Chapter Six

Dayen paced at the mouth of the cave. The beast’s restless energy and the frequency of Sage’s thoughts had him halfway to crazed. She didn’t want him, had been forced into accepting their union to save her people. Never had the idea that she would be so unwilling ever entered his mind.

Not until her thoughts put it there.

Her rapist was already dead. He should be glad of that fact, but it left him with nothing to do, no way to atone for forcing her into his life. Because if this afternoon had taught him anything, it was that he didn’t just want her, he needed her to keep him whole.

Despite the quagmire of turbulent emotions, his thinking had been clearer in her presence. Before, when he’d bathed her and held her in his arms he’d experienced a blessed silence unlike any he’d ever known. Everything in him had been content to simply stroke her soft skin, inhale her sweet fragrance. He hadn’t lied when he’d said he’d seen all of her. He couldn’t help but look as he’d dried her after the bath. Patted the dark curls between her thighs, glimpsing the hidden pink folds beyond with only the flimsy excuse for a blanket between his skin and hers. He wanted to taste her there in the worst way.

From stray thoughts he’d picked up over the years, Dayen knew that was a Bred trait. Cyborgs tended to mate the way they did everything else—efficiently. Borns were often preoccupied with their own satisfaction, but Breds…

Breds reveled in exploring one another with every sense they possessed.

Isaac’s memories of sex had both unnerved and aroused him. The dead male had taken his time pleasuring his Only One, had loved to lick her between her thighs until she cried out her release. After the dreams had started, Dayen had done his level best to avoid spending anytime with Rothguard and Mel. It was uncomfortable, having such carnal knowledge of his honorary aunt.

But it was Sage he wanted to explore, to lose himself in. Not just her luscious little body, either. Her sharp questioning mind helped him see beyond the stray thoughts of others, to focus on the task at hand.

And she wanted nothing to do with him. He wanted to howl, to run through the barren wilderness rending his flesh from his miserable bones until there was nothing left.

“Berrick?” Her voice, clear as the darkened sky.

He turned, and frowned when he saw her standing barefoot at the mouth of the cave. “That’s a good way to lose a toe to frostbite.”

She looked away, but he heard her thought as clear as if she’d spoken directly in his ear. Heard the shame.

She couldn’t get warm enough.

At once he moved to her side, chastising himself for making her come out to him. He scooped her into his arms and carried her back into the cave, around the bend to the heated spring.

“Your clothes,” she protested as he carried her directly into the warm water. “You don’t have to come in with me.
