And as her eyes fell closed again, she saw Sorin let go of his fire.
She felt his arms wrap around her as they fell.
And Sorin pulled them through a rip in the air.

“What are you doing?”
Razik glanced at her before he returned his attention to whatever he was looking at. It appeared to be a…bowl.
The thing was gold with various small gems of red, green, and blue inlaid along the rim. It sat atop a pedestal in the hall outside one of the dining rooms at the Siofra palace.
Razik’s arms were crossed, his head tilting as he studied the bowl. “This is very old. From before the Great War,” he answered.
“Fascinating,” she mumbled. But when Razik continued to stare at it, she narrowed her eyes. “Are you planning to steal this bowl?”
Sapphire eyes slid to her. “No.”
“Are you sure? You seem rather intrigued by it.”
“It is very valuable.”
Her eyes went wide. “You want to take it to your cave. You really have a cave, don’t you?”
“Why would I lie about that?”
“Who has an actual cave, Raz?”
His eyes seemed to darken at the nickname. “I told you, it’s a dragon thing.”
“Cassius doesn’t seem to need a cave,” she countered.
“He cannot shift fully into a dragon.”
“Does Tybalt have a cave?”
“Yes.”
Laughter bubbled from between her lips, and he turned to face her fully at the sound. Her mirth died out as he held her stare. Always so intense.
“You haven’t braided your hair yet,” he said.
Her brow furrowed. Her red-gold hair hung in sweeping curls, flowing over her shoulders. “I’ll braid it before we leave.” He just hummed, still watching her. “Are you ready to go?” she finally asked, turning away and beginning to walk down the hall.
He fell into step beside her. “I’ve been ready to go for a week now.”
So had she. They were leaving for the Fire Court today. They’d been waiting, and now they were finally going. She’d refilled his power reserves, then she’d needed the time to refill her own. They’d been in communications with the Witches, had been filled in on the rebel movements in the mortal lands being led by Juliette—and apparently Nuri—and now the Tyndell siblings, along with Callan and Azrael. They knew Scarlett and the others were going for the lock soon, so they’d waited. Everything needed to be timed perfectly, and with Rayner sending word that the lock had been retrieved yesterday, they could finally put their own plans into motion.
Despite Razik’s warning that they would discuss him sleeping in her bed, he hadn’t brought it up the next morning. Or the next, or the next. In fact, he hadn’t said one damn word about the bond. He’d continued to share her space and sleep in her bed, but he did not touch her when he climbed beneath the sheets. She knew on the mornings that she woke up nestled into his side, it had been her seeking him out in her sleep and not him initiating anything.
Which was just great.
But still, he said nothing, and she wasn’t about to bring it up. Even if she was finding herself watching him more over the top of her book when they’d retire to their sitting room in the evenings. Even if she found herself wondering where he was when she didn’t see him for a few hours.
Even if shelikedhaving him in her bed at nights.
