Prophecy: Dark Moon Rising [A Vampires Realm Novel]
Page 35
She smiled and placed her hand over his. “It's reciprocal. There will always be a room for you at my home."
She watched in silence as he turned his hand, taking hold of hers and bringing it to his lips. He pressed a long kiss to it, staring into her eyes the whole time, and she let him see the effect it had on her and how she felt.
When he bowed and walked away from her, she saw that all the survivors were tending to each other, helping each other heal as best they could. When she was strong again, she would heal them all. She nodded when Tiberius looked over at her and he bowed in response. She smiled at him, and at Xavier and Piotr.
Heaving a sigh, she looked over her shoulder at Valentine. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms about her waist, pulling her back flush against him. He pressed a kiss to her throat and when she reached out with her senses, she was surprised to find that he wasn't the slightest bit angry or jealous over how she'd acted with Venturi.
Turning in his embrace, she snaked her arms about him and looked up at him, taking in the way he was smiling at her and how beautiful he was.
"We did it,” she said in a breathless whisper. “We made it through together."
He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her hard. She latched onto his feelings of happiness and relief, and kissed him back with all the strength and passion she could muster.
Tears crept from the corners of her closed eyes and she brought her hands up, holding him close to her. He was holding her so tightly that she felt as though she couldn't breathe and she could sense how much he loved her and how glad he was that they'd made it through.
"You told me you love me,” he said telepathically.
She smiled against his mouth. “I love you."
He kissed her deeper. “I love you too."
"I want to lock myself away with you for days ... weeks,” she said.
He stopped kissing her and frowned. “We have families to run."
She shrugged. “That's what Chosen Son's and Daughter's are for."
He grinned at her, mischief filling his eyes, laced with desire.
She brushed her lips against his, barely touching them. The feeling of it made her eyes close and her stomach feel as though it was too light for her body. It flipped and jigged as his tongue swept against her lower lip and then he kissed her. When he pulled back again, he was still grinning wickedly.
"I still have apartments that people do not know about."
She giggled when he lifted her off the floor, their armour making it impossible for her to get as close to him as she wanted. She wrapped her arms about his neck and smiled down at him as he looked up at her. Sighing at him, she nodded. They were due a little time alone together.
She glanced around the room at their friends and then at the open door and the daylight outside. Her smile broadened when she watched the shafts of sunlight moving across the floor.
She felt as though a weight had been lifted off her shoulders and she was free again. Lives had been lost and wars had been won. New friendships had been forged and love had been found. Her whole world had changed. Her whole life had changed.
For the first time in what seemed like forever, she had a future in front of her that she was in control of. One that was certain.
She brought both her hands up and cupped Valentine's cheeks. He was still smiling at her, his eyes reflecting all his love for her. She lowered her head and rested her nose against his.
Shifting slightly, she touched her lips against his and sighed when he kissed her.
She'd made it through.
They'd made it through.
Together.
The End
About the Author:
Felicity Heaton, who writes under both her real name and F E Heaton, has been interested in all things preternatural since she was just a child. She used to while away days at school and college dreaming of vampires, werewolves and witches, and used to while away evenings watching movies about them or reading gothic horror stories and romances.
Having tried her hand at various romance genres, it was only natural for her to turn her passion back on the paranormal. She loves to write vampires, werewolves and witches, and makes no excuses for how brutal they can be. She writes them as they are: merciless hunters—seductive, sexy and strong. They're vicious, dark and dangerous, but, at the same time, they love, they laugh and they feel every emotion as strongly as anyone. She says that this is their world; she's just honoured to write down their adventures.
