Chapter Fourteen

Rivka surprised herself with her boldness. While she had no trouble working and pushing toward what she wanted, it had always involved career goals, not personal relationships. No male had ever been worth going outside her comfort zone before.

Had she really told him he was pretty before she’d lost consciousness? The memory was hazy but there. Maybe she’d only thought it. Somehow, she didn’t think she was that lucky. He hadn’t mentioned it, so neither would she.

He looked anything but pretty now. Intense and dangerous were two words that came to mind. A muscle worked in his rigid jaw, but the heat burning in his eyes sent her temperature soaring.

The nutrition from the drinks he’d poured down her throat seeped into her cells, energizing her. That, along with the short rest, had replenished her. But it was Sven who made her feel alive.

The pulse in his wrist raced beneath her fingers. It was so broad she couldn’t close her fingers around it. He wore a bracelet that really wasn’t big enough, the beads spaced apart, showing the stretched elastic. She rubbed her thumb over a rounded piece of amethyst. She loved semiprecious gemstones for their energies, and this piece of jewelry included rose and clear quartz, two more of her favorites. Not what she would have expected from him. Maybe something solid and metallic, like the one he’d put on her. Nothing quite this delicate.

Wait a second.

Leaning forward, she examined it more closely. Damn her eyes for not working properly. She practically had her nose pressed against his hand so she could see the tiniest filigree details on the silver beads.

She raised her head. “I had one just like this.” Even with his face slightly blurry, his features appeared hard, hewn from stone.

“I found it in Istanbul.”

“You found it in Istanbul.” She sounded like a parrot but was too shocked to care. “This is mine, isn’t it?”

“Yes.” If his jaw got any tighter, he was going to crack a bone. His gaze was steady and apologetic.

“You kept it?” It was mind-boggling that he hadn’t tossed it. It wasn’t particularly valuable in terms of money, only in sentiment. “Where was it?” She’d been able to take so little with her on the run that she’d hated to lose the piece.

“Under the bed.”

“Ah.” She hadn’t bothered to look in her rented room, assuming it had broken and slipped off her wrist at some point when she’d been going to and from work. She hadn’t missed it until she’d gone to bed one night. “I bought it from an old lady in the marketplace.” It had cost money she couldn’t really afford to spend, but the woman had looked as though she’d needed it more. “She told me it would bring me luck.”

The corners of his mouth turned upward. “It brought me to you.”

“I’m not sure if that was good luck or bad. Maybe fate,” she muttered.

His burgeoning smile disappearing, he tugged his hand from her grip. She wished she could take back her words.
