Bab 39: I'm going to run away

"Riley," she murmured against my skin, her voice a blend of hunger and tenderness. "You are mine."

Her words resonated deep within me, a truth I couldn't deny. I was hers, just as she was mine, bound together by a love that transcended the darkness. I could feel her pull away slightly, her eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that took my breath away.

Seraphine's lips hovered inches from mine, her gaze searching my face as if seeking confirmation. Without a word, she leaned in, capturing my lips in a kiss that was slow and deep, a final expression of the connection we had forged.

Her hands gently cradled my face, the kiss softening until it was just a whisper of contact. I felt the heat of her breath against my skin, her presence both soothing and intoxicating.
