CHAPTER 376
~Ryland's POV~
Spending two days with Tempest was exactly what I needed. Two perfect days of nothing but her.
We barely left the apartment, only stepping outside to get fresh air before rushing back in, tangled in each other.
We made love like we were making up for lost time and trying to burn every part of ourselves into each other's skin.
When we weren't tangled in sheets, we were talking—about our childhood, the stupid things we did as teens, the times we almost met but didn't. She laughed at my stories, and I soaked in every sound.
Tempest was mine, and I loved her more than anything.
Now, though, it was time to take her back to Snow's mansion, as promised.
Tempest pouted slightly as I handed her a travel mug of coffee before we left the apartment. "I don't want to go."
