The lights of the carnival flickered in the distance. Kellsie had no idea how long theyâd been walking but it had to be hours. Theyâd stopped twice for her to have a short rest and once at a small, trickling stream so they could drink. The sky was growing lighter so she knew it had to be close to dawn. She was exhausted and her feet hurt. It had been one heck of a long night.
Somewhere between leaving the cave and now sheâd come to grips with the fact this was real. Marko, Hades, the curse. All of it. So she had to deal with the facts.
One, this wasnât really a movie set. Two, she probably wasnât going to live to spend that lovely money that had already been put in her bank account. Three, Marko really was a shapeshifter and could morph into a bear, which was kind of cool, but scary too. If he had strange powers then Hadesâ demons probably did too. And that brought her to point number four. Hades was real. She knew deep in her soul that heâd been the voice in her dream, the one that had scared her half to death. Which only made sense considering who he was.
But that begged the question, who did the female voice belong to? She didnât want to think about some woman being trapped in Hell. Kellsie shivered and pulled the cloak tighter around her.
And that was another thing. The way Marko had conjured the cloak out of thin air was astonishing. She only wished his powers had allowed him to bring the thing out when theyâd been in the cave. It would have made things much more comfortable. But she understood that his powers were coming back a bit at a time. She was grateful to be wearing the cloak now. Rubbing her hand over the plush fur, she imagined how it would feel sliding over her naked flesh while Marko made love to her.
No, she sternly reminded herself. They had not made love. Theyâd had sex. There was no way they could be in love. Theyâd just met. She didnât really know anything about him other than the fact that he was loyal to his friends and was a god when it came to sex. Both great things, but certainly not enough to base a relationship on.
She had to fight this growing connection she felt toward him. It was nothing more than proximity and the dangerous situation they were facing. It was heightening her emotions and making every reaction more extreme than it would be under ordinary circumstances.
It had nothing to do with the fact that sheâd dreamed of him before she met him. Nor that she felt as though he belonged to her in some strange fashion since she was the one to release him from his captivity. It didnât have anything to do with her deep connection to the bear, which happened to be his animal form. She touched the pendant at her neck to make sure it was safe and snuggled the fur cloak around her.
