"If you want me to leave I will But I can tell you no more I’m sorry Truly, I am You wouldn’t understand" Her eyes leveled with his, challenging hiaze for a full er interested in eating "It’s late Let’s get some sleep"

Myra followed hi leton the bed "I’m just down the hall"

"Thank you"

You can thankoodnight and walked away

Before he made it to his room, he heard her whisper, "I’ve already told you too much" He stopped dead in his tracks and looked back at the door to her rooet Maybe he could get her to open up htly open, he listened to her movements He heard the soft click of her door and the creak of the bed as it gave under her weight

Nohat the hell aered in the hot shower she was quickly growing to love The endless supply of hot water washed away her trepidations She had slept better than in the hospital In fact, she’d restedat her reflection in thecircles beneath her eyes She had been so nervous about her journey into the future she hadn’t slept for weeks prior to the trip

There were so s Tara had prepared her for, and soa brush through her hair, she thought of the men who attacked her They scared her more than she wanted to admit The harsh reality of life without her family crushed down on her in thoseher to the future Grainna needed a Druid virgin to break her curse and would have done everything within her power to capture Myra, and kill her

She was on her own

Except for allant as any knight More so when she realized they shared a hoht and never once did she feel her virtue threatened

Todd Blakely was no ordinaryin return Well, perhaps a feers, but that was all I’llin the only change of clothes she brought, she cleaned the clothes worn the previous day and placed the the bathroom in search of food and Todd

Todd stood in the kitchenher eyes, Myra savored the rich aro to love coffee No wonder Tara put it on the list of things to bring back with her when she went ho as if he had just stumbled out of bed and into the kitchen His bare y cotton pants hts remove their shirts on occasion after an intense battle or during heavy training, but Todd?

Todd’s ease with his nudity had her sing saliva down a dry throat She licked her lips and prayed he wouldn’t notice her unease

Watching from lowered lashes, Todd took in her bare feet and wet hair God she was beautiful Fresh He tried not to stare, but her face was a net His body reacted recklessly, just like his ht before

He hadn’t slept ith her in the next room

It wasn’t until the predawn hours that his lids finally shut Now, he hovered over the coffee pot wishing theto do with his hands other than picturing the," she offered

"You look rested"

"I am, thank you" She cleared her throat "Your home is very quiet"

"Hummcoffee?" he asked when the pot was half full

"Oh, yes, please I just love your coffee here"

She took the cup

"They don’t have coffee in Scotland?"
