Straight toward Aria.
Fast enough she barely had time to look up from the notebook before his hands were suddenly on her face and his mouth crashed against hers hard enough it almost looked violent.
Desperate.
Relieved.
The kind of kiss that came after believing someone was dead.
Aria made a small startled sound against his mouth before immediately kissing him back just as fiercely, one hand grabbing his shirt while Kara surged so hard beneath her skin the lights flickered briefly.
And f**k—
I felt the relief hit Alaric through the room itself.
Like the entire f*****g dungeon could breathe again now that he had her in his hands.
Blood covered the floor.
Noah was literally nailed to a table behind them.
Neither of them gave a single f**k.
And I wanted to do that too. Pretty sure
