"Aro," I whined, his body crushing me in a delightful way. His hands searched my body. "Kiss me."
Lips found mine. "You mean the world to me, Sulpicia." I managed to decipher the words just in time for me to respond. Even with newborn senses, I found it hard to think when Aro touched me.
My skin started to tingle. "As do you."
"Aro!" Caius barked from behind the door, ruining our one short moment together. "Stop fawning over your mate and get out here! It's almost time to attend to...things." Things? What was more important than me?
My husband must've seen how I reacted. "I'll be back," he promised, inhaling my scent, and caressing my shiny, black locks. He gave me a quick peck before leaving me.
I sighed. This was how it always was, and how it always would be.
Power before love.
