Excerpt
Sweet
lavender greeted Cole as he entered the solarium. Tiny bobbles glowed from
beneath the garden foliage, allowing the stars to wink through the wide
skylights in the ceiling. He scanned the dark sky and an all-to-familiar
longing for the five moons in his home realm returned. It was suddenly too dark
in Cornerstone Deep, too repressive—a reminder of the deceit this plane bred.
Dragging
his hand across his face, he released an uneasy breath. His father had been
taken by greed. Just as his own standards had diluted
to the point of performing acts that defiled ancient covenants. But if Sylis
Shilo, a born
Cole
lowered his gaze as justification shadowed his acts. We were deceived. You
had no right. The facts seethed in his blood. His father longed for his
wife. How many times had he influenced her feelings? And how much of her desire
was truly for Cole and not a result of emotional tampering?
His
stomach knotted. The senior wizard had even suggested the charm created for
Mianna. Unsigh. One heart—the ultimate sharing of passion. He had aided
in its creation and in Cole’s desire to please his new bride, he had embraced
the idea with his whole heart. I was a fool. It would have only made it
easier for the master to read the emotions she shared.
Cole
smoothed back his hair and paced a circle to expel anxiety. Surely, he would
have felt betrayal in his love’s heart if there was desire for another
man—especially when the spell joined their hearts…surely.
Adoration
flowed from behind him, touched his senses. Slender hands smoothed his shirt to
his waist and a soft form leaned to his back. His heart melted and he closed
his eyes. Mianna. Despite his attempt to avoid
an earlier meet, he couldn’t resist. He lifted his arm and turned to hold her
in his embrace. As she met his gaze, Mianna’s soul once again spoke to his as
none other had or would. Unrest fled. Doubt disappeared.
Her brow
wrinkled with worry. “You’ve been distant.”
He brushed
her long hair with a gentle stroke. “I’m sorry, my love.”
She
caressed his forehead with her fingertips, erasing the tension there.
“Hush
thy worries. Still thy mind.
For
within mine arms,
love’s sweet bliss will heal thy soul.
Cares
of life be gone.”
Cole
rested his cheek on her soft locks, allowing her poetic tongue to soothe him.
“Whispers,
wings of love’s caress,
light upon thy heart.
Gazes,
speak of my soul’s want.
Body,
sing their praise.”
She gently
placed her hand to his cheek, guiding him to look into her eyes.
“I long. I pray thee touch me.
Carry
forth my will.
Leave
behind the world, my love.
Be
this moment mine.”
Cole’s
heart wrapped around her plea and the reality of her return filled his being.
She was his. Now and forever. “This moment, my life,
my existence is yours.” He cradled her face with his hands. “Every breath you
take is a song to my soul.”
