thing in her universe.
She melted as he poured himself into her. With
her head on his shoulder, sated, satisfied, she had no
desire to move.
At peace with the world for the first time in
months, she let herself drift to sleep.

Bright sunlight streamed through the windows
of the cabin, but a chill still clung to the wood walls
from the night s frigid air.
Jake wondered about starting a fire in the old
fashion hearth then decided against it. Instead, he
carried Sarah into the bedroom and laid her on the
bed. He hadn t planned on bringing her to his cabin,
but it was closer than traveling all the way to
Centerville.
He drank in the sight of Sarah s naked form
stretched across his bed. They hadn t traveled more
than a few hundred kilos. Yet, she appeared
exhausted. He drew the blanket at the end of the
mattress up and covered her exquisite body.
Whether from their busy night of sex or the
added drain of fear over leaving her job, she d passed
out right after they made love in the Zeppelin. He
decided to let her rest before they faced William. Her
brother would ask lots of questions about the
activity going on at Syndetic. Not to mention Jake s
intention of making Sarah his wife. He wanted to
make sure they provided the right answers.
He checked his messenger and punched in a
quick note to William.
Sarah s safe.
Will bring her home soon.
Jake.
He took off the device and hit the release for his
green suit. He hated the way the smell of chemicals
still clung to the fabric.
Pulling the shade down over the window by the
bed, he unstrapped the weapon under his arm and
placed it on the table by the bed. His magnetic cuffs,
he pulled out of his side pocket and laid them beside
his gun then slipped out of his clothes.
The notion of cuffing Sarah to the bed s railing
entered his head. The technique of restraining a
34

woman with high levels of dragon blood to relieve
fatigue tempted him.
But he didn t fool himself into believing that was
his only reason. For years he d allowed her the
freedom to walk away, to have a life without him.
But now he wanted her forever by his side. Her life
so intertwined with his they d never be separated.
She d figured it out, but he longed for that
physical connection of knowing she couldn t go
anywhere without him.
And seeing as his job dictated he kept her safe,
he had a valid reason for cuffing her to him. Their
escape from the compound might have gone off
without a mishap. No one followed them, but a
number of devices could be used to track them with
little or no problem.
He took her hand and kissed the soft skin of her
palm. How could he love her so much?
The cuffs would only unlock with his touch, but
even with very little sleep for the last few days, he
couldn t do it. Instead he stretched out on the bed
and repositioned Sarah across his chest. Her
alluring scent stroked his senses. His cock reacted to
her nearness, and he considered waking her to
satisfy his lust. Then a sigh escaped her lips, and
she settled one leg between his.
She needs to rest.
He forced his body to relax.

Chapter Five
Jake, let go of my hand. Sarah ran her free
hand over his golden hair and marveled at the silky
strands. He lay on his stomach, not having budged,
except to tighten his grip on her wrist, since she d
slipped off the mattress. I need to use your
facilities.
He opened one eye. First you have to promise
me you ll come right back to bed.
And if I don t? She stepped away from the bed
and tugged his arm off the side.
Then I won t let you go. He closed his eye and
appeared to go back to sleep.
Sarah glared at his back. Where else can I go? I
don t even know where we are.
He released her and dropped his hand. Come
right back.
She glanced at the cuffs lying on the table by the
bed. What did he plan to do with those?
Curious, she picked them up, weighed them in
her hands. Best not to tempt him with these. She
carried them with her as she walked naked through
the bedroom door. The rustic cabin appeared to be
from the early dragon period. Wood screamed at her
from every surface. An evening chill seeped through
the cracks in the floors and over her feet. She
shivered.
Once in the main area, she surveyed the space.
Where did Jake put my clothes?
A door to her right stood open. The metal basin
led her into the washroom. The misting chamber
filled most of the small area. Sarah wondered again

about their remote location.
The idea of staying here with Jake for an
extended period of time ignited her blood. Happiness
and fear warred inside her heart. Jake could set her
on fire so easily, and to finally enjoy him the way
she d always wanted to sent erotic images through
her head. She toyed with the cuffs in her hands.
Would he let her chain him to the bed?
Her nipples tightened.
But what if he discovered she was carrying his
child? Would he demand they get married? Should
she break away now, before he knew? After all, she
didn t want to trap him in a marriage he might not
want.
