damn that was so good

“Say it,” he ordered when he withdrew from the kiss. “Say it and we will find a way.”
“Stay.” She surprised herself with the desperation in the word, with the emotion that welled up and broke free of her relaxed grip on her mind and her magic.
“Yes, my queen.” He cupped her face in his hands. “My heart.”

yeah

“One never knows how long a lifetime is,” he murmured, “so we should begin now.”
Naime smiled, a soft laugh escaping, and nodded. “Such a practical thinker,” she purred, flicking open the top button of his caftan. ”

weee

“I see. You helped me to reveal my pain and failures as a favor.”
“No.” He gripped her waist, pulling her forward and stroking her with his gaze. “I wanted them. Every single one. I wanted you to unleash yourself on me, so that you are mine, your secrets and hurts mine to keep and guard.”

ummm??

“
The one thing he wouldn’t think of, couldn’t, was her laughter, and the look in her eyes at the last moment. The way he’d burst with the awareness that all he wanted in the world was to make her laugh like that, make her forget her discipline and her burdens. And the choking, bitter realization he never would. It would be someone else. In a few days, a turn at the most, they would part.”

bro

“
He pressed her back to the ground, hitching one leg up by her hip and burying his face in her neck to muffle his groan. The sound of it, longing and need, filled Naime with pulsing desire. He lifted the weight of his hips off of hers and dug his hand beneath her ferace, lifting up her entari, then tugged up on her caftan.”

theyre dry humping oh

“ “Oh,”. Shadow pulsed in the air around him, magic bleeding from him, aroused and unleashed by his desire.
“Yes, oh,” he mocked gently, “you are murdering me by degrees.”“I didn’t mean to.”“I have wanted to touch you since I saw you…” Her memories of his half-clothed body snuck up and tyrannized her thoughts at the worst possible moments.”

fuck

“I am finished. You’ve ended me.”
Naime closed her eyes, trying to find her calm in the raging swirl of fading desperation. No one had ever written in any history book that a destruction mage’s kisses might be just as devastating as their magic. Or perhaps that was only Makram.”

fuck

“She had not imagined she would feel the clutch of desire that stole her breath.
His first kiss was brief and fierce, the softness of his mouth laid over hers, warmth and little shocks of sensation bursting all over her body, not just where his lips touched hers.”

fuck i miss him so bad

“ I see“—she swallowed back her trepidation—”shadow like dusk, the peace at the end of struggle, magic to break down barriers that imprison us.”
“You are necessary.” She mirrored his touch by lifting her other hand so his face was caught between her fingers. “Your magic is necessary. And beautiful, like night.”

fuck that’s beautiful
