He felt her distress rise, could feel her need for disbelief, and yet there was a sht as he closed his eyes and focused on her, listening to her mind come to terms with this revelation
Well, there’s the clincher, Jacque thought Ito hear a voice, what are the chances it would have a Romanian accent? To Fane’s and evidently her surprise, she started to laugh, not just a giggle but a full-out, body shaking laugh For some reason unbeknownst to Fane, it just suddenly struck her as funny Of course she noasn’t just a voice, it was Fane After all she didn’t know any other Romanians, and just to put the nail in the proverbial coffin, she asked in a soft, almost shy voice,"Fane?"
His heart stuttered at the sound of his nah it wasn’t fro from her A srowled in content of hi her to believe him without a doubt
"Da,for her response, scared that she would continue to try and pass this off as her lack of sanity What would he do if she refused to take her place at his side? He hadn’t even considered the idea of her not accepting hiht Mates were bound to each other; there would never be another for either one of thee there had never been one who had rejected theiraction for both and neither would ever be whole again
That just wasn’t acceptable, he decided He would drag her back to Roht, Fane, he told himself That would really earn her trust You can’t just hit her over the head and drag her around by her hair, even though that would actually be the easier road No, he was going to have to do this the honorable way and court her Jacque deserved that, after all She was his Luna, and would be Queen of the Canis lupus one day – she deserved his unwavering love and devotion And she would get nothing less
He continued to wait for her response He thought about reaching out to her to find out what she was thinking, but up til now he had been giving her privacy, only intruding into her thoughts when he spoke to her It would be a violation to listen to her when she didn’t know that he could do so any tiht in her head And as a gentleman he would not violate his Luna’s privacy, mate or not
Fane decided to let her be for now She needed tiuy she h her thoughts That was a lot to absorb He would wait to see if she would seek him out He only hoped that he and his ould be patient The mate bond called to him and demanded an answer
Chapter 7
Jacque’s eyes snapped open at the revelation that was causing her to hyperventilate Fane! The voice was Fane! Once he had answered her, she believed without a doubt that she wasn’t just hearing a voice ible, andwell, hot! Not that hiht to herself But it seriously didn’t hurt
No longer able to lie still, Jacque got up and went over to herShe opened the blinds and looked across the street at the Henrys’ house, wondering what Fane was doing Wondering if he ondering about her Oh, good grief, she told herself You justif he’s thinking about you? Do yourself a favor - get a Kit Kat and give yourself a break
She closed the blinds and leaned back against the wall, shutting her eyes After taking a deep breath, she decided she needed to do so to keep herself occupied until Sally and Jen came back over There was a pile of dirty clothes on the floor next to her closet, she grabbed the empty laundry basket, filled it, and carried it downstairs to the laundry roo on all four cylinders, she didn’t even bother to sort theether and tossed soent on top of the room
"Okay," she said out loud "What next?" She turned in a co her eyes roa she could see was that the living rooot supplies fro roos out, she sprayed each ite cloth By the ti room had never been so clean
She put the dust cloth and spray away and then her clothes were ready to go into the dryer
When she finally looked at the clock, she moaned as she realized it had only been an hour since she’d coo over to the Henrys’ and see if they were done with mom’s dishes, she told herself Yeah, Sherlock, that wouldn’t be obvious at all
Jacque headed back up to her roos she could do to keep her mind off you-knoho, at least until Sally and Jen were back When she shut her bedroo suit she had hanging on the doorknob "Okay, sun tanning it is," she said to herself
Jacque grabbed the bathing suit and went to the bathroos and decided they were s on a towel in the backyard She looked in the h, she supposed She was a little on the short side at five foot one and a half inches, slender and irls’ tennis tea the Bounty Hunter in the chest department, as Jen had so nicely pointed out, but she wasn’t Grace of Will and Grace either She figured a C cup wasn’t anything to co about herself: auburn, curly, and wild Most of the ti she decided to put it up in a ponytail
The bathing suit was a bikini that she’d let Sally and Jen talk her into Though, she did get her two cents in by buying a ured if she liked two different bathing suits, why not buy half of each? With that reasoning it’s no wonder I’ht, I don’t look too shabby She slipped on her pink flip flops, grabbed her cell, iPod, towel, and sunglasses, and was out the back door
