My soul.

“Am I?”

The wince that swept across his face was elusive even as it imprinted on her heart in the small second that she saw it.

“You’re the closest thing I have.”

She reached up and took his hands in hers, stepping out of the tub. She held his eyes as he stepped out after her, and then she backed out of the bathroom, pulling him into his bedroom. In front of the golden glow of the fireplace she stopped, her heavy eyes momentarily mesmerized by the drops of water shining like diamonds on his shoulders in the firelight.

“You have a soul, Jack,” she murmured.

He shook his head, but it was only the slightest gesture. She released his hands and raised her fingers to his face, tracing the contours, finally touching her fingers to his lips.

“You have a soul,” she murmured again.

His lips pursed softly, kissing her fingers. One finger rubbed his lower lip, and he took it into his mouth, sucking on it gently. The wet heat of his tongue teased her fingertip as his teeth bit down, the softest pressure on her skin. His lips tightened over the digit, sucking it with increasing pressure.

“Then we’ll share mine,” she said and smiled at him with so much love, it hurt to look at her. It knocked the wind out of him and made his chest ache with the force of his gratitude, the force of his love.

He was a fool to ignore the Solstice.

He didn’t know how to protect her. To protect them.

She offered him her body, her heart, her head…and now her soul.

He offered her nothing.

“Darcy,” he whispered, his voice raw with the power of his feelings, the wholeness of his love for her, the desperation to have her, the imminent danger to both of them.

“Let your claws drop,” she breathed.

It was the very last thing he expected to hear.

“What?”

“I want…” She swallowed, looking unsure for a moment before meeting his eyes again. “I want you to know that I trust you, that I love you. Every part of you. I don’t want you to hide yourself from me.”
