CHAPTER 128 : MARK ME… AGAIN

*Lena*

“I am coming back,” he said, his voice a whisper.

I swallowed, nodding my head and looking down at the ground.

“Lena.”

“Yeah?” I looked up at him, unable to stop the tears from welling in my eyes. One tear spilled over and trailed down my cheek.

Xander stepped toward me, then knelt before me. He reached up and used his thumb to wipe the tear from my cheek. “This isn’t forever. I’ll come back for you.”

“We’ve said that to each other so many times–”

“And this is the last time, I promise.” He took my hands in his, knitting his fingers around mine. “I promise.”

“What–”

“I don’t know what we’re going to do, or where we’re going to live. But I need to return to Egoren to find that out. It’s going to be okay. We made it through this. We can make it through anything.”

He rose on his knees and wrapped his arms around me. I knew it hurt him to do so; I could feel the way his muscles strained and then trembled around me.

“Xander,” I said into his shoulder. I could feel the welts beneath his shirt as I ran my hands down his back. “You’re hurting–”

“I’m fine,” he replied, one of his hands running up the length of my back and into my hair, which was tousled from sleep. He pulled my head back so I was looking into his eyes. They darkened, a flash of need passing behind them that set a fire burning through my stomach.

He kissed me gently at first, his lips brushing against mine.

“I can give you my blood,” I whispered against his lips.

“I need a lot more of you than that,” he growled, and I felt my body go limp in his arms. His tongue parted my lips, tangling with mine as his grip on my body strengthened. He pulled me into him, almost pulling me off of the cot in the process.

Primal desire took over. I couldn’t remember the last time we were truly alone together. He had me out of my clothes before I could blink, and then he rose to his full height to shed his own.
