matter. But BaтАЩnari refused to leave Kellyn until KellynтАЩs death, and because Rowena loved her mother,
she was happy BaтАЩnari was still in her possession.

She sighed and studied the scarce trees lining the rutted road. Not much cover, but the night was clear,
the stars bright. Anywhere would be as good as anywhere else. She was tired now. The rush of
adrenaline from the fight, the sudden appearance of her erstwhileraynei , the loss of sleep over the past
week left a toll on her body. She needed rest. When they neared a grassy clump, she stopped.

тАЬIтАЩll bed down here. Feel free to go somewhere else. In fact, please go somewhere else.тАЭ She ignored
KaelтАЩs raised brow, his sardonic expression. She dropped her pack on the grass and pulled out her
bedroll and blanket. When the pallet was made, she hit the release on her chest for the strap holding her
scabbard across her back, set scabbard and sword next to her makeshift bed and crawled under the
blanket. She wrapped a hand around the hilt of her sword, letting its familiar touch give her comfort. Then
she closed her eyes, trying her best to ignore the still looming Heron.

And because of her exhaustion, she succeeded in ignoring him for all of three seconds. Then he moved,
sitting on the grass next to her. A moment later, she felt the heat of a fire. She frowned, glanced at the
glowing ball hovering just in front of Kael. With a grunt that could have been interpreted as a thank you if
he were feeling generous, she turned her back on him and his magical fire and shut her eyes.

She had to suppress a moan when he stretched out behind her and spooned up against her back. тАЬWhat
do you think youтАЩre doing?тАЭ she demanded, but her voice sounded breathy, not dismissive as sheтАЩd
intended.

тАЬKeeping you warm.тАЭ His hot breath brushed across her neck, making her shiver.

тАЬIтАЩm not cold.тАЭ

тАЬYouтАЩre trembling.тАЭ

Damn. How did she explain the trembling without admitting her desire? тАЬI canтАЩt sleep like this,тАЭ she said
instead.

тАЬThen weтАЩll find something else to do to pass the night.тАЭ

His hand slid across her waist. The feel of his big palm spanning her stomach, his thumb nearly touching
the underside of one breast, made her entire body flush with hot need. Gods, he felt fantastic. His hips
pressed up against her bottom, giving her a tantalizing feel of his erectionтАФa hard, thick bulge encased in
tight leather. Her eyes rolled back in her head, and against her will, she found herself grinding her ass
against that bulge.

тАЬRowena,тАЭ he groaned into her hair, and the hand on her stomach flexed, inching lower.

Oh no.She lurched up and scrambled a few feet from the pallet. This was not going to happen. Not
now. Not ever. SheтАЩd rather die a virgin. Even if the very idea pissed her off as much as anything else
Kael had ever done. тАЬI told you no,тАЭ she hissed, backing farther away as he eased into a sitting position.
тАЬI donтАЩt want you.тАЭ

тАЬLiar.тАЭ
 тАЬFuck you.тАЭ She spun around and stalked off into the trees. She hadnтАЩt gotten more than a few feet
