Chapter Six

Around ten o’clock that night, Abigail sat reading by the fire, yet her thoughts wandered from her book. She thought about how much her life had changed over the past months. Even six months ago, if someone had told her she would be free of her father, consorting with daemons and obsessed by one of them, she would have thought that person completely insane.

How many times had she told herself to forget about Tyrus? They had shared some blissful moments but neither had attempted to take their relationship further, nor had they tried to repeat the carnal indulgence of that night by the lake. Perhaps she hadn’t appealed to him as much as she thought. If his physical pleasure had been as great as hers, wouldn’t he have pursued her by now?

Of course she hadn’t given him much of a chance for physical pleasure. She had selfishly allowed him to stimulate her to climax, and when he’d tried to sate his lust she’d stopped him. Or rather he had respected her wishes, for if he’d wanted to push the issue she hadn’t the physical strength to stop him.

So many times since that night she’d imagined what it would have felt like if he had followed through with making love to her. Deep inside she wanted to give him the same pleasure he’d given her. She wanted to watch his face as he soared in ecstasy. Now she would most likely never have the chance. It was probably for the best.

She’d seen the devastation Eris had caused in trying to separate the brothers from their soulmates. If she and Tyrus were lovers, no doubt she would be the wicked spirit’s next target. Better to sacrifice pleasure for safety, at least that’s what she told herself. However she knew that if Tyrus desired and loved her as much as Adrien and Dimitri loved their mates, she would battle a thousand like Eris to share a life with him. Sighing deeply, she placed the book aside. So much for such fanciful thoughts.

Someone tapped at her door. Her brow furrowed, she stood and headed for the foyer, wondering who could be calling at this hour.

“Who is it?” she called.

“Tyrus.”

Abigail’s pulse leapt. It was as if her lustful thoughts had summoned him. Impossible. Most likely he had a message from Hailey. Heavens, she hoped nothing was wrong!

She opened the door and gazed at him. Dressed entirely in black except for his blood red waistcoat, he stared at her with such intensity she was taken aback. His blue eyes burned into her, sending a rush of passion through her. Just looking at him made her belly clench and her nipples tighten. Each time she looked at him he seemed to become more handsome and desirable.

“Tyrus, is something wrong? Is Hailey --”

“Your sister is fine, but there is something wrong.”

“What?”

“May I come in?”

She hesitated a moment. Something about him unsettled her more than usual. In spite of his calm tone, he appeared agitated, almost desperate and somehow more dangerous than ever.
