CHAPTER ELEVEN

Whoever had coined the term bliss must have felt something like what Derek was feeling right now. Sandra felt damn perfect in his arms, and he’d be content to stay in bed with her for the rest of the month. Possibly the year, if they took snack breaks. But when he let her go to take off the condom, she rolled right over and sat up, looking around for her top. It would be a crime to cover up breasts as beautiful as hers. She couldn’t read his mind because she pulled the shirt right on without an ounce of mercy. At least it was his shirt. It pulled tightly over her breasts and hung low over her naked hips. When she pulled on the sweats that he’d loaned her, he almost wept.

Never mind that, he’d just need to ensure she was in his bed again. He’d move heaven and earth to make it happen.

She shivered and looked over at him, “Are you planning on…” she trailed off, searching for the correct word before continuing, “Conquering the world soon?”

Derek lay down against the bed, only inches away from where she had just stood up, “Why?”

She tapped her temple with two fingers, “You feel very determined.”

He grinned and reached for her hand, she didn’t resist, but she didn’t grin back. “I don’t need to conquer the world.” Only you. Thank God she couldn’t read him, he’d be composing sonnets at any moment. He hadn’t been in love in the longest time, and it had never felt like this before. He wanted to fly off the roof.

But Sandra remained serious. “I can’t joke, Derek. Ruth could be here any moment and we just waste—” she cut herself off. “If you got hurt because I put my own desire above my duty, I won’t forgive myself.” Tears gathered in her amber eyes, but they didn’t fall. He knew that Sandra wouldn’t allow herself the weakness, not while she was in battle mode.

And if they were in battle mode, they couldn’t stay in his room all day, no matter how much he wanted to. He sprang up from the bed and turned to her. “We need some food and a plan. How does that sound?”

She took a deep breath and nodded. “Give me ten minutes to clean myself up.”

Derek left her to it, scooping up his own sweats on his way out and putting them on. She didn’t know it, but his scent was embedded in her flesh, just as she was skin deep in him. They’d remain that way as long as they were lovers. If they turned out to be mates, that bond would sink even deeper, connecting them on a spiritual level.

It wouldn’t be like what Sandra could do now; they would not be able to read each other’s thoughts. But they’d have an innate knowledge of where the other was, what they felt, and if they were in danger. When he’d been a child and first learned about the bond, Derek had thought it sounded like a huge invasion of his privacy.
