at you. You’re even more beautiful than I imagined.”
I lift my hips and slowly rock back and forth. “You imagined me naked? Pervert.”
He gives a lopsided grin. “Since the day I saw you at the party and I ain’t ashamed to admit it.” He tweaks my nipple again, making me moan. “Every guy at the party wanted you, but only I get to have you, and guess what, jaybird?”
“What?” I grin, my heart skipping a beat.
“I’m never lettin’ you go.”
His grip on my waist tightens, and he slams me down onto him, as if emphasising his point. He moves his hand from my breast to the nape of my neck and pulls me down, smothering my moans with his lips. The pleasure siphoning between us has my breath hitching and my toes curling until all I can focus on is our bodies moving in sync with each other. Everything melts away. The prison, the Titans, the Blood Trials, even Eva—they all disappear and I cling to Luke as if trying to hold on to this blissful euphoria washing over me. But no matter how slowly I take him in, how desperately I want this moment to last forever, my orgasm gives way and I’m screaming out his name.
Luke isn’t far behind before he’s letting go. He looks up at me as he comes, and I take in his moans with my lips. His hand twists through my hair and he pulls me closer, thrusting into me slowly before stilling. Our foreheads press together as we try to catch our breaths. The moonlight bleeding over Luke’s features, his cock still pulsing inside me, gives me exactly what I needed—an escape from reality. In those moments I was able to switch off entirely and pretend that I was somewhere else, that it was just the two of us and no one else.
“What are you thinkin’, jaybird?” he asks me softly, running his fingers up and down my back.
“Nothing much,” I whisper, lifting my head to look at him. “Just that I love you and I’m not letting you go either. You’re stuck with me, Shadow Warden.”
Luke brushes the hair from my face and smiles up at me. “I’m lucky to be stuck with, and to love someone like you. As Selena is my witness, I’m gettin’ you out of here no matter what it takes.”
I settle back in his arms with a contented sigh. At first light, I’m gathering all my guys and telling them about the Titan keys, then we are going to get out of this prison once and for all.
“Wake up!” Kaelah shouts at me, shaking my shoulders with urgent eyes. She cries out, her body fading in and out like an old movie. Cracks cover her appearance, almost like she isn’t here as she cries out one more time. I don’t know why, but I laugh and push her away from me before I carry on skipping through the beautiful fields of flowers. I run my hands over the purple, orange, and red flowers as I pass by, giggling in delight. Kaelah appears in front of me once again and I come to a halt, frowning at her. “I’m sorry about this.” Her words do nothing to slow her down as she hits me hard across my cheek and I stumble to the ground.
“Why?” I ask, not understanding. I was having such a nice dream, everything was good and bright. The world here is peaceful.
I don’t want to wake up.
“It is time. This is when you find out everything, and I am going to help you. Tell me the spell your mother gave you. Eva is ready now. She has her army under the spell she placed on you all last night so you will fight her war with no clue what you are doing. Empty shells, that’s what you all are to her now, but you must wake up.”
I only think of it, and she nods as though she read my mind. It doesn’t shock me that she can do that.
“Why?” I question again.
“You need your destined mates and I will wake their minds for you. Until they can help, you must distract her!” She takes my hands in hers. “Don’t let her break you. Please save my titans. We need you, Princess Izora Dawn.”
“Princess?”
I wake up with a jolt, realising I’m not on the hospital bed anymore. I’m standing in a line with numerous other Light Fae, all dressed in prison uniforms. They each carry swords
