Oh. My. God. She’d lied. She blinked. “And you’re here, why?”

“Here at the Castle of Dark Dreams or here in Galveston?” He held up his hand. “Never mind. You probably want to know both.” She nodded.

“Hand me one of those bags of candy.”

Donna picked up Eric’s bag of chocolate-covered raisins and took it to him. She didn’t even consider giving him her cherries. Then she sat down across from him. “Let’s hear it.”

“I’m giving you the short version. I killed one of the favorite warriors of Morrigan, the Irish goddess of war and death.” He popped some chocolate into his mouth to fortify himself.

“Goddess? Gods and goddesses are real?” Like that should surprise her?

“More things than you could ever imagine are real.” His smile was probably meant to reassure her. It didn’t. “Anyway, Morrigan’s vengeance was a real bitch. She cursed me to act as protector for all my dead enemy’s descendants until no one was left. I’m down to one, and he’s living in Galveston. I’ve never seen him, but he’s bound to walk through the castle’s gates one of these days and I’ll know him. All of the damn Kavanaghs look alike. He doesn’t have any kids yet, so if I can stop the descendant thing right here, I’ll be free of the curse.”

Donna could feel her eyes crossing even as she stared. “Okay, I get it. The three of you made up the name McNair so you could pose as brothers. Then what’s Eric’s last name, and why is he here?” Her heart had stopped pounding in her ears, and she was almost sure she wouldn’t have to breathe into a bag to keep from hyperventilating.

“Eric is a Mackenzie, and I think you need to ask him the rest of what you want to know.” Conall stood. “I’ll walk you down to your table. Eric’s sub will take over for the rest of the night, so Eric’ll be free to watch you during your show.” His gaze turned serious. “You can’t be alone at any time until Eric takes care of Taurin.” His grim expression said exactly how permanent the taking care of would be.

Eric sat right behind Donna for the entire show. He alternated between anger and hurt. She’d run from him. Hurt? Human females didn’t have the power to hurt him. But whatever the emotion was, it bothered him. He tried to pull his sense of self-worth around him—the knowledge that he wielded immense power, that he’d lived for centuries before Donna was born and would live centuries more after she died. Right. Now he was depressed.

She didn’t turn around to look at him once, but he could feel her emotions—a mix of unease, curiosity, and . . . yes, desire. He smiled for the first time since he’d entered the dungeon to find Taurin there. If she still desired him, then he had something to work with.
