who brought up Miranda’s name.
    She wrinkled her brow in thought, as if trying to find an answer. “I don’t really know. Miranda and I have never been close. I’ve always sensed something troubling about her but have never been able to identify it. I’m much closer with my coven family.”
    “That’s too bad that you don’t have a good relationship with your sister. I have a younger brother who’s also in the bloodline. We’ve always been very close.” His thoughts momentarily drifted to Dylan and how frail he had become over the last decade. “There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for him.
    “Do you and your sister belong to the same coven?” He needed to refocus the conversation on finding Miranda rather than dwelling on his own sorrow and turmoil.
    “No, we live in different parts of the country…” She furrowed her brow in a moment of concentration. “At least I think we do. Actually, she seems to move around a lot. For some reason, she doesn’t stay in one place very long.”
    “That would make it difficult for her to participate in her coven if she’s never in the same place where they are.”
    “I know…it’s all very strange. She’s a witch with powers and seems always to be striving to learn more and expand those powers, yet she doesn’t make any attempt to be involved with her coven.” She emitted a sigh of resignation. “I honestly don’t understand her or her life choices. Why embrace one aspect of being a witch while shunning another? It doesn’t make any sense to me.”
    “That does seem strange.” Or at least it would if he didn’t know her dark secret. Harm to None was definitely one of the aspects Miranda shunned. “Does she at least plan to attend the special Samhain ceremony this week?”
    “I thought she was going to, then she abruptly changed her mind.” Raina tilted her head and shot a quizzical look at him. “Why do you ask?”
    “No reason. The two of you seem so different. Just curiosity, I guess.” It wasn’t an accusatory question, but it did tell him he’d better change the subject…for the time being. “I’m hungry. How about you?”
    He saw that shy smile again, a charming moment that touched his heart. “Well…yes, I would like something to eat.”
    “I’ll get the room service menu.” He eased his body from hers, slid out of bed, and headed for the parlor room of the suite.
    Raina watched Devon walk across the floor, his stride confident and purposeful. Everything about him said he was a man secure in his identity and his place in the world. He radiated the type of confidence she longed to possess. Over the years, she had managed to develop a self-assured outer persona that served her well in her business associations, but she had never been able to transfer that to her carefully hidden insecurities.
    Insecurities fed by demeaning, condescending, and occasionally even cruel treatment by Miranda. Telling Devon that she and Miranda weren’t close was a huge understatement. Harm To None …she believed in the credo and did her best to live by it, but on numerous occasions her sister had truly taxed her efforts. Even though she resented Miranda and the way she had been treated by her sister over the decades, it was a secret she was ashamed of, one she could never share.
    She tried to shake the uncomfortable thoughts from her mind, preferring to focus her attention on Devon. She closed her eyes and allowed a hint of a smile to turn the corners of her mouth. She had never experienced anything like his magnetic sex appeal and overwhelming presence. Nor had she ever experienced the heights of sexual pleasure and satisfaction he had given her. And she knew it was only the beginning—a sample of what was to be.
    There was so much for him to teach her, so much for her to embrace and explore. Even the basics, the intimacies she thought she knew well, had been as fresh as if it had been her first orgasm when experienced with Devon. The wonders of nature
