It was unlikely Amelia would stay awake through a dry history lesson, so it was Gabriel’s idea to take her out to see Zavinia. Lady Nancy was hesitant, so Gabriel brought out his most persuasive arguments.

“No one here knows who she is—or who I am, for that matter. We won’t be recognized. Besides, she’ll rule over Zavinia one day; she should be familiar with the people here. And she’ll be able to practice her French.”

Amelia hid a yawn behind her hand, and Lady Nancy gave her a sharp look.

“And it’ll help us stay awake,” he added blandly.

Finally she relented. They would be able to transform to protect themselves if it came to that. He’d thought they were safe in America, where no one was supposed to know who they were or where. He would have to be vigilant. He wasn’t going to allow the woman he loved to be put in danger a second time.

For their outing, Amelia abandoned her formalwear and dressed in a dark blue sundress dotted with white flowers. The color made her hair seem redder, a burnished auburn that looked almost copper when the sun hit it just right, and her eyes as blue as the sky. His dragon gave a growl at the sight.

She’s the most perfect treasure ever, his dragon informed him, so you better not fuck everything up.

Never, Gabriel thought, his heart skipping a beat.

The sweetheart neckline dipped in the middle, just baring the tops of her breasts to Gabriel’s sight. It was nothing inappropriate in itself, but it made Gabriel’s cock twitch in his pants. He wanted to touch her again. They only made love the night before, but as wonderful and perfect as it had been, it hadn’t satisfied his need for her at all. If anything, he needed her now more than ever.

“Gabriel?” Amelia’s fingers snapped in front of his face.

Abruptly he realized he’d been daydreaming. She was waiting for him to answer . . . something. What?

“I didn’t hear you,” he said as smoothly as he could manage.

The corners of her mouth turned up in a smirk. “Yeah, I got that. Are you ready to go?”

“I’m ready.”

She threw him a brilliant smile over her shoulder, which he returned. She shrugged on a white lacy cardigan that technically covered everything up but made him think of lingerie. It didn’t help that the garment left tantalizing glimpses of her skin underneath for his eyes to linger on.

Town was a good thirty minutes’ drive away. They didn’t use a driver—that would have attracted unwanted attention—so Gabriel drove himself in one of the plainer cars, and it offered the opportunity to relax for a little while and pretend they were normal. Just two ordinary lovers spending a beautiful afternoon with each other, no politics or complications in sight.

The fog they had seen that morning was gone, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the sun warmed the countryside. The local town did not boast a huge population, but all the basic necessities were here.
