Chapter Five

Emily stared at Saber in acute shock. She scrambled to an upright position, her heart pounding so loudly she could scarcely hear herself think. “You think I’m having an affair? Are you crazy?” Her voice rose toward the end of her sentence and her eyes prickled with a tightness that signaled imminent tears. “How could you think that I would…” she trailed off, words deserting her in the face of his accusation.

“I never said you were having an affair.” He scrubbed a hand over his face and the anger drained out of him. “I said there were three people in bed with us. You keep checking out. I hate making love to you when you’re not in the moment with me.”

Emily swallowed, the shocks coming one after the other. Saber wasn’t one for a lot of deep discussion. Oh, she knew and sensed his feelings, and lately she’d been aware of his turmoil. Part of it came through the mate bond. The other part she surmised from observations and the fact she’d lived with him for several years. “I don’t understand.”

Saber climbed to his feet and started pacing. His laugh held bitterness. “Of course you don’t. If you think I’m not hurting, that I don’t wish I’d been there that day.” He whirled to face her, his expression almost savage with the cat shimmering across his face. “I’m going for a run.”

“Don’t you think you’ll need some clothes?” She used a teasing tone, but instead of alleviating some of the tenseness, it served to fuel more. A chill stalked down her spine.

“I’m running in feline form.”

“But someone might see.”

“Let them,” he snarled.

Emily didn’t think she could feel yet another shock, but his words caused a ripple of unease. If there was one thing Saber was very careful about, it was letting strangers witness his feline form. When she thought about it, she was still surprised he’d taken the initial plunge during their courtship and showed her his other form. When it came to safety and keeping feline secrets, he verged on paranoid. With just cause. It was easy to imagine the interest feline shifters would engender in the scientific world.

“Okay,” she said. “How long will you be gone?” She wanted to know when she should start worrying. She gnawed her bottom lip while she waited for his reply.

His face seemed to soften at her words. “A couple of hours. I need to do some thinking.”

“Saber, I have never looked at another man. Never.”

“I know,” he said, and he crossed the distance separating them, coming to a halt by the bed. Leaning over, he kissed her. It was a gentle kiss yet held a touch of restrained passion that reassured her as words couldn’t. “I’ve arranged a massage session for you. I thought you could use it tomorrow, but why don’t you go up to reception and see if they can fit you in this afternoon?” He turned away before she could reply. “And order our dinner while you’re up there.
