They dined on a rabbitlike creature cooked over a spit and fish grilled on the embers of an open fire along with a selection of green leaves and herbs, reminding Camryn of lettuce. Kaya made flat bread to bake on the fire. A meal fit for kings after the endless ration pouches they’d consumed since leaving the Indy. Camryn licked the grease from her fingers and gave a happy sigh until she realized Ry watched her again. Ever since this afternoon when they’d arrived back from the races to find Luke missing, he’d eyed her with the same look. Sort of hungry and determined. It brought nerves to the surface and the cat tattoo that had appeared on her shoulder had started to ache something fierce. Every time she moved, the fabric of her tunic brushed across the leaping cat, igniting nerves and bringing sexual awareness. Jittery, she cursed under her breath, saying a word her brother would’ve objected to if he’d overheard.

Gabriel wouldn’t have liked it much better but the curse summed up her simmering frustration. The more Ry stared, the edgier she became. Her body tingled in an outrageous manner, her nipples swelled and pulled to achy nubs. Her skin prickled each time she moved and she suffered for it. She squirmed and glowered at Ry, trying to ignore the heat emanating from her weird tattoo. It didn’t make a jot of difference. His wolfish grin brought a rush of arousal. Oops, wrong predator. His big, bad feline grin told her if she didn’t run he’d pounce.

Camryn shot to her feet. “I’m tired,” she blurted. “I’m going to bed.” She bolted, heading to the area where she’d set up her bedding. It wasn’t there.

“Looking for something?” Ry prowled from the darkness and damn if he didn’t look like he wanted dinner.

“My bedding. I think Luke has dragged it away again.”

“For once the foal is innocent.” The glint in Ry’s eyes didn’t diminish. Camryn took a step back, a frisson of alarm trickling down her spine. Mind and instincts warred. She would not touch and give in to her base needs. She would not.

“I don’t understand.” A lie. She understood all too well.

“I’ve arranged some privacy for us. I wanted to…talk.”

Another quick glance at his face told Camryn he didn’t have talking on his mind. “The others will think it’s strange. And it’s very high-handed of you!”

“No, they won’t. Come.” He held out his hand and waited patiently for her to decide on a course of action.

Desire tingled through her limbs, despite the lecture she gave herself every morning about Gabriel, about returning home. Camryn pulled memories of Gabriel to mind with difficulty—his twinkling blue eyes, gentle smile and full head of springy gray curls. His dimple that appeared whenever he smiled and the scent of his fragrant citrus aftershave. She tried to hold the image, almost crying when it flickered and faded, overlaid with Ry’s dominant face and personality.

And during the entire internal struggle the tattoo throbbed, subtly nudging her to go to him, to beg him to rub his fingers across the achy flesh.
