‘Don’t drop ainst him a little more
‘Never’ There’s so much confidence and assurance in his voice ‘I have you You’re as secure as can be’
Oh, what the hell I wrap s completely around his hips and hook my feet across his butt
He tilts his body forward a little with a s across his face My cheeks flalide over the Pit I can’t see as well as I’d be able to if he had been holdingover his shoulder at his sweeping wings, I turn my head to see the landscape below That puts my face al city ahead of us, but my head is filled with the warainst ht look fros push against the air I’in to notice that he’s rubbing against s
The heat in the Pit is beco more intense The Sea of Hands below shifts andover each other
The rubbing is causing a war to the parts of ins to feel light My breathing comes faster
His breath speeds up to match mine, or maybe it’s the other way around Before I know it, he’s nuzzling his head against my cheek A lowainst hi me even closer to his warainstand touches his lips to mine His kiss is hot and wet as it intensifies
My head see Then I realize it’s the sky It’s thunder Suddenly, war us until we’re conores it and continues to kiss ether
We fly in each other’s aret back to the group, the Watchers have caught the rest of the hellions that we’ll need A dozen hellions are tied up on the ground, flapping around and trying to gnaw through the thongs that tie them
The Watchers eye us like they knoe’ve been up to As soon as we land, I hop off and step away frolad it’s so hot that I won’t have to explain why ets down to business He explains what needs to be done to ride a hellion out of the Pit and e ht find on the other side He doesn’t seem at all embarrassed that they assume we made out
He then talks to the hellions ‘Take us to the other side’ HePooky’s blade and uses his hand to show a sliding motion into the sky
A hellion hisses at him, all sharp teeth and hate
Cyclone steps forward ‘They need a firm hand, Commander’ He looms over the hellions ‘Do e tell you, or you die’ Hea yellow-green strea liquid that Cyclone barely avoids
The other hellions see to strangle them, but Raffe stops him
I step forward Let’s see how they respond if they’re treated like I would want to be in their place
‘Freedom,’ I say
