Chapter 14

Plaiting her hair, Una tucked the ends beneath the collar of the cover Liam had fashioned for her. The thin leather top barely covered her midsection, and the skirt brushed the tops of her thighs, but it was cover. She glanced around for Liam, who hunkered down on the flat rock above her, his gaze directed to the east. The moonlight bathed him silver, the play of his muscles as he sharpened his axe making her mouth water.

Three days on the move and he showed no signs of resting. The meager stops they made were filled with silence, with worry, and an unspoken need which burned hotter each day.

“What do you see?” Climbing up the slippery rock, she rested a hand on his shoulder as he leaned on the head of his battle axe. Staring out over the red-brown soil, she shivered at the heat that arose around them. Her fingers itched to move, to learn the lines of his body. The need for it clawed at her until she felt ready to scream. In an attempt for some sort of normalcy, Una narrowed her eyes when she caught sight of movement. “What is that?”

“That would be vampire legionaries.” Liam straightened and turned to her.

His hand cupped her hip, sending waves of electricity through her body. She purred softly at the slow sweep of his fingers against her bare skin, her blood heating. She leaned into him, her palms flattening out over his hard chest.

“I imagine they’ve been sent for you.” Liam pressed her hand to his chest over his hearts.

Una shivered at the throbbing beneath her palm, the taut skin, the firm muscle. She licked her lips and glanced away before she could act on the desire to press her lips to his skin and see if he tasted as good as she remembered. “Do you believe they serve her?”

“It is hard to say, little one, but my gut says they are not hunting to save life but rather to take it.”

A thrill raced up her spine at the tenderness in his voice. Turning her head, she glanced up. “I know it is selfish of me to ask, but will you stay...”

“’Tis not selfish to ask for my protection. I offer it willingly.” Liam bent his head, his lips brushing over hers. It was no more than a hint of a touch, but Una felt it right to her soul. It burned like a brand into her heart, warming her as she clung to him. “Come. We must make haste.”

With some effort, Una pulled away from him and followed wordlessly.

Thankful for the shadows of the night, Liam adjusted his cock beneath his clothes as Una fell into step behind him. It was growing harder and harder to not claim what everything within him wanted. He could taste her on his lips, the sweetest nectar he’d ever tasted. He wallowed in the memory of the heat in her eyes, the want, the need. Soon they would be safe. Then he could teach her, take her.
