She knew then that the traitor was dead, knew Tienan would tell her no more. “Adrian needs to know.”
“Already done.”
That meant that Tienan had found out something, some pertinent information that he’d felt Adrian needed to know immediately. Or maybe he just wanted to assure Adrian that the security breach had been taken care of. Either way, it was done. “Is he and the rest of the group safe?”
Tienan nodded.
She rested her cheek on his chest, absorbing as much of his heat as she could. A part of her felt sorry for Sandor. His death wouldn’t have been an easy one. Tienan the warrior was very different from Tienan the lover but she loved all of him. Both aspects made him the man he was.
He caught her chin between his thumb and forefinger applying enough pressure to make her lift it until she could see him. Slowly, he lowered his mouth to hers. Her entire body clenched in anticipation.
He hesitated just before their lips touched. “You’re mine.” The low, raspy tone sent goose bumps down her arms. Her nipples puckered into tight nubs. “I’ll do whatever it takes to protect you.”
Knowing he needed the words as much as she did, she responded in kind. “And you’re mine. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect you.”
He smiled then. A full smile with nothing held back. It was breathtaking. Then he kissed her.
They needed to talk. But that would come later.
Much later.
About the Author
N.J. Walters worked at a bookstore for several years and one day had the idea that she would like to quit her job, sell everything she owned, leave her hometown and write romance novels in a place where no one knew her. And she did. Two years later, she went back to the same bookstore and settled in for another seven years.
Although she was still fairly young, that was when the mid-life crisis set in. Happily married to the love of her life, with his encouragement (more like, “For God’s sake, quit the job and just write!”) she gave notice at her job on a Friday morning. On Sunday afternoon, she received a tentative acceptance for her first erotic romance novel,
Annabelle Lee
, and life would never be the same.
N.J. has always been a voracious reader of romance novels, and now she spends her days writing novels of her own. Vampires, dragons, time-travelers, seductive handymen and next-door neighbors with smoldering good looks all vie for her attention. And she doesn’t mind a bit. It’s a tough life, but someone’s got to live it.
N.J. welcomes comments from readers. You can find her website and email address on her author bio page at www.ellorascave.com.
