can’t get back, then it’s no less then what I deserve for giving you to Malcom.” Alex’s tone was harsh.
    “Alex, it’s my cure to seek, not yours! I’m in danger in either world. Isn’t this true?” Falyn asked him.
    “You would have been in danger as you were, but like this? No, you are useless – to your father and anyone else.”
    “No,” Falyn whispered, as she sunk into the sofa, her hand covering her mouth.
    Falyn got it now. Alex planned to leave her here as a dog so she would be safe while he went on some wild goose chase to find a cure in the other world, with a good chance of never returning.
    “This spell is underlain with something more. It could be fated Falyn’s destiny is linked to this, meaning she will have to go,” Break told them.
    “But it might be something else altogether, Break. It might be the fact she is the only one of her kind in the world you’re picking up! You have no way of knowing for sure,” Alex pointed out, as he ran his hand through his hair.
    “Maybe, but can you leave her alone here, stuck as she is?” Break wanted to know.
    Alex looked at Falyn, who had not said anything this whole time, her mind reeling with the truth, Alex was prepared to let her stay as she was.
    “If she is safe, then yes, I will go and I will find a cure. If I don’t, then whether I return or not, Break, you must do all you can to help Falyn get back to normal.”
    “I will,” Break promised softly.
    Falyn sense they were leaving something out, but all she could think about right now was the fact she was going to be trapped as a dog!
    “Now, if you don’t mind, we need to go for a walk.”
    Alex took Falyn’s hand and they left the house together.
    “Alex, I’m so confused!” Falyn cried as he led her down to the beach.
    “Hush, you’re going to be fine. Let’s not worry about it right now.”
    It was a warm night and the moon was still bright. Alex kept an arm around her shoulders as they walked.
    “I am sorry, Falyn, more than I can say…”
    Falyn didn’t want to hear him say it again.
    “Enough, Alex. I don’t blame you. Just hold me… Okay?” she asked him.
    “Okay,” he murmured into her hair.
    It started as a kiss as he ran his hands down her arms, and then back up, making Falyn more than ready to feel him inside her.
    “Alex, I want you to make love to me,” she whispered into his ear as he kissed a path down her neck.
    “You’re sure?” His gaze locked with hers.
    “Yes,” she told him, bringing her mouth to his.
    He pulled his shirt off and, with little effort, undid the buttons on her borrowed dress. Her bare skin prickled with goose bumps as the air washed over her, followed by the warmth of his breath.
    He took her breasts into his mouth in turn, sucking each nipple until they were hard little mounds. Then he moved his lips lower to her stomach, before ending up between her legs. His mouth teased her until she was ready to lose her mind. Just when she thought she could take no more, he spread her legs and thrust into her.
    He moved slowly, easing her ever so close to her breaking point. Then he went faster, each thrust harder and quicker than the last, till she cried out. She clutched his shoulders as he carried her away from everything but the pleasure he brought her. Her cries washed away with the sounds of the thundering sea.
    They made love until it was nearly dawn. Then Falyn fell asleep. Alex held her as he watched her chest rise and fall. She was still more beautiful than any one woman had the right to be. No mortal could hope to be so lovely, yet she was also much more. And this kept him coming back to the idea she was not meant for him. He had never been a one-woman kind of man, but he had not thought he would ever find a woman like Falyn.
    And it was his fault she was now in this awful situation for he had sent her into hell when he gave her over to her father. He should have trusted his gut! Now it was too late for ‘what ifs’: he had to
