Page 149 of Blood So Brutal
It could have been because we shared blood so frequently now. Hells, it could have been pure delusion, but we didn’t need a magic bond to bind us anymore. We were fully connected, her soul completely intertwined with mine in a way I never wanted to undo.
She was mine, just as I was hers. Nothing was going to change that.
“I thought you were never coming home,” she drawled from the bedroom at the back of our unit.
The room was dark, but the moonlight filtering in from the large glass window across the back of the bedroom lit up the delicate curve of her body wrapped in the sheets.
Her naked body, I might add.
I didn’t realize a growl rumbled through my chest until Huntyr sat up, eyes wide. Her wings were gone now, giving me a full view of my wife in the moonlight. I prowled closer, taking my time as I inhaled the sweet, alluring scent of her.
Those damncherries.
“I’ll always come home to you,” I replied. “If I knewthiswas going to be in my bed waiting for me, I would never fucking leave.”
I was only half joking.
She smiled and shifted in the bed as I stepped closer, unbuckling my belt and tossing it to the side. I pulled my shirt over my head next and watched Huntyr’s eyes trail down my torso.
“Careful,” I purred. “You’re staring, Huntress.”
She rolled her eyes, but instantly arched toward me as I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. “Have I told you that you can be arrogant and annoying?”
“Mhmm,” I kissed her neck slowly. “Many, many times. But tell me again, please.” I moved my lips against her delicate skin until she gasped. “I love it when you talk dirty to me.”
“You are arrogant,” she said, breath hitching. “And stubborn.” I kissed her harder. “And incredibly annoying.”
Goddess above, her body was made for me.
I paused before my kisses reached her lips. “And?”
She sighed, but pressed her bare chest further into mine, reaching for my kiss. “And you aremine.”
