50 Chapter 50 : The Returned

Raquel’s POV

“Raquel?” Regulus coughed, color filling his tanned cheeks as he turned over, hacking. The circle Marina had used had left a burn, arcane runes leaving a faded white scar over his chest, bisecting the ash-black line of the wyrm that curled around his body. “How—”

“You stupid, impossible, absolute FUCKING idiot!” I grabbed him by his neck, kissing him deeply. Regulus made a squawk of confusion against my lips, grabbing me by the shoulders, I think to stop me. I was having none of that. I swiped my tongue across his bottom lip and he parted out of shock. It was all I needed.

I climbed into his lap, tilting him into the kiss, fingers nestled in his hair. It felt right when he finally let go, let his eyes drift shut, and just embraced this moment. His hands curved around my ass, then slid up my waist to pull me in, one hand cupping the back of my head as he sucked on my tongue.

Fuck, he was good at kissing. Real good.
