Chapter Six

Giles snapped several dry twigs apart with angry, jerky movements. Tonight they’d be sleeping under the stars. Out in the open, it wasn’t ideal. But Lilith swore there were no towns close, and now that the pub wouldn’t rent out a room, they had no choice.

He wasn’t happy about it, not with her in heat as she was. The way the man in green had touched her, that caress…

Giles spat by his foot, snapping yet more twigs and tossing them into the fire pit he’d dug out. He was angry with her and the worst part was he wasn’t even sure why anymore.

His emotions confused him.

“What’s the matter?” she asked a moment later.

She’d still not switched forms, which was preferable to the other one. Her true one. One look at her and the man—Little John—who’d been ready to strike her would have had much different thoughts on his mind.

Clenching his jaw, Giles shook his head. “I do not enjoy being exposed. Not with you this way.”

“Unfortunately we’ve got no choice tonight, knight. I’ve got great hearing, so if something comes within our camp, I’ll—”

“Did you know that man back there?”

She frowned. “I know of him. Though I don’t know him personally. He means us no harm.”

“How do you know? His man meant to strike you—”

Grabbing his flailing hand, Lilith tugged on it gently. “That was the Prince of Thieves. Robin Hood and those men were his merry band.”

Thinning his lips, Giles glanced around the wooded area. The trees sheltered them well, and with the canopy of leaves he’d spread above it they should be able to contain the glow of flame enough from alerting others to their presence in the woods.

“They didn’t appear so merry, and I do not trust them, Lilith. Every instinct inside me says we should push on.”

“And go where?” She tossed up her hands. “There is nothing but woods for miles in any direction. We have no choice. I need sleep, as I’m sure you do. You’re worrying too much.”

“And you do not worry enough.”

Plopping her hands on her hips, she glared at him. “What is that supposed to mean?”

“The dragon.”

Damn it, he hadn’t meant to say it. He wasn’t even angry about the incident anymore, but the girl unnerved him in a way no one had for some time. Lately his thoughts had been far from honorable while in her presence and it angered him that he seemed to have no control over his thoughts when she was around.

“Oh.” She rolled her eyes. “I wondered when you’d bring that up. Look, I saved us both, didn’t I?”

He clenched his jaw, chanting to himself not to take the bait. But he was angry and the fury of the fight still rode him. For reasons he couldn’t fathom, Robin Hood had been able to see beyond her veil of illusions and the evidence of the lust burning in his blue eyes had snapped something almost violent inside of Giles.

“Yes, and you were reckless. That would have been the right moment to use the wish.
