He needed her.

He couldn’t have her.

Not now.

Not ever.

A faint whimper escaped her in her sleep. Cathlynn’s eyelids fluttered with the mad movements of a dreamer dreaming. Dark shadows of distress slipped across her innocent face. Fear spread her breaths raggedly through her parted lips.

Anger rose. A disturbing anger that shook him to the core. Damn Cathlynn and her irresistible appeal!
