Chapter Thirty-Three

I had to explain everything to the men before they'd even let me on a horse. Going without speaking to me for hours while having to watch confusing actions going on around them had taken its toll. When I told them about the sphere, they went quiet; all of them looking uneasy. I pointed out that whatever it was, it was miles away, beneath Sgáthan. It was not our biggest concern at the moment.

They agreed but decided that it would probably be a good idea to get me away from Sgáthan immediately. So, we hurried back to Alexandrite Castle, bathed off the saltwater, and went to bed. We were all too exhausted to do much else. Since we were in Declan's home, I spent the night with him, but he drifted off to sleep far sooner than I did. I laid awake for hours; my hand atop the Girdle as I thought about a simple black sphere.

When I finally did get to sleep, my dreams were full of strange things; shadows taking physical form, icy lips crying out to me, flames melting that ice, and the brush of wings across my skin. I woke in a cold sweat—my heart racing—and couldn't understand why. My thighs ached as if I'd been running, and my body tingled with need.

I rolled over and slid my hand across Declan's hard stomach; trailing it down to stroke his manhood. It sprang to life immediately, and he stirred awake with it; his arm slipping up around me to pull me closer. I didn't have time for kisses or foreplay, though; I eased astride him and sank down over his shaft. Declan groaned and closed his eyes with pleasure.

Suddenly, the world shifted, and the room filled with water. Seaweed fluttered in the currents around us, and light filtered down through the rippled surface of the sea above us. Declan and I lifted off the bed; continuing to make love while being supported by saltwater.

Osiris wasn't the only illusionist I knew, and Declan had manifestation magic as well. He could make the illusion as real or as surreal as he wanted. The water lifted us, and yet, we didn't need potions to breathe. That was the complexity and power of Declan's magic.

“This is what I wanted to do with you last night,” Declan murmured as he pushed me back in the water and grabbed my hips tight.

My back arched as I let the illusion carry my weight, and then I wrapped my legs around Declan's waist. My hair trailed out around me; rippling with the power of his thrusts. I was soon crying out in ecstasy; hands grasping for Declan's shoulders as he tensed and shouted out his release.

“Holy fuck!” Gage exclaimed.

My head jerked to the side, to see Gage standing near the open door with Torin and Banning. They all stared around the room at the scene that they were not a part of, but yet had stepped into. Despite the room appearing to be full
