Chapter 9

The smell of bacon cooking filled Tatiana’s head as she emerged from the deepest sleep of her life. Rolling onto her back, she peeled her eyes open while struggling to get her bearings. The last thing she remembered was that odd sense of displacement as Dominic used the visualization skills to transport them here.

Tatiana shuddered at the memory of the bizarre sensation. It reminded her of being on a roller coaster, that nauseating moment when your stomach drops to your feet. It would be just fine with her if she never used that particular ability again. The mere thought made her queasy.

Pushing herself up onto her elbows, she looked around the unfamiliar room. When she saw the pile of men’s clothing discarded in the corner she realized where she was—Dominic’s bedroom. The room was typically male. Sparsely furnished with only the essentials and no sign of a laundry basket anywhere.

The space next to her on the bed looked as though no one had slept there. Interesting. Mr.-I’ll-say-the-mating-rite-without-asking didn’t sleep with her in his own bed. Memories of their tryst in the barn came flooding back, but she shoved them aside. Toe-curling sex aside, he had no right to say those words without her consent, but in all honesty, given the dire, life-threatening situation they all went through, there wasn’t any room in her heart for anger.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, and she wondered how long she’d been asleep. Glancing at the clock, she saw it was just after midnight, and since Dominic wasn’t next to her in bed, it was a pretty good bet he was responsible for the fantastic aroma filling the cabin. Her stomach growled loudly, and it dawned on her that she hadn’t eaten anything but that apple yesterday morning.

Tatiana sat up and pushed the sheets aside to discover that she was wearing nothing but one of Dominic’s black T-shirts. Her first instinct was to be annoyed that he’d undressed her, but under the circumstances, she figured it was the least of their problems. Besides, it wasn’t like he hadn’t seen her body before. She sat quietly on the edge of the bed and ran her fingertips along her lower lip as she recalled his kisses and the erotic feel of his mouth.

A shiver ran up her back, but she shook it off.

“Get a grip,” she whispered to herself.

Tatiana opened the bedroom door and was hit by another wave of deliciousness. She padded silently across the wooden floor and tiptoed down the steps, doing her best to be quiet, but as her toes hit the first floor landing, Dominic’s deep baritone tumbled around her.

“I was wondering when you were gonna wake up,” he called from the kitchen. “Better get your cute butt in here, or I’m going to eat this midnight snack all by myself.”

Tatiana smiled in spite of the fact that she wanted to be annoyed. Funny. The only other person who could get her to smile when she was pissed was her twin brother, Raife.
