Chapter One
Virgin Territory
Virgin Territory
Gentle fingertips grazed the edge
of her jaw, trailing down her neck to her collarbone. His citrine gaze stared
deeply into her eyes, and her body heated at his tender touch.
“You’re okay, yeah?” Thaene asked,
his voice hoarse from their lovemaking.
Am I okay? She hardly knew. Though
she had nothing to compare it to, this feeling was more than giving her
virginity to him. Quinn felt like something bigger inside had stirred to life,
wanting to escape.
“You know I love you. I’m sorry if
it hurt.” He kissed her again, his lips caressing hers, as if he could take the
ache away.
“Say something, Quinn. Please.”
“I love you, Thaene.” She pressed
herself into him, passionately returning his affection. As their kiss
continued, Quinn wondered if he wanted more. She also wondered if she had more
to give.
“I want us together, always. Do
you want that, Quinn?” Thaene’s eyes danced with a mixture of emotions—love,
passion, possessiveness, and something else she couldn’t name.
“We can have forever. You want
that, don’t you?” Thaene asked.
“Yes,” Quinn answered
breathlessly, before realizing what she’d agreed to. She smiled, finding his
need for her exciting.
“Forever is a long time. But I
could do it with you.”
Thaene smiled back. Happiness lit
his face. He looked like he’d just won a major prize—he looked triumphant.
“Being with you on your
twenty-second birthday was very special to me. You’ve given me such a precious
gift.”
“I love you. I can’t imagine my
first time with anyone else.”
Besides, my gift of Sight showed
you to me, over and over. How could I not give myself to you?
Her gift had shown her something
else as well. Since she didn’t understand it, Quinn ignored it. She’d followed
her heart where Thaene was concerned. Not even her mother’s dislike—or in spite
of it— changed her mind. Following your heart always led you down the right
path.
Thaene lightly brushed her hair
from her face, then he rested his forehead on hers.
“There’s something else I’d like
you to give me. Will you do that? Give me what I desire the most?”
The longing in his voice made
Quinn squirm underneath him. Right now, she’d give him anything.
“It’s the most precious gift of
all. One I’ll cherish forever.”
Oh my God. He wants to marry me.
“Yes,” Quinn said, drawing in a
breath. “I’ll give you anything.”
“Good.” Thaene nuzzled her neck.
“I want you to show me your Magyk.”
“What?” Quinn blinked at him,
wondering if she’d heard him right.
“If you want us to have forever,
you must show me your Magyk.”
