CHAPTER 10

Pearl awoke feeling warm and content. A dim glow filled the storage building, coming from the roof overhead. She decided it must be day time even though she couldn’t see anything except for the heavy mass of white and she could still hear the storm roaring around the building.

They had shifted position while she was asleep and she was on her side, her head pillowed on Callum’s arm and his body wrapped around her from behind. His arm was a heavy weight across her ribs, tucked beneath her breasts, but the position didn’t bother her.

William never held her while she slept and it triggered no unpleasant memories. Even the fact that she could feel Callum’s massive erection tucked against her ass didn’t frighten her. As far as she could tell, he seemed to be almost constantly erect, but he had never shown any indication that his obvious desire would overrule his control.

Was that part of the discipline he learned as a soldier, she wondered, then fought back a smile. Somehow she didn’t believe that military training involved learning how to control an unruly cock.

But as comfortable as she was, her bladder indicated it was time to get up. The thought of another trip through the cold warehouse didn’t thrill her, but she reluctantly started to wiggle her way out of his embrace. As soon as she started to move, he jerked awake, rolling her over on her back and looming over her. She immediately panicked, her bones turning to water as she tried to suppress the instinctive urge to struggle.

“No,” she gasped.

His eyes widened and he immediately rolled away, a rush of cold air replacing the warmth of his body and she shivered.

“Gods forgive me,” he muttered, and the horror on his face reassured her.

“It wasn’t your fault that I reacted like that.”

He growled and she almost flinched, but his anger was clearly not directed at her.

“I find it intolerable that any female should be afraid.” He gave her an apologetic look. “I promise I will not hurt you.”

The momentary panic had eased enough that she gave him a tremulous smile. “I know. You really don’t have to keep telling me – it’s just that sometimes my body forgets.”

She could still see the anger on his face.

“Do you remember that I said last night that using our horns in combat is a primitive instinct? I would gladly have used them on that bastard of a husband.”

A startled laugh escaped her lips, and the last of her tension disappeared.

“I have an uneasy feeling that I wouldn’t have objected.”

His face finally lightened, and she smiled at him before reaching for her boots.

“Now if you’ll excuse me for a moment.”

He didn’t ask any questions but rose to his feet. Her heart ached a little as she saw how slowly and carefully he moved, obviously determined not to frighten her. Despite her protests, he insisted on carrying the bucket of simmering water to the facility for her. Because it had been on the stove longer, it was warm enough that she took the opportunity for a quick sponge bath.
