Chapter Six
His lids lowered, Indigo gently stroked her head. Masculine satisfaction filled him. Avril looked like a well–loved woman.
She snuggled against him, resting in the crook of his arm. Silky blond hair cascaded over his bare chest, just as it had in forbidden dreams.
“I wish I could stay here.”
“Your wish is my command.” He nodded at the Anastasia charm lying on the nightstand. “Go on, use it.”
“I can’t. It’s for the clan’s use to fulfill important dreams. The clan needs it more than I do.”
“And what about your dreams, Avril?”
Indigo rolled over and captured the amulet in his hands. “You can make one wish come true. One dream. Wish something for yourself. Your whole life, you’ve always done everything expected of you.”
“Not true. I break the rules as I wish, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else,” she said thickly. “You didn’t deserve what happened when we were found together. I can’t hurt you like that again.”
He set down the charm and cupped her heart–shaped face, hating the shadows of worry beneath her eyes.
“Chère, I can take care of myself. You have to do what’s right for you. Go after your dreams, and stop worrying about everyone else’s needs.”
Moonlight streaming through the window silvered her worried expression. She wrapped her fingers around his wrists, as if anchoring herself to him. He nearly groaned as those slender digits began stroking his skin. “I can’t stop thinking about your needs, and how I let you go.”
“Not your fault. Daddy dearest banished me.”
“My father did it because he worried I might mate you. If I had been more discreet, you would still be with us.”
“Secret was never good enough for me,” he muttered, running his thumbs in circles over her hollowed cheeks. “I wanted you at my side, proud to be with me.”
Avril’s long dark lashes lowered. “Return with me, Indigo. Please, we can be together if you live close to me.”
“In the open, or hiding what we feel?”
The answer came in her deep, anguished sigh.
Indigo withdrew his hands. “If you would have me, it’d have to be honest, for all to see. I wouldn’t want you hiding my bite from the world, as if my marking you was a cause of shame.”
“I could never be ashamed of you.”
“But if you had to choose between the clan and me? I live as Draicon now, Avril. Werewolf. The vampire world and its rules are far behind me.”
She sat up, the sheet spilling to her waist, exposing her full, pale breasts. “I can’t give up my clan, Indigo, my way of life.”
“If Xavier sees my mark, you may not have a choice.”
“Oh.” Avril put a hand to her neck and then put on the velvet band to hide it.
Torment swirled in her lovely eyes. Indigo’s guts twisted. He hated to see her upset. Even though that look signaled a crashing end to all they’d shared.
She would not risk giving up her clan for him.
“I’ll never be enough for you, will I, chère? Never enough to fill your life,” he asked in a low voice.
