Sarah’s POV
Something was off. I stretched out my sore and aching body. I opened one eye and blinked against the light. It was too blurry to make anything out, so I sniffed the air. That dreamy scent of smoke and earth roused my desire.
Yearning for Sebastian wasn’t going to do me any good at the temple. I opened the other eye and blinked. I wasn’t outside sleeping under the open sky. I sharpened my hearing. There were no birds. My heart beat fast, and I didn’t know where I was. I pushed up to my elbows, and a strong arm wrapped around my waist and dragged me closer to a hard, long body. I shoved away and sprang from the bed.
I peered around. Slowly, the room came into focus: the bare stone walls and the simple tan cotton sheets.
Sebastian’s deep, full voice sounded through the blood
