And eventually we collapsed onto the bed, only to continue our sensual dance, our groins locked together in a kiss meant to last a lifetime.
She destroyed me.
She completed me.
She ensured we would remain forever together.
I sunk my teeth into her neck, desiring that promise in blood.
She responded in kind, taking my essence deep into her mouth and swallowing before slamming her mouth over mine once more.
My Kai, she breathed.
My Flora, I returned. My gorgeous, bright star.
Our sensuality followed us into our dreams, the riddles fracturing between us and creating new, complex locks—ones no one would ever be able to break.
When night finally came, the sunset of our new life, I woke her in the same way we’d fallen asleep. Then I finally tasted her, and I confirmed that our dreams had nothing on our reality.
This is the real dream, I told her. My life with you. That’s the dream, Aflora. And I hope I never wake up.
She smiled, her heart in her eyes. Neither do I, Kai. Neither do I.
