Something in my heart fractures and I close my eyes. How did we come to this? That he had to resort to these measures just to see me? “Don’t you see? I have always been right here, Micah.” I say the words slowly, not sure if he can even hear me. However, when I open my eyes and look at him, I am

Micah’s POV “Mommy says that’s a bad word.” I can’t seem to reply. I am frozen, shocked by the faint scent that is coming from her. It’s a unique scent. It belongs to royalty. It belongs to great power. It belongs to me. She smells like my blood. My kin. She smells like me. Which is impossible
I hug her tightly and kiss her cheek. “I am going to fulfill everything you ever wish for, my love.” “Promise?” She asks with a big, gummy smile. “Promise.” I say, with my heart on my fucking sleeve, knowing full well that this tiny creature already has me wrapped around her little finger. _____

He arches an eyebrow, clearly unsatisfied. “Louder.”“I’m yours,” I repeat, my voice stronger this time, but still shaky. He gives me another teasing stroke, and I can’t help but moan.“Louder, Fiona. I need to hear you,” he says, his voice a mix of demand and dark promise. He brushes his thumb over
