first. She simply stood in front of him, quietly waiting his decision.

Zacarias drew her into his arms and buried his face in the thick mass of her hair—the hair she’d left wild and messy just for him. How smal a

thing was it for him to al ow her to calm the animals, especial y if he was the one making them edgy and perhaps even dangerous?

“You shame me, Marguarita.”

No! She shook her head violently and stepped back to look him in the eyes again. Don’t do that. Don’t ever do that. You are my choice, just the way you are. I am not asking for changes. I will do whatever you wish.

She wasn’t asking anything of him for herself that he could see. In truth, she had asked for the life of a friend. He had saved the man because

she’d asked him to, but her motives weren’t selfish.

He gestured toward the stable. “Continue. And do not worry about the way you feel. It pleases me that when we are together you are aroused by

me.”

She smiled at him. I am aroused by the mere thought of you, Zacarias. I don’t have to be in your presence. That’s how pathetic and obsessed

I’ve become.

He frowned at her. “Not pathetic. I am pleased.”

Marguarita studied his face as if seeking something—reassurance perhaps. He was certain she didn’t want him going berserk and destroying

her horses in a jealous rage.

Again that sweet amusement slid into his mind. It never occurred to me that you would do such a thing.

There it was. Her naivete, her innocence didn’t al ow her the imagination to see the true depths of the monster she had tied herself to for al time.

He refused to lie to her. To look away from her. “I am quite capable of such an action given the right provocation.”

She frowned. What would that be?

He squared his shoulders. She had courage and she deserved truth. “Jealousy. A threat to me—to you. To us.”

There. It was out between them. The truth of what he was. Let her try to pretend she wasn’t appal ed, sickened even, wishing she could shun him

as the rest of the world did—and should. He watched her expressive and transparent face closely. At the same time, he held himself stil inside of

her, wanting to know every thought in her head.

Marguarita sighed and brought his hand to her mouth, kissing his scarred knuckles. You have a very skewed vision of who you are and what

you’re capable of, Zacarias. It’s a good thing I can see inside of you. I think you are deliberately trying to frighten me. Do I see that you are capable of great violence? Of course. I have access to your memories—all of them—even the ones you refuse to revisit. Are you capable of

murder? Killing for killing’s sake? No. Solidly no. Firmly no. All the arguing in the world won’t change what I know to be true.

He heard himself groan. He leaned his forehead tight against hers. “I have no idea what I am going to do with you, Marguarita.
