Chapter Six

It took all of Eadan’s control to avoid laughing at Inara’s obviously sincere apology. She’d touched him that way? He was pissed he’d missed it. The very idea of her hands on his body made his cock stir to life again. Eadan had to fight to keep from kissing the back of her hand. It was enough she was permitting him to touch her. He didn’t want to push too far.

He should stop and look for another way out, yet he couldn’t seem to pull himself from her side. For the moment, he was where he needed to be.

“Are you mad?” she asked. The vulnerability in her voice moved him. “That makes me one of those creepy people, doesn’t it?”

“Tell you what,” he answered, looking for words to set her mind at ease. “Let’s get out of here and you can pet me as much as you want, okay?”

“Promise?” She blinked. “I mean, um, I’m good. It’s all good.”

Hell yeah, it was fine with him if she petted him. She could rub him all over. He’d welcome it. But as much as he wanted to remain in contact with her, they needed out of the container and fast. Helmuth knew enough to put him in lead-laced chains and a lead-lined box. That meant he fully understood who and what Eadan was—that he was Fae.

And that meant PSI had a mole. Helmuth’s men shouldn’t have been expecting him. Yet, clearly they were.

Dammit.

Inara tugged on his hand, returning his full attention to her.

“When you were out cold, and I was petting you, it suddenly felt and sounded like hundreds of bees were buzzing around us.” She turned her face away from him. “And your head healed when it happened.”

Eadan gasped. Her Fae side had responded to his, as a mate would. She’d healed him without realizing what she’d done.

She is my true mate.

“I’m your true what?” she asked.

Eadan grinned. She could read his thoughts. As a mate should be able to. Though, she didn’t seem to have registered she had. He’d seen this happen to couples before. Sometimes, they tried to rationalize what was happening before admitting to the strange and wonderful.

Grabbing her and holding her close before claiming her as a Fae male would was all he wanted to do. Their current predicament demanded he postpone that desire, however difficult that may be. It was especially hard because Eadan’s line of Fae derived power from sex. It intensified their gifts.

She looked at him and tried to pull her hand free from his. “I’m sorry. I don’t know why it happened or even really understand what happened.”

He kept hold of her hand, bringing it to his lips once again. He kissed it and noticed she closed her eyes, leaning in to him more. That was a good thing. It meant they trusted one another on a baser level. It was elemental, as it should be. “Inara, you healed me. Like a mate would.”

“A mate?” she asked.

“We can talk about that later.”

A confused expression covered her face.
