do to ease her pain.
He could not understand why so many
earth women were unaware of their beauty. Of all the human women he'd met,
Summer was simply exquisite. None compared to her, and he wanted her.
His body and soul yearned for closer
contact, and it took great willpower not to reach out and touch her again. She
needed time and space to come to terms with the fact of who he was. He would
prove to her he could be trusted.
From what Blossom told him, her mother
had been suffering for many years, since Summer's first protector was
tragically killed in a transport accident. Clearly, she still mourned his loss.
There were images of the other man
along the mantle of her home; a fine strong looking human male.
A tugging at his arm brought Melor out
of his thoughts. He glanced down to little Blossom.
"Mom said do you need to call
someone?"
"Yes, I thank you. There is one
place I need to contact, if you permit me."
"Knock yourself out." Summer's
tone was dry.
"Although I have seen your
communication devices, I may need assistance in using it."
He watched Summer huff out an
irritated breath. "I'm sure your communication devices on your planet are
far more advanced than ours."
He did not miss the sarcasm in her
words. Melor leaned down, almost an inch from her face. She started and her
eyes widened. Her breath quickened, but not in fear. Oh no, he could see the
flame of desire in her soft grey blue depths. He was pleased he could affect
her like this.
"You will see for yourself when
you come with me."
Her mouth opened as if to make a
retort. His gaze fell to her soft parted lips. It would be so easy to lean in a
little further and taste her. Again, he fought to keep control over what his
body wanted, opposed to his rational mind.
He pulled back, straightened, feeling
every part of his body throb with need. His hardened cock pressed against his
turrets.
"Blossom, could you assist me in
using your telephone?"
The child beamed him a toothy smile.
She needed a father and her stubborn mother needed a protector.
Melor suddenly understood his
Commander Drystan's fierce possessiveness over his lady Jane.
An overwhelming need gripped him to
know everything there was about this small earth woman, learn every inch of her
body. More than anything he wanted to possess her heart, mind and soul. Here
was the one woman he could give his life to in return. He would not let
anything stand in his way of making Summer his.
Chapter
Four
Drystan leaned against the door,
watching the graceful movements of his wife as she prepared the mid-day meal.
From the blessed day he'd first caught her in his arms, to the time he helped
her through her labor to birth their child, she grew more beautiful.
Her heavy sighs alerted him to the
fact she was still unsettled worrying over the lost Melor.
"Are you going to stand there all
day?" She glanced over her shoulder with an elegant raised brow.
"Aye, mayhap I enjoy the view."
She turned her head back, but he knew
she smiled. "I bring good news. Melor is found."
She set down the knife and turned
around.
"Really? And he's okay?"
"It seems he was transported up
the coast of California, unharmed." He wouldn't relay the information a
car hit him. His lady worried too much as it was.
She let out a relieved breath. "Oh,
thank goodness, I was so worried. We should go get him."
"Nay, love, he has requested to
stay where he is for the present. You see, there is a lady he wishes to get to
know better."
Jane's face lit up with a knowing
grin.
"The earthquake was a blessing in
disguise. No one was hurt and he may have found himself a protected."
"This is wonderful. He was so
dejected for not finding his lady, and now… Oh honey, this is wonderful."
"He needs time to convince the
lady and her young daughter to journey back to L.A. as the portal gem. Give him
time. He
