She spread her arms and embraced him in her hug. He thawed instantly, wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his head into her stomach, hiding his face.
She stood there with her hands around his head for a few minutes until he confessed to her, "I want you, Karenina."
She remained silent, and he repeated again, "I said I want you, I need you, I can't live without you. Stop playing with my feelings and accept me as your mate."
He gets up and cupping her face, he softly said while his eyes were locked on hers. " I'll help you to get where you want. You can trust me, I'll do anything for you."
For a minute Karenina remained quiet before replying, "What about your oath to the temple? Are you going to break your celibacy ordination for me?"
"Yes. Yes, I'm willing to break my oath for you."
His reply shook her. She couldn't help but mention, "That will make you sinner in the eyes of the Moon goddess."
