She was too tired and mentally drained to continue playing this game. “It was Heeba herself,” she admitted in a quiet voice. “She said you would get tired of my skittish Atriyan ways and trade me for another woman.” Azhrael gasped an incredulous smile. “And you believe her?” “Why would she lie?” Isydoris shrugged. “She is one of the most beautiful women in the empire.

“Little one, I am a man with very specific preferences, and you happen to meet all of them. Why would I go looking for something I already have?” “If that is true, it only deepens my confusion,” she admitted, clasping her hands together to ward off the approaching sense of nervousness. “Why me?

“A ghost of a tender smile tugged at his lips. “Then let me set your mind at ease. You were never a conquest, Isydoris. I have always appreciated the fact you were not a possession, but a person with thoughts and feelings.” He cupped her face and brushed his lips against hers. “When you fear, I try to ease your mind. When you cry, I offer you comfort. When you speak, I listen to your opinion. Are those not signs of genuine affection?”
