Chapter Fourteen

Wyoming

Nik drove the black Jeep Commando up the plowed driveway. He slowed as he passed under a sign that read “Blackthorne Farms”. On either side of the writing was the silhouette of a black rearing horse. Beneath the front hooves sat a sapphire blue oval with a sword in it. The sword wrapped four times by a thorny rope.

He let his gaze travel over the horses out in their snow-filled corrals. Stopping the Jeep, he shut off the engine and got out. The January air whipped around him, and he took a deep breath. In one paddock stood a black equine all alone. A shiver shot through him.

“Ares,” he murmured. The last time he’d seen him was the night Kit had disappeared, centuries ago. Ares snorted and pawed at the ground, sending snow flying. The massive head snapped up, ears pricked forward and a slight whinny left him. The slam of a door reached Nik followed swiftly by a gentle voice.

“Hi. Welcome to Blackthorne Farms. Can I help you?”

“I certainly hope so,” he said with a smile. Nik turned and winked at the woman his brother loved. “I’m looking for my brother and his woman.”

Kit looked pretty much the same as he recalled. A few more curves but no less beautiful. Her mercurial gaze widened, and her hand covered her mouth before she dropped it.

“Nikolas? Is it really you?” she asked.

“Hello, Kit.” He bowed. “You’re still a beautiful lady,” Nik said in Russian.

“Oh, my God!” she screamed, launching herself into his arms. “Marcus! Marcus! Get out here.” Kit choked him, her grip was so tight.

“Kit! What’s wrong?” A deep voice thundered.

Nik looked over the hood of the Commando toward the direction the protective masculine timbre had come from and inhaled sharply as his gaze landed upon his brother. Marcus glanced back at him, confusion in his green eyes. Slowly, Nik placed Kit back on the ground and headed to his sibling. For a short moment, they stood there, seeming oblivious to the winter air blowing around them.

“I’ll be damned,” Marcus said.

Nikolas grinned and pulled him in for a powerful hug. “It’s good to see you, brother. By the gods, it’s good to see you.”

With suspiciously shiny eyes, Marcus drew back and said, “Come on in. We have a lot to catch up on.”

Kit on one side and Marcus on the other, Nik walked up into their house. Once out of his coat, Kit reached out and touched his arm. “I’ll go fix us some food. Why don’t you two catch up.” Her smiled filled her face. “It’s so good to see you.” With a kiss on the cheek, she headed off, stopping at a doorway and waving at them.

“This way,” Marcus said. Nik followed him, admiring the homey feel to the place. They entered a sitting room where a fire burned welcomingly in the corner fireplace. Marcus sat and looked up at him. “Sit down and start talking.”

“You seem happy,” Nik said, lowering himself to a couch across from his brother.
