SOHVEN
HE’S ASLEEP, his body full of loose-limbed elegance, while an
uncharacteristically innocent expression graces his familiar face. He looks
fragile enough to break. I let the tips of my talons press against my thigh,
just enough to feel a prick of pain, and then I draw my hand back.
Any little thing could’ve broken him down there, my Jace.
I could’ve even been the one to do it, oh so easily.
We’re safe aboard one of S’ahveki’s many ships. I don’t bother to
memorize the names of most, they change so frequently, but this one I
remember—the Medway Queen, one of our captain’s favorites. The walls
are a sickly green color in my cabin, nothing like the vibrant shades of the
forest where we were forced to survive after the crash. It’s been long
enough that I should no longer feel this aching tightness in my chest when I
watch him. I shouldn’t be awake now at all, much less staring at this man
whose smooth, defenseless hands have the power to rend my edvah, my
essence—my soul, as humans would call it, into a thousand bleeding pieces.
Jace Cesari holds my fate in those nimble hands, yet he’s still so
agonizingly vulnerable. I should be able to sleep now that we’re secure,
away from the threats of an uncharted planet, but I can’t. He may claim he
has his memories back, but our ordeal left its mark, and so I watch him
when the ship’s clock tells me it’s night, and I plot ways to protect him, this
brittle human vessel that houses my beloved one.
If I learned one thing on Sannaveh-8B, it’s exactly how strongly he
holds me in his grip. He came back to me—he made himself mine all over
again—yet I can’t stop this compulsion. I can’t take my eyes off him. If I
look away, if I slip just a little, my fear promises me that I’ll lose him. My
Jace, my life mate, my fate.
He shifts, rolling to his side, and the sleeping pants he wears catch on
the bedding, revealing more of his warm-hued body. My mouth waters as I
imagine tasting him there, licking across his sensitive human skin until he
curses my name, raspy and rough, even as he demands more. I want him to
demand all of me. I want to know that he’s mine now no matter what tries
to separate us, even if it’s his own mind. What I want is impossible, and if
something doesn’t change, I fear this relentless drive will lead to madness.
I lift my wings up and back so they’ll drag as little as possible against
the ship’s floor, and I join him, fitting my body beside his on the bed. I slip
my arms around him and urge him closer, my movements careful and light.
Even in his sleep, his return embrace is powerful and sure. In reality, he’s
no breakable civilian who craves protection. He doesn’t need it—and he
certainly doesn’t want it.
