Chapter Seventeen

My stiff body and dry throat indicated that I had been asleep for a long time. I squinted my eyes to make out shapes in a vaguely familiar room. I bolted upright instantly, my stomach rolling.

“Easy there, Luna,” a voice sounded from the shadows. I reached for my weapon under my pillow and realized that I was not in my room. Eros appeared from the shadows.

“Why am I in Magnar’s chambers?” I asked as he walked toward the bed.

His hair was wet; beads of water dripped from its ends and followed the hard planes of his abs toward the linen that was wrapped low around his hips.

“You hit your head and fainted.” Right, Luna, concentrate. “We brought you here so that we could keep an eye on your concussion.” Instinctively, I raised a hand to feel for the cut, but all that greeted me was soft, unmarked skin. Eros gave me a shy smile. “My blood healed you.”

My skin flushed at the memory, and I was suddenly very aware of what I was, or should I say was not, wearing. As if he could hear my thoughts, Eros’ eyes traveled down my body.

“Where are my clothes?” I asked, looking down at the tunic that grazed the tops of my thighs. It was white, and someone had rolled the extremely long sleeves up; the laces across my breasts were pulled tight. His eyes shifted to my face.

“Don’t worry, Luna; your handmaid May was able to dress you. My shirt was the closest thing; I hope you don’t mind …” He ran his hand nervously through his hair, which looked completely strange on the confident Siren. “You were freezing and covered in blood. The nightdress you wore was in tatters. None of us saw anything. We tried to let you bathe alone, but erm … you wanted us to stay.”

A sad smile was on his face.

“Things didn’t go exactly how we planned they would yesterday, and I was hoping you would allow us to explain everything?” He asked, obviously nervous I was about to run again. “I’m sure you are hungry. Some of your clothes are here. I will leave so you can change, and one of the guys will come to collect you.” He was nervously babbling; my fear melted away. I was safe here.

“Thanks.” My voice was hoarse, and my throat burned. I was completely famished, “I’m actually starving.”

“That’s normal after the amount of blood loss you have experienced.” He paused, looking like he wanted to say more. “I will see you soon, Luna.” He sighed.
