Chapter 13

Anais rested in Loke’s arms, her gaze on the fire as the flames flickered, sending warm light dancing across the black ground around it. When he shifted and sighed, she pulled her focus from the flames, twisted so her front pressed against his left side while carefully avoiding his wound, and looked at him. He lay with one arm bent beneath his head, cushioning it, and his eyes closed. He looked content. Happy. Handsome.

Hours had passed since they had surrendered to their desire and they hadn’t moved from this spot. They had passed every minute in each other’s arms and in silence, sharing the moment.

Loke’s eyes opened and lowered to her, their striking aquamarine depths warmed by the light of the fire off to his right. He raised a single dark blue eyebrow at her and she had the feeling he was trying to figure out why she was staring at him.

Why wouldn’t she be staring at him?

He was gorgeous, and the way he was laying, with his arm beneath his head, showed off his muscles and rekindled the heat within her, making her think about climbing on top of him and seeing if he was interested in an encore.

It had been a long time since she had experienced anything as intense and blissful as making love with Loke. When he had unleashed his strength on her, she had found Heaven. He had sent her shooting into the stratosphere, or possibly beyond it. Heat pooled in her belly and she had to close her eyes to shut him out as she fought the urge to lower her mouth and kiss a trail across his chest to awaken his hunger for her.

There was something she had to ask him first, and it was something that was liable to ruin the moment. She didn’t want that to happen and she didn’t want to upset him, but she had to know or it was going to hover at the back of her mind and mar her time with him.

“Are the dragons who took the other hunters like you?” Her voice sounded too loud in the silence, even when she felt sure she had whispered that question.

He frowned, raised his other hand away from the small of her back and brushed her hair behind her ear for her. “Like me?”

She nodded and when his frown didn’t shift, the quizzical look in his eyes remaining, she decided she needed to say it straight. “Are those dragons going to be nice to my friends like you are to me… or are they going to be like Zephyr?”

He looked away from her, towards the fire, and his expression gained a troubled edge. Her heart sank into her stomach and she couldn’t stop her mind from filling with images of her fellow huntresses being mistreated.

“I do not know if they had a reason for taking their females… but if they did… their reason would not be as mine was. It would not be noble.”

She frowned as the slender ribbon of hope she had been clinging to slowly dissipated.
