Chapter 13

Tuesday evening

ABBIE lay within the circle of Luc’s arms. They were on a chaise on their covered patio overlooking Lake Travis. The sunset painted the world with an overlay of orange, gold and purple. The breeze off the lake was cool, pleasant after the unnaturally hot April day. Spring in Hill Country changed from day to day and sometimes hour to hour. Rain was predicted later tonight, thus the orange-red glow in the western sky. Cooler temps would prevail tomorrow. A good day to lie in bed and make love.

“I like that idea.” Luc murmured against her neck, raising chill bumps over her exposed skin. “Why don’t we call in sick?”

“Won’t work. Daniel would come out here and insist on making us chicken soup. The man is a frustrated Jewish mother.” Abbie snuggled into his warmth. “So, what did you sense happening between Gabby and Sam?”

“What do you mean?” He nibble-licked the tendon from her neck to her shoulder.

She pinched his arm. “Don’t play the dense shifter-wizard with me. If nothing else you can read auras as well as I can.”

“Heat. Sparks. Wariness from Sam. Complete acceptance from Gabby. What did you sense?”

“The same. But I think Gabby has seen more than she’s telling,” she paused and frowned, “but I’m not sure she knows she’s seen it.”

“What the heck does that mean?” Luc tipped her head back against his shoulder so he could see into her eyes. He massaged the frown lines on her forehead, following his action with a light kiss. She felt cherished. “You are my most adored one—now answer me, what has you frowning so?”

“It means—she’s dreamed more than she can bring to the forefront of her conscious mind. I’m not sure I’m the proper one to her train her precognitive abilities. The Goddess knows it’s not my strength.” She shook her head and sighed. Turning, she drew Luc’s mouth to her with a finger under his chin. “Kiss me, make me forget about the outside world for a while.”

“My pleasure.” He teased her lips with his tongue then moved on to claim her mouth. Her tongue tangled with his as her hand snaked its way down his body to find his hard cock lying heavy and erect between them, contained only by his jeans. He broke away, groaning. “Let’s take this inside. All of a sudden I’m ravenous for you.”

She smiled into his eyes. “Me, too.”

As they unwound themselves from one another, the house landline rang. They exchanged a worried look. Only family and Daniel and Van had the home phone number—and none of that select group had said anything about calling this evening. The obvious conclusion…something was wrong.

Luc leapt from the chaise. She followed closely on his heels. They reached the phone just as it switched over to the machine.

“Abbie. Luc.” Daniel’s voice came across the speaker. He sounded frantic. A powerful car engine and traffic noise could be heard in the background. “Jesus, you have to be there. Pick up, dammit.”

Luc shot her a worried glance as he hit the speaker button.
