that assessment, and she offered him a sad smile.
“ So,
there’s no point in…” She waved her hand to encompass the two of them, and
shook her head again. “In us, this … I won’t sleep with you, and then have you
disappear, and I can’t come with you, because—”
“ What
if you could?” Her eyes grew wide when he interrupted her. Asger rushed on to explain. “My village, my pack, we’re different. We always have
been. The night before I arrived here, I visited our ancient one. He gave me a
prophecy … I would travel through space and time to meet my válað , my destiny.” He smiled grimly at her gasp in response. “I did not believe him.
It had been many years since one such as you traveled to us. Yet, the next day
I found myself here. One minute I was fighting the neighboring clan, the next I
woke up injured in these strange lands. Then I scented you…” He let his words
trail off and left the rest unsaid.
“ I
can’t be … I mean, there are others, like me, I mean in your time? How?” she
asked and worried her bottom lip with her teeth. She stilled when he growled at
her. Asger used his thumb to pull the exposed flesh
away from danger.
“ Only Odin knows how.”
She nodded, and he could almost see the wheels
turning in her head.
“ Do
they ever go back?” She blanched when he shook his head.
“ Neinn , minn kona . ”
“ So,
does that mean you can’t go back either?” He winced as her voice rose in her
agitation. Asger shrugged his shoulders.
“ I
don’t know. The texts don’t say, at least not yet. I will have to study them
further.”
A reluctant smile kicked up the corners of his
mouth when she gave him a shove and frowned at him.
“ Well,
then, what are you waiting for? You have to find out, and I have to go to bed
anyway…” Heat rose in her cheeks, when
he adjusted his dick at the erotic images that instantly bombarded his brain at
the thought of her in a bed. He knew just what she would look like asleep. He’d
watched her often enough, when his restless animal needed to shift and
couldn’t. Being close to her was the only thing that calmed his wolf down.
“ Alone,”
she added, and he laughed.
“ Bed
notches, I get it. Though I’m still not entirely sure what that has to do with
me sinking my cock into your cunt.”
Kimberly made a strangled sound at the back of her
throat while she stepped away from him. He matched her retreat easily enough.
When the wall stopped her, he pounced. Catching her gasp in his mouth he
claimed her lips, like he wanted to claim her body. His wolf strutted when she
gave in immediately and opened to the insistent strokes of his tongue. Asger grunted his approval as her flavor exploded on his
taste buds. He took the kiss deeper, devouring her, making her his. The very
real need to brand her in some way consumed him. When he was finally forced to
release her to draw much needed oxygen into his lungs, they both gulped for
air. It only served to further drive this woman’s scent into his very soul, and
he knew his beast had never been closer to erupting out of his skin then right
now.
“ Run,
and remember you’re mine. If that boss of yours lays a finger on you
tomorrow, I’ll kill him—slowly.”
With one last look at his face, Kimberly took off
as though the hounds of hell were after her. Asger smiled grimly when he heard her lock her door. There was a scraping sound as
though she had dragged something in front of it, and he shook his head. Did she
really think that would stop him?
The urge to go after her was almost too much to
bear, but, instead, he forced himself back to the abandoned ledger. The answers
he sought had to be in there.

“ And
then I stripped them naked and fucked them six ways from Sunday while tied to
the tree. Never did have such fun with tourists.”

the passenger seat of Richard’s Land Rover. His amused laugh did make her
