  “I will dispatch a team posthaste, but, my lady, are you sure you want to bring him here?”

  Why wouldn’t I be? “He’s important to me.”

  Creed nodded. “I only ask because some of your family members have not been happy about their…accommodations.”

  Some? No. Aunt Grace most likely. “I’ll talk to them. We appreciate your hospitality.”

  He gave me a nod before he vanished.

  I had so much more to talk to Creed about, but now was not the time. I’d need every last member of the dark realms if I had a chance of defeating Ainessa, and it was about time they were rewarded for good service. I fully intended to name all of them. It’d be hard to come up with that many names, but I’d manage.

  Heath took his place at my side, capturing my hand. His voice came out soft, alluring, making me aware of his body that was deliciously close to mine. “Might take him a while to find that one.”

  “Why do you say that?” Travis was hard to miss in a crowd with his dark eyes that looked almost black and his bright blond hair. It was such an odd combination. Something nagged at me about him, but I couldn’t name it.

  Heath moved in, crowding me deeper into the room. Tingles exploded across my skin where he touched me. He gave me a look that shot heat to my toes. “Answers later. I’m not waiting another second to have you.”

  My whole body flushed. Tabitha made some excuse to leave that I didn’t make out. I couldn’t hear anything above the beating of my heart.

  Heath pulled me into the corner where more candles illuminated a bed decked out in red velvet. Soft music washed over me. I gasped. I knew that song.

  I’d picked it out a long time ago as the song I wanted to play the first time I…my hand covered my gaping mouth as I took in the rest of the room. Every detail set the tableau of my dreams.

  I turned in Heath’s arms and settled my fingers on his chest. The growing warmth of passion ignited my mind. Seeming to be all I could manage, my voice came out in a whisper. “How did you know?”

  He smiled down at me with his too tempting lips. “I know everything there is to know about you, Rayla.” His eyes grew dark with promised pleasure. The spicy scent that could only belong to him lingered around me, luring me deeper into his spell. “Now, enough talking.” Warm lips met mine, carrying me away to a blissful shore.

  I took everything he gave me before I ventured into my own seduction, setting my fingers to explore every inch of his body. He clasped my hands, stopping my downward progression.

  “Heath,” I said, doubt twisting my insides.

  He stroked my fingers before he placed my arms at my sides. “Not yet.” He gave me a wicked once over then smiled. “First, let me make you mine.”

  I nodded, vaguely aware of his body pressing against mine, of my clothes disappearing, of the warmth of his skin, of his hands straddling my back before he lifted me into his arms.

  My mind surrendered to him completely, no longer capable of thought, all I could do was feel.
