Chapter Ten

Penny

Penny stretched out, a pleasant tingling in her muscles from the sex she’d had the previous night. She always loved the morning after. It always felt so good. Like every muscle in her body was utterly relaxed. Sleeping after having sex was always great, too. She never slept so soundly as she did when she was riding on those post-coital endorphins. Now she rolled over, patting the bed as she looked for Warmund’s warmth to curl up into.

He wasn’t there.

Reluctantly, she cracked open her eyes to make sure her hands weren’t playing tricks on her. When she saw that the bed was, in fact, empty, she pushed herself to her elbow and glanced at the space by the hearth. No blankets, no pillows, no Warmund.

Maybe he’s still out with Lisa.

Her heart jumped into her throat as her mind leapt to the worst possibility—that he had kidnapped her baby. She threw the blankets off and checked the cots. All three of her children lay there. Mark’s eyes were open, and he grinned at her but was content to just lay there. Alex was starting to stir, too, but Lisa’s eyes were firmly shut. This was the usual way things worked; she’d have time to change Mark’s diaper before Alex woke up and she had to change and feed him, and then she’d have to wake up Lisa to much grouching and fussing.

As her bare feet touched the cold floor, she glanced around again. No sign of Warmund anywhere. Her heart started to sink. So that’s what it was, huh? She fell for it again. Falling asleep with the man she’d just shared her body with, only to find him gone in the morning.

Why had she expected anything different with Warmund?

Penny shook her head. She had been expecting something else because she was scared and alone; she had clung to him because he was the familiar thing. That’s all it was.

I should have told him that Alex was his child.

A shiver ran down her spine. Last night when he came back, she hadn’t once tried to tell him that he had a son. A son that, for all she knew, might disappear if he was successful. Her lungs froze up as her blood ran cold. Not for all she knew. If Warmund had no reason to be on Earth, then Alex would never be conceived. Would he disappear from her arms even as she held him? Would she even remember?

I should have told him. I should have begged him not to go. I should have given him a reason to stay.

As her thoughts started to spiral out of control, the door burst open. Penny leapt to her feet, a cry of joy in her throat. She choked on it, though, when she saw that the man who entered wasn’t, in fact, Warmund. The instant dread, though, was short-lived. She recognized him; the scar on his brow and the thick braid down his back gave it away.

“Thonis.” She sighed in relief at the sight of the familiar dragon.
