Chapter Nineteen

Nikolai wasn’t surprised when Aleksi and the Time Folder appeared only moments after he had removed his hand from Elena’s shorts. He was grateful they hadn’t appeared a minute or so earlier, because he believed he’d gained some ground with her. One orgasm was worth a million words at that moment. It had been foolhardy, though. Before he had touched her, he should have thought to move her to the bathroom or another location. He needed to take Darvaak’s advice and start thinking. Her culture wasn’t like his. She would have been embarrassed to have been discovered. Now that she was receptive, he didn’t want to blow it. He’d reached her body and soul, but now he needed to appeal to her mind. That was what stood between them now, and it was a substantial obstacle. She was smart. Brilliant, in fact. And he loved that about her.

“News?” he asked once the two had solidified from teleporting.

“Yes!” Aleksi said. “Both of the sorcerers were there. We just need to locate one.”

Darvaak walked to the bar. “Drinks, anyone?”

When Aleksi strode to the bar, Nikolai caught Elena’s eye and placed his fingers in his mouth and licked them. She gasped and he winked. That would get her going—that, and the idea he had planted earlier. By the time he had her alone again, she’d be ready for anything. Everything. And Nikolai wanted everything.

“I’d love a glass of wine,” Elena said. “Red, if you have it.”

“That sounds good to me, too.” He put his mouth to his ear and whispered, “You taste much better, though.”

She trembled with desire and he laughed.

Darvaak opened a bottle of wine and set it on the counter. “We need to give it a moment.”

“So you saw both of them?” Nik asked, running his fingers down Elena’s spine.

“Yes. I’d never thought to look for them before. They were hiding a distance from the site. They were not there at the same time. Borya was there before whatever occurred. Zana showed up at the end. I can’t tell what happened while they were in the erased area, but I could see them outside of it.”

“Erased area?” Elena asked.

He spread his hands out on the bar. “Yes, in the past, it looks like a bad Photoshop job. You see the men talking, and then they are rubbed out until the blur dissipates and they are dead in the snow. The area around the fight scene is clear and intact. I can’t even walk into the erased area. It’s blocked by some spell. If we can break it, we can see it. That would involve finding the one who cast it or ordered the spell, and convincing him or her to lift it.”

“Or killing the one who cast the spell in the first place.” Aleksi grinned. “I like that option best.”

The Time Folder didn’t react. “We must find one of the seers.”

“Impossible,” Nikolai said.

“Theoretically, very little is impossible, Itzov. Well, other than making you a decent, civilized being.” He crossed his arms over his chest.
