Chapter Thirteen

If it weren’t for magic, Rochelle would have been dead on her feet and surely physically incapable of moving by the time she and Aric made an appearance in the dining room for breakfast. Which in itself was a little odd. Aric had been vociferously, repeatedly possessive from the very beginning of their lovemaking, but sitting as they were in their usual seats at the table, she felt a flicker of confusion. How was she supposed to behave toward him in the light of day? Around others?

“Breakfast will be out momentarily,” Tinsley said as he set the final drinking cup on the table. He nodded at them both, then soundlessly disappeared into the next room.

Aric reached for his coffee and a low chuckle wafted from him. “Are you actually awake?”

She opened her mouth to point out that she had no rational right to be, despite that there was no way he’d forgotten having literally given her a magical stamina boost less than thirty minutes earlier. “I don’t know,” she said instead. She attempted to match his grin and made herself reach out for her own coffee and the liquid sweetener Tinsley had also provided. “You’re a beast.” The most amazing kind of beast. She hadn’t known her body was capable of reaching those highs—and she prayed it wouldn’t need too long to recover before she tried again.

“I did warn you.”

She nearly choked on her first sip of coffee.

“Here you are,” Tinsley said, suddenly leaning between them bearing a tray laden down with delicious smelling foodstuffs. Her stomach growled audibly before he’d even set the largest of the plates in front of her, but he didn’t bat an eye. “I was worried you’d be rather hungry, considering how little you ate yesterday, Miss Rochelle. Please let me know if you’d like anything else.”

Between the two-plate meal and the dish of warmed pull-apart rolls, the idea of needing more to eat was immediately absurd to her. But she smiled, aware that Tinsley took his responsibility as caretaker of the estate and its occupants very seriously, and said, “This looks fantastic, Tinsley. If you gave me any more, I think I’d burst.”

She got a twitch of a smile for her effort. Then he promised to refill their coffees and scurried silently back into the other room.

Rochelle was happily chewing her first bite when Aric spoke up again, his voice a bit quieter and lacking the lightened tone he’d teased her with. “I know what I said last night, but it’s important you understand you do have a choice.”

She lowered her fork and swallowed carefully as she tried to remember a statement she might have not paid enough attention to. Perhaps he’d said something she hadn’t fully heard during a resting moment when she’d been more focused on regaining her breath and the feel of his arms around her? But that didn’t seem right. “What do I have a choice about?”

Aric set down his mug and reached over, his arm easily covering the corner distance between them, until he’d guided her hand into his.
