anything that would be considered off in woo-woo land. She’d be
herself, not give Tor any reason to think something was wrong.
    By the time Kenna had collected the bag she’d packed and
headed out of her apartment, she’d collected herself to the point no one would
be able to know she’d somehow acquired a freaky ability. At least in her mind
she pulled it off.

Chapter Six
     
    Tor resisted the urge to open the front door and look
outside to see if Kenna had arrived. Instead he went to the living room and
turned on the TV. He’d missed her, had even found himself reaching for her
while in bed, wanting to have her in his arms.
    Since he’d already made them mates, he planned to tell her
everything once she’d had a chance to settle in, and after they’d made love
once, maybe twice. The sooner he got it over with the better it would be for
both of them. As Anubis had said the night before, sooner or later Kenna was
going to notice something was different about her. She needed to understand why
before that happened. He could see it freaking her out if she happened to hurt
herself and then healed in seconds.
    Tor also didn’t want to risk the demon that had him in his
sights finding out what Kenna was to him while she was on her own. Without
being under Tor’s protection, the demon could hurt her. And if the creature
ever found out Tor’s and Kenna’s life forces were joined, the demon would try
to take Kenna out, knowing full well Tor would die right along with her.
    Having not spent the night and into the early hours of the
morning hunting, Tor’d had the chance to go to the grocery store earlier and
stock up on what he hoped Kenna would like to eat. Now being immortal, she
would be able to eat as much as she wanted, food that was good or bad for her,
and not have to worry about gaining a pound. She’d always stay the same. She’d
also be able to drink alcohol and never get drunk.
    Ten minutes later, Tor heard the sound of a car pulling up
his long driveway. He smiled as he hurried out of the living room and walked
through the foyer to the front door. He opened it and stepped out in time to
see Kenna park in front of the garage. He smiled as he headed in her direction.
She didn’t see him at first, but once she did, she gave him a small wave before
taking an athletic bag out of the backseat.
    Once he closed the distance between them, Tor cupped her
face and kissed her as he’d ached to do since he’d dropped her off at her place
the night before. He then put his arm around her shoulders and guided her
toward the door.
    “I missed you,” he said as they walked.
    She smiled as she angled her head to look at him, her arm
snaking around his waist. “I missed you too.”
    Inside the house, he shut the door behind them. Tor took her
bag and placed it on the bottom step of one of the staircases to bring up to
his bedroom later. He turned back to her.
    “Would you like something to drink or eat?”
    Kenna shook her head. “No, I’m fine. Thanks.”
    Tor looked down and saw she wrung her hands. Gazing at her
more closely, he saw her expression was a little on the pinched side, almost as
if she appeared anxious about something. He hoped he wasn’t the cause of it.
    “Are you okay, Kenna?” he asked.
    “Of course I am.” She wrung her hands harder and spoke
faster. “Why wouldn’t I be? Everything is perfect. I have nothing to worry
about.”
    “Well, for one thing, you’re babbling.”
    “I’m not babbling. I’m just—” Kenna took a deep breath, then
said more slowly, “I’m fine.”
    “All right.” He still wasn’t convinced that she was.
Something bothered her. “What would you—” Kenna cut off his words by throwing
herself into his arms and covering his mouth with her own. He wrapped his arms
around her waist and returned her kiss.
    Against his lips, she said huskily, “Take me upstairs and
make love to me. I need you inside me.”
    He groaned as he lifted her off her feet and turned
