They sat at the other end of the loft, staring out at the Evermooreâs plantation fields through the square-framed loading window. Loganâs bare chest felt incredible pressed up against Melodyâs naked back. His strong arms, his thick legs, all wrapped around her from behind.
âLook out there,â he said, pointing. âWhat do you see?â
Melody peered into the vast, moonlit glade. The manor house sat off to one side, dark and sentinel. Beyond it, the old sugarcane fields, stretching out in every direction. And beyond that, ringing the propertyâ¦
âI see the mist,â she said. âThat weird grey fog.â
It was closer now, closer than ever before. More than half the property was gone. She squinted and could see that it was still moving, still churning. Crawling its way inwardâ¦
âWhen do you think you are,â Lucus asked abruptly.
âWhat do you mean?â
He brushed a lock of hair gently away from her shoulder. Lowering his mouth, he kissed her bare skin there.
âExactly what I said,â he told her. âWhen do you think you areâ¦â
âIn the present?â she laughed. âHere. With you.â
Lucus shook his head. The stubble of his chin brushed against her skin.
âYouâre back,â he told her. âLost. With us. With Evermoore.â
âLost?â
âFor now,â he said. âNot forever.â His hands slipped around her, beneath her breasts. âBecause of this.â
One palm moved upward, grasping the amethyst pendant that rested against her chest. The heart of Isolomara glimmered as he manipulated it.
âIâ I donât understand.â
âLook at the mist,â said Lucus. âSee how close it gets? See how it creeps toward us, toward the manor?â
Melody nodded mechanically.
âIt comes,â he said. âIt always comes. Every time. Itâs always the same.â
âWhy?â
âBecause it has to,â Lucus said. âLike everything else it has no choice. It happened before like this. Everything has to happen the way it always has.â
Melody stared out into the mist. She watched it churn, ripple, move.
âWhat happens when the mist reaches the house?â she asked.
âThen it ends,â said Lucus ominously. âAnd it starts over again⦠with or without you.â
He was fingering her pendant.
Never take it offâ¦
Running his thumb over it, the way Eric had done.
While a guest of the Evermoore you will wear this⦠always.
âWâWhatâs with this?â she asked, closing her own hand over the big amethyst. âWhat does my pendant have to do with anything?â
Lucus slid out from behind her and stood up. Right away her body missed his warmth.
âLet me show you something.â
He crossed the loft and bent to swipe at a pile of stray and hay. When he returned, he was carrying a small wooden lockbox with iron hinges.
âGo on,â he said, holding it out to her. âOpen it.â
Melody took it from him and placed it in her lap. Gingerly she opened it. As the lid came up she took one look inside and gasped.
âExactly,â said Lucus, kneeling reverently beside her. âNow you know.â
