Chapter Ten

I knew then. The danger lies not only with the demon we seek. The danger lies within me. Rowan beckons. Nay, not with words. But with his mouth. With

his touch. I vow to resist him. But I can see his want. Feel his desire. He tempts me, heart and soul. I want him to touch me. I want…

Demon of Dartmoor, F.J. Sparrow

Fionna’s heart foundered, then began to thud madly. No, she thought vaguely. It couldn’t possibly be…

The carriage door swung wide.

Fionna waited no longer, but hurtled herself down the steps, nearly tripping over the footman in her haste to be away. At least, she tried to get away.

Aidan’s hand closed firmly about her elbow. Oh, the wretch. He was beside her, matching her, step for step, as if they marched in formation.

Her thoughts were scrambled so that she could barely think. She fumbled in the pretty little handbag she carried. The contents were few. A little coin purse

—why ever had she brought it in the first place? A handkerchief embroidered by her mother. At last! Her fingers closed around the key and brought it up.

She tried to thrust in the lock and missed; Aidan’s shadow blocked the light from the moon—on purpose, she was certain of it!

The key fel to the ground. Aidan scooped it up, neatly pushed the key in the lock, and opened the door.

Fuming, Fionna stepped into the entryway and spun around quickly…alas, not quickly enough. He’d already closed the portal.

Her chin tipped high. “Good night, my lord,” she said calmly, “and thank you for a most charming evening.”

He was having none of it. “Shal we continue our discussion upstairs?”

“I wasn’t aware we were having a discussion!”

“We are,” he said firmly. “Or at least we wil be soon.”

Fionna stood her ground, her back to the stairway.

He gave a mock sigh. “Oh, come, Fionna. Aren’t you curious what I was going to say? Or could it be that you already know?”

She glared at him.

Aidan placed his hands at his waist and widened his stance. His stance managed to infuriate her even more.

“Oh, dear,” he said smoothly. “Forgive me for being so inconsiderate. The hour is late. You must surely be tired. Perhaps I should carry you instead.” His eyes were alight with a gleam most wicked. “I should quite enjoy that, I think.”

Fionna whirled and stalked up the stairs.

Once they were in her apartments, she faced him squarely. Oh, but his smile was so smug, his tone so mild.

“Your expression leads me to believe you’d like to deliver me a blow squarely in the bel y. Or perhaps slap me soundly on the cheek.”

“I should like to do both,” Fionna said from between her teeth.

“I fear you’d inflict little damage, my love.”

“Real y?”

“Real y.”

“Then I must remind you of the night we met, Aidan. The night you enlightened me as to the…vulnerable areas of a man’s anatomy. My memory is quite

vivid,” she said sweetly. “The face, you said. The eyes, if one is able. The chest or
