There’s not much said between us as we reach the manor. Eldra is already there, and she checks on Kovas as soon as we’re inside. She quickly takes him away, and Aron helps with that. For the moment that I’m left alone, I take a deep breath of relief. If anything. Kael is gone–for now.
I’ve got Aron back, and that’s all that matters to me right now.
After so long, especially.
“She’ll update me if anything changes. Gave him some medicine for the pain, but otherwise, he should be okay,” he says as he comes out from the door at the end of the hallway. “Are you fine?” he questions, coming closer to me.
“Yes. I’m alright, I respond, nodding. There’s no injury to my form. “Are you?”
He narrows his gaze, then takes either of my hands in his own. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just feeling a little strange. I’m sorry for the trouble. For everything that has happened.” His eyes flicker back to mine.
He’s apologizing. He knows what Kael has done.
“It’s over now. Right?”
He nods. “It is. I shouldn’t let him have so much power. I shouldn’t let this happen again.” His thumb strokes over my palm, and then he brings it to his mouth, kissing the knuckles. “But I was afraid of losing you, and with the way things were going, 1 didn’t know what to do,” he admits. “I’m sorry.”
“You won’t,” I reassure him.
His hand tightens over mine before he pulls me closer and wraps his arm around my small frame. My cheek rests against his chest, and his mouth is on my forehead.
“You’re all I need.” His voice comes from above me, deep and gruff.
He’s tired. Exhausted. So am I.
He takes me back to his room, our room, and the first thing he does is strip off our clothes and get into the shower. I don’t object to that, as I’m still covered in mud and dirt. He cleans us both, and he takes his time with that, washing and cleaning every part of me as well as his. When he’s satisfied, we both step out of the shower, and he takes a towel before wiping us down. He doesn’t care much about himself, not as much as he does for me, drying every inch of my body. His fingers are warm as they brush over the curve of my hips.
It’s late, past midnight, and the exhaustion from today and what had happened earlier still lingers. The sheets are fresh and clean, and as I sit down on the edge of the bed,
Aron stands in front of me with a towel wrapped around his hips, and he brushes his hand through my hair, his fingers running over the damp strands. It feels nice, his fingers, and I lean into his touch.
“I’m so sorry,” he whispers. “Sometimes I just can’t control it, Rhea. I’ve hurt you; I’ve done things—*
“It’s fine now,” I cut him off before placing my hand over his that stops on my thigh. “It’s over. I wanted you back, in any way and in any form that I can. And you’re here, aren’t you? It’s all I wanted.
He’s leaning closer and I wrap my arms around him. I pull him down until his face is inches away from

I can feel him, his presence. And the way he smells. It’s him, all Aron.
His lips press against my own, and I kiss him. I kiss him, wanting to taste and savor him.
He kisses me back.
It’s slow, but I’m unable to keep the kiss as chaste and sweet for long. Not after everything. I’ve missed him, and I’ve been missing him. It’s like I can breathe for the first time.
My hand comes to rest on the back of his neck, pulling him closer, and I press my mouth firmer to his own. He’s gentle, s much so, until he realizes what I want.
A soft growl leaves him, rumbling in the back of his throat, and I feel the shiver that runs down his skin.
“Careful,” he breathes.
“Or else?”
“You might get hurt.”
I lick my lips, tasting his own. “And I thought you would be gentle with me.”
“I can be,” he replies, his hands moving over the bare skin of my hips, touching the sides of my stomach. “But I’m too desperate, and it has been so long.”
My lips curl into a smile as I straddle over him, my knees resting on either side of his hips. When his towel slips, it reveals the part of him that’s only for me.
And my smile only widens. I wrap my fingers around the base of him and stroke, feeling the warmth of him on my fingertips.
“Fuck,” Aron breathes out. His hips move forward, and his head leans back against the mattress.
“Rhea,” his eyes open to slits, and I watch his expression, the way he clenches his jaw, the way his fingers dig into the skin of my thighs. “What are you doing?”
“Just enjoying myself.”
“Are
you now?” he groans.
I nod, my fingers wrapping around him as I take my sweet time with it. The towel slips away completely from him, and I get a good look at him, all bare and hard. His thickness juts up, and there’s pre–cum already gathering on top of the head.
I want to feel it inside me, to feel the pleasure he brings me. It has been so long since I’ve had that.
I take him in my hand, and I press myself closer, brushing him along the folds of my entrance.
It feels nice.
His hand comes to rest on my lower back, and his eyes are glued to me as he watches me above him, struggling to contain my own pleasure.
Before anything can even happen, a loud knock lands on the door, forcing us both to come to a complete halt. My fingers are wrapped around the base of his length, and Aron’s hand is at the small of my back.
He curses, “Fucking hell. His fingers tighten and then relax. “Who is it?” he shouts, not bothering to hide the annoyance from his tone.
The voice on the other end belongs to Marcella.
