make you so strong,
Liv.”
    “Oh Xane,” I whisper. “I do want you. I do feel everything
you are but they won’t understand. The rest of them, they won’t understand.”
    “I just care about us. Just let it be for us. You don’t need
anybody else. I love you.” He kisses me again but I pull away as I sense Cole
at the door. I step back as he comes in. “Are you finished?” he asks. “We
should get off this jet and to the hotel.”
    “Yes, of course. What time is it, anyway? I feel like we
have been gone for hours but probably haven’t really,” I say.
    “It’s two in the morning. We should get you in bed. You look
exhausted.”
    “I’m not that exhausted,” I say to him with a smile and I
sense Xane’s grimace.
    “Aefre. We do need to talk about what our future selves said
to us about that…thing,” CK says to me as we disembark.
    “We will. I promise. I just need to forget about everything
for a few hours. This has been one big mind-fuck.”
    “Well, I won’t argue with that. Do come and find me as soon
as you wake.”
    “What did they say to you?” Cole asks. “They told us they
couldn’t tell us anything. Except, well…” he trails off.
    “What did they say to you?” CK and I ask.
    Devon answers for him as he hesitates, “They said that their
Liv wouldn’t have brought them back to this time and, I quote, ‘that they
didn’t want to stay here and live out the next hundred years again. No fucking
way.’” I notice Cole look gratefully at him.
    “Hm,” I say.
    “What do you know?” he asks.
    “She said I need to get back to my rightful place, my
family. That too much damage has been done. Something is coming. I can feel
it.”
    “You said that yesterday," Cole says. “Do you think
this is the start of it?”
    “I don’t know. I don’t know how much damage we did by jumping
all over the time-space continuum.”
    We are greeted by Grayson at this point and Dawn who caught
the commercial flight back and somehow made it here before us.
    I snuggle up to Cole in the limo and fall asleep in his
arms.
     
     
    “Liv,” he says gently. “We’re here.”
    I reluctantly open my eyes and stretch. “Already?” I
complain.
    “I can carry you up if you’d like?” he says.
    “No, I think that will attract too much attention,” I reply
with a small smile as he helps me out. I cling to him as he does me, both of us
still feeling the loss of the other with all of this crazy time travel
business.
    Soon we are upstairs in our hotel suite and everybody is
settled and off doing their own thing.
    “I know you are tired,” Cole says to me, “but I need you
Liv. I am desperate for you. I thought I had lost you.”
    “You will never lose me,” I tell him with a big yawn.
    “I will do all the work. You just lie there,” he chuckles.
“Please, I need you.”
    “Well I’m not going to refuse an offer like that,” I say
with a snort. “Go ahead.” I lie back and he dives on me, kissing me all over,
sucking my nipples till they ache, nipping at me and gently clawing me into a
state of the utmost desire. “Oh yes,” I gasp. “Oh, Cole. I love you.”
    “I love you, Liv. I’m not going to leave you. Please don’t leave
me,” he whispers over and over again as he makes love to me so slowly. He
doesn’t ask for anything in return, just to please me and I let him, loving him
all the more.
    I fall into a fitful sleep, tossing and turning. I am half
awake, and that hasn’t happened to me since being held by Lance. I usually go
flat out, especially since becoming Queen. I eventually feel myself dropping
off.
    I am standing in the main kitchen at Castle Black. I am
looking through a cupboard for something and I feel different. Something feels
very, very odd with me.
    “There you are,” his voice says to me from the doorway
and I turn with a smile.
    “You’re back,” I say, moving towards him.
    “I hurried back for you, and for this one.” He smiles
back and places his hand
