“Marry me,” he says. Time slows and my breathing stops. Marry me. A second ago I was mad with lust, and now…now… “It’s not enough to be mated to you,” he says, “I want it all, if only you’ll have me.” My hands begin to tremble where they grip him. I can barely hear my thoughts over the pounding of my heart. “Marry me, and I will cherish you forever, cherub.” Marry me. We’re already bound by unbreakable forces. The supernatural world sees us as soul mates, as does the Otherworld. Marriage is for humans.
