Chloe had no idea what time it was when she woke up or how long she’d been asleep. The bedside lamp was on, throwing a warm glow over her bedroom, so it was probably late evening.

The important thing was she felt more refreshed and was no longer burning up with a fever.

She also wasn’t alone in her bed.

A warm—and very male—body, was curled against her, spoon fashion. There was a strong arm draped about her waist, a hard and muscular chest against her back, and a definitely bigger than average bulge nestling against her bottom.

Nathaniel.

Chloe was starting to remember now. She had been burning up with fever and desire—again. Feeling those ants on and under her skin—again. Nathaniel had come bursting into her apartment, breaking the lock and chain on her door in the process, and appeared in her bedroom doorway seconds later.

Things became a bit hazy after that. Chloe remembered him taking her into his arms. How the feeling of ants beneath her skin had seemed to ease a little. How tired she had suddenly felt.

She also remembered him saying something about Arthur and the dragons and fated mates. Again.

If Deryk had told Nathaniel he had no choice but to kill her, to silence her, then he really needed to get on with it and stop with the fairy tales.

“I know you’re awake,” Nathaniel murmured close to her ear. “You’re thinking so loud, I can hear you.”

“What am I thinking, then?”

“What’s this man doing in my bed?”

Chloe chuckled tiredly. “That was too easy.”

“It was,” he conceded softly. “Feeling any better?”

“A little.” She rolled over in his arms so she was facing him, the palms of her hands flat against his bare chest, her own naked thighs telling her he was still wearing his jeans. “What’s wrong with me, Nathaniel?” She looked at him searchingly, easily noting the way his gaze suddenly refused to meet hers. “Why did I start to feel better the moment you held me in your arms?”

He winced. “I’m not sure.”

“Then what are you sure of?”

“Do you want an honest answer or one that means you aren’t going to get pissed at me?”

“What makes you think I’m not already pissed at you?” she derided. “You did break down my door, and now you’re in bed with me,” she reminded him.

He nodded. “Good point.”

“So?” She looked at him expectantly.

“Before the ten of us left Annwn—”

“Not again.” Chloe pushed against his chest to free herself before sliding to the side of the bed and standing, her sleep T-shirt ending mid-thigh. “You’re like a broken record, you know that?” She glared down at him, clenched fists resting on her hips. “I’m not in the mood to listen to any more of your fairy tales, so just kill me now— Whoa,” she murmured as her vision blurred and she swayed on her feet, the room tilting sideways.

Nathaniel was out of bed and had moved round to where Chloe stood almost before she’d had chance to grab hold of the bedside cabinet to stop herself from falling.
