CHAPTER FOUR

Abia sank her fingers into Nick’s silky, ink-black hair and purred with pleasure.

It had been a long, long time since a man had excited her to this degree. None of the arrangements her mother had tried to make interested her. None of the Queen’s suitors had had this man’s magnetism, confidence or skill. Who knew a caporal could—

She jerked her head back and struggled to escape his hold.

Breathing as hard as she, he let go, and she stumbled back. “How dare you touch me.”

“I wasn’t the only one with roaming hands, lady.” Wiping the back of his hand over his lips, his gaze flicked to her wand, lying on the floor. “You gonna wave your stick and turn me into a frog?”

She narrowed her eyes. “It’s not a stick. It’s a wand.”

“Sure it is.”

Though everything inside her continued to quake with unresolved desire, she easily called her wand to her hand. The tip alternately glowed red and green, a sure sign she was both pissed and aroused.

“Is that thing like some kind of new age mood ring?” he asked, cocking his head.

“What?”

“I get red indicates anger. What’s green mean?”

“Extreme anger,” she lied.

“I’ll keep that in mind.” He held up his hands. “But you obviously could have picked up your little stick the moment I touched you.”

To argue would be ridiculous. She was more angry at herself than him, but she desperately wished she could ignore the Witch’s Code just once and turned him into a slimy green reptile. Then maybe he wouldn’t look so damn appealing.

And since his hair had gotten roll-out-of-bed mussed by her own hand, her frustration was all the more acute. How had she lost her senses so quickly and completely?

“It. Is. Not. A. Stick,” she repeated.

He sighed.

Oh, sure. According to him, this whole night was a dream. Well, she’d love to wake up about now.

“I’m sorry, my dear, but I’m not sure you’re going to be happy with the results.”

Abia was so shocked by the sudden sound of Malburn’s voice, she almost missed the meaning of his words.

By the Sacred Queen, she’d been kissing a caporal while her uncle was in the next room.

“He’s a Crossover,” Malburn announced.

Abia’s stomach clenched. With Gardiff on the loose, a creature with untested powers could be in grave danger. “You’re sure?”

Malburn drew himself up to his full five feet. “Of course I’m sure. Test him if you don’t believe me.”

Obviously sensing he was the him about to be tested, Nick backed away. “Ah...hey, this has been great, but I’ve got to get back to the station. If you’ll just point out the exit, I’ll be—”

“Stay.” Abia flicked her wand, and he lurched to a stop. She gave her uncle a triumphant smile. “Crossover, my ass.”

“Language, Abia, please.”

“Sorry, Uncle. It’s been a frustrating night.”

Malburn looked confused. “But you found the dagger. What could be causing such emotional turmoil that you’ve forgotten all your manners and...” As his musing words drifted off, a twinkle appeared in his eyes. “Just as I suspected.
