Chapter Eleven

Sunlight, muted by sheer white curtains, flittered into the room giving it a subtle glow. Jerreon opened his eyes and sighed in contentment, feeling Kallie snug against his body. Her hand rested lightly on his chest right over his heart. She was where he wished she could always be. He wondered when he’d get to hold her like this again. It was too soon to have her away from him, but with Lysias so close she couldn’t remain here.

She was not going to be happy when he told her he was sending her off with her parents, but it was the right thing to do. He knew the truth when her brother had said they lived in a sparsely populated area. Even Lysias would have a hard time finding her there.

Jerreon placed his hand over hers, pressing it down as he kissed the crown of her head. Joy soared in him wiping away his concerns. Kallie shifted into him and made a soft purring sound. Jerreon smiled again, feeling better and better about being stuck on this world. Maybe he wasn’t a man out of place, just one that had to go a long ways to find his.

Kallie’s lips brushed his chest, making his heart rate jump. He looked down to find her staring up at him.

“My One.” Her words reached him.

Yes, he’d definitely found his place. He pulled her up over him to say good morning in the best way he knew how.

They were sitting on the balcony eating breakfast when Edward came rushing up the steps. Until then, they had been left on their own. Jerreon sensed urgency blasting off the young man before Edward stopped three steps from the top.

“Adam wanted me to come,” he said. “He wants you inside, out of sight. There are some government guys here.”

“I thought we had him cleared.” Kallie reached across the table.

Jerreon caught her hand, sending out comfort.

“That doesn’t seem to be why they’re here. They were asking questions about where Jerreon’s from. How long Adam’s known you? But I got the feeling they were asking other things.”

“What do you mean?” Kallie asked. Fear glistened in her eyes when she glanced back and forth between them.

“As I left the room, I heard one of the men ask if you,” he looked at Jerreon, “knew how Lysias caused the explosion and knocked the guards back without even touching them. You need to get in and stay out of sight.”

Jerreon nodded in understanding.

Edward changed his focus to Kallie. “I’m sorry to disturb your morning.”

“It’s okay. Thanks for the warning.” She watched him disappear then shifted her gaze to Jerreon. “What do we do?”

Silently, Jerreon rose with her, ushering her inside and closing the doors.

Kallie turned into him the moment the lock clicked shut. She trembled as his arms tightened on her.

“There is no reason to fear.” He tilted her face up. “Adam will handle them.” He tried to press his mind out to find the government men, but the distance was too far.
