mother came out of the bedroom for Pesha.  I gave her another smile before I bid her farewell and walked out into the cool Colorado air. 
    The moment we were no longer in the sight of my home, Tamas grabbed my hand.  I stopped and glanced down as I experienced a jolt of awareness. 
                  “You don’t mind, do you?” He asked, watching my face. 
                  I shook my head, “No,” I said as I faced him, “I don’t.” 
                  “I’m glad,” Tamas said, leaning close to whisper in my ear, “It would have broken my heart if you did especially since you let me kiss you.”
                  I blushed, “I wouldn’t want to break your heart,” I said, softly.
                  Tamas smiled, “I wouldn’t want to break yours either,” he whispered. 
                  “Come on!” Mirella said, glancing back and then, rolled her eyes, “Mother is probably pacing and that’s never a good thing.”
                  Tamas faced me, “Are you ready to be engaged to me?” He asked searching my face, his eyes dark with worry. 
                  I nodded, “I am.”
                  “Good because there is no turning back after this,” he said, giving me a gentle tug as we began to walk toward the field where the bonfire blazed in celebration and I walked with the man I was becoming more addicted to by the second.
     

Chapter Seven
When the Blood Runs Cold
                  Tamas led me into the party with my hand still wrapped in his.  I smiled when Mirella began to dance as soon as she was in the crowd, laughing as she did.  I realized how wonderful her laughter was as it tinkled around us. Tamas pulled me closer to him as he led me to a table where Lilly, Aurora and Mary Jane sat.  Aurora held a beautiful little girl who shared the same silver eyes as her.  Her hair had the same mixture of brown, black and blonde as Tamas.  She was around two years old.  I wondered if this child was the one that would be betrothed to Pesha. 
                  Aurora saw my interest in her and smiled, “This is Ruby,” she said, proudly, “She is my daughter.”
                  “She’s beautiful,” I said and the little girl smiled up at me as if she appreciated the compliment.  I tilted my head as I studied her wondering if she would become my sister-in-law in the future, “Did my parents approach you about a betrothal?”
                  “Yes,” Aurora said, kissing her little girl’s forehead, “It seems our family’s bond will be unbreakable with not one but two marriages.”
                  I smiled as I reached forward and caressed the little girl’s cheek, “It already is.”
                  “Where is Andre, Luc and Marco?” Tamas asked, grinning, “I want to introduce Nadia to them.” 
    Aurora pointed toward the bonfire and Tamas tugged my hand after thanking her.   I waved farewell to the women who I had grown so close to in just a few days.  We moved closer to the bonfire, finding a group of men talking in a circle.
                  The first to notice us had the same mixture of brown, black and blonde hair as Tamas but his eyes were shaded caramel brown with striations of sea green.  He was tall and muscular.  He resembled Tamas so much that he gave me a glimpse of what he would look like in a few years. 
                  “This is my oldest brother, Andre,” Tamas said, shaking his brother’s hand, “He’s married to Aurora.”
                  “I just met your daughter,” I said, smiling, “She’s beautiful.”
                  Andre’s chest puffed out proudly, “Yes, she is,” he said, “It’s nice to have you here, Nadia.” 
                  “Thank you,” I said as he patted my
