Chapter Seven

Gwyn pressed one last kiss to his mouth, then unwound her arms from around his neck and released him from her embrace. “I got distracted from my intended plans. You still need to bathe, and I need to clean up again. Carry me over to the tub, and I’ll see it done. Then, my soulbound, it’s time for you to go.”

He lifted her into his arms without withdrawing from her body, carrying her easily. He walked the few paces back to the tub and stepped into the heated water before finally putting her down so that she stood mere inches away from him. Once she was back on her feet, he cupped a hand to her cheek, his eyes narrowing and a stubborn light flaring in his eyes. “I don’t want to leave you, not even to return to my cell. Tell the master that I am healing, but it would be best if I stayed where I am for now. I’ve no intention of leaving your side until I know you are safely away from this hellish place.”

She placed her index finger on his furrowed brow and shook her head, trying to keep her voice light despite the pain in her heart. “Stop glowering at me, guardian. I’m not one of your men to be intimidated and ordered about. I wasn’t telling you to go back to your cell. I meant that you need to go home. What we’ve done can’t be hidden. The master will sense the change and demand I tell him what’s happened. I won’t be able to disobey, and then we’ll both be damned.”

Vamir reached up to take her hand in his larger one, drawing it down to his lips to press a kiss to each of her fingertips. “What do you mean, it can’t be hidden? The sorcerer can’t see the essence like you do, can he? I was taught the members of his order could only twist magic to their own use through glyphs and incantations and the like.”

“I don’t know who taught you that, but it’s not entirely true. They can’t see the essence like an elemental can, but right now, the bond between us thrums with enough power that even the apprentice will be able to sense it.”

“Well, shit,” he muttered, but his lips were quirking up into the beginnings of a smug smile. “I guess this means we’re back to my original plan, huh? You and me heading out of here before anyone’s the wiser. You’re finally going to be free of this place, little one.”

Gwyn bit the inside of her cheek to distract her from the ache in her heart. “No, guardian. You’ll be going alone. If you take me with you, then my master will be able to locate your outpost through my collar. It’s too dangerous for me to go with you. The outpost has to remain hidden. Just promise me you’ll hurry back.”

Vamir felt her pain through their connection, and it echoed the hurt in his own heart at the thought of leaving her behind.
