Chapter 123

• Kael didn't even have time to fully open the door to his room before he pushed Morvienne inside. Her back hit the heavy wood of the door with a soft, echoing thud as he pressed the full weight of his body against hers, his lips crashing onto hers in a desperate and hungry kiss, completely unrestrained. Morvienne groaned into his mouth, her arms winding tightly around his neck, fingers digging into the hair at the nape of his neck to pull him as close as physically possible.
• The energy between them had been building for a long while, and now that they were finally alone, they couldn't hold back anymore. Every single restraint snapped. They weren't sure if their rut or surge had officially begun, but the pull of the mating bond was screaming in their blood. They needed each other, and they needed it with a ferocity that left them both breathless.
• As they stumbled blindly further into the room, Morvienne never broke the kiss. She managed to reach behind her, her fingers blindly searching for the handle, and clicked the door shut. Her lips remained locked with his, their tongues dancing in a frantic, wanting rhythm as they began fumbling with their clothes, fingers shaking with desperate urgency.
