Chapter Six

Her skin felt soft. He trailed his fingertips over the smooth, gentle curve of her hip, tracing the languid path with his gaze. He’d dreamed about the velvet touch of Falynn’s skin for three years. Had lain awake every night in his bed, drawing forth the memory of her skin and its sublime perfection despite the tiny scars charting the journey of her training. He’d fantasized about pressing his lips to those scars, kissing away the pain of each until both he and Falynn became hot and wet with arousal.

His dimensional twin was back in his own temporal thread, returning to his rightful existence in an instantaneous tearing of time after giving Falynn a not-so-gentle kiss. And telling her with a sly, almost evil grin, “I’ll give your other your best.”

Just as arrogant and smug as he, Corvan of True Time, had been three years ago.

Corvan looked down at the woman beside him, reliving that moment again. Not ready to answer the questions he saw in her eyes, he’d gently removed Falynn from her chains and carried her to the bed, lowering her to the mattress with infinite care. She’d parted her lips, but he’d silenced her with a long, slow kiss. A kiss that had turned into an exploration of each other’s bodies, just as long and slow.

Now they lay stretched together on the bed, their stomachs and hips touching, their legs entwined, and it was all he could do not to roll her onto her back and make love to her again. But there were issues to be addressed first. Questions to be asked and answers to be given. Lifting his gaze to her face, he found her looking at him. Studying him with eyes that revealed nothing of her thoughts.

“Why did you disappear?”

Her question, while not unexpected, make Corvan’s chest tight. What should he tell her? What did she already know?

“Why didn’t you contact me?”

He smiled. Her second question was easier to answer. “To keep you alive.”

Falynn frowned. “That makes no sense.”

Brushing a loose strand of hair from her check, he gently touched her jaw before resting his hand on her shoulder, drawing small circles on her skin with the pad of his thumb. “It would if you understood the circumstances of Thanatos’ demise.”

Her jaw clenched and he saw familiar stubborn anger in its angle. “So tell me.”

“Are you going to attempt to complete your mission?”

His question brought a faint pink heat to her cheeks and he chuckled silently. Proserpina was skilled at deception and subterfuge, but not with him. No matter how hard she’d tried during her training, she’d never been able to control the delicate blush a direct unwanted question from him always created.

“No,” she answered, meeting his level gaze with her own. “I am not going to try to kill you.”

“And the other part of your mission?”

Her muscles stiffened for a moment before she shook her head. “No.” She paused for a second, studying him closely. “What is the weapon? Why does the GU want it back so badly?”

Corvan’s chest tightened again.
