Chapter Eight

Between Claire’s amazing tears and the kicked up power from Kayne’s earlier healing power still flowing through his body, Rory was almost completely healed by the time they reached the lair several hours later. When he’d awoken to find himself (a) alive and (b) kissing Claire, neither man nor beast could hold back. It was the culmination of everything he’d ever denied wanting and for most of his life believed he didn’t need. She completed him in ways he couldn’t imagine as well as in ways he was looking forward to exploring.

First on his list of things to do was get her dressed in something other than Malick’s pajama shirt. Racing to his bike, he grabbed a T-shirt for himself and one for Claire, along with his drawstring sweatpants from his saddlebags. Once she was dressed in his clothes and the griffins had been thrown in the pyre his brethren built to dispose of the remaining bodies not burned by phoenix fire, Rory could finally relax.

Not letting her get out of his sight as they searched for any remaining griffins, Rory bombarded Claire with thought after thought of all they would share together. She had blushed so many times her cousins openly teased her and asked for details.

“Oh come on, Claire. Just a few details?” Delilah teased.

“We can keep a secret,” Karleigh giggled with a look that said she knew full well not a one of them had ever been able to keep a secret in all their very long lives.

That did not, however, stop the fun as Gabby waited until several of Rory’s brethren were around to ask, “So, Rory, whatcha waiting for? How long’s it gonna take you to make an honest woman out of our Claire?”

Rory almost burst out laughing when Claire spun around and pegged the swan shifter with a look that promised retribution, but her shocked expression, complete with eyes as big as saucers and her mouth wide open, was so much better when he replied, “Tomorrow, next day at the latest,” with a straight face.

Claire stammered and stuttered as his brethren joined in on the fun.

“And here come the chuckle heads. Just wait, it’s gonna get good.” Rory chuckled through his direct link to Claire.

Kellan, who was still hiding the scarred side of his face from Claire’s cousins, even looked up and smiled as he threw his two cents into the discussion. “And that’s coming from the ‘confirmed bachelor’. What was that he used to tell us, Lenn?”

“I seem to recall the words ‘mates are for saps’ coming out of his mouth a time or two,” Lennox chuckled so hard Rory wondered if the goof might fall in the pile of smoldering debris he was shifting through.

“How about ‘there’s not a woman alive that can keep up with me’?” Roy called from the far side of the room they were searching.

“Is that so?” Claire finally joined the fun, making him love her all the more.

“Well, I’m thinking he might’ve just met his match,” Tilly’s teased.
