Chapter 9

Curled on her side with intense warmth surrounding her, Ailith lifted her heavy eyelids. She blinked and forced the room to cease moving and her vision to clear. Embers glowed in the hearth and through the narrow window at the side of the bedchamber, the sky remained dark, although she sensed the rising sun was near.

“Go back to sleep.” Hunter’s deep murmur at her back rumbled past her ear, his arm heavy around her waist.

“’Tis almost dawn.” The sloshing of waves and the hoot of an owl drifted in from outside. She stretched, her belly rumbling with hunger. Giggling, she covered her middle, not that her hands helped to muffle the noise. “Ignore that.”

“I’m hungry too.” Hunter tipped her toward him and searched her gaze. “I love sleeping in the same bed as you.”

Smiling, she cupped his face and brushed her thumbs over both adorable dimples indented each side of his luscious lips. The enchanting lock of hair curling across his forehead drew her attention too, and she gently tucked it behind his ear, his big body radiating so much warmth. She leaned in closer for a morning kiss then grinned as he kissed her passionately.

He stroked her back, curved his hand over her bare bottom then lifted her leg and slid it between both of his legs, his crisp leg hairs tickling her sensitive flesh and their bodies aligned perfectly from head to toe. “Good morning,” he murmured, in a way that had her melting into him.

“Good morn to you too.” She stroked along his stubbly jaw and kissed him again, their next melding of lips bringing such content to her very soul. “It would be a dream to carry your cubs. I want you to know that, no matter what happens in the future.”

“It would be a dream to give you one, and I promise you, we’ll have a future together, a long and loving one.” He brushed his nose through her hair and nuzzled her neck.

“Ailith, ’tis Cairstine.” Her sister tapped at her mind along their telepathic link. “Dinnae get mad.”

“What are you doing here?” She and her sisters all held the same telepathic skill, but ’twas only possible for them to reach each other while in the same time, which meant Cherub must have returned beyond the veil to bring Cairstine through a portal, and all without warning her or taking her back to the past when she did. Aggravated, she muttered, “Cherub left without me?”

“Who are you speaking with?” Hunter searched her gaze.

“My sister. She’s here.”

“Cairstine or Lilias?”

“Cairstine. Give me a moment while I uncover more.” She focused again on her sister. “I needed to leave and Cherub should have warned me she was going.”

“You cannae leave yet. Have you forgotten Murdock’s vision? Cherub told me all about it. He said you must wait until you and Hunter have fought a battle, one in which you must both undertake to reach a resolution.”

“I take it Cherub’s told you everything then?”

“Aye, she left naught out.”
