Sliding her hands to grip his collar, she looked fiercely into his eyes. "Malakai, if I stay, do you promise not to entertain any other woman while you are with me? You see, I have discovered a tendency within myself. I do not like sharing. I am prone to destroying things to smithereens, including that little camp of yours, should I ever spot them around you again or catch you lying about them."
Her eyes blazed golden as she stared at him, and he found himself drawn to their fire once more. "So, what is it going to be?" she asked, reading his every move.
Then, for the first time in his entire existence, a breathtaking smile bloomed across Malakai's face, stunning her where she stood. He tightened his hold around her and whispered, "I promise, Solaira."
Upon hearing his sincere vow, she finally offered a soft smile of her own. They sealed the promise with another heated, heartfelt kiss, locking the vow within their hearts.
Thus began the story of the divine maiden and her warrior.
