Chapter Twenty

Ephrem

“Hold on.” I kissed the top of Lily’s head and headed for the bedroom. Our bedroom. It was surreal to think that she was here with me for the long haul. Her banishment was a cruel twist of fate, but to be told it was a permanent situation made me realize some things happened for a reason. This thing between us could actually work. Her and I. I intended to marry her, banishment be damned. She was my mate, and I felt it down deep inside that it was the only thing that was real. It was everything.

“What are you doing?” Lily called after me. I had a surprise for her, and I didn’t want her to see what I’d gotten until the last minute. I’d spent hours looking for it, but when I finally found it, I knew it was perfect.

“Hang on. You have to promise to close your eyes before I come back in,” I requested.

Her moans made me confident she was listening. When I returned, I relished watching her with her eyes closed. Her face was twisted in frustration, but the stress from before was gone. It was a different concern etched across her face, but I wanted to make it all go away. Even though she’d protest and I knew that I could face permanent banishment from the MarkTier Outlands Legion, I didn’t care. I’d risk it all for her. She was worth every one of the consequences.

“What is it? You’re killing me here!” Her hands waved in the space between us, and I clasped my free hand over one of her wrists.

“Patience, my love.” I bent forward and kissed her impossibly soft lips, gently at first, but with increasing pressure and urgency. Her mouth was sweet like candy, and I couldn’t get enough of it. I had to force myself away, for I knew if I kept going, I’d never stop.

She was a drug that stirred my most primal needs.

“Okay.” I settled next to her and held up the box. “Open your eyes.”

She obeyed. Her eyes first met mine and then slowly slid down to the small velvet box in the palm of my hand.

“What is it?”

“Open it.”

She hesitated, glancing from my hands to my face, a glint of exhilarated fear dancing in her pupils. I held my breath as she reached over and plucked the box from my grasp. Anticipating what was to come, I said a silent prayer to get the reaction I craved from her. In my heart, I knew it was what I really wanted, and I couldn’t wait to see her joy from my gift.

The dark velvet box clicked open in her fingers, and she stared at the contents with increasing wonder. Moments passed as she continued to study the item. I could no longer hold my breath, and I exhaled slowly, waiting impatiently.

“Lily?” I asked. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I had to know what was running through her mind.

“Mm?” she answered, still staring at the box, entranced.
