boils to a breaking point, and I hurl all of my anger into his words, shoving them as hard as I can off a cliff in my mind. Until his presence is tumbling out of my head. For a moment, my head feels empty, and I know he’s gone. I pushed him out.
“That was good, but you have to do better than that to keep me out,”he says, slipping back in so easily, like a cockroach I can’t get rid of.
“I need you to run, Lumi. I have to kill Nyx. And I need to know you’re safe while I do it.”
“I bet I could have you coming so loud that it would wake the entire forest. I know this trick with my tongue—”
