“You killed him with no hesitation,” he said in awe, his green eyes crinkling around the edges as he smiled in wonder. I closed the distance between us and took him into my arms, burying my face into his golden hair. He was safe. My muscles relaxed and I exhaled a shaky breath, finding comfort in the warmth of his skin and his earthy scent. “The only thing that matters to me in this life is you, Ery.” I kissed the side of his head and entwined my fingers in the short waves of his hair. “Gods, man, creature… I will kill them all if it means saving you.”
