ESTELA
Before I was taken from Enduvida, my favorite part of the day was the clock towerâs songs. I can tell weâve slept late when I hear the bright tune of early afternoon.
I push myself up, and the world tilts sideways as I drag my head from the pillow.
The hand grasping my hip tightens at the movement.
As does the tail wrapped around my leg.
My heart starts to race at the sight of the blatant possessiveness, and for one of the first times since being tortured, it doesnât fill me with panic.
Teo lets out a long growl that turns into a purr as I place my hand atop his and lean down to press a kiss to his forehead.
Only then can I slide off the bed and run to the bathroom.
This room was always beautiful, but its opulence feels exaggerated as I compare it to the bleak cottage in Zlosa. The Enduar plumbing system is a luxury that only can be fully appreciated after weeks of being stuck in a cage with a bucket.
When Iâm finished, I look at the mirror for the first time since the night of the coronation.
The reddish scars on my throat from the metal collar and Teoâs teeth are the most prominent things I notice, along with the frizzy curls that puff out of the top part of my braid and curve around my face.
Another damaged memory surfaces, the first night that I gave in to Teo. After he died.
No. Not dead.
A logical part of me wars with the conflicting memories that tell me he didnât die, but I see him bleeding out on the bed, and everything goes hazy with tears.
Itâs easy to picture how his eyes went back into his head, and his skin turned coldâgrey. And then he was a monster who wanted to kill me.
I push away from the sink and slam into the wall. Then the dry heaving starts.
My whole body shudders just as the door opens and warm, soft skin wraps me up.
âEstela, my love,â Teo says in my ear. âWas it another memory?â
I nod weakly, letting myself sink into his warmth as we sit on the ground.
Itâs like a bath, one before all the torture. My aching joints and pounding skull ease in his presence.
My mind opens.
He rubs my back, taking every awful thought. It isnât until every trace of panic is gone that I realize he is still naked.
Thick, muscled thighs cradle my hips.
Tears dry. Heat scalds me.
Thereâs so much I crave with him that has been left unexplored.
Without speaking, Teo shows me his version of the ruined memory from the night he nearly died.
He wakes up sore, though his heart pounds like a drum. I see the door open and watch myself come out of the bathroom. I feel the smell burrow into his senses and the feral need it awakes.
As the memory progresses, we get closer and closer to my climax. My skin gets over sensitive as I watch. He shocks me when he puts his hand between my inner thighs in real-time.
