If you want to see your father alive, bring the watch to Abby bridge. Nine sharp.

She grabbed on to his arm, and he tensed at the feel of her delicate grip. “Oh God.” Her shoulders hunched for a second, then she straightened. He fought the wild urge to gather her into his arms.

He cleared his throat. “So someone else requires the watch in order to free your father.”

She looked up at him, her eyes wide and glazed with tears. “Will you help me?”

“Come sit down and tell me all you know.” He led her to the sofa in the sitting room behind her. He turned to the butler. “Some tea for the lady, please.”

“Yes, of course.” And he left them.

“Victoria.” He placed his hand over hers. “Given the unusual nature of the watch, I believe we are after the same thing. There is a real painting that matches the one inside the watch. It is what I am searching for.”

She looked at him, her eyes beautiful round orbs as she bit her lip. “I overheard father mention the painting to someone.”

He nodded, anticipating that one would lead him to the other. With renewed enthusiasm, he took out his iPhone from his inner jacket pocket. Not that he expected it to work, but he could review and take pictures, at least until the battery died.

She pulled away from him. “What’s that?”

“It’s a special tool. I can capture and view pictures with it. See?” He pulled up the picture he’d taken of the Arnolfini Portrait before he’d left. She leaned into his shoulder as she examined the phone. His body reacted immediately to her soft weight against him, making him hard with desire.

Ignore it.

He flipped open the watch, snapped a photo, then showed it to Victoria.

“It’s like magic,” she said amazed.

Then he took a picture of her while she was still smiling. As he admired the results, a lump lodged in his throat. She was absolutely gorgeous and the picture captured her perfectly, with her eyes shining and her moist lips parted.

He gazed into her eyes. “You’re beautiful.” And in that moment, he forgot everything else―her father, his mission, the customs of the day, everything―as he leaned in and kissed her with all the longing that had been building inside of him since he’d crashed into her on the street.

She growled low in her throat, which made him do the same, a deep moan reverberating in his chest. When he pulled away, she was panting for air. “I . . . It’s so hot in here.”

He flew off the sofa and traced over to the fireplace. Did she realize what was happening? That a blood-mating thrall had begun between them? It was an ancient ritual, one they had no control over, that only destiny could command. He’d known there was something special about her from that first moment, but he hadn’t expected her to be his fate. They didn’t even live in the same century! He fisted his hands and his entire body tensed as he fought to resist her overwhelming appeal.
