Chapter 11

I woke at dawn, wrapped tightly in Kian's arms. He was fast asleep, his head nuzzled into my shoulder-blade. I allowed myself a minute to gaze luxuriously at him, sleeping, his beautiful face in peace. Back in Gregory, he would be the most gorgeous man, with that rock star sexiness, full lips and silvery blue eyes. I sprang to my feet. I wanted nothing less than to leave his embrace – so warm, so comfortable, his muscles so hard and yet his caress so soft. But I knew how much trouble it would spell for both of us if we were found out here together. The secret that Logan and I were engaged in name only was one we had to keep for all our sakes. I dressed hastily, doing my best not to wake Kian. He looked so peaceful, lying dappled by sunlight, the pink dawn transforming his ordinarily marble skin into something approaching human tone. I pressed my fingers to my lips, kissing them and transferring my fingers to his scar. It wasn't a mere accident of shape, I knew. The design was too perfect, too designed, to be anything other than magical.

This was the Midnight Knight who lay before me. I had spent the night not only with Kian, my love, the man I knew, but with a legend. Hope and promise surged within me. And yet I bit my lip with worry. Last time the Midnight Knight had fought off the Dark Hordes, he had been dragged with them into the Gorge – never seen since. Was that to be Kian's destiny, too? I had worked so hard to bring him back from the brink of death – what if I lost him again?

I sighed. We had spoken no more of Logan since our conversation had given way to passion, but I knew that – for all the pleasures of the night before – things would only get harder from now on. Kian had to witness us kiss once – but it was worse than that. He knew. He knew – even as I tried to tell myself I did not know – that my feelings for Logan were unresolved. I tried so hard to push them away, to forget about them, but this engagement was bringing memories to the surface that I never wanted to deal with.

Could it be possible, I wondered, as I looked at Kian's sleeping form? Was there such a thing as true love twice over – that I could love Kian with all my soul and still have enough left over to love Logan, too? The idea of losing either of them – of never seeing either of them again – made me want to die. Things were easier in the fairy tales I'd read as a child, I thought. In fairy tales, it was so easy who was the prince and who was the wicked villain – there were no complications. Princesses never had to worry about divided affections. But here I was, in a real-live fairy tale, and there were no such easy happily ever afters.
