Chapter Eleven

Reaper

Reaper cursed himself again. Although he’d wanted Ara to train and build endurance in order to protect herself from what was coming, the more selfish part wanted to keep her in their bed. Each time they had made love had been more intense than the last.

Their connection from the first moment had been immediate and visceral, and although she’d run from him, that finite contact had driven him to search for her and eventually find her. But since they’d gotten to know each other, something elemental had developed between the two of them, and he knew that he couldn’t live without her.

When she had first arrived at his home, he had made it a point to touch her, even if it was as simple as holding her hand.

But it had grown into something more than even he could have imagined.

He anticipated her movements and could sense what mood she was in without even glancing at her. He found that he missed her if they were separated. But more than anything, he savored the moments when she touched him without any trepidation. Each time she leaned into him and snuggled as they watched a movie, or curled up against his side as they slept, surprised him. The first time she had initiated their kiss, and every time after, felt like a gift.

As much as he craved to sequester them at his home and ignore the world, he couldn’t shake the sense that the sick fuck was more determined than ever to capture her. He knew that she wouldn’t be safe until he was dead.

He had been driving around Snowfall for the last hour, making sure that no one had followed them on their trip to Kai and Liv’s. He never wanted to put Ara in danger, and because of his inattention the last time, she could have been killed. It still haunted him.

Other thoughts had crowded his mind since he woke up that morning.

Once he had eliminated the man who had hurt her, would it be fair to subject her to his life and all that it entailed?

All he knew, all he had been was an assassin, and although he would give that up in an instant to be with Ara, he couldn’t help but think that she would be in danger because of him and his past actions.

But the thought of letting her go had caused him physical pain, and he understood that it wasn’t his decision alone. It could be months or years before the threat was eliminated, and in the meantime, he was determined to prove to her that he would make a good mate.

Their drive hadn’t produced a sign that they were being followed. When he parked, he released her seat belt and without waiting for her to move, he lifted her onto his lap and kissed her as unfamiliar emotions swirled in his chest. His lips slid from her
