CHAPTER SEVEN

When Josh woke the next morning, he was alone in the king-sized bed in the guest room of Deena’s house. They’d retired to his room because she’d told him shyly that it had the bigger bed. He liked that her room wasn’t a siren’s lair. He felt a primitive sort of satisfaction that she didn’t sleep with every man that came calling. Not that she seemed to get a lot of company way out here.

Still, his inner caveman liked to imagine her sleeping all alone in her bower…until he rolled into town. The wolf inside him wanted to howl in satisfaction while his two-legged side just wanted to laugh at his own thoughts.

Sometime in the night—in the collision and blending of their magical energies—he’d become hyper-aware of the luscious feel of Deena’s power. He could truly appreciate now how it lay just under the surface, an inferno of strength, linked through Deena’s beautiful soul to the Goddess Herself.

No wonder the Mother of All found it easy to speak through Deena. Her soul was the purest Josh had ever encountered, and her strength was awesome in its ferocity, with the flavor of other realms. Perhaps, in time, he’d learn to control his newly awakened magic as Deena could.

He already felt better about his wayward power. It seemed more willing to obey his wishes this morning. As if it had learned from the merger with Deena’s last night.

Reaching out with just a tiny tendril of his power, Josh tried to figure out where Deena had gone. Judging by the faint light slanting in through the window blinds, it was early morning. Very early. Just the other side of dawn.

Then, he realized. She’d probably gone down to the barn to see to her friendly animals. He encountered her energy more easily than he’d expected—this being a new skill and something he’d never really tried before. If he interpreted his magical senses correctly, she was checking on the injured calf, who had spent the night with Deena’s other animals, surrounded in a furry, protective circle.

He had to marvel at how Deena’s mismatched family of animals seemed to cross species lines easily. The alpacas had allowed the little calf to snuggle into their wool as they sat, one on each side of the baby. That was the picture in Deena’s mind when Josh made light contact. The sense of love and happiness that filled her spilled over and made him feel lighter.

When she became aware of him, the feelings intensified, as if she were sending them to him, and he found himself with one hand clutched to his heart. Not in pain, but in wonder. He’d never felt such things before. Only with this special, magical woman.

She managed to communicate the idea that she’d see him soon. He interpreted the emotional tone to mean that she’d finish with her menagerie and then come back to the house.

Josh leapt out of bed and cleaned himself up, dressing with extra care, though his wardrobe didn’t really give him a lot of choices.
