“I’m not going to cry,” she said. “I’ve done more crying in the last twenty-four hours than I have in the last twenty-four months, and I’m not going to cry.”

“That may be so,” Maltese said, “but your eyes are leaking.”

“Never mind! Rats and double rats! You’re not wishing hard enough, that’s all there is to it.”

“I have wished many times for you to go back.”

“Something’s not right. Because I’m still here, and we’ve been at this for hours.”

Maltese shrugged from his cross-legged position on the ground. She paced angrily in front of him, occasionally kicking up a burst of sand and wishing it was going right into his face. She didn’t quite dare do that, though she could fantasize, oh yes.

“Rats,” she said again, and slumped to the ground next to him.

“It was worth trying,” he said mildly.

“I haven’t given up yet,” she retorted, “and I’m not letting you give up, either. The cost of staying here is too high.”

“The cost?”

“Right. For example. I just now realized you’re naked. Again.”

“Of course,” he said, looking mystified.

“But that’s the sort of thing I should have noticed earlier, don’t you think? Where I’m from, you’d be in jail right this minute.”

“Jail?”

“A cage.”

Maltese shook his head. “Barbaric.”

“No, civilized. Anyway, if I don’t get back, who knows what other odd things are going to escape my notice? Hmm?”

He reached out and patted the top of her head, like a dog. “You could try it, if you wished. No one will put you in a jail if you decide to be sensible.”

“Sensible?”

“It is a warm day,” he pointed out. “You seem also warm.”

She was sweating, but not so much because of the heat. It was him. Lounging around on the ground, casually nude, as if she was used to this sort of thing, as if she could control the urge to reach out and do some patting of her own. Which was ridiculous. Ridiculous! She had several dozen other problems to worry about; her new lack of self-control seemed the least of them.

“If I have to stay here for a while,” she couldn’t help asking, “can I stay in the castle?”

“Of course.”

“That doesn’t imply I’m giving up, you know.”

“Of course.”

“And I’d like my own room.” She added, “Please.”

“Of course.”

“And don’t read anything into this, either,” she said, and leaned over to kiss him on the chin as she had the night before. Except he was too quick for her, seizing her firmly but gently, and she wasn’t kissing his chin, but his mouth. He’d pulled her into his lap and something was digging into her bottom and she just knew what that was, and his mouth was on hers, and oh, he was warm and smelled like the sand all around them, clean and hot.

She put her hands on his chest and felt his nipple harden under her fingertips, and resisted the urge to rub it and see if she could make him as oddly out of control as she now felt, make him feel like
