Protector (The Witches of Cleopatra Hill Book 5) Read online

“So you’re willing to wait?” He sounded surprised, and she couldn’t blame him. At least half the time, she was the one who initiated things between them. He’d once said he didn’t know what blazed hotter, her blood or her red hair. Then she’d teased him for only being attracted to her hair, whereupon he’d taken it upon himself to prove that there were actually a great many things about her that attracted him.

  “Oh, hell, no, I’m not waiting. Not that long, anyway,” she replied at once, pushing herself up from the couch and thinking furiously. “I can pack a few things, and come back for the rest whenever. It’s not like I have to be here for school — finals were last week. And if we leave in the next fifteen minutes, we can be down in Tucson in time for a late dinner. You still owe me that chimichanga, you know.”

  She headed off toward the bedroom, Alex only a few feet behind her so he could get the duffle bag he’d brought up for the weekend. Clearly, he didn’t want to wait, either. And why should he? They’d both been waiting their entire lives for one another.

  The time for waiting was over.
