Chapter Six

The three weeks that had passed had been both titillating and trying, Kaige realized as he followed the guard through the castle on his way to meet Mace. With his mind filled with Ambria day in and day out, he hadn’t been able to properly concentrate on his duties as Count. The woman not only consumed his nights but had also taken over his thoughts during the day. At that very moment, he could smell her fruity scent on his skin and it reminded him of how she’d looked when he’d kissed her goodbye that morning.

Her silky raven hair had been messy from their passions, splayed wildly across his mattress. Her lips had been pink and slightly swollen from his kisses. And her bedroom eyes had been sleepy yet cheerful. She was always so damn cheerful.

Pride filled him as he realized he made her that way. He made her happy and vice versa. That notion stuck in his throat and he swallowed it down. No way would he allow himself to fall in love with this woman.

It bothered the hell out of him that she could sense his emotions. Sure, sometimes it came in handy in the bedroom. He found he could direct his passionate feelings toward her and, in turn, she was less and less inhibited. She opened up to him in a way no woman had ever done before. She trusted him. And every bit of faith she put in him made him proud to be her lover. Hell, it made him want to be more than just a bed partner.

Which led to the problem. He feared she could sense him falling into her grasp. His heart was being held by the tips of her pinched fingers and, like it or not, she could choose to let go at any moment.

He supposed that was why he’d been showering her with gifts. In case he fucked up, she’d think twice about breaking it off. It was pathetic, really, how much he 81

lavished her with jewelry and, sometimes, gold. But the gifts made her smile and he found he’d do pretty much anything to make her smile.

Yes, really pathetic.

“You look like shit.” Mace’s voice yanked him from his reverie.

Kaige stopped short and realized he’d followed the guard all the way to Mace’s den. He spotted him leaning against the fireplace with a brandy in his hand and an amused grin on his face.

“Shit?” Kaige resisted the urge to look down at his clothing to see if he’d dressed himself properly. Living as a drifter—a Were without a home—for so long, he hadn’t needed to dress at all. But now that his pack had settled amongst humans he’d had to, er, domesticate himself a bit.

“With that goofy grin on your face. I don’t like it. It means you’re falling for that witch.”

Hell. Kaige had seen this conversation coming; he’d only hoped it wouldn’t transpire today or any time soon. After walking across the room, he poured himself some whiskey and downed it with one gulp.
