Chapter Six

“What the hell am I going to do?” Sahn paced the floor in his private study, Westa and Henry watched. “She hates me now. I made an ass of myself and she hates me.”

Henry spoke, “I am sure that she doesn’t hate you. She was just confused by whatever you did. Whatever that was.”

“I do not wish to say.” He continued pacing. How could he explain to his friend of centuries that he had found his perfect woman and taken her up against a wall like a common whore, then left her alone.

“Then stop whining and go to her and apologize. She needs to hear that you can admit to being an idiot. Stop walking out on her when the conversation doesn’t go your way.” Westa chipped in that piece of advice and took Henry’s hand as she spoke. “Honesty is always the best policy. Especially when you feel like an ass.”

The couple shared a nauseatingly romantic kiss that made him want to have Anora in his arms. Damn. He was being an idiot. He had a warm and caring woman who was slowly turning cold emotionally because of his actions and he was half a complex away talking with friends. “Excuse me. I have to go.”

As he swept from the room, he heard Henry mutter to Westa, “About fucking time.”

Tears were flowing from her as she sipped at her tea. It didn’t sooth her, but it gave her something to do while she ran the residue of the wishes through her head. She wanted to know how he was going to answer those desperate pleas. She would try to answer as many as she could herself when she got back to the city. If she ever got back to the city.

A lacey handkerchief was placed in her hand and she absently blotted at her face as an arm wrapped around her to pull her in next to a hard masculine body that was all too familiar. “I am sorry, Anora. I was an ass and I am so sorry.”

She sniffled and blew her nose. They were far beyond lady-like behaviour. That stopped at sex standing up. “Yes, you were. What got into you?”

“Frankly? You did.” He scooped her up and put her on his lap. He had an erection, but seemed uninterested in using it. “I may only have known you for a very short time, but I am in love with you, Anora. I have been since the moment I touched you after the accident.”

“How is that possible?” She was attracted to him, and trusted him more than any man she had met in a decade, but love? Was it likely that it was why his jealousy hurt so much?

“Elves mate for life, once they have found their perfect mate. I used lust to occupy my time, but all it brought me was confinement. I didn’t think I would ever meet a woman, let alone my perfect woman, and the royal decree almost guaranteed it.”

“The royal decree? They sentenced you to celibacy?” She rubbed her face against his shoulder and sighed deeply.
