CHAPTER SIXTEEN

“Don’t leave.”

Bryanna’s words seemed to echo in the dark chamber and clatter through his damned heart. Although she was sleeping now, during the night she had begged him not to leave, and he had succumbed. Now Gavyn kicked himself for staying as long as he had, making love to her into the early-morning hours while the fire had burned out completely and the rain had increased, pounding on the roof above.

Much as he wanted to stay with her, it would be dawn soon enough. The castle would begin to stir as men and women went about their tasks, and Gavyn could not risk being discovered.

He was still a wanted man, and there was a chance that word of his crime had traveled here to Tarth, where some villagers might recognize him. He had to be careful, at least until he’d spoken with former acquaintances, people who’d been friends with his mother.

He’d spent enough time in Bryanna’s bed as it was. He’d dozed after making love to her the first time, and then, upon waking, had drawn her sleeping body to his and made love to her again, discovering anew the wonder and magick of her body.

Sorceress? Nay. He didn’t believe she had any magic, other than to bewitch and beguile him.

Woman? Aye. Like no other.

Temptress? No bloody doubt.

As she’d slept, he’d extricated himself from her arms, slipped out of the bed, and gotten dressed in the dark.

The last thing he wanted to do was leave.

But staying would be just plain foolish.

When she let out a soft sigh and turned her cheek on the pillow, it was nearly his undoing. Why not slide back between the covers for a little longer? Could he not hide out here in this chamber? He imagined what it would be like to watch her awaken and find him in her bed. He considered her reaction, the surprise, then the pleasure in her turquoise eyes. How he would love to kiss her and make love to her in broad daylight. ’Twould be exquisite to stare into her eyes, watch her body move, witness her wonder and delight and pure pleasure as he made love to her. He thought of kissing her, seeing her lips, and then later, during the act, observing her kissing him, trailing her lips down his abdomen and lower. He grew hard as he thought of what she would do, how her eyes would look up at him in naughty amusement, how her tongue would flicker and taste him, how her mouth, oh, God, that wonderful, sensual, full-lipped mouth would work its magick upon him.

He nearly slid back into the bed but he heard a noise—the scrape of leather against stone—a boot or shoe in the hall outside the door.

He tensed. His fantasy shriveled along with the thickening of his cock.

His heart flew to his throat.

He strained to hear, but only the sounds of the rain on the roof and wind whipping around the keep met his ears.

For the love of God, he couldn’t forget they were not alone.
