FALLON

Slowly waking, I hear someone breathing to my right, but I don’t open my eyes. Using my magic, I scan the room and come to rest on the person beside the bed. It’s Arden, but what is she doing in here? The last thing I remember is her levitating me back through the portal to The Abbey. I open my eyes to find my room dark and glance at the clock, which reads four a.m. I slept twelve hours?

Confused, I slide my gaze over to Arden. She’s slumped down in an upholstered chair next to the bed, a blanket covering her. I stretch and groan softly. My body is still sore from the burnout yesterday. She stirs and opens her eyes.

“Hi,” she says sleepily. “How are you feeling?”

“Sore, but I’ll recover. Did you sleep here all night?” I’m shocked I’m even asking this question. I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone stay up with me all night. Not even my nannies when I was little. Certainly, never my father.

She ducks her head and plays with the edge of the blanket. “It’s fine. Callyx used to come home injured, and he didn’t want Solandis to know. So I’d stay up with him. I didn’t know what to do for burnout, though. I asked Theron, and he said to let you sleep. When do you think your magic will come back?”

“It’s already coming back, but it will take a couple of days to reach a hundred percent,” I murmur. She mumbles something and snuggles down into the blanket. There’s no way she’s comfortable in that chair. I slide out of bed and pick her up.

“What are you doing? I can walk back to my room,” she assures me.

After sleeping for twelve hours, I know I’m not getting any more sleep. I place her in the spot where I was sleeping and pull the covers up over her. She stares up at me from my bed, with her tousled hair and sweet smile, and the temptation proves to be too much. Groaning, I lean down and capture her lips with mine, but when my lips touch hers, I know one kiss isn’t going to be enough. Gripping her head between my hands, I kiss her over and over, my passion rising with each stroke of my tongue. Feeling her curves against my chest, my hands twitch with the need to explore every inch of her, but I rein in my desire.

When her passion meets mine, I hear her moan and she dives into me, stoking the fire even further and testing my control. With each deep kiss, I memorize the feel of her lips against mine and the taste of her passion, but I hold tightly to my control. She moves restlessly in the bed, and I pull back. When I look down, her swollen lips make me smile with satisfaction, but the dark circles under her eyes reinforces my decision.

“I’d love to stay here kissing you, but I know you’ve been up all night.
