Excerpt
Her heart hammered at the thundering sound of
hoof beats in the distance. Over the rise came a creature she knew was a horse,
from pictures and her experiences in the dreams of men. She had never seen a
real one.
She blinked her eyes in disbelief. Samael rode
the horse. She whirled in excitement and smacked full into Bane, who had
stopped stock still.
The horse and rider headed straight at them, a
curl of rope and weapon hanging from the saddle, a rifle Layla thought. What
was Samaeldoing with a gun?
Relief flooded her. The best part, other than
seeing with her own eyes that he was not hurt, was her certainty he would
proclaim her innocent of any part in this abduction.
Samaelwould
know she was innocent, wouldn’t he?
“Keep your mouth shut,” Bane hissed.
She couldn’t stand mute and let Bane get in
the first word against her. “Samael.” She rushed toward him, recoiling when she
encountered the energy field and immense bulk of his mount.
The startled horse reared up, knocking Layla
off balance. While Samael regained control of the beast, she tilted sideways
and fell into the edge of the water.
She struggled to get up but only managed to
plunk herself back down in the mud.
“Samael.” Her voice shook.
He halted the stallion within a few feet of
her as she lay sprawled in the shallow water. She flinched at the look he
tossed her from beneath his wide brimmed hat. It wasn’t the heated gaze he
usually gave her, the one that melted her insides and made it hard to breathe.
No, this was the distant stare of a stranger. A cold stranger with her lover’s
face.
