Capítulo 211: Jak is Back

ELIA

She woke to a gentle hand pulling her hair away from her neck, and warm lips on her skin.

"What time is it?" She had to blink to be sure she was awake. It was still pitch black in the cave.

"Behryn will be here any minute. We're going to find the Bears. I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye," Reth's voice rumbled in his chest against her back. She stretched and he hummed, thumbing her nipple.

"Are you sure you have to go now?" she asked, turning over in his arms to kiss him.

He sighed. "Yes. Give me a kiss, love, and I'll see you as soon as I can."

She sank into his chest and he pulled her in, his breath fluttering in her hair. "Please come back safely, Reth," she murmured into his chest.

"Please stay in the cave and under guard today, Elia," he said, his voice heavy.

"I will. I vow to you, Reth. I won't do anything risky. At all. Is Behryn going with you, or staying here?"
