Quote by Ruby Dixon

“It is a long journey with many cold nights ahead.” “Wouldn’t you just love that.” “I would, yes.” He grins at me. “I’d rather freeze, thank you.” “Would you? I should like to think I could have you in my arms before we return to the tribe.” My face feels like it’s burning with humiliation. “That will never happen.” “That sounds like a challenge.” “Or common sense.”

Elly?—giggles. I pull away from Warrek’s mouth and bury my face against his neck in embarrassment. Oh my god. That’s totally my fault—I was loud. I’m not sure I know how to be quiet. “Sorry,” I whisper to Warrek. “No apologies. I was impatient. We will wait for privacy.” He gives me one more quick kiss and then presses his mouth to my forehead. “Sleep now.” “Yeah,” Kate says, giggling. “Sleep now.”

“We risked a lot to come here.” I think of the sucker wounds on his chest and the scratches that cover his body, and shudder. “I will always come back for you, my Llo. I will never leave your side.” I squeeze against him tighter, holding him closer. “I love you. I love you so much.” “Thank you, my mate.” It’s not the answer I expect from a declaration of love, and I look up at him in surprise. “Er, thank you?” “For giving my tribe new life. Here on this shore, and”—he touches my belly—“here, L’ren.” Okay, now I’m going to cry again.”
