And she meant more than just the way he looked. She meant so much more.
She looked down at his arm. “You’re going to need to see a doctor...”
“We will call one in,” he said. “And get the necessary shots.”
He looked pained, but resigned.
“Come inside,” she said, finding it her turn to take hold of his wrist.
He looked bemused as she tugged him toward the castle.
“Go on,” she said. “Call a doctor.”
“I do not see people.”
“You just agreed. You need vaccinations, among other things. You’ve been bitten.”
“Fine. I do have a doctor I use.”
“You’re a liar then!” she said.
“No,” Cameron growled. “He does not count.”
“Why not?”
“Because I decided he did not.”
“Well call him now,” she insisted.
She pushed him down into the armchair by the fireplace.
“Magic some fire,” she commanded.
“Fire,” he said.
The flames erupted, and she looked critically at his wounded arm. The shirt was stained, and there was a hole in it where the beast’s tooth had punctured the fabric. So she decided rather than pushing the sleeve up to go ahead and simply tear it. She rent it wide, exposing the deep wound there.
“Oh,” she said. “I’m sorry.”
“You should not have run away.”
“You shouldn’t havechased me. You shouldn’t have...” He leaned in closer to her and her breath caught and released tremulously. “Frightened me.”
Yet it was not fear that made her voice shake as she looked into his blue eyes.
“You should have stayed where you were told you could be. I gave you the entire run of the property, the one place I told you not to go...”
“And why not?”
“Because it is mine.”
She looked at him, at the ferocity in his gaze. “I’m not afraid of your face,” she said again. “What happened?”
“And this is why I delayed our face-to-face meeting, little goddess. It is the only conversation to have when one beholds this.”
“Call the doctor.”
What he did was send a message to his chief of staff to have his trusted physician sent to the castle.
