Blood Magic (After Dark Book 7), Sarah Bailey [spanish books to read .TXT] 📗

she was high on magic, but this was different. Magic was killing her. He didn’t feel right about biting her, but his urges got the better of him.

“Dani, I want you so much. I’m so sorry. I love you. Please don’t leave me.”

“Bi…te… me.”

When she said that, he couldn’t hold back. Her body wasn’t convulsing as violently as it had been when he’d first got to her. He hoped it was working. Turning her head to the side, he buried his fangs in her neck. Her blood and the magic within it tasted so sweet. She moaned again. One of her hands slid around his back.

“I… love… you.”

He didn’t take too much. Her blood was potent and he knew he could get lost in it if he wasn’t careful. Dani’s hand on his back reassured him she was getting better. Now, he just had to make her come. It should save her life. It had to work.

He pressed a hand in between them and touched her core. She bucked against him, her body trembling instead of convulsing.

“That’s it, Dani. Come for me, please. I need you. You can’t leave me.”

He circled her core harder, eliciting further moans. Staring down at his beautiful fae princess, her eyes wide and lust filled. He knew she was close. He fucked her harder, desperation in his movements. She wasn’t going to die. Not on his watch.

“Come for me.”

Her nails dug into his back the moment she let go. Magic seeped out of her, slamming into his chest, the force of it almost unbearable. She cried out, shaking and trembling in his hold. And he had to let go too. He grunted as wave after wave of magic assaulted him and his cock pulsed wildly inside Dani.

When her shaking stopped, she lay beneath him, barely moving at all. Her chest rose and fell, but Dani’s eyes were closed. He stroked her face.

“Dani,” he whispered. “Come back to me, please.”

He leant his forehead against hers. Had he done enough to save her life? Had he really brought her back from the brink? His chest tightened again. If he hadn’t, how would he go on without her? She’d become the single most important person in his life. He had nothing without Dani. The love of his life.

“I love you,” he told her. “I love you so much. I’m so sorry I wasn’t here to protect you. I should’ve been.”

Her eyelids fluttered open. She blinked several times. Her hand came up and cupped his cheek as tears flowed out of her eyes.

“Jamie.”

She tugged him down and kissed him. The relief he felt threatened to undo him completely. Dani was okay.

Fuck, I love this girl to death. My fae princess.

“I love you,” she whispered against his mouth.

He pulled away, staring down at her.

“I couldn’t let you go, Dani. Not now. Not ever.”

Chapter Twenty One

Dani couldn’t believe Jamie had turned up. That he’d known. She was sure their bond had saved her life. It meant everything to her. She’d been right to perform it. Deep in her soul, she knew Jamie was the one.

“You came for me.”

“Of course I did. I felt it. I felt you slipping away and when I searched for you in my heart, I knew exactly where to find you.”

“You saved my life.”

He stroked her hair back from her face.

“I’ll always save you, Dani. I love you.”

She smiled, pulling him down for another kiss. She felt bloated with all the magic inside her, but she was alive. He tugged her up into sitting position with him, allowing her to lean on his chest.

“What happened?”

“Questor, my father’s rival. He made me breathe a human, just as he did with my mother. I had to, Jamie. He had Novus and he was going to kill him if I didn’t.”

Jamie stroked her hair, clutching her closer.

“That fucking bastard. I’m going to bring you his fucking head.”

She couldn’t help smiling at that. Questor deserved it after what he’d done.

“I need to go to Hell first. Questor got to me before I could open the portal.”

Jamie pulled away, helping her back into her clothes before adjusting his own. He kissed the top of her head, clutching her close when they stood up together.

“I don’t know what I would’ve done if you’d died, Dani.”

She looked up at him.

“I’m here.”

Jamie’s phone rang. He pulled it out his pocket and answered it, putting it on speakerphone for Dani’s benefit.

“Hello?”

“Is Dani okay?” Neave asked without preamble.

“Yes, I got to her in time. Have you told Gav?”

“He’s pissed. Where’s Selene?”

“Fuck knows.”

Dani clutched him tighter. She didn’t know who they were talking about.

“This is bad, Jamie. Gavin wants to know what you did.”

He sighed, running a hand through Dani’s hair. She would have to ask him what was going on when he finished up on the phone with Neave.

“I know. I’ll tell him, but first, I’m helping Dani. Gav needs to tell the king that a fae called Questor tried to kill Dani and he has Novus, her brother. We’re going to Hell to stop this war. Selene can wait.”

Neave was silent for a long moment.

“Go now before he can stop you. I’ll tell him.”

“Thank you.”

“I’m just glad you’re getting your happy ever after, Jamie. You deserve it.”

She hung up. Jamie tucked his phone back in his pocket. Dani raised an eyebrow at him.

“Happy ever after?” she asked.

He grinned, tucking her hair behind her ear.

“Mmm, it’s not every day you get to run off into the sunset with your fairy princess.”

She shoved his chest.

“Don’t let anyone else catch you mentioning the word fairy. You
