Chapter 17

Kai walked into the open area of the cabin to find Alvena sitting on the sofa staring at the cold fireplace. She had a far off look in her eyes and didn’t seem to realize that he was in the room. So, he stopped and leaned against the wall at the end of the hallway and just watched her. So far she had handled everything thrown at her, but would she continue to do so when he had no information on her friends and informed her that they were going to head to Colorado?

Alvena sighed and looked towards the door.

What could she be thinking? Was she wanting to leave him, did she already decide that she did not want to be his mate?

“Alvena?” Kai whispered. Still unsure about talking to her about everything Dar had told him. She jumped off the sofa and stood looking at him.

“Kai. You startled me; I didn’t hear you come in to the room.” She said.

“Part of being Dásreach I guess. We walk quietly.” He replied. “I was able to reach Dar on the radio.”

“Oh.” She exhaled. “Did he have information on Nat and Rogue?”

“Nothing yet, but they’ve been watching and he is sure they are still safe.” Kai replied as he approached the fireplace. “Would you like a fire?”

“It’s not all that cold, so we probably don’t need one.” She replied.

Kai bent down and began clearing out the fireplace and setting it up to start a fire. It gave him something to do as a distraction from the beautiful woman behind him. He wanted to grab her in his arms and kiss her senseless, but knew that this wasn’t the time.

“Kai, do you think we need a fire? It’s not all that cold.” Alvena insisted.

“Lass, as the sun sets you might get chilled and the fire will take the chill off. Besides, it’s kind of relaxing.” Kai answered as he stacked the wood in the fireplace. “I can wait awhile before lighting it, if you want, but I’ll just get it ready now.”

“I see what you mean and I think it would be best to wait. But, why don’t you sit and tell me what you found out from your friend?” Alvena patted the sofa seat next to her.

Kai stood up from the fireplace. He took a deep breath and went to sit at the far end of the sofa. There was no way he would be able to keep his hands to himself if he sat any closer to Alvena. Her scent was already everywhere in the cabin. As he passed her to take his seat, the flowers and spicy cinnamon scent of her reached out and tried to tug him down beside her. It took everything in him to resist. His hands felt out of place. He didn’t know where to place them, so he moved them from one place to another while attempting to get comfortable. He placed his arms along the back of the sofa and could almost touch her shoulder, so he moved them down at his sides, but that felt odd.
