Chapter Five

Vicky drew lazy circles on Leandros’ chest. A blissful smile curved her mouth despite the nudging fact that they would leave for the village in about an hour and she’d return to her ordinary life. He’d treated her like a goddess and she’d ingested his aura, every passionate touch, every kiss, like oxygen. She was tempted to cling to him forever in this bed and forget about everything else. Any woman would be. “Tell me what you were thinking when you said you would frighten me if you told me,” she asked.

She felt the pause in his breath and then his chest shook with a chuckle. “Women. They can’t let certain things go.”

She nuzzled his throat where his pulse beat. “You said you’d tell me.”

His hand moved up her thigh and grasped her hip. “I wished you were immortal.”

Her heart skipped. She’d wished the same thing after their lovemaking sessions, when she’d lain twined in his arms and had a moment to think straight.

She traced his dark nipple. “Life is terribly unfair sometimes. Why is that, Leandros?”

He caressed her nape. “I don’t have the answer to that, sweetness.”

Vicky followed his steady heartbeat for a moment. “Chances are I’ll never see you after today, will I?”

She felt the heavy swell of his chest as he tucked his fingers under her chin and raised her face so their gazes met. His eyes smoldered with something dark yet indefinable.

“It’s the right thing, Vicky. You know why.”

She gave a faint nod. “Yeah, but I’ll miss you.” She chewed her bottom lip. “For a long time.”

In a flash, she found herself on her back, pinned under hard muscles. His hands cupped her face as his eyes flickered with a dangerous flame. A gasp escaped her.

“That’s not what I want to hear.” There was an edge of steel in his voice.

Difficult emotions rose inside her as she processed his response. She pressed her hands to his chest. “It’s how I feel. You can’t expect me to just erase you from my mind.”

His thumb brushed her cheek. “I can erase this from your memory if you want.”

A chill went up her spine as she searched his eyes. “You can do that?”

A muscle clenched in his jaw. “I can do many cruel things, sweetness.” His voice was soft but laced with warning.

She wasn’t an idiot. Leandros wanted to scare her for her own good. She narrowed her eyes. “Don’t you dare, Leandros. You invited me up here and I have the right to cherish every minute we had together.” She curbed her indignation. “But I understand, so don’t worry.”

A shadow moved across his face and tension lined his mouth. “Don’t think this is easy for me.” His voice was thick with unspoken thoughts. He kissed her forehead and met her gaze. “Promise me you won’t accept a man that can’t fulfill you emotionally and physically.”

Her heart squeezed, hurt by past experience, happy that he cared. “Easier said than done.”

“There are many good men who could be your soul mate.
