Chapter Sixteen

“I am sorry,” Yehfe said. “I did not mean to startle you.”

“No, no.” Her voice stammered. “I came in without permission, I’m sorry.”

Yehfe hated the tremor in her voice. He hated that she looked away from him. He ached in his soul to watch her shoulders hunch in rejection.

“It’s just…” Beulah stopped and then started again. “It’s crazy, but I felt like you needed me. I felt like you wanted me here. That’s why I came.”

Yehfe held his breath. He felt that if he even blinked she would know the truth; that he ached to touch her. That it was more than for the health of his brother. It was for his very livelihood.

The silence stretched between them. Beulah’s smile wavered even more. Her eyes sank down to the floor. And still, he couldn’t move. If he did, he knew he would sweep her into his arms and lay his hands on the exposed bit of skin just above the collar of her blouse.

Beulah turned her attention back to Pakua. Her motions jerky as she pointed to his prone form. “How is he?” she asked.

Yehfe swallowed. He closed his eyes. His brother’s pain was the only thing that could dampen his desire for Beulah.

The reprieve from the first dose of Beulah’s energy had given his brother the strength to gain a foothold on the abrasive substance trying to take his soul. Yehfe felt his brother fighting, but he needed another shot.

Yehfe opened his eyes. Beulah’s fingers hovered over Pakua’s head, but she did not contact his skin.

“He’s feverish,” she said. “And he’s shivering. He must be in so much pain.”

Her gaze was full of concern and compassion for a man who had never spoke a word to her. How could Yehfe not yearn to become lost in her essence?

“When I touched him before you came in, he seemed to settle.” She reached her hand out to Pakua.

Without thinking, Yehfe grabbed her hand before it landed on his brother’s forehead. She gasped at his touch and her eyes locked on his. Was it his imagination or were her brown eyes full of want and desire when her gaze trained on him?

“No.” The single syllable came out of Yehfe as an agonizing plea. “I have told you that touch is powerful to Eloheem. When another soul touches one of us, it forms a bond.”

Her palm turned over in his hand. Their fingers arranged themselves so that they were entwined. Instead of letting go, Yehfe firmed his hold on her.

“Pakua does not want any such bond,” he said.

Beulah’s hand jerked inside his. Her gaze connected with his. Her fingers stilled and relaxed inside his hold. “Do you want such a bond?”

“It is the deepest desire of my hearts; to have a female to worship.”

“Back home, we would call that blasphemy. You are not to worship anyone but the Lord, God.”

“A god is one that gives life. Womb rocks and women are givers of life. For Eloheem, their female bondmate is their god.”

He looked down at their entwined hands.
