Chapter 15

The horizon loomed before Rhia like a beautiful mirage. Red, orange and pink hues streaked across the sky as light fought to banish the darkness. Having spent so much time in the dark lands, she found she needed to blink a few times to let her eyes adjust to the brightness. Drake’s arms held her cocooned against his chest as he carried her towards the Avalorian border, making her feel safe—cherished even.

“It’s beautiful.” More than tired, she sounded downright feeble. Try as she might, she couldn’t recall the last few hours. They must have won the fight with the beasts, otherwise they wouldn’t be flying into Avalore now.

Her heart pounded as she realized the other men—her brothers—were not with them. “Where are Evan and the others? Are they still fighting?” Her whole body stiffened. “Are they…” She couldn’t finish the sentence.

“Everyone is travelling into Avalore now.” He pushed a lock of hair away from her eyes with a gentle finger. “I’m taking you to a secure location.”

Drake’s arms tightened around her and he sought her gaze. “I’m going to have to give you some energy. It’s going to feel…” He took a deep breath and tried again. “Your body…”

Was he blushing? “What’s it going to do, Drake?” She had a sinking feeling she knew what would happen.

“Your body is going to respond to the exchange.” His husky voice caressed her mind. “In a sensual way.” His body tensed as though he anticipated rejection.

“It’s okay. I’ve done it before, and it’s never affected me like that. I mean, we even did that together in New York, remember?”

“This is different. What I must give you is different. If we were family it would be like any other exchange, but we’re not. I can’t use what’s around us, and even if I could, there wouldn’t be enough to sustain you.” His Adam’s apple bobbed. “What I’m giving you is a part of me. My life’s essence will become yours.”

Did she want to go down this road again? The last time they’d kissed ended in disaster. The incessant shivers coursing through her weren’t because she was cold, it was the complete depletion of her energy making her quiver. What choice did they have? They were both adults. They could resist temptation long enough for her to get what she needed. Besides, she could barely keep her eyes open, much less do anything else.

When she didn’t respond, he continued. “I’m going to go slow. If you feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed, we’ll stop, just give me the word.”

“Okay.” She took a deep breath, or at least she tried.

She was aware the moment Drake started the slow infusion into her body. The warmth spread from his chest into hers, leaving her breathless. She sought his gaze as his deep moan reached her ears, finding him with eyes closed and his head tilted back. She cleared her throat. “Will this affect you in the same way?” Somehow speaking the words aloud helped give her the bit of distance she needed.
