“Oh, really?”

“You are tired. You’ve been on your feet too long. Your friends love you and want you here until dawn to keep up with the festivities, but I am your mate and I need you and our offspring resting and quiet.”

She gives me a warm smile. “I understand. It’s true that my feet and back are killing me. The party can continue without us because the DJ is booked for a few more hours. The problem is that we were going to stay overnight at the cabin, but everyone is still out here. We’ll have no peace there until they all leave. I could just sit in a chair outside until…”

I take her hand. “No. I have a surprise for you. We are leaving this location.”

“A surprise?” she gasps.

My mate loves surprises. This is exactly why I did not tell her yet of my purchase of the luxury domicile in Big Sky. I sweep her into my arms and carry her away from the festivities in full view of the gasps of surprise of everyone in attendance.

I place her into the exact same vehicle in which I was driving when we first met. Then we take the long, two-hour drive back to Big Sky. She quickly falls asleep. I nudge her away when we are close enough for her to catch her first nighttime glimpse of our domicile.

“Where are we? Are we visiting someone? Did you rent this place?”

I park in the drive of a large home, that reminds me of domiciles on Korn, built with stone and logs, including many windows of the surrounding nature. “Surprise. This is our new home. I purchased this home for us. You said you could never possibly afford a home in Big Sky. Yes, you can. This home is both of ours—it is paid in full and both of our names are on the deed. Welcome home, Sabine.”

Tears instantly form in her eyes. “I love you.”

“I know.”

And then I kiss her and carry her over the threshold and into our new domicile.

I’mthe Hyrrokin High Priest of a remote monastery on the planet Salo. I spend my days in quiet contemplation, keeping my flame-throwing banked and nursing my war wounds. And I take my vows of silence and celibacy very seriously.

Very. Seriously.

Then one day a mouthy, gorgeous human female is dumped onto the stone steps of the main altar.

And suddenly I’m tempted like never before.
