Chapter 117 Telling Them

• Dolton POV
• As our bodies still, the room is filled only with the sound of our ragged breaths. I start to pull away, but her arms tighten around me, her voice barely above a whisper. “Not yet. Stay with me. I need to feel you.”
• I press a tender kiss to her lips, holding her close as I cradle her against me. I wasn't moving, far, I couldn't anyway with the knot keeping us together. Her breathing slows, her body relaxing fully against mine as exhaustion claims her once more. I stroke her hair, my heart pounding in sync with hers, knowing that no matter what darkness or danger lies ahead, this moment belongs to us. In this embrace, we are untouchable, bound by love and the promise of forever.
