keeping ahead of her. “I didn’t ...” The words
strangled him. “I didn’t mean for this to

Elide let out a soft, vicious laugh. “Of

“I don’t care about that.” He didn’t. He’d
never spoken truer words. “I only wish to
make things right.”
Her lip curled. “I would be inclined to
believe that if I hadn’t seen you crawling after
Maeve on the beach.”
Lorcan blinked at the words, the hatred in
them, stunned enough that he let her walk past
this time. Elide didn’t so much as look back.
Not until Lorcan said, “I didn’t crawl after
Maeve.”
She halted, hair swaying. Slowly, she
glanced over her shoulder. Imperious and cold
