priestess, you can’t travel can you?”
    “No.” It had never bothered her before, but now that she had left their realm, the yearning to see other realms had begun to grow.
    “That’s too bad. I think you would enjoy it.”
    Unfortunately, so did she.

Chapter Eight
    Aimery tore his hungry gaze from Kyndra’s sleeping form and watched the sun rise over the mountain. He had spent the remainder of the darkness reliving their kisses over and over in his mind. The taste of her lips, the feel of her body, her soft moans. He’d had a cockstand since the moment he first placed his lips on hers, and he feared he wouldn’t have release anytime soon.
    He fisted his hands and rose to his feet. He needed to do something, to work off some of his frustration. Of all the people, he knew he shouldn’t have touched Kyndra. But she had been a temptation he was powerless to resist. Now that he had a taste of her, he yearned for more. Much more.
    His gaze locked with the canyon wall. They would need to know the lay of the land if he were going to get them to the mountain and Eldar’s castle. Without another thought, he climbed the sheer rock wall until he could peek over the edge.
    There was a chance the canyon would take them to the mountain. Aimery grunted when he spotted the giant bird pecking clothing from the bones of some poor soul. He didn’t want to chance being attacked again.
    Aimery had expected the realm to be cloaked in blackness. Yet, as the sun shed its rays on the mountainside, he saw trees with leaves of vivid pink instead of green. A smile pulled at his lips. This was one of the reasons he loved to visit other realms. There was always something different to see.
    By the time he climbed down the canyon, Kyndra had awaken. She had removed her cloak, giving him a view of her full breasts. “Did you sleep well?”
    “As well as can be expected. My body hurts. Everywhere.” So did his. “Our magic healed us. Without it, we’ll feel everything.”
    “And die that much easier.”
    The Fae were immortal, but they could be killed. It was their magic that helped to heal them quickly and gave them long life. Without it…anything could happen.
    Kyndra brushed the hair from her face with her hand and scrunched up her nose. “Is the bird still out there?”
    “Aye. He procured another meal for the time being.”

    “What’s the plan?”
    He lifted a brow. “The plan?”
    “I saw you climb up and take a look. You must have found something because you aren’t frowning.” She touched the spot between her brows. “You furrow your brows.” Aimery hadn’t realized he did that. It sent a thrill through him that she had noticed. Had their kiss affected her as much as it had him? Had she dreamed of him holding her as she slept?
    Did she think of him sliding into her heat, thrusting inside her until sweat beaded their skin and she screamed her release?
    He took in a shaky breath and turned his back to her. Regardless of how much his body wanted to feel her soft curves beneath him, there was more at stake here than his need. He clenched his jaw and focused his mind on the mountain.
    “We follow the canyon as long as we can. I couldn’t see much from the ledge, but I think it takes us to the mountain.”
    There was a rustle of sand as she gained her feet. “I hope we’re that lucky. Of course, there is no telling what is in the canyon.”
    “True.” He turned to face her. “But doesn’t the prospect of finding out excite you?” Her lips parted in a smile. “Oh, aye. It does.”
    There was no other person he could imagine by his side at that moment. The anticipation shining in her blue eyes was enough to make his heart skip a beat. Kyndra was afraid, but she also loved not knowing what was going to happen. She was made for just this mission. And he had no doubt she would succeed.
    He glanced at her bare legs. A scrape ran down the outside of her right leg. “Does it pain you?”
    She cocked her hip out and turned
