When he looked back at her, his eyes were gleaming. “Make no mistake. You belong to me. To us.” He held up his hand and it morphed into the powerful paw of a predator before her very eyes. “There is nothing either of us would not dno ñto protect you.” Wow. That was a lot for a girl to take in. But one question remained. “Why?” He shook his head and canted it to one side as he studied her. “Why does the sun rise in the east? Why do the birds sing?” He placed his hand over his heart. “These things just are.” He took another step toward her. “You are in my heart, Araminta Davidson, and there is no removing you from it.”The bear paused. “Love her and do not let her go. The woman in your arms is a miracle. She gave her life for you.”Leander lowered his head and scowled at her. “You died for me.” He thumped his chest hard. “For me.” In spite of the fact she wasn’t really afraid of him, her heart sped up. Okay, maybe she was the teeniest bit afraid. She’d never seen him quite this angry. “Promise me.” He gripped her shoulders and yanked her close to him. “Promise me you’ll never do anything like that again.” He was so upset and she wanted to soothe him, really she did, but she couldn’t lie to him. She carefully shook her head. “I can’t.” Oh boy, if she’d thought he was angry before, she was wrong. She instinctively tried to pull away from him as his face morphed into that of the lion, complete with gigantic fangs. He shook himself and the lion retreated, but she knew the creature was very close to the surface.She was under no illusions. Leander was an immortal warrior, a guardian of an ancient goddess. He’d obviously have to go back to work. That wasn’t exactly the kind of job you retired from. And where would that leave her? Immortal and alone. She’d really become the crazy cat lady if she wasn’t careful. Maybe they could see each other occasionally. An immortal booty call. Not exactly what she’d hoped for her life, but it was better than the alternatives life without Leander. On the other hand, she’d have plenty of time to read all the books she wanted, to learn everything she’d ever wanted to learn. She could go back to school anytime she wanted. Provided she could come up with the cash. Finances could be another problem. "You are my gift from the goddess, Araminta. A prize for all my years of confinement and loneliness, for my years of service.”...more
