“Kiaran’s kiss is fierce, his breathing ragged. ‘Have I ever told you the vow a sìthiche makes when he pledges himself to another?â€� He slides his fingers down my neck and his lips are so soft against mine that I barely feel them. ‘Aoram dhuit,â€� he breathes. ‘I will worship thee.”

“Kiaran looks at me, so still and quiet. I brace myself for his words, unsure of what he’ll say. Terrified by what he’ll say. He doesn’t speak. Instead, he grasps me by the collar of my coat and presses his lips to mine. Kiaran kisses me deeply, with an urgency I never thought him capable of. He kisses me like he knows he’s going to die. He kisses me like the world is going to end.”
