‘Charlie?’ his beautiful voice stroked her senses, waking her from the doze she had fallen into on the bed. He had been gone some time.

‘Charlie? Are you all right?’ She hated to hear the sad concern in his voice. She opened her eyes and nodded.

‘Poor senorita, it has all been such a shock to you.’

‘Did you tell them why it was none of my concern?’ she said with a sniffle.

‘Do you mean did I compromise you by telling them we were not married? No, I would not do that to you, Charlie.’

‘You must think me a silly little idiot to have started all of this. Maybe you think I am a lunatic. My behaviour certainly supports such a conclusion.’

Juan took her hand, which was no longer covered by a glove and kissed each finger in turn. It was the most intimate thing that anyone had ever done to her. Something strange started to happen between her legs and she clamped her thighs together, fighting the delicious weakness that was overtaking her.

‘I think you are an impulsive, kind-hearted young lady who takes far too many risks for her own good. But I am grateful those risks were taken for me. When I kissed you earlier, it was because I had convinced myself that I was delirious and that you were not real. I thought that the image of the beautiful blonde woman I had obsessed over in the courtroom had become twisted up in my crazy head. Become part of my delirium. Do you know that your green eyes are unlike any I have ever seen before? Like spring leaves. Truly lovely.’

He stroked her hair back from her face. Charlie couldn’t believe how much that simple gesture touched her.

‘I am not part of any delirium.’

‘No, you are not.’ He leaned down and brushed her lips with his own. ‘You are very real, just as all this is very real. That is why you have to go. I have to do this quarantine in the north. I have to find out if I am to become a werewolf or not. If I was not infected, I will come to you and we will do this properly, you and I. I will court you properly, if you will have me. I come from a good family and I have sufficient wealth to support you. Your father will approve, as long as he does not recognise me as his client.’

‘And if you are infected?’ She didn’t want to ask the question. It was too horrible to contemplate.

‘Then you will never hear from me again. But Charlie, I will be all right. This place, this Breckenhill Keep, it is not a mad house. It is a community where people with the condition live happy, worthwhile lives. I lost that sense of community when I left the priesthood. I will do well enough back in that environment again.’

‘Priesthood? You were a priest?’ For a moment she was distracted from the point of their discussion, but quickly returned to the subject.
