For him, the world would wait.
He would take whatever she gave him and be fucking grateful.
‘You and I? We’re forever. We have been since I spied on you atop the cliffs at Thezmarr, since you shot that arrow at me in the Bloodwoods, and every moment since. We will find a way through this,’ she vowed. ‘Together.’
‘Who am I to deny you?’
‘Another scar to impress the ladies with,’ he said roughly. Thea scoffed. ‘Ladies? Plural?’ ‘Just the one.’ He winked.
‘Tell me what you need and it’s yours.’
‘What the fuck is this, Thea?’
‘See something you like, Princess?’
‘Show me,’ he growled. ‘Show me you’re ready for me.’
‘I can’t – I —’ ‘You can.’
‘There she is,’
‘You’re thinking of her, aren’t you?’ Torj ventured, staring into the campfire flames. ‘Always,’
‘Never letting Thea go again, not for the world.’
‘You have proven time and time again that you can fight your own battles,’ Wilder murmured in her ear. ‘But there are those you shouldn’t have to. Let me fight this one for you. Let me carry this burden.’
‘You never need to thank me,’ Wilder told her. ‘I will always fight for you. And it’s my honour to do so.’
‘Do you have a moment?’ she asked. ‘For you? Always.’
‘Good. I think you’ll find it very effective. Never underestimate how badly I want to bury my cock inside you.’
‘Good,’ Wilder replied. ‘Because I love you, so deeply, Thea. And if I tell you I love you a thousand times a day for the rest of our lives, it will not have been enough.’
‘What a tragedy,’ Thea said blandly. Wilder’s gaze flicked to hers and then to the dog at her feet. ‘Devastating,’ he agreed.
‘Eyes on me, Thea,’ he commanded. ‘I need to watch you come apart. I need to see it.’
for loving her was a privilege, and that privilege was worth any cost.
‘You asked me what I wanted?’ he rasped, thrusting into her slowly, deeply. ‘I want more than war stories and bloodshed. I want to build a life with you, Thea.’
‘It’s always been you, Thea. And as long as I’m with you, you’re the only home I’ll ever need.’
