HAWK BLINKED. HE FELT the magic growing within both of them. It felt right for her to say that. So why was he fighting it so hard? Like a slap to the face he knew. She might just be better than he expected. Then he might depend on her. She was supposed to depend on him. He was supposed to be her strength. Her protector. Her provider. He shook his head. His emotions did not make sense. His anger was uncalled for. Perhaps the power the mage had over him was greater than they knew. It was all too much to take in just now.

“All of you! Out!” He waved his hand at the others gathered in his bedchamber. He wanted his wife. Every part of him seemed to be crying out for her. If she would have him, he would show her just how much he cared about her. And possibly just how sorry he was for leaving her like he had. He truly had no idea why he had been so cold and heartless to her. It was not his character. He was no poet, but he was no cad either.

“Cassidy?” Gareth stopped at the doorway and she looked up at him. “Are you sure?”

Hawk clenched his jaw so hard he swore his teeth would break. How dare Gareth step in. How dare Gareth think he would harm his wife. He relaxed when she nodded.

“I’m sure. Leave one outside the door, and I will call out if I need to.”

Gareth nodded and ushered the ladies out the door ahead of him.

She sat up slowly and looked down at the bloody sheets. “What happened?”

He growled as he told her. “I stopped Gareth from trying to help you, the only way he thought he could.” He touched her cheek; her skin was so soft. Her eyes looked swollen and red, as if she had been weeping.

“What did Gareth do?” She asked him.

“You don’t remember?”

“I remember him trying to get me to drink some potion, but I do not think it worked. I remember he was very worried. I read his thoughts. He thought I was dying. That scared me.”

He hung his head. How could he have let things get this way?

“He did. He thought the only option left was to try to take the poison from you as I do.”

She turned a dark shade of red. “But he is not you. He cannot.... I do not...” She stumbled over her words. “To speak so boldly feels wrong.”

He leaned in and kissed her. Resting his palm on the side of her face, he felt her hands come up to hold his there. The tears he could feel on his palm, made his guts churn. It made his instincts to protect her roar. How could he protect her from himself? “Please, forgive me, little one.” He bowed his head to her. “I never meant to cause you this kind of pain, or to block everyone from my thoughts.” He took her hands in his and told her.
