Chapter 8
And the blood runs red on the pristine white snowâ¦
While around all the houses the Christmas lights glow.
MATT STARED OUT THE LARGE BAY WINDOW OF his kitchen at the pounding sea. He frowned at the foaming waves, peering toward the darkness far out in the distance, almost at the horizon where a mass seemed to be congealing. Dark clouds had spread across the entire sky by the time the three men had sifted through the mess in his photography lab. Matt had taken calls from his parents and his brothers making certain he was alive and well and the house was still standing. Kate had received calls from her sisters.
Kate, fresh from her shower and wrapped in his robe, sat in the chair nearest him. âItâs out there, isnât it?â she asked quietly. âIâm sorry about all your equipment.â
He spun around to look at her. âDo you think I blame you for this?â
She hesitated. âI donât think he would have come here if I hadnât been here. I donât know why I draw him,â she said, shaking her head. âMaybe he got my scent in the old mill, or maybe he perceives me as a threat.â
âSo itâs definitely a he. I think itâs taking shape, gaining a form,â Matt said.
âI need to go home and help find the appropriate entry in the diaries. There are quite a few written in the symbols, and my sisters will need help. I donât think we have a lot of time to figure this out, Matthew. Itâs only a few days until Christmas, and I think this thing means to stop the town from having a Christmas.â It sounded melodramatic even to her own ears. How could she expect to have any kind of a relationship with Matthew Granite and still be who and what she was?
âTime enough, Kate. Weâll go right after we take care of things here. I promise.â
She lifted an eyebrow. âWhat things? I thought you and Jonas and Jackson took care of everything.â
Matt padded over to her on his bare feet and simply lifted her in his arms. âIt takes some getting used to.â
Kate clasped her fingers at the nape of his neck. âIâll admit Iâve never faced anything like this before.â She wanted him. Suited or not, for just this space of time, Matthew belonged to her.
âI wasnât referring to our foggy fiend. I was referring to you. Having you in my house. Having you right here where I can look at you or touch you.â He set her on the tiled counter and slid his hand inside the warmth of the robe.
He loved her instant response, the way she pushed into his hand. Welcoming him. âRemind me to thank your sister for the warning.â Matt leaned forward to take her offering into the warmth of his mouth.
âI think youâre a breast man,â she teased.
âMmmm, maybe,â he agreed, his hands sliding down her waist and over her hips inside the robe. âBut you also have a beautiful butt, Kate.
