Bryn slumped against the mattress, her breathing labored. She looked down at Korvain. His huge body pulsed with a juxtaposition of dangerous energy and protectiveness. She squeezed her eyes shut. Gods, if only this was real. If only he would really come to her and make her feel this way. Was it too much to hope for?

Deep down, though, she knew why he couldn’t. She was too afraid of what Odin would think of her. This was the reason Kara had been dismissed from his service. Only virgins could serve the All-Father, although Bryn had never known why. Perhaps it was just Odin’s need to have complete and utter control over them and their lives. Perhaps it had something to do with the power binding them together.

Whatever the reason, one thing still remained true: This could never happen in real life—but in her dreams . . . in her dreams there was nothing to stop her from fulfilling her fantasies.

He was licking his lips, sitting back on his heels while half her body was on the bed and the other half was draped over the side of it. She sat up slowly, aware of how her breasts swayed and the way Korvain’s eyes watched them. He still had his pants on, his erection straining to get free.

“Come up here,” she said, surprised at just how husky her voice sounded. Korvain smiled, revealing the tips of his fangs. He stretched out beside her, his large hands playing across her collarbone, dipping between her breasts. She laughed nervously when he trailed his fingers down the middle of her stomach and gasped when he dipped between her still-sensitive thighs.

“I’ve never let anyone do that to me before,” she murmured.

“What?”

She glanced down to where his fingers were now stroking. “That.”

“Really?”

She flushed at what she was about to say next. “I’m technically still a virgin.” Admitting it now in this dream would be the only time she would leave herself so exposed.

Korvain’s expression sobered and his hand stilled. He withdrew from her body slowly. Bryn reached for the fastening on his jeans, hoping to see how far the dream would take her.

“Don’t,” he said softly. She looked into his bottomless black eyes and frowned. His free hand smoothed the wrinkle away gently. “Let’s just lie together for a little while,” he said.

Confused, Bryn rolled over onto her side to hide her body from him. She didn’t know why, but his rejection felt like a whole lot more than just a simple rejection. He pulled her onto her back, his dark eyes serious.

“Don’t ever hide yourself from me, Bryn.”

Don’t hide yourself? Even in her dreams, she couldn’t allow herself to cross that self-imposed line. She blew out a frustrated breath. “I had no idea I could dream this up,” she muttered. Korvain brought her in line with his body, curling around her spine. His clothes rubbed against her lower body, a heavy reminder of just how seriously fucked up she was where Odin and his wishes were concerned.
