Grabbing the hem of his silk tunic, he pulled it over his head and allowed it to drop on the floor. He wasn’t entirely sure what her reaction would be. Oh, he could sense her desire. It pulsed through the air with an icy insistence. Not to mention the fact that her fangs were fully extended. A sure sign she hungered for his blood.

Or she wanted to rip out his throat.

Maybe both.

But he didn’t expect her to reach up and stroke her hand over the bare skin of his chest.

“You’re right. You are perfect,” she approved in low tones.

A scalding pleasure blasted through him, a groan of need wrenched from his throat.

“I’ve made my share of mistakes,” he growled. “But this isn’t one of them. I’ve belonged to you since the moment you grasped my mind.”

Her fingers traced the muscles that clenched beneath her light touch. “I knew I was in trouble when I couldn’t erase you from my dreams.”

“Ah. I like the thought of featuring in your fantasies.”

“I said dreams, not fantasies,” she corrected him.

His lips twitched as he gazed down at her. “Is there a difference?”

“Dreams are desires you crave to fulfill. Fantasies are fleeting whims that fade into nothing.”

“Ah.” He leaned forward, burying his face in the curve of her neck. “Then what do you call a dream that comes true?”

“A miracle.”

She scored her nails down his chest, sending pulses of excitement darting through him. Ryshi shivered. It wasn’t just the pricks of painful pleasure that were setting him on fire. It was her soft words that smashed into him with shattering force.

Yes. She was right.

It was a miracle.

One he’d waited his entire life to experience. And if the past had taught him nothing else, it was to grasp what he desired and never let go.

Slipping his hands under the hem of her sweater, Ryshi tugged it over her head and tossed it aside. His mouth watered at the sight of her pale, flawless skin and the soft mounds of her breasts crested with pink nipples. He wanted to taste her from head to toe and all the yummy places in between.

“A miracle, indeed,” he breathed.

The silver that rimmed her astonishing blue eyes shimmered in the shadows. As if they were lit by an inner fire.

“And what of your jinn desire to roam?”

With reverent care, Ryshi cupped her breasts in his palms, his heart thundering with a fierce craving.

“My only desire is to be with you, Sofie.” His thumbs stroked her nipples into hard buds. Sofie quivered, the sweet scent of chamomile perfuming the air to wrap around Ryshi like an embrace.

Suddenly he understood the meaning ofmagnetic attraction. No matter how far he might travel from this female, he would always be compelled to return to her side. Like a lodestone calling him home.

And nothing had ever made him happier.

Sofie, however, didn’t appear nearly so certain. Her expression was wary, as if afraid to accept that their destinies had been decided.

“Easy to say now,” she insisted. “You’ll soon get bored.”

Ryshi wanted to laugh at her ridiculous accusation. What male could ever become bored with such a fascinating creature? Thankfully, he had enough experience with females to keep his amusement to himself. She was wary, on edge, and seeking an excuse to push him away. He wasn’t going to give it to her.

“When I roam you will be at my side. It’s time for you to return to the world.”
