Chapter Five

Kenric’s face was expressionless and closed off. It was a look Saffron didn’t like seeing at all. He was pushing her to admit things she wasn’t even ready to admit to herself. Studying him, Saffron wondered how he had got under her skin so damn quickly.

“If this was just business I wouldn’t ask for your help. I would go around you. Hell, I’d go through you to get what I want done. It is because this is personal that I have not.” Saffron frowned, realising what she was saying.

It was indeed personal. Very personal. Something she had never allowed. Until now. She stepped back. Kenric put his hand on her waist, pulling her into his body. His intense eyes seemed to strip her bare. It was a feeling that she did not like at all. Saffron steeled herself. She was a goddess and no man would get the better of her. Kenric cupped her cheek with his other hand.

“This is personal to me too. Saffron, I love you.” Kenric’s deep voice resonated though her.

Saffron’s breath shuddered out of her. Closing her eyes she was undone by his declaration. No. It was not possible that this human could love her. Not so suddenly.

“I know we have much to learn about each other, that we haven’t known each other long, but I am sure about one thing—I want you in my life. Tell me you want the same.” His tone was demanding.

Saffron opened her lids, staring at him. The surety in his voice matched his expression.

“I want the same. Kenric, I love you. But be very sure of what you are asking. Will you be able to accept all that I am?”

Kenric didn’t hesitate. “I accept every ornery, argumentative inch of you”

“Wow. That’s so romantic,” she said dryly.

“Hey, you’ll have to accept me for all that I am too.” Kenric shrugged.

“I guess so.” Saffron chuckled.

Kenric joined in then kissed her thoroughly. Saffron moaned, leaning into him.

“Are we going to work or are you two going to neck all day?” Shade’s voice came from beside them.

Saffron pulled back a bit, turning her head to meet Shade’s amused gaze. He leaned on the rock wall next to them.

“Aw. Did you want a kiss too?” Saffron teased.

“If he wants to lose his teeth,” Kenric growled.

“You can try,” Shade said languidly.

“Behave.” Saffron gave Kenric a quick peek, pulling away to face Shade. “Stop trying to get a rise out of Kenric.” Saffron walked away with Shade and they headed back to rejoin the others.

“Boss man can handle it,” Shade said.

“He can. But I like you and wouldn’t like to have to pick sides. I’d have to hurt you, and that would get messy.”

Shade stared at her then laughed. “Yeah, that makes me so afraid. Do you see my goose bumps? Not. I don’t think you can hurt anyone.”

Saffron didn’t correct his assumption. They got back to work. As she took samples, she could feel Kenric watching her. She didn’t look at him as she would be tempted to zap them somewhere to have her way with him.
