She spotted Gavriel before she spotted Dex, and the guilt hit her so fast she nearly tripped over her own feet.
Which was ridiculous. She had nothing to feel guilty about.
She told herself that twice. It didn't stick either time.
On the south grounds of the castle, Dex stopped mid sentence the second he saw her. Immediately he crossed the distance and pulled her into a kiss before she could say a word.
Her face flushed.
She told herself she didn't know why. But she did. She knew exactly why. And he was standing next to Hale.
Gav had to know by now that Dex and her were mates. Right?
It'd be shocking if he didn't. Either way, the cat was out of the bag now.
Dex shoved calm into her through their matebond without warning, causing her to jump in shock.
He knew exactly why she felt guilty and a little shy now. He didn't like her thinking about any man other than himself. Absolutely not.
Dex's grin turned downright wicked.
