“I will find you. I will find you in that life. I fucking promise you that. But you have to go. Please, baby.”
As long as there is breath in my lungs and a heart in my chest, I will fight for her with everything that I am.
Our souls are now bound together. Our lives forever connected. Our magic entwined. It means that she and I are a match fated by the goddesses. It means that we have been given the greatest gift ever bestowed on a fae. It means that she’s mine.
You have your own light, little sun. So you must carry it with you when it grows dark.
When tears are like starfall, when bleak is like night, We remember the dawn that will bring back the light.
I might not know anything else yet, but I do know this truth with innate certainty. My name is Auren Turley.
And I am stronger than the dark.
“You can’t love me,” I tell him, my voice full of denial. “I can.”
No argument. No added detail. Just a vow. “You don’t want me really,” I argue. “I do.” “You won’t always.” “I will.”
“With me, you aren’t a saddle. You’re just you. That means you do whatever the fuck feels good for you. In whatever position you want. I’ll take you from behind, from front, backwards, forwards, upside fucking down. I’ll slam you against the wall or be fucking sweet in a tub. Don’t worry about pleasing me, because I promise, I’ll enjoy every second of whatever we’re doing, however we’re doing it, because I fucking love you. You get me?”
“Well?” he asks, cracking one eye open as if he could sense my gaze. “Are we a mistake, Rissa?” The answer is easy, and I smile at him. “The best mistake I ever made.”
“You found me,” she whispers, lip trembling. The relief and heartbreaking joy is so intense I have to shove it aside before I can answer. “I’ll always find you, Goldfinch.” Always.
“Oh, Goldfinch. My love for you consumes every part of my soul. It’s in every word, every movement. With each morning that dawns and every night that falls. You are completely mine, and I am yours, and that is all I ever need in this life and all the others.” I kiss her forehead, tears burning in my eyes. “I love you, Auren.”
