Kavira POV
I slid into his lap, straddling him, my heart thundering with anticipation. This was it. No more running. No more fear. I was ready ready to be seen, touched, claimed. I pulled back from his mouth, breathless, trembling in the best way.
“I’m ready to get burned,” I whispered again, this time without hesitation.
Vorian’s eyes locked on mine, sharp and penetrating. “Are you sure?” he asked, voice low and rough. “There’s no turning back. Once I’m inside you… you’re mine. And you don’t get to change your mind.”
Instead of answering, I stood and took his hand, silently leading him through the snow-dusted woods toward my cabin. Not a single word passed between us as thick flakes drifted from the sky, layering our hair in white. The silence wasn’t awkward it was charged. Sacred.
