Chapter 31: Desperate Connection

“Escuro,” Escuridade gasped out, arching into his touch. The word was part plea, part command. “Stop teasing me like this.” Her own hands moved from his chest to grip his shoulders tightly, nails biting into the muscle there. The familiar darkness within her seemed to recede completely under the flood of sensation coursing through her veins. Escuro’s one hand moved from her breast to undo the binds that hold his robe closed, parting his robe so his muscular chest and cock was bare. His erection rubbed directly against her folds now. A low, guttural sound escaped her throat as he finally freed himself from his confines. The sight of his naked chest and the hard length of his erection pressing directly against her sensitive flesh sent a shockwave of pure sensation through her entire being.He inner muscles clenched involuntarily around him, already craving the invasion. “Finally,” she breathed out, her voice raspy with need. Her purple

Chapter 32: Fulfilment

Escuro rolled them over, so he was on top of her, then he moved his hips again. The sudden shift in position caught Escuridade off guard, her back hitting the cold stone floor of the ruined watchtower with a soft thud. The change in angle sent fresh waves of sensation through her as Escuro settled between her thighs, his weight pinning her pleasantly to the ground. Her legs instinctively wrapped around his hips, ankles locking behind his back. “Yes– like this,” she moaned, tilting her pelvis up to meet his next thrust.The new position allowed him to drive deeper inside her, reaching places that made stars explode behind her eyelids. “Oh Gods, Escuro- yes!” her hands scrambled for purchase. On the rough stone surface beside them while her heels dug into the small of his back. The faster pace resumed immediately, each powerful stroke pushing her closer and closer to the edge. “Harder,” she commanded breathlessly against his shoulder. &

Chapter 33: Infiltrating the Cathedral

“Amelia,” Escuridade repeated the name flatly, her purple eyes losing their post-coital warmth and hardening with suspicion. “What does she have to do with this? Is this about protection detail? Because I have already assigned three Corrompido guards to watch her.” She wrapped the robe around her shoulders but did not tie it securely, leaving one shoulder bare as she turned to face him more directly. “If you are asking me to let her fight alongside us tomorrow– absolutely not,” she stated firmly before Escuro could even finish his thought. He sits up and pulls her into his arms. “We can’t enter the cathedral. Our kind– we are not welcome there. But she could enter,” he said softly. “And if she could manage to get to the dungeons from there and free out people, Cidade dos escravos can fall from within.”Escuridade stiffened in Escuro’s arms, her body going rigid at the suggestion. The idea of s

Chapter 34: Comrades in Arms

Escuro grabs Escuridade’s wrist. “He loves her,” he says softly. “If I thought you would let me lock you away to keep you safe, I would do the same.” Escuridade’s angry expression faltered at his words, the firm grip on her wrist serving as a physical reminder of the very conflict she was railing against. She stared down at his hand, then back up at his face, seeing the genuine concern and love reflected in his red eyes. “Don’t,” she said quietly, her voice losing its sharp edge. “Don’t compare what Luz feels for Amelia to what you feel for me. We are not talking about love– we are talking about survival.” She pulled her wrist gently from his grasp but did not step away.Instead, she sank back downs onto the stone floor beside him, wrapping her arms around her knees. “You are right,” she admitted grudgingly after a moment of silence. “I would fight you every step of the way if you

Chapter 35: Seductive Whispers

“What if I want you to kiss me?” Amelia asked challengingly back in Luz’s tent. Luz’s breath hitched at her bold question, the challenge in her green eyes lighting a fire within him that had been dormant for too long. The crimson glow in his eyes intensified as he closed the remaining distance between them in two swift strides. “Be careful what you wish for,” he warned huskily, kneeling on the cot so they were eye-level despite his taller stature. His hands landed on either side of her hips, caging her against the furs without actually touching her yet. The black veins along his neck pulsed visibly as his self-control strained against six years of loneliness and forbidden desires. “Because if I start kissing you know, I will not stop until morning– and we both know that is a terrible idea before a major battle.”Luz’s face hovered inches from hers, their breaths mingling in the tense space between them. “Is it?

Chapter 36: Seeing the Man Behind the Monster

Amelia moaned and her head fell back in pleasure as Luz pressed open-mouth kisses along her collarbone. Her hands moved to his shoulders to hold onto him. His hands moved to her back, pulling her flush against him so their bare chests pressed together. The contrast of her warm skin against the creeping coldness of the black veins sent a shiver through him. “Gods, Amelia,” he breathed against her neck, his lips tracing the line of her jaw. “Every time I touch you, I feel like I am burning from the inside out.” His fingers worked at the laces of his own trousers with impatient movements, kicking the fabric aside until her stood fully exposed before her. The black veins along his hips and thighs pulsed visibly in the dim light.“You should see what you are doing to me,” he said roughly, his crimson eyes fixed on her face as she moaned beneath his touch. “The way you look at me– it is like you do not see the monster at all.” A

Chapter 37: Protector and More…

“That’s it,” Luz encouraged gruffly, his voice taking on that younger, warmer tone Amelia remembered. “Let me hear you say it. Let me hear the woman I love lose herself in me.” His hands moved from her hips to tangle in her red hair, angling her head back so her could watch the ecstasy wash over her features. “You feel incredible,” he confessed between ragged breaths, his movements becoming more deliberate as he focused entirely on her pleasure. “Like coming home after a lifetime of wandering.” His movement became slower, more deliberate, each thrust now aimed at drawing out the pleasure rather than chasing his own release. The crimson glow in his eyes softened to that familiar amber as he focused entirely on her.His hands slid up from her hips to cup her breasts, thumbs brushing over the sensitive peaks with practiced gentleness. “You are so beautiful,” he breathed against her skin, his lips trailing along he

Chapter 38: Mine

“You are mine,” he declared possessively, his hands gripping her hips tightly. “Mine to protect, mine to fuck, mine to come home to every night.” His words were punctuated by a guttural moan as his own climax hit him with the force of a physical blow. “Amelia,” he breathed out her name like a prayer, his forehead pressing against hers as he rode out the waves of pleasure. The amber glow in his eyes burned brightly for several long moments before beginning to fade back into crimson. His body went slack against hers, the weight of six years of loneliness and guilt suddenly crashing down on him now that the immediate pleasure had passed.“You can’t keep doing this to me,” Luz said quietly once his breathing steadied somewhat. Amelia’s hands moved to the back of his head, her fingers soothingly combing through his long ash-silver hair. “I don’t ever want to stop,” she said breathless but with a serious

Chapter 39: Breakfast

The next morning Amelia was woken up by happy cheers outside the tent. Luz was still deep asleep, but curiosity got the better of her. She slowly stood up, careful not to wake him and she quickly put on his big white shirt. Carefully she stuck her head out of the tent to look around. The Corrompido in the camp we excitedly moving around and chattering. Salvaxe spotted her and approached with a platter, as he neared, she could smell the cooked chicken. “Breakfast?” he asked with a rough voice. “Smells delicious,” Amelia said carefully. “Patrols found a supply caravan,” he said gruffly. “Oh,” she said stepping out of the tent more comfortably. “Is that why everyone is excited?” Salvaxe nodded and took an apple out of his pocket and offered it to her. She took is with a smile.“Thank you,” she said softly. “You should keep your strength up,” he said quickly, handing her the platter and turning to

Chapter 40: Dreams Come True

“Amelia,” Luz began, his amber eyes meeting hers with newfound seriousness. “Whatever this connection between us is– it is changing both of us. You are carrying my darkness on your skin, and I– I am becoming something closer to the man you remember.” Amelia smiled brightly and kissed him slowly. Luz’s breath hitched as her tongue sought entry, the warmth of her mouth a stark contrast to the cold reality of his existence. His own tongue met hers hesitantly at first, then with growing intensity as the familiar taste of her flooded his senses. His hands slid from her hips to the small of her back, pulling her closer until there was no space left between their bodies.The oversized shirt she wore shifted with the movement, exposing more of her skin to his touch. “Gods, Amelia. You have no idea what you are doing to me. Every part of me that is still human is screaming to never let you go.” he murmured against her lips, h
