Page 106 of A Court So Dark
“Are you ready, melynthi?” I asked.
“Yes?”
“You don’t sound so sure.”
“I can’t help but worry about your people not accepting me.”
“We’ve been through this.”
“I know. It’s just the last few days have been so easy. I’ve had a good time with you, and no one seems to care about who I am. The moment I go back to looking human, everything will change.”
Today, Naesala was to undo the spell that changed Daniella’s human features to make her appear Fae. When I introduced her to the court as my future wife, she would be wearing her own beautiful semblance. I wouldn’t have it any other way, and neither would she. Moreover, Daniella wanted to visit her family, but going back in any shape other than her own was not an option.
Besides giving back her human features, the sorceress would also begin to teach Daniella how to extend her human life.
Still, I could tell she wasn’t ready. Not yet.

Her cheeks flushed, her chagrin making me even hungrier for her.
“I promised you I would take you back.”
“I thought Kalyll had promised that.”
“You thought wrong and should know better, woman.”
I tightened my hand around the token, and in an instant, we stood on moss-covered ground.
Daniella pulled away and pressed a hand to her stomach. “I’ve never liked that feeling.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll give you something that you’ll like.” I pulled her against me once more, making sure she felt my erection.”
“Oh, dear, someone is quite ahead of the game. Did you forget about foreplay?”
“I didn’t forget anything. If it’s a game you want, I’ll play it until I make you beg again.”
She looked affronted at the reminder of the time I’d made her beg me to fuck her.
