When Sydney woke, she blinked away the blurriness of her vision. Silver was rubbing something that felt soothing on her stitches. They crawled up Sydney’s arm in three long rows like marching spiders.

She was still in the kitchen, only now she was in Conlan’s lap. He had wrapped his strong arms around her waist, and her back was against his bare chest. His scent surrounded her, mixing with all the other smells.

Only now there was one more. She sniffed. “Chicken noodle soup.” Her words came out a little slurred, but her stomach growled quite clearly.

“Nice to see you awake.” Silver started gathering the supplies and taking them back to the cabinet. “Soup will be ready after you take a bath. You’ll feel better. Stronger.”

“I think you’re right.” Sydney’s head spun a little as she eased to her feet, placing one palm on the tabletop to brace herself. Conlan stood with her, steadying her.

She leaned into him as he took her to the large downstairs bathroom that adjoined her bedroom. He shut and locked the door behind them, then turned on the water in the whirlpool tub.

For some reason it felt totally natural for him to be undressing her. After he removed her glasses and set them on the marble countertop, he tugged her T-shirt over her head, taking care with her injured arm.

“I was worried for you, sweet witch,” Conlan murmured as he unfastened her body armor and dropped it to the tile floor. “But you are a strong warrior.”

Sydney smiled. She still felt a little groggy and woozy from the knockout potion, but the man was turning her on. Her arm didn’t hurt right now, although her body ached from the day’s events. Yet he still caused butterflies to flutter in her belly.

“Hold on to that bar,” Conlan told her when she was naked. She wrapped her fingers around the towel rack and he released her. She listed a little to one side but was too fascinated by watching him strip out of his clothing to really pay any attention to it.

His finely carved chest was already bare. Her mouth watered as he removed his boots and she watched the play of muscles across his shoulders. It still amazed her that there were no signs on his back of where his wings appeared when he wanted them to. Just smooth, golden skin.

When he pushed down his leather pants, she sighed with pleasure. He was so gorgeous—every hard, sinewy, inch of him.

Yummy.

Conlan helped her into the whirlpool tub. Her stitches were magically waterproof, so she didn’t have to worry about them.

It was heaven as she sank into the warmth. With a big splash and swell of water, Conlan slid in behind her so that her back was to his chest, a hard ridge against her ass. Using one of her loofah sponges and her favorite raspberry-scented body gel, he began to wash her body, and she sighed.

She’d never done anything like this in her life. In past relationships she’d always dated the man for a while before she would allow the relationship to progress to a sexual stage.
