Chapter 12

“Thanks for not using my truck,” Ginger said as they approached her farm and the red pickup became visible through the falling snow. There was impatience in her tone, although Delaney was fighting to keep his hold on her casual.

Brotherly.

Instead of the passionate embrace he wanted to share.

“I’ve been presumptuous enough,” Delaney said. “We need to fix the roof on that barn, too.”

“Damn that Jorge!” Ginger said. “It’s a new barn, too.”

“We’ll fix it as well as we can, then I’ll leave you money to have it repaired properly.”

“Leave nothing but a footprint, huh?” Ginger asked, wry amusement in her tone. “Oh, and a baby.”

Delaney was embarrassed, and Niall’s chuckle didn’t improve his mood. He sounded so callous when Ginger put it that way.

Worse, he was starting to feel callous. He felt Ginger watching him, probably trying to read his thoughts, and kept his expression neutral as the Pyr descended in unison.

“Close your eyes,” he advised Ginger, his tone terse.

“Forget it. I know what to expect, and I want to see all of it.”

Delaney knew from her stubborn tone that he wouldn’t change her mind. He tried to shift quickly to make it easier for her, noting that again she didn’t even allow herself to blink.

When his feet were on the ground and he was in human form, he held her in his arms. She was pale but hadn’t passed out.

“Ha! I did it!” she said, grinning in triumph.

The firestorm burned with greater intensity as Delaney looked down at her, sending sizzling heat from every point they touched. Was it stronger because he was in human form, or stronger simply because they hadn’t satisfied it? Either way, it burned with more vigor, pushing thoughts of anything other than Ginger out of his mind.

Ginger flushed a little as she smiled up at him and he knew their thoughts had turned in the same direction.

“Maybe you guys have somewhere to be,” he said to the Pyr.

Niall chuckled again. “That’s the thanks we get.” “Thank you very much, now go away,” Thorolf said with a grin.

“How about thank you very much, now let’s fix the roof of the barn,” Delaney countered.“Ginger isn’t going to bear the expense of our time here.” Even though he was defending her interests, he felt her withdraw from him. She put one hand on his chest and the heat from her palm shook him to his core.

He wanted to kiss her.

He wanted to seduce her.

He wanted to hear her sigh with satisfaction all over again.

But she didn’t want to have his child alone. He had to respect her wishes; he wanted to respect her concerns, but his body was driving him to do what needed to be done for the Pyr.

Ginger wriggled until Delaney put her on her feet, although he was reluctant to do so. There was something marvelous about the languid rush of desire that the firestorm sent through his veins, and he didn’t want there to be any distance between them. He tried to keep an arm around her waist, but Ginger stepped away from him, her own inclination more than clear.
