Chapter Eleven

“Anytime you’re ready.” The therapist stepped out of the way.

Moment of truth. Solia had bristled at ten days of therapy restriction, limiting her to repetitive strengthening and flexibility exercises. She’d wanted to spread her wings and fly! Now that she had the go-ahead, fear slithered through her. What if her wings didn’t work? What if she couldn’t lift off? What if she couldn’t stay aloft?

Arms folded, Guy leaned against the wall, a picture of relaxation and confidence. As he had every day after her first therapy session, he’d come to watch her progress and offer encouragement. He buoyed her when the arduous, sometimes painful therapy caused her spirits to flag. Not having a guarantee was hell, but the therapist pushed her harder and longer with each session, and she’d grown a lot stronger.

Now she would find out if the pain and hard work had been worth it.

Guy pushed away from the wall and flashed a thumbs-up.

Solia inhaled a deep breath. I can do this.

Crouching, she unfolded her wings and leaped. Contracting her dorsal muscles, she brought her wings downward in a strong stroke, forcing a draft over the top, which increased the pressure underneath. She lifted off the ground.

I’m doing it! I’m doing it! Another downward stroke, and another, and she became airborne. The flowing breeze caressed her face like a familiar lover’s kiss. Oh, how she’d missed this! Flapping, she glided around the therapy gym. Who needed air? She could soar on euphoria alone. She climbed to the dome ceiling then swooped low on a rush of air and emotion.

“I’m flying! I’m flying!” She laughed as tears coursed down her cheeks.

“You are, sweetheart, you are!” Guy applauded.

Round and round the gym she went. Muscles in her back contracted and released. Wings moved up and down. Giggling, she buzzed her therapist, who ducked then she flew high and circled.

Euphoric, she flew a lazy figure eight then glided to ground level, settled on her feet then leaped into the air again because she could.

She flew for fifteen minutes before her therapist waved at her to end her flight session. Her first time airborne since the capture and attack, she considered ignoring him, but fatigue had begun to set in, so she landed and folded her wings like a good little patient. She skipped to Guy. “I did it! I did it!”

“You sure did!” He caught her as she bounded into his arms, and he swung her around. Laughing, they twirled together in a dance of shared joy. His hands gripped her waist, holding her against his solid, muscular rock-hard body. Warm, masculine musk filled her senses and created an unexpected pang. Their gazes locked. His eyes beamed with happiness for her, but as they stared at one another, the emotion turned heated. Abruptly, he set her on her feet and stepped away.

His gentle smile lessened the sting. “You flew like an angel,” he said. “I’m so very, very happy for you, sweetheart.”

An odd awkwardness hovered on the air, but it couldn’t dampen her relief and joy.
