He had me pinned to the wall and was slamming into me from behind before the door shut behind us.

And veil, it was perfect.

The rest of the day—and night—passed in what felt like a dream.

A very, very sexy dream.

We made love in the bed.

Against the wall.

On the floor.

In the shower.

In our clothes.

In our ripped clothes.

Veil, we even did it upside down.

I had never imagined an eclipse could actually be enjoyable, but damn, I’d hold on to the memories of our time together until the day I died.

Chapter 30

Laeli

I woke with a smile on my face, curled up in Ravv’s arms and blissfully relaxed. He kissed me slowly, and then murmured, “I have a surprise for you.”

My eyebrows lifted. “More than just the dress yesterday."

His lips curved upward. "Yes.”

We slipped out of bed, and took a long, slow shower to clean off all the evidence of the fun we’d had on the eclipse.

After we were dressed in clean clothes, Ravv took my hand and led me down the hall, to the left. My gaze flicked to the door his meeting had been in, and I expected to feel fear with the memory.

Instead, I felt nothing.

The castle wasn’t responsible for what had happened, and I’d seen my captor die.

We stepped past that door, and a few others, before we reached the end of the hall.

“What are we doing?” I asked, curiously.

He didn’t answer as he twisted the doorknob and stepped inside the room, leading me in after him.

My eyebrows raised when I took in the space.

It was three times as big as Ravv’s bedroom, with a huge bathing pool, a larger bathroom, and a massive closet. There was even a small kitchen in one corner.

Ravv set me down on the edge of the massive bed, and then sat beside me. There was a fancy box with a large bow beside him, but he didn’t pick it up.

I stared at him, waiting for an explanation.

“You told me once that the power dynamics in our relationship were distorted. I came up with a way to fix that but couldn’t make it happen until now.” He pulled the lid off the box, and my eyes went wide.

Inside, there was a thin, silver band studded with jewels.
