章節 112: Withdrawal

Ileus' face became ruddy. When she stopped laughing, he said, "Mates are very rare in the Lore. I wasn't sure about our connection earlier, but after meeting you I am pretty certain that we are mates." 

Anastasia raised her hands to cup his cheeks. "I am aware of that Ileus." 

"You are?" he frowned with wide eyes. "How did—" 

"Kaizan explained it to me. I think Kaizan knows you better than you." 

A flash of surprise passed through his eyes. All his anxiety immediately gave way to something warm. He leaned forward and brushed a kiss on her lips. As if not satisfied with a light kiss, he deepened his kiss and delved into her mouth. He groaned, "Oh god, Anastasia!" Somehow he willed himself to stop kissing her. He was breathless when he left her. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, he said, "I want to take you to Draoidh with me. Will you come?" His heart felt… rested. 

Anastasia nodded as a warm smile spread on her lips.
