Fate is the life we’re given. Destiny
is what we do with it.
Captured as a child and forced into slavery by the Rebellion’s leader, Brenna Haven was raised in near isolation with the utmost cruelty. She knew nothing of kindness or compassion until Fate orchestrated her rescue. Finally free, she wants nothing more than to return to her home. To reconnect with her human family and live a simple, quiet life. But her newfound powers demand an entirely different future. One fraught with danger and a terrifying role in an ancient Myren prophecy.
A battle-hardened warrior and sworn bodyguard to the king, Ludan Forte wields a powerful, memory stealing gift. But his skill comes with a price. A torturous burden he’s hidden since his awakening over a hundred years ago. He never dreamed he’d find relief, let alone be tempted to forgo his vows to the king. Yet in Brenna’s sweet beguiling presence, the weight he bears is lifted. And when her role in the prophecy threatens her life, he’ll stop at nothing to keep her safe.

Warmth and a soft tickle skated along
Brenna’s jawline. Lips, the same full, delicious ones she’d
craved since Ludan had kissed her, the scruff of his beard leaving
the same unforgettable impact as his mouth. His wavy hair slid
through her fingers, a weighted silk that teased her forearms. He
slanted his mouth across hers and licked inside.
Perfect. The slide of his tongue, his
taste, the way he groaned into the kiss and sent perfect trills
coursing down her spine. Nothing on earth was better.
He lifted his head. His ice-blue eyes
glowed with need and so much passion it resonated in her soul. “This
is what you want.”
Odd. It was Ludan’s voice, but her
own was superimposed with it. And it wasn’t a question, but a
statement.
Candles surrounded them, and a scarlet
satin comforter stretched beneath them.
Not real.
“This is what you want,” Ludan said
again, ghosting his knuckles along her collarbone and slipping his
fingers beneath the neckline of her nightshirt.
Her heart leapt at the touch, his
caress only hinting in the direction of her breast, but drawing her
nipples to hard points. “Yes.”
He smiled and lowered his gaze, a long
lock of hair falling over his forehead. “So beautiful.”
Cool air assaulted her flesh, sending
goose bumps along her torso. Her nightshirt was gone, whisked away by
her dreams.
Inch by inch, he trailed his fingertips
down her sternum, his expression so reverent and caring she was
afraid to move.
He cupped one breast, and she arched
into the contact, too overwhelmed with the sensation to do anything
but close her eyes and surrender to its magic. She tightened her grip
on the back of his head, urging him closer. “Ludan, please.” She
didn’t know what it was she needed, only that she did, and badly.
“Shhh.” He dipped his head and
smoothed his lips along the path his fingers had taken.
More.
Over and over, the word echoed through
her head. Nothing else mattered except the feel of him against her.
His weight, the warmth of his skin, and the safety of his arms. She
closed her eyes and splayed her hands across his wide shoulders. So
much strength. Power as rigidly contained as the man. “Ludan.”
One of his big hands cupped her
shoulders, and his lips disappeared.
She squeezed her eyes and willed them
back. “Ludan, please.”
He spoke again, but this time it was
different. Farther away and muffled. “Brenna.”
No.
She rolled her head back and forth on
the pillow. No, no, no. She couldn’t lose him. Not again. She
hadn’t done anything wrong this time. Had she?
The hand at her shoulder tightened.
“Brenna, wake up.”
Heat registered beside her. Not the
kind from her dream, but real. Tangible, deliciously masculine heat
and muscle.
Her eyes snapped open.
Ludan lay propped on one elbow beside
her, the other hand holding her shoulder as she’d felt in her
dream. In the daylight, his form was intimidating, but in the night’s
shadows, he was downright scary. “You okay?”
Not really. Sweat misted her skin, and
her heart jack-rabbited in an out-of-control rhythm. The covers were
too heavy, pressing against her tight breasts. She shifted her legs
and nearly moaned at the throbbing pulse between them. “I’m
fine.”
The comment earned her a sharp frown.
He relinquished his hold and leaned back far enough that the bay’s
moonlight brought him out of shadow. At some point after she’d
fallen asleep, he’d removed his T-shirt, leaving his perfect body
on prime display. “You didn’t sound fine.”
She pushed upright and leaned against
the headboard, careful to hide her aching nipples with the sheet.
Looking at him only made the ache worse. In that moment, she’d give
a lot to let her fingers have free rein. “It was just a dream,”
she whispered.
He stared at her, then lowered his gaze
to her clenched fists in the sheets. “You’re afraid.”
“No.” It came out too fast, and his
eyes snapped to hers. “I mean, it was an intense dream, but not
something I’m afraid of.”
An odd look flittered across his face,
caution or suspicion. “Tell me.”
This is what you want.
Clearly, her subconscious wasn’t in
the mood to mess around. And while she’d happily go there in dreams
every night, she wasn’t so sure Ludan would appreciate the concept
of them together as much as she did. Especially after what had
happened last time.
“I…” What could she say? “I’m
not sure it’s something you’d want to hear. It was personal.”
His eyes narrowed. “Personal, as in…”
“Personal.” She pulled her knees up
and wrapped her arms around them. “It was about the two of us.”
His head snapped back, and his
breathing accelerated. He clenched the sheet at his waist, and his
nostrils flared. “What about us?”
A strange yet not unpleasant sensation
swirled low in her belly, and the pulse between her legs ramped to
blistering demand. She could keep the dream to herself. Never say a
thing and let it slide.
Or she could take a chance.
She licked her lower lip. “We were
intimate.”
