Aaron returned to Sallyan Castle shortly before dawn. He rubbed his swollen lips, an indescribable expression on his face.
Shar, you kissed far too hard!
The Goddess of Night's purple-red lips truly could erode Aaron's soul. Through the most primitive, simplest form of mortal intimacy, Shar's kiss had nearly made him forget who he was. He felt as though she would suck his brains dry.
A goddess's kiss was not something an ordinary person could withstand.
