Chapter Five

Bells tolled loudly, rising Hailey from her deep slumber. A warm arm gripped her tighter, and she nuzzled closer to Jerico. Her body hummed euphorically. Last night—and early this morning had been fantastic.

Desire blossomed in her belly and heat pulsed between her legs. How many times could she make love to Jerico before she didn’t want him again? The answer was simple. There was no number. She could be with him every day until her last, and that still wouldn’t be enough.

The bells rung again, and she blinked her eyes open. Bells. Water. Oh God. She shot up and looked around the large bedroom.

“Jerico. The bells. They’re ringing,” she blurted in one breath. Did that mean she could try to reach out to her family.

“Get up. Get dressed hurry. We may not have much time,” Jerico explained.

“We can get to them?” she asked ecstatically. She’d dared to hope. Maybe they could rescue her family. She’d prayed to God—to anyone that there would be a way. This was her chance.

Hailey scurried from the bed and collected the turquoise dress she’d worn the day before and quickly slipped it back on. She slid her feet into the black moccasins and spun around pleased to see Jerico had made as much haste.

“I don’t know how much time we will have,” he began, taking her arm and quickly escorting her to the door. They broke into a steady jog. “If the portal closes… if the water rises, we won’t be able to get back through,” he warned.

“I know. I have to do this. I have to save them, Jerico,” she pleaded.

“If it were my family I would feel the same. Come I will help you.” Jerico tugged her faster, and they sprinted down the corridor and out into the bright sunlight.

She covered her eyes and blinked against the offensive light. Jerico continued their pace, seemingly unaffected by the brightness, and led her through the green gardens and out onto the cobblestone streets. It took a moment for her eyes to adjust and when they did she saw that they’d already run through part of the village.

Her lungs burned and her thighs and calves ached from their grueling pace. She didn’t care. They had to save her family. Sweat beaded on her brow as they tore through the city. She wheezed as she fought to control her breathing. Stopping wasn’t an option. She had to plow ahead.

Her family was depending on her. They wouldn’t let her down, and she wouldn’t fail them either. This may be the only chance she had to save them. She pushed herself harder, ran faster. Her breath came in uneven pants, but she didn’t care.

Jerico paused as they reached the city limits. He looked to both sides of the bridge, ensuring the water was away before he squeezed her hand and they sprinted across.

“You don’t have to come with me,” she rasped, fighting to draw air into her lungs.

“I’m not letting you go alone, Hailey. I can withstand the heat better than you.
