Chapter 265

RAMON’S POV

I leaned against the doorframe, my eyes tracing the curve of her figure as she stood near the balcony, her silhouette framed by the soft glow of moonlight. She had changed out of her ceremonial gown, her hair falling in loose waves over her shoulders. The simple, flowing robe she wore clung to her in a way that made my chest tighten

she turned her head slightly, catching me watching her. A faint smile played on her lips, the kind that always managed to disarm me.

“Are the twins settled?” she asked, her voice soft but teasing.

I nodded, pushing off the doorframe and stepping closer. “Ivy and Blane insisted on taking them for the night. Said something about us needing time to ourselves”

Her smile widened, and she turned fully to face me, her amber eyes glinting with mischief “How convenient.”

The tension between us was palpable, a magnetic pull that seemed to grow stronger with every step I took toward her. When I reached her. I didn’t hesitate to brush a strand of hair from her face, my fingers lingering against her cheek.

“You’re beautiful,” I murmured, my voice low and rough.

She tilted her head, leaning into my touch. “You’ve told me that before”

“And I’ll keep saying it,” I replied, my thumb tracing the line of her jaw. “Every day, if I have to

Her hands found their way to my chest, her fingers trailing over the fabric of my shirt. “You don’t have to,” she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of vulnerability. “But I like hearing it.”

I leaned down, my lips brushing against hers in a kiss that was slow and deliberate, a promise wrapped in tenderness. She sighed into me, her hands sliding up to wrap around my neck as I deepened the kiss.

The world outside faded away, leaving only the two of us. The heat of the past weeks, the battles, the uncertainty, all of it dissolved under the heat of her touch.

“Sonia,” I whispered against her lips, my hands slipping to her waist. “Tell me you’re mine.”

She pulled back just enough to meet my gaze, her eyes blazing with a fire that sent a jolt through me. “I’ve always been yours, Ramon. You know

that.”

The words ignited something primal in me. I scooped her up, her soft laugh breaking the quiet as I carried her to the bed. The room seemed to pulse with the energy between us, the air thick and clectric.

I laid her down gently, my body following hers as I hovered above her. Her fingers tangled in my hair, her touch both grounding and electrifying “Kamon” she murmured, her voice a soft plea that sent a shiver down my spine.

I kissed her again, slower this time, savoring every second. My hands roamed over her body, tracing the lines and curves I knew so well, rediscovering her as if for the first time.

The robe she wore slipped from her shoulders, pooling around her like liquid moonlight. My breath hitched at the sight of her, so effortlessly beautiful it was almost overwhelming.

“You’re stunning” I said, my voice thick with emotion.

She reached for me, her hands tugging at my shirt. “You talk too much,” she teased, though her voice trembled slightly.

I laughed softly, helping her pull the fabric over my head before returning my focus to her. The feel of her skin against mine was intoxicating, a reminder of jast how much I’d missed this–missed her.

The moments that followed were a blur of heat and softness, of whispered words and quiet gasps. I took my time, letting my hands and lips speak the truths, I couldn’t petit into words.

Sonia was my and her, my equal, my everything. And in this moment, hadn’t in years

“I love you,” I murmured against her skin, the words spilling out unbidden but entirely true.

She cupped my face, her eyes meeting mine. “And I love you. Always”
