Chapter 22

Rowan tasted like oak and magic and forbidden fruit.

The ground dropped out from beneath her feet, and her head spun. A roaring of blood inside her ears collided with blinding sparks at the backs of her eyes. A kind of ancient magic that started in her fingers and toes, racing through her veins like an arrow to plunge deep into her chest.

This wasn’t just a kiss. Rowan single-mindedly consumed her. Fucking her mouth with the kind of confidence and power she knew would be her ruin.

With one hand fisted tight in her hair, he growled against her lips and threw the blade away. Allowing it to clatter to the floor before he wrapped the other hand around the front of her throat. His large palm was hot and slick with the blood that had dripped down the handle of the weapon.

This was the kiss of a man who was savouring his last chance to capture a breath before drowning.

Maybe they were both drowning.

No–there was no fucking way this was real. Ri’s brain shattered into a thousand sparkling shards and then melted with the intense furnace of raw desire and want claiming her mouth.

Rowan was kissing her, and it couldn’t possibly be…

Sagging against his hold as her knees gave out, she fisted the front of his shirt—his very fucking blood-soaked shirt. The sticky wetness of the material beneath her fingers only added to the onslaught of sensations tumbling through her. A battle between her mind and body that threatened to tear her in two.

As if he could sense her panic and desperation hurtling around on the inside, he drew back with a dark noise. Giving her a scathing and smouldering look through hooded eyes. “What?” He rumbled.

Fuck. That look alone could burn entire realms to the ground.

Breathless and aching for more, she darted her tongue out to swipe across her bottom lip. Confessing the truth danced on the edge of her tongue—a struggle warring within against the relentless tug of fate.

But fear triumphed. She took the cowardly route instead.

“Nothing.” More lies.

“You’re lying, little faerie.” Rowan’s big fingers flexed to squeeze the front of her neck.

It couldn’t be possible.

“I’m surprised you know how to kiss, is all, brute.” Her fingers dug tighter against his chest. “Seeing as you never kiss, it’s a miracle you know what you’re doing.”

That bought her another scorching look. A raised eyebrow. Powerful fingers tugged on the hair at her nape and held her captive.

“I didn’t say I never do… I just don’t make a habit of it with fae.” He spat the words out and jealousy slithered up her spine. The mere thought of him being with other fae… all those who he might not have kissed, but had most likely done plenty of other things with.

I don’t need to kiss you to know how you taste.

Ri’s entire world as she knew it was crashing around her ears. That single moment their lips first touched had changed every-fucking-thing.

Her heart thudded in the back of her throat.

“Fine. Whatever.
