Chapter Twelve

River was afraid to move, afraid to even breathe. Because it might very well disrupt the perfect rapture she’d found in Kyran’s arms.

As she rested on his chest with his arms wrapped securely around her, River almost pinched herself to make sure it was all real. But as she listened to his heartbeat, there was no denying the man—the Fae—who lay beneath her.

Had Aunt Maureen told her she would have sex with a Dark Fae and want it, River would’ve laughed at her. All those Dark she trained to kill to protect herself. She’d nearly killed Kyran that first night.

Well, that was a lie. She knew what she needed to do, but she’d been unable to do it. Even then, before she knew who Kyran was, she recognized something different about him. As if somewhere deep inside her she acknowledged he would help.

River drew in a deep breath. After all the generations of her family hunted and killed by the Dark, Kyran was going to stop it. He hadn’t just learned who was killing her family, but he was willing to end it.

Why? No one, not even Fae, did things for others without wanting something in return. Was Kyran different? There were the occasional people out there who did things for others out of the goodness of their hearts, but she wasn’t sure Kyran was one of them.

She thought back to their conversation about the Dark family who hunted hers. There had been something in his voice when he spoke of them. Almost as if he had a grudge against them himself.

Was that why he offered to help her? Because it would benefit him as well? What if it did? Why should she care? As long as she stopped being hunted, that was all that mattered.

“Does your mind ever stop?”

She couldn’t help but grin. “When I sleep.”

“I somehow doubt that.”

River was suddenly rolled onto her back with Kyran leaning over her. His red gaze searched hers. She smoothed his long black and silver hair back from his face. “There’s a fire between us.”

“Aye. I felt it from the beginning.”

Her hands lowered down his muscular arms then back up again to roam over his thick shoulders and hard sinew of his chest. “I’d ask something of you.”

“Name it.”

No hesitation, no reluctance. Was Kyran truly real or a figment of her imagination?

A slight frown marred his forehead. “River?”

“Tell me the truth. Always. No matter how much it might hurt me, I have to have honesty.”

He gave a nod. “I give you my vow. And expect the same from you.”

“I promise.” She licked her lips. “I … I’ve steered clear of relationships for years, and I’ve never had one with a Fae. How does this work?”

Kyran rolled onto his back, his gaze on the ceiling of the cavern. “I don’t know.”

River remained where she was. She glanced around the chamber to see a few candles in various places hanging in midair. The dim lights created a sensual atmosphere.

And it also allowed her to feel hidden.
