Chapter Six

Tristan watched her brows draw together, unprepared for how much such a simple gesture could awaken the cat that wanted to spend hours curled around her, feeling her touch.

She shook her head. “I don’t think I heard you right.”

Letting out a breath, he shoved his hands in his pockets. Her wary expression and straight spine weren’t exactly inviting a brush of his fingers across her cheek, let alone a long, slow kiss. Burying his hands in his pockets was the only way he could think of to avoid stroking her plump bottom lip.

Another breath. “I haven’t seen the sun since the fifth century.”

“And by century you mean…”

He inwardly braced himself. “Hundred year spans.”

She glanced at her hand and his stomach turned over at the reminder of her death sentence. “I don’t suppose you’re just off your meds?”

Leave it to Kennedy to try brushing it off as a joke. He shook his head.

She sank to the ground so quickly he could only flinch when she landed on her butt.

He crouched next to her, mesmerized by the way the sunlight glinted off her hair. He touched the ends of the blond strands shot through with shades of bronze and gold. How had he never noticed that about her hair before?

Tristan tipped her face up so it was not lost in shadows. He’d lived in the dark long enough. For months he could have felt the sun warm his back as it did now, and if he’d listened to the cat, to the instincts that drew him to Kennedy from the start, he would have been able to.

Her eyes slid shut. “I want to be dreaming.”

“And last night?” He studied her brows, her lashes, her lips.

She looked away from him. “Are you talking about the pre-feline part of the evening or after that?”

He smiled. “You’re not still scared of him, are you?”

“Right about now there isn’t much I’m not scared of.”

“But not me?” He’d been rougher with her than he’d wanted in bed, unable to completely control the cat’s need to dominate.

“You? No. But the things you make me feel scare me to death.”

He cupped her face, trying not to hope she felt half as much of a bond as he did. “What things?”

“Things I’m having a hard time controlling.”

Having no idea what humans experienced when bonding to immortal mates, he struggled to find the right words to say. “Maybe you need to loosen the reins then.”

She eased away from him. “You can’t keep doing that.”

“What?”

“Making me want to kiss you.”

He grinned. “I’m not making you do anything.”

She snorted. “You’re supposedly fifteen centuries old. I’m pretty sure that must come with a few perks.”

“Like coercing you into getting naked?” If he didn’t catch the heat that flared in her eyes he might have been offended.

She shoved to her feet. “I don’t know.” He trailed after her, but she spun around to face him. “Stay there.”

“Aren’t you worried I can hocus-pocus you into stripping from a distance?”

“You find this funny?” She sounded even less impressed than she looked.
