CHAPTER 5

Cold. She was absolutely freezing. As if she had been swimming in melted snow. Freya’s teeth began to chatter. “What was I thinking of?” Freya riposted, shocked and hurt.

“I suppose you’ll blame the effects of the poison this time,” Eoin said bitterly. He wanted to shake her. He wanted to kiss her. What he should be wanting was rid of her. He didn’t like the way she rippled the placid waters of his life, the way she made him want her. Need her. He didn’t need anyone! And he certainly didn’t like the little voice in his head that was telling him she was the thing that was missing from his life.

“It’s not the plant. It’s you. It must be you,” Freya said, struggling to assemble her thoughts into some coherence. “It’s the way you look at me. Mesmerising. You make me…”

“I don’t make you do anything! I’m not casting spells or employing Faol magic,” Eoin said angrily. “It’s got nothing to do with my being Faol, any more than it’s to do with you being an heiress. Whatever it is, we’re creating it.”

Were they? Freya eyed Eoin in complete confusion. Eoin made her feel real. He made her feel lots of things she’d never felt before but it was safer to believethat it was the Faol world, that it was Kentarra and the Faol ways, because if it was not—no! Don’t think about it. “It’s not us. You’re beguiling me,” she said agitatedly. “If you would stop looking at me the way you do…”

“You think you would feel differently? Very well then, you give me no option but to prove you wrong.”

He pulled the sash from her dress and tied it around her eyes to form a blindfold before she’d realised what he was doing. She was completely disoriented. “Eoin, what are you doing? Why are you doing this?”

“I’m a man first, before I am a Faol. Just as you are a woman first, even if you are branded an heiress. I see that, Freya. Why can you not?”

“How can I see anything with this blindfold on?” Freya stood, aware of a change in the atmosphere between them, the sense that something irrevocable was about to happen. Blindfolded, she was forced to confront what she had been trying to avoid for days now. She wanted him, just exactly as he said, for himself. She wanted Eoin. And Eoin wanted Freya. “Eoin, I don’t think…”

“Don’t think. Just feel. Don’t look, just experience.” He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. He tasted so familiar, and yet so different. No longer a stranger, yet all the more tantalising for what she knew of him. No longer formidable, yet all the more potent. His kiss was exactly what she had been longing for and so much more. The darkness enhanced every caress. It attenuated the whisper of his breath, the friction of his skin on hers, the scent of him, strongly masculine, and of her too, sweetly feminine. She really did feel as if her bones would melt.
