Lynn had been right Only a couple moments had passed since Cilya had left her side, but Dovia was already showing signs of distress Her lips parted as little whi on the covers

Daegan's gaze shifted to Rand He'd figured it out, too It wasn't likely a vaht be a passable second, but he suspected Lynn had said Dovia had asked about both of them just to be courteous

Not likely You underestiirl feels toward you, vampire Rand moved toward the bed

Cai let it lie, but stayed at the stairs, watching hi they ith a full-sized bed You wouldn't fit on a twin by yourself, let alone with her, no matter how petite she is

No twin beds in the house, Rand responded Shifters rarely sleep alone Giving wolves fro up is a waste of money

Rand slid in behind Dovia He wore the shorts but nothing else She iainst his broad chest, fingers curling in his chest hair

Cai noted the two cots near Daegan's Lynn ood hostess However, she an, since Cai was pretty sure the Council's pit bull was genetically engineered not to sleep, ever If he did, it would be long after Cai had to succue difference He wondered where Gideon was, and then realized the obvious; the ht hours
