hand on her skin, touching her breast, inching its way to where her nipple awaited his caress which caused the deep sigh to escape her throat. His fingers coaxed her, embracing, encouraging her passion but her need for this man was only just igniting.
    “What are they doing?” Prince stepped back at the show of passion between his cousin and the intriguing woman.
    “They’ve been like this for days; you get used to it after a while. They might disappear into the bedroom but they’ll be out in an hour or so. They’re like bloody rabbits,” Noah lied, grinning naughtily at his cousin’s discomfort.
    “He’s not ill?” Prince asked with disappointment. His hopes were quickly dashed by Joshua’s obvious vigor.
    “Does he look ill?” Noah smiled wider, enjoying Prince’s disenchantment. “Come have a drink; they might be a while.”
    “I heard he had a bad headache,” Prince muttered, following Noah to a bar on the other side of the room. Joshua up, although he regretted the loss of contact on the woman’s chilled lips. Her eyes were closed and her lips moved to an involuntary smile. She’d enjoyed it. Joshua’s eyes locked onto Noah who slowly shook his head. No, he hadn’t told anyone about Joshua’s headaches. No one knew except the two of them, the Ice Witch and the creator of the pain.
    Noah scowled with suspicion at Eva as she turned her head and opened her eyes. The energy of the room had changed and was back to what it had been when they’d first brought her there. Joshua raised a hand, a finger rubbing at his forehead. Was the headache coming back or just the memory of that pain lurking inside his mind? Was the woman in his cousin’s employ and able to remove the pain because she’d caused it?

Chapter Seven

    Joshua’s arm tightened on hers as he led her to the sofa and pulled her down onto his lap. She stiffened but obeyed. His hot arm wrapping itself around her, appeared to be a familiar embrace and not the prison it was.
    “I didn’t realize you had found your soulmate,” Prince muttered again, one hand holding a tumbler of Joshua’s expensive scotch and staring at the woman’s bared legs as she perched lover-like on Joshua’s lap. “I’m pleased for you but my woman is already carrying my child. We await his arrival with great anticipation.”
    He’s lying, Noah whispered in his brother’s mind. He’s the one behind the headache.
    I know, Joshua spat, astonishing Noah with his cold, caustic tone. Is Eva involved too? Can you read her?
    Not with Prince here; he always interferes with the process. Noah admitted. He didn’t like to think that the man had any power at all but, although Prince didn’t have the strength to read thoughts nor the patience to learn, his energy was enough to interrupt Noah’s skill.
    “I’m pleased for you,” Joshua lied, his hand on the woman’s exposed thigh and, although she tried to remove the hand and cover up her skin, Joshua’s determination wasn’t to be defied. “Obviously once we are certain, we will notify you of our own good news.” The hand around her shoulder dropped to rest over her abdomen, a sign of ownership, and of fatherhood. Eva had only known him for a short time, but she knew he would be a proud father, and an awesome lover, and that pleased her.
    “I look forward to the announcement,” Prince smiled, a cold unforgiving grin. “But I didn’t come here to brag or to assure myself of your good health. I heard rumors of the presence of an Ice Witch and wanted to offer my help in detaining and destroying her.”
    “The Ice Witches are dead, cousin. Don’t you remember?” Noah’s eyes caught his brother’s once more, and saw the frown growing on his brother’s brow. Joshua’s head dropped, his mouth touching Eva’s ear, a lover’s sweet nothing, a loving touch.
    “Do you know this man?” he asked, demanding the answer.
    “He’s your cousin. That’s all I know,” she muttered back. His breath on the skin of her
