“You’remine…”I jump, wrapping my legs around him and trusting he’ll catch me. His cock is hard and ready, jutting up underneath me as if it could find its way inside without assistance. “I claim you, Sebastian Bane…” I whisper, nipping his chin with my fangs. “You are mine and I am yours. If they’re coming, let them come. They will not take you from me. If they’re so powerful, then I must be too. I’ll face them by your side. I’ll fight for you, I’ll fight for this!”

I reach between us, grabbing him and slipping him inside me as I speak. “Mine…” I pant, lifting myself up and down on him while he fights to stay upright.

“Fuck me, alright. I’m yours!” he growls, lowering himself to his knees.

“No dying?” I ask, and he can only nod because my tongue is in his mouth. “I love you…” I whisper.

“Fuck me, I love you too… fucking wild little— shit!” he exclaims as I push him down on the rocks. “Fayla, darling, remember I’m human? You know that makes me breakable, right?”

“Mhmm…” I hum, riding him with my eyes closed.

Nothing matters when we’re like this, not where we are, not what's outside this cell. The incoming battle doesn’t matter, nothing. I grab his shoulders, balancing myself, and hiss in pain. I yank my hand back from his injured shoulder, staring at a sliver of silver protruding from my finger. I don’t slow my pace, but I look back at the wall where I can see silver glinting in the mortar between stones. “There’s silver in your skin…” I moan, not really worried about it, just sharing the information.

“Vampire hunter, remember? Maybe it’s self-preservation…” he grunts, trying to grab my hips and slow me down, but I shackle his wrists with my hands and pin them above his head.

“Silver skin can’t protect you from me,” I growl sensually, and rub my lips along the inside of his neck. “I need you, Sebastian…” I beg.

“I’m yours,” he says simply, tilting his head away to make room for me.

I sink my fangs into his neck so gently it feels as sexual as his cock sliding in and out of me. His blood rushes into my mouth, hot and fresh, and I know I can never go back to drinking from a glass. He pushes my shoulders and I let him sit up, wrapping his arms around me, embracing me as I drink from him as he fills me in more ways than one.

“Fayla…” he gasps, but I can’t stop. I’m so full of need, desire, hunger. His hands loosen around me so I hold him tighter, hold him to my body, rocking constantly as his blood fills me with life. “Fayla?” he whispers, and I moan against his neck. “I was wrong,” he says, his voice so small it jars me from feeding and I pull away and look at him.

I stop moving, stop grinding. He’s going soft inside me.

“Sebastian? Are you alright? What’s wrong?”

“About the best way to die?” he laughs, a hand weakly coming up and cupping my face. “This…this is the best way to die.”

His hand falls from my face, his eyes closing as his body goes limp.

“Sebastian?” I shriek, shaking him, but his head lolls back and forth.

I scream, covering my mouth, not realizing I’m the only thing holding him up. I scream again as he falls and his head bounces off the ground. It should bleed, but it doesn’t. His wound from my bite isn’t bleeding either. Shaking hands sink down to my stomach, nails digging into my skin as I realize what I’ve done.

“No, no no no!” I stand up, screaming, calling for help, but the only answer is that of the moans of the monsters outside my cell. Mara seems to smile at me, mocking me in my despair.

“This can’t be happening! Sebastian!” I fall to my knees in front of him, cupping my hands on his face, but he doesn’t move. He doesn’t breathe. Tears are streaming down my face, realization setting heavy on my shoulders.

“How could I have not known?” I scream, shaking him gently.

Denial rages through my mind. Did I truly think he had a never-ending supply of blood? Was I that naive? I’ve killed him! I throw myself over his chest, sobbing loudly as my tears paint him. He’s the only man I’ll ever love. I know that now, in this dark and terrible moment.

I loved him…

Yet, I killed Sebastian Bane.

List of ways I’d like to die:

In battle.

Old age.

An accident that happens so fast that I don’t feel my death.
