Hildi
The room grows warm, but I don’t know if it’s the fire or my body reacting to the kisses from Rupert and Armin. Rupert may not have much experience, but his instincts are on point. The link between us only adds to the desire. Even if he’s intimidated, even if he’s scared, I know that he wants me. I can sense it.
Armin comes at me like a freight train. Hands wandering, mouth hard. His kisses make my panties wet, and if I didn’t think it would scare off the others, I’d yank his pants down right now and show him how much I need him.
Slow down, I tell myself.
Something epic is happening in this magical tavern. I can’t blow it.
I glance down at Armin’s waist. Gods, the things I want to blow.
The day had been humiliating. The moment with Marshal confusing. But this? What I’m feeling in this room? Morgan was right. Christensen was right.
Balance.
Bonding.
Mating.
With every kiss I feel stronger. With every touch, the pain vanishes in my back and knees from the day of hard labor. With every caress the grief from losing Andi, from losing my immortality, from losing control, vanishes.
Armin kisses me once more, letting his tongue linger against my lips, before stepping away, leaving me breathless.
“Care to share what this is about?” Agis asks in a tight voice. He crosses his legs. In the firelight I see the solid bulge of his cock. He’s turned on, even if he’s still guarded.
“I have a theory,” I say, pushing my hair out of my face.
“No,” Rupert interrupts, “we have a theory.”
She explains it quickly. Convincingly. How when we fell through the portal we didn’t just take the guardians place, we adopted the core of who they are. And that includes their bond with Morgan and the power that comes with it.
“You really believe that?” Agis frowns, his drink forgotten. “Doesn’t something like a mating bond just happen? It’s not really something you can force.”
“Maybe,” she says, her voice losing confidence. “But we’re role playing here. It may take a little massaging to get the magic flowing.”
He raises an eyebrow at Armin. “Do you feel it?”
He swallows, eyes lingering on me, cheeks turning a faint pink. “What I feel with Hildi is indescribable.”
He rolls his eyes and looks at Miya.
“And what about you? Do you believe this? Would you give up your vows for this?”
Miya looks at me, eyes dark and soulful. I want to know the answer to this question, too. So badly that my hands tremble in anticipation.
“I know that after we had sex, things have been different.”
“How so?” Armin asks.
“Over centuries, I’ve mastered the ability to keep a clear mind. To focus on my spirit and the energy around me. That is how I stay focused. It’s how I kill. It’s how I survive.” He licks his lips and the faint light in the tavern makes his jaw strong and sharp. “Since we slept together, I think about Hildi. Often. Always. When I’m meditating. When I’m fighting.
