“The vow might carry over once we leave this stars forsaken place and get our souls back.”

“And if it doesn’t?”

“Then we can just say it again.”

Bringing both hands up to his neck, I caress his jawline with my thumbs. “We’ll be contractually bound to each other for the rest of our lives. That’s a long time. You’re sure that’s what you want?”

“No, it’s not what I want,” Kai disagrees, making my stomach twist for a second before he clarifies, “Only eternity would please me.”

I’m elated, but a little bittersweet sadness creeps in. “According to fae legend, only soul mates get to remain linked beyond death. You know that.”

“What does your god say about it?”

Pursing my lips, I try to recall scriptures I haven’t thought about in centuries. “There’s the concept of heaven. No one knows what it’s like for certain, but in theory, all your loved ones are there in the afterlife. A husband and wife would definitely get to be together because it wouldn’t be heaven otherwise.”

“Then I’ll be your husband and you’ll be my wife, and that’s where we’ll go.”

I raise my eyebrows. “Are you saying you’ll worship God with me?”

“I’ll worship you while you worship your god. It’s almost the same thing.”

Amused, I smile. “Such a fae-like response.”

“Just being honest. Be mine forever, Sunny.”

As if I could refuse him.

This is more than I’d hoped for. More than I ever thought possible. I didn’t expect to get an on-the-spot marriage, but every part of me wants to say yes.

And not that this is a major influence on my decision, but my unforgettable mortality is loitering around in the back of my mind.

I have to live for today because today might be all we have.

Nodding, I gulp down the emotion swelling in my throat. “All right, then. Recite it.”

Kai doesn’t hesitate. “From dawn ‘til dusk, from dusk ‘til dawn, I’ll never love another.”

When the last syllable leaves his mouth, he blows out the most satisfied sigh. And he smiles. A beautiful, unrestrained, adorably crooked smile.

Hearing the words and seeing his subsequent joy causes a physical reaction in me. My pulse becomes erratic, like my heart is jumping with excitement. It’s knocking around in my chest with such gusto, I’m having trouble breathing.

Gasping a little, I deliver my part of the promise next. “From dawn ‘til dusk, from dusk ‘til dawn, I’ll never love another.”

As soon as I’ve said it, I understand why Kai seems so ecstatic.

There’s a deep contentment inside me. It’s new, and I don’t even have a word for it. This type of happiness can’t be described or named. It can only be experienced.

I’m lighter.

I feel young, energized, and really, really horny.

The vow isn’t completed without sex. We’re well aware of that fact.

Kai’s cock is aware, too.

I didn’t think it could get bigger, but it’s more engorged than I’ve ever seen it. The long shaft is stuck between us, and our height difference is so staggering, it’s poking the middle of my breasts.

In the next second, Kai scoops me up, then his lips are on mine as I wind my legs around his waist. Putting each of his hands under my thighs, he anchors me to him by grabbing my butt.
