Chapter Twelve

The languid feeling of lying in Aaron’s arms had vanished. Danielle was fraught with too much tension. Her chest felt strung so tight it just might spring like an overused string of a violin. She made her way to the weight room, hoping to work off the tension or at least relieve it somewhat. She was pleased to find the room empty and grabbed a towel from the shelf as she entered. She stepped up onto an elliptical exercise machine, chose her preferred course on the control panel and began the hour long trek of pushing, pulling, stepping and climbing. Instead of inserting the available ear buds and immersing herself in music, she lost sight of everything around her. Closing her eyes and allowed her thoughts to wash over her.

But allowing this all at once was too much and caused the pain within her chest to increase. She mentally chastised herself as her pulse and breathe quickly increased at an abnormal pace with her thoughts and the problems revolving around Aaron took hold of her. She realized she must take control of her thoughts, organize them into smaller pockets that she could handle without them overwhelming her. She’d tackle one concern at a time, analyzing it rationally. Not allow her thoughts to engulf her, sweeping her out to sea like an insurmountable undertow and swallowing her whole, never to resurface. She was a disciplined warrior – she could do this. She took deep even cleansing breaths until her heart rate lessened. Once this task was achieved, she was ready to begin again.

With her eyes still closed, Danielle pictured Aaron in her mind. He was so beautiful to look at and delightful to touch, so very sexy. And when he touched her…

Wait…stop. That thought would have her pulse racing again. But, that in itself, was definitely not a problem as far as her vision and body were concerned. Although she certainly wanted him sexually now, just how long would that last? Her past had taught her that men weren’t reliable or trustworthy. Alarr had unwittingly taught her that. As did the other men in her past that refused to respect her as a woman and a warrior.

The real question was her strange and instant attraction, the pull she felt towards him and not only on a physical level. Almost as if she knew him, not as a person, but deeper, as in his soul. Yes, he shared the same coloring as her former mate, but so did millions of others and they didn’t make her do and say the things she was drawn to do with Aaron. She’d unbelievably outed her entire race with little thought of the consequences. It must be the binding chain. Had to be. There just was no other explanation. So predictably, once it was removed, the attraction would go with it. Wouldn’t it? She trusted Zahara and the other’s to find a solution.

“The sooner the better,” she mumbled somewhat unconvincingly.

Playing devil’s advocate, another thought took form.
