Erin knew this shouldn’t have happened. She should be protecting Jared from an involvement that wouldn’t help either of them at the moment, but she hadn’t stopped, hadn’t wanted to stop, and honestly didn’t know if she could have stopped. Everything inside her had been caught up in feeling and knowing the power of his passion.

And though they technically hadn’t had intercourse, a sexual bond had been forged between them—one that she was sure they were both going to regret.

He leaned back from her, an intense question shadowing the iridescent blue of his eyes.

“You find great pleasure with me, yet I feel turmoil. Why?”

How did he know so much of what she felt?

She glanced at Jared’s amulet, hanging between them and touched its smoothness, already prepared for its heat and the tingling of her fingers. “Yes, there is great pleasure with you, but I am torn inside because I don’t know you. I know hardly anything about you. We haven’t had time to—”

“Time?” he said, easing to her side so that he lay next to her on the couch. “Time is irrelevant in bonding to another. Sometimes unity happens in an instant and sometimes millennia can pass before one soul learns to soar with another. You do know me. You know all that matters. You know my spirit, for yours soars with mine, embraces mine. I felt it.” He set his palm over her heart.

“You felt passion, desire, sexual arousal. That’s all different than knowing what love really is. That only comes with time. You have to be patient, and when you understand all of this more, you will know I’m right. And you’re wrong. I don’t know you. I believe you are who you say, a Blood Hunter, a spirit being made mortal, but what does all of that mean now?” She placed her palm against his amulet.

She must have hit a nerve, because Jared pulled his hand from her breast and climbed off the couch. She sat up and belted her robe, needing a barrier between them. She had a feeling she wouldn’t like the answers she’d get. He had said he was doomed. He had said there was no hope for him. He paced the great room naked, and after a few minutes, she held out the blue towel he’d had on.

He frowned at it.

“Please,” she said. “I can’t think with you naked.”

“I think very well when you are naked. Perhaps your thinking isn’t necessary at the moment.”

Erin stood, marched to Jared, and wrapped the towel around his waist. From the look of him, she knew just what he thought of her naked. “Believe me, if I don’t get to think, then nothing you are thinking will ever happen again. I want you to tell me everything about you, even what you told me before. This time I will hear you.”

“What did you hear before?”

“My own thoughts.”

He spoke, and this time she listened to what he had to say about his service as a Shadowman warrior in the Guardian Forces.
