Page 52 of Dark Master's Kiss
“Ariana.” Quinn spoke as a slow smile curled his lips. Nodding up the wrought-iron stairs, his dark eyes lit with a different kind of fire now. “Would you like to engage in High Treason with me, against both Vampires and Summer Fae? To create a better life for all of us?”
“Quindici DaPonti.” Ariana spoke as she moulded to his amazing body. “There is nothing more I would rather do.”
“Then let us go up.” He spoke with a devious smile now as his dark eyes burned. “And let us discuss our plan for tomorrow, and the tomorrow after that… and all the rest of our tomorrows.”
Pulling her close, Quinn kissed her with his incredible dark-bright power roaring – and Ariana reveled in him as she devoured him fiercely back. But as he kissed Ariana like he’d conquered the entire world, she felt a sudden darkness; with a gasp, she broke from Quinn, setting a hand to her chest. For they were missing someone in their revelry tonight, she understood with the deepest truth-reading part of her power.
Someone who was as much a part of this magic as they were.
As Ariana glanced up into Quinn’s dark eyes, he understood through their new bond. Reaching up, he cupped her face. “Call him.” Quinn spoke softly as he held Ariana’s gaze with a terrible, beautiful sadness. “Call to Lucca, inside your heart. For his fate is bound to ours as much as we are to each other, Ariana. I do not know where our road lies, but our destinies are intertwined and I know no power on heaven or earth can separate them. So call to Lucca… and tell him of our love. For we will not abandon him to the wrathful tyranny of his father. Not then, not now… and not ever.”
As a beautiful glow filled Ariana at Quinn’s words, she nodded. Closing her eyes and focusing on that moon-bright sensation in her chest, she sent a thought to Lucca with everything she had – praying for him to be strong. As a massive rush of magic poured from her, unfurling with tremendous rainbow-dark wings in the night, Ariana felt how her love burned silver and gold for Quinn and Lucca both. Breathing deep into her power, Ariana firmed her love like a lance.
And hurled it – straight to Lucca.
We sparked your revolution today, Lucca.She spoke in her mind as she cast her magic.We lit the match that sparks the flame, for you.
I know, Ariana Summers.Lucca’s voice suddenly whispered through her as his summer blue eyes flashed in her mind, blazing with love.And we shall see each other soon. I promise.
Shocked, Ariana’s eyes flew open as she stared at Quinn, wondering how Lucca had heard her and how on earth he’d responded. But Quinn smiled down at her with a luminous fire now, feeling her emotions through their new bond as his burning hands clasped her closer. Pressing a flood of strength though her, he urged her to simply accept this new surprise of magic as a blessing for whatever was to come. And as he leaned down, pressing his lips to hers, Ariana felt a tirade of his fire-dark magic rush all through her with his kiss.
Just as she felt a swirl of Lucca’s white-gold heat rush through her also – as her healing moon-bright passion flooded them all.
