“Because most shape-shifters live in Ardenia. The only reason you don’t recall the place is because
of a forget spell placed on you around the age of ten.”
Shocked by the correlation between the age he stated and the age she’d been when the governor bought her, along with the plausible reason for her lack of memories, Kitty stepped backward and
bumped into the boulder. “But how do you know all
this? Who are you?”
Jack closed in and pinned her against the large
rock. The hard line of his body met hers. The sensual
part of her nature and the connection they’d shared
demanded she believe him. But could she take such
a risk?
“My parents are from Ardenia, and they’re
familiar with your family. Your sister enlisted my
help to find you.” His softly spoken words brushed
her face.
“But why?” The intoxicating scent of his earlier
transformation rode on her taste buds, and she bit
her lips to hold back the ache rising in her core.
“Because they want you back.” Jack swept his
hands up her sides, and his thumbs nudged the
undersides of her breasts. “You were taken during
the war. The giants and dwarfs were fighting the
humans and resented the shape-shifters helping in
the matter.”
“Is that why everyone wants to kills us?” The
curly hair on his chest tickled her nipples, and her
hands tightened on his biceps.
Jack shook his head. “What are you talking about?”
“The governor says that if anyone should find
out about me changing forms, I’ll be hunted down
and killed.” The terrifying thought sent shivers
down her spine. “That’s why I’ve stayed here all
these years.”
“Well, he lied.” Jack stroked his hands over her breasts and squeezed gently. “If you want, I’ll even
help you break free.”
“Is that why you came here?”
“Yes. Your family decided you might need some
help.” He edged closer, and the hard line of his cock
hit her thighs. “Sloan won’t let you go easily.”
“He won’t let me go at all. In the twelve years
I’ve been with him, I’ve never left his estate.” Kitty
recalled a few times she’d attempted and the hours
she’d spent in a cage to break her of “such foolish
notions.”
Fear spiked her already heightened lust, and
she wrapped her arms around Jack’s neck. “How are
you planning to steal me away? And where will you
take me after you do?”
“Home.” He crowded closer, and his chest,
stomach, and thighs caressed her naked body. “Your
mother wants you to live in Ardenia.”
Kitty closed her eyes, and the bright images of
the mystical place sparkled for a moment then
faded. She fought to hold onto the vision but failed.
The light touch of Jack’s lips on her neck returned
her thoughts to a more arousing scene—lying naked
on her bed, Jack’s head between her legs, his
tongue...
She forced her eyes open to ground herself in the
moment. “Jack, there’s more to this than you’re
telling me. You...”
