“You can conquer this, these feelings are only temporary,”
Something in my heart squeezed, knowing the compassion that the prince had for these orphans. The monster I’d painted him to be was not the man standing before me.
Even in my distaste for marrying a Morwenian, I couldn’t deny that one irrefutable fact. In a world of stars, Koraine was the moon.
“I suggest you do not ever let me hear mention of my wife on your tongue again, or you just might find yourself without one,”
“You’re so warm,” she said, her hand against my skin. “Why did I think you would be cold?”
Not once since I’d been in Abelon had I heard the prince laugh. It was such a genuinely merry sound, and his eyes wrinkled in the corners as his smile grew. It was something I could grow used to.
“Because I don’t share what’s mine,” he said, the heat of his gaze burned into my back.
“You ignite a different type of fire in me. One that I’m afraid if I give in to, I will never be able to let you go,” he whispered.
He was the embodiment of flames,
I got to choose to open my heart to Bellamy.
I knew, although I couldn’t give her my heart, I would burn the world for her.
“From the moment you stepped off that damned ship I knew you were going to be my weakness.
“You belong to no one,” I assured her in a low growl. “What if right now, I just want to belong to you?” She glanced up from under her thick eyelashes.
“I belong to you. Every last part of me is yours, Bellamy,” she said, catching her breath.
“You are mine right now, and you will be patient as I pleasure every inch of you.”
“If you don’t like what I am doing, stop me, but otherwise relax and let me worship you like you deserve.”
That’s the Bellamy that I am falling for. Not the prince the world sees, the one who has a heart on fire with a passion for his kingdom.”
Behind the broken and divided flames of Abelon, I saw a prince desperate to save his people. To protect all the people he loved.
“If I am the burning sun, ruled by flames, then you are my moon, ruling over the tides and completing the missing half of me.”
As I stood there, I realized this was everything I had ever wanted. I may be on the run from my father, and our lives may be at risk, but I had her. She was everything I wanted. Needed.
