Etiquette of the Cruel (The Damned #1)

Epilogue

CEZAR

The room was quiet. We lay tangled together, holding on with the same desperation we’d spent so long fighting, content to stay lost in each other a little longer.

Adelina’s hands grew stiff, and I could feel her heart beating faster. “Cezar… I… k-killed your father.”

“I guess we’re even now.” I fidgeted with her hair.

She pulled away, loosening her grip on me, staring into my eyes with a blank expression.

Then pain exploded from my nipple.

“Ow, fuck!” I jerked away.

Her glare could have started another war.

Laughing, I pulled her back against me before she could escape.

“You are terrible.”

She melted into my hold, smiling.

“We are terrible, my love.”
