Chapter 30

“Do you think they can find us here?” Regan lay on a blanket over flat rock, her bare skin soaking up the high altitude sensation of cool air and tingling hot sunshine. She let herself float in it, still replete with her response to Kai’s love—her body still sensitive from his fingers, still pulsing intimately from the moments she’d twined her legs around him, her heels digging into the hard curve of his low back and lean flanks, his name on her lips.

His breath gusted out, not quite so much sigh as the expression of a frown. He rolled smoothly to his feet and moved a few steps away, stretching with languid grace.

She didn’t open her eyes; she knew where he was. That he stood on the edge of the outcrop, looking out on the land from the very same place she’d stood not so long ago—the place from which she’d finally found him...and in the process, found herself.

Eventually, he said, “Now that they know of me, they can find me anywhere. They can find us.”

She took a moment to absorb the truth of that.

Not that she hadn’t known it. Joe Ryan and Lyn Maines were more than just reasonably local Southwest Sentinels. Joe Ryan spent his time in Flagstaff, Arizona, monitoring the San Francisco Mountains...shepherding them. As Kai did, he spoke to the land...if not its essence so much as its power flows, and on an entirely different level.

A much bigger and louder level.

It was hard for him to hear what Kai could do; it was impossible for him to perceive the Core as Kai did. But given purpose, he could and would track them down.

Whereas Lyn Maines would never lose them. Not the woman who could taste the merest hint of a Sentinel’s personal trace.

Regan wrinkled her nose under the sunshine. If there were two individuals more capable of tracking them down, she couldn’t imagine it.

“I guess I knew that,” she said, brushing a hand across her stomach in reminiscence of his recent touch.

“If they were going to follow us, they would be here by now.” His voice sounded distant; her mind’s eye filled in his expression—eyes half-closed, his face a thing of wild beauty, hair glinting black and the lines of his cheek and jaw strong beneath the sunshine, hard muscle strong beneath gleaming skin.

“I guess I knew that, too. I just can’t help...” Restless, she sat, wrapping her arms around upraised knees.

They’d been nonplussed, Joe Ryan and Lyn Maines—and a man named Nick Carter, who was their Southwest consul boss, and who spoke to them from Tucson through an equally bemused woman named Annorah, whose communication skills made her the hub for the entire region.

Brevis, they called that.

Regan had a lot to learn. And so did Kai.

But it seemed that they would, for now, learn it right here.

Lyn Maines hadn’t liked it. “One hell of a mess,” she’d said, there in the long-distance conversation that everyone but Regan could hear—even Kai, now that he’d been found and included, had a sense of Annorah’s mind voice.
