Chapter Twenty

OVER THE NEXT few weeks, Ronan and Sidney spent lots of time working on how to deploy the transmitter and even more time making love and getting to know each other. Ronan was happier than she could ever remember being. But Sidney had yet to say that she loved her in return. Ronan tried to ignore the ache it caused in her heart and concentrated on the bliss of having her here, alive and in her arms. In any century, it was wonderful.

“What are you thinking about?” Sidney walked out onto the back porch and paused to plant a kiss on her temple.

Even though the morning was brisk, it was quite clear and sunny. The beautiful day made them decide to enjoy a morning outdoors rather than cooped up inside. Sidney carried a large pot of coffee and two mugs that she placed on the patio table. Ronan had just sat down after depositing their breakfast. Ronan realized she’d been very quiet this morning and from Sidney’s response, she was starting to pick up on it.

“Ronan,” Sidney started, sitting down beside her. “Is something wrong? I mean with us?”

Closing her eyes briefly, Ronan felt bad for making Sidney doubt her devotion. “I’m thinking about how soft and sweet your lips are.”

Sidney almost dropped the coffee pot and smiled as she sat it on the table. “You always manage to surprise me.” She reached over and squeezed Ronan’s hand before picking up her cup and taking a sip. “How did you sleep?”

“Wonderfully. I’ve never slept better in my life than I have for these past weeks.”

Ronan watched as Sidney reach down to pet a male Doberman. The dogs were very friendly toward her, taking to her right away. Ronan never would have expected such behavior for watchdogs, but they were clearly smitten.

“You know, I didn’t realize what a romantic you were when I met you.”

“There were a lot of things you never realized when you met me.”

“Too true.”

Ronan loved Sidney more than she ever thought possible, but their physical relationship couldn’t be explained by sentiment alone. They were almost desperate when they were intimate, each trying to gain as much sensation as they could during their encounters. She realized that part of that intensity stemmed from the threat they faced. Whether subconscious or not, being the only ones who knew about the Black Guard and the potential for disaster that loomed before them was a heavy burden to bear.

“So,” Sidney said. “What’s our next move?”

They had a distinct difference of opinion as to how to go about bringing down the potential start of The Neue Konservative Regime. Sidney insisted that Ronan wouldn’t be able to get close enough to these people to do any good without placing herself in extreme danger, but Ronan thought she could. It had been the source of some very heated discussions over the last few days.

“Sidney,” Ronan said, only to be interrupted.

“Hold on.” Sidney raised a hand. “Just hear me out, please. I’ve been thinking about it and I have an idea.
