Enchantra (Wicked Games, #2)

by Kaylie Smith

“How could you? How could you trade your immortality for me?” she whispered. “What were you thinking?” He reared back in shock. “You saw that?” “I saw everything,” she told him. “I can’t believe I didn’t recognize you, that day in the Quarter. I hate that you must have been…” “Devastated,” he admitted. “Ophelia warned me that you still didn’t remember. But even that didn’t prepare me for the way you looked at me and there was just… nothing.” “That’s not true,” she swore. “Even without any of my memories, I felt drawn to you. We could be enemies, or husband and wife, or just fucking, but never nothing, Rowington Silver.” His smile was brilliant. “Before you, I was going to spend my eternity alone, in the darkest parts of Hell. I’d much rather spend a single lifetime in your light. Or, at least, for however long you’ll have me.” Then he leaned his forehead against hers. “I want you to know, I really would have waited for you, right here, forever if that’s what it would have taken. I would have stood in this spot until I could no longer distinguish my own soul from the shadows. Until your light came back to me.” She smiled. “I know.” Truth. “Does that mean… does that mean there are strings now?” “As many as you want, Mrs. Silver. And tie them down as tight as you’d like,” he told her.
