I froze for less than half a beat of my heart before I realized what was happening. Piper was kissing me. On the mouth. Every single thing she'd told me about this raced through my mind, and the full meaning of this moment slammed into me. Piper was sealing our bond with a kiss. She was fully committing to me, giving herself to me and me alone. And in doing so, she was breaking the blood oath.
The logical part of me said I should stop her, that I shouldn't accept what she was offering me, but this was Piper, and I was quite possibly the most selfish creature in the world. I couldn't deny her no matter if that was the right thing to do.
