“That went well.” Thalia turned away from Leraye and curled into a ball on her side.

Leraye eased down behind her and wrapped a hard arm around her waist. “You had to know the night was doomed to end poorly.”

She might have yelled at him if she hadn't heard the sorrow in his voice. Thalia trailed her fingertips over the deep scars on his arms, testament to his fierceness in battle. She wanted desperately to soothe him. For if she was disappointed, how must Leraye feel? He’d been in love with Zepar for years. “True.”

She lay on crushed grapes. His body cocooned hers from shoulder to ankle. The heavy weight of his arm anchored her in place. Leraye placed a gentle kiss on the sensitive skin behind her ear. Her heart trembled at his attempt to soothe her.

“What do you really dream of?” he asked quietly.

She tensed. “What do you mean?”

“You lied.” He ran his nose along the shell of her ear. His soft breath tickled the sensitive skin.

“No one wants to know what I really want.” She shrugged off her dreams as if they were of no consequence. A heavy despair settled over her. She had made her choices years ago and she had to live with them.

“I want to know.” Leraye rolled her over to face him. His jaw was dusted with the shadow of a beard but his eyes were clear and intent. “You matter.”

Thalia rubbed her thumb over his lips and marveled at how a hard Demon could have such a soft mouth. “It hurts too much.”

“Tell me,” he demanded.

He was a study in contradictions. Hard, muscled warrior. His features were almost harsh in their spareness. Battled-hardened and tough to the core. Except his touch was the gentle, feather light as if she were a precious, delicate flower and he worried of crushing her with his brute strength.

Fine. Thalia replied defiantly, as if daring him to mock her simple desires, “Love. A home.”

“Is this castle not your home?”

“It’s a shelter,” she corrected. “A very nice shelter.”

He seemed to be thinking, his gaze narrowed as he stared at her. “Anything else?”

“A lover.” Her gaze automatically shifted to the heavy arched doors that Zepar had recently stormed through.

Leraye’s callused fingers cupped her cheek and brought her attention back to him. “What if I offered to give you those things?”

He kissed a trail down her neck, and nuzzled the sensitive spot where her shoulder connected with her neck before licking his way to her breasts.

Her heart bump-bumped with a frantic beat. “You are in love with another.” She swallowed away the lump in her throat. She couldn’t speak Zepar’s name.

“Who is to say I couldn’t be in love with you too?” He twirled his tongue around her hardening bud as if trying to coax her body into agreement.

Even as her heart petrified, her body melted. His sensual attention was like a balm to her battered soul. Affection and arousal eddied through her. They would be a good match. And they had at least one thing in common.
