After Thalos wrapped up the loose ends of their conversation, Ruvan swept Solenne out of the office and took her back to their chamber.
She sat on the edge of their bed with a contented smile, looking up at the Alpha with hooded eyes. Much to their disappointment, they hadn't been intimate since before he left on the Moonstone Marrow trip. Responsibilities and evil god possession threw a wrench in things.
Ruvan's gaze was passionate and all-consuming as they looked at each other, burning like wildfire with lust and affection. He leaned down to press his forehead against hers and inhaled deeply, enjoying her scent.
Solenne waited for the feeling of his lips pressed against hers, but even after a minute, it never came.
Puzzled, she whispered his name, "Ruvan?"
She could hear his heartbeat pick up at the sound of her voice. He moved back slightly to stare into her face again, and his features were soft with adoration.
