Page 7 of Her Silent Knight

“Make sure you send one of your guys to Winter’s place to tell her what happened here.”

“I will do that for you. Rome,” Rhen called to one of his guys. “Go to Winter’s cottage. Her place is warded, you’ll have to throw ice at her front door to get her attention. Tell her about Sin and the shifter.”

Rome nodded. A few seconds later he was heading in the direction of the Frozen Region. Rhen returned his attention to her.

“Witch, I seem to do a lot for you. Are you sure we shouldn’t become fuck partners?”

Sin chuckled. Rhen had no chill button. He was always full steam ahead. And he said whatever came to his mind.

“Yes, Rhen. I’m sure we shouldn’t become fuck partners.”

“I’ll try again next time.”

“How about you try loading him onto your bike. I’ll ride with Nathan.”

“You’ll ride with me. Nathan will load the shifter. Hey, Nate,” Rhen called to his right-hand man. “Load Kaede onto your ride. We’re taking him to my woman’s house.”

“I’m not yours, Rhen.”

“Yet. Get on. You can wear my helmet.”

She waited until she was seated behind him with his helmet on before whispering. “I told you to stop calling me your woman in front of your bandits. I’m not yours.”

“Why?”

“Because fire witches can’t date vampires.”

“I promise not to kill you.”

Sin chuckled. “We are not compatible.”

“Yeah, I’m big. But I’ll fit.”

“I’m not talking about that, you jerk.”

Rhen laughed out loud then signaled for his friends to ride out. Once his friends were driving off, he stared over his shoulder. “We’re stuck here. Neither one of us will ever find our fated mates. Why not just be together? I’ll be faithful.”

“Really? Faithful? I can smell perfume on you.”

He sniffed his shirt. “Shit.”

“Right! Let’s keep things the way they are. Now, take me home.”

“One day, you’re going to want me for more than protection and a ride on my awesome snowmobile.”

“Yeah, when hell freezes over.”

“Haven’t you heard? It already has. We’re living in it.”

“Shut up and drive.” Sin laughed.

“Hold on to me tightly, witch.”

Having no choice but to obey, Sin wrapped her arms around him.

“Not that tight,” he groaned.

With a sneaky grin on her face, Sin squeezed even tighter.
