Chapter 77 : The Witch That Became a Luna
*Jared*
I thrust into Eliza, holding her tightly in my arms.
She shuddered and trembled around me, her inner walls tightening against my c**k.
Groaning, I pressed my forehead to hers, our breath mixing together.
My heart swelled with all my love for her. It overwhelmed me. My c**k trembled and I tensed, releasing into her.
Breathing heavily, I clung to Eliza.
She melted against me, nuzzling my chest.
I felt so close to her and like all the love I felt for her, the love I'd tried to deny myself, wrapped around us protectively.
It wasn't enough to protect us from the curse, though.
Sighing, I snuggled up with her. Eliza's breathing evened out quickly as she fell asleep.
I cradled her against me, running my fingers through her hair and stroking her arm.
The fire slowly burned out and I could hear the wind and rain letting up. The storm had almost passed.
Or had it?
There was still this curse hanging over our heads.
Tilting my head down, I looked at Eliza's sleeping figure. She looked so peaceful and relaxed.
Smirking, I kissed the top of her head. At least I'd kept my promise to help her relax and forget about the storm outside.
I ran my fingers down Eliza's arm, seeing the emerald-colored veins creeping up from her wrist, where the Cryptex had infected her… or cursed her.
My shadow shifted, ravenous and restless, tired of slumbering for so many years. It was ready to devour me.
And soon, the shadow in Eliza would be ready to devour her, too.
I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't let Eliza succumb to the curse.
Sighing, I rested my cheek on her head and held her close. There was no way I'd see her hurt by the curse, or worse....
Even if I had to make my own dark deal, I would see her spared.
If it was the last thing I did....

Yawning, I opened my eyes and stretched.
Eliza was still draped over my chest. She murmured and squirmed as I moved around.
“Hey, sleepy, wake up, the storm has passed," I said. I kissed the top of her head and flexed my chest.
“No," she whined.
