on their heads.
"I'm sorry, Sarah," Damon said.
92 CHRISTINE FEEHAN .
"It was necessary." She felt sick. It didn't matter that he'd intended to kill them all, or
that Death had been satisfied. She had taken a life.
The wind moved through the room again, a soft breeze this time, bringing music with it.
Touching Sarah. She looked at her sisters and smiled tiredly. "Hannah, the cavalry is
coming up the drive. Do let them in and don't do anything you'll regret later."
Hannah rolled her eyes, stomped across the room, landing a frustrated kick to the shins
on the man Sarah was holding. "Thanks a lot, I have to see that giant skunk two times in
one day. That's more than any lady should have to deal with."
Abigail leaned down, her face level with Sarah's prisoner. ''You'd really like to tell me
who you're working for, wouldn't you?" Her tone was sweet, hypnotic, compelling. She
looked directly into his eyes, holding him captive there. Waiting for the name. Waiting for
the truth.
At the doorway, Hannah called out a greeting to Jonas Harrington. "As usual, you're just
a bit on the late side. Still haven't quite gotten over that bad habit of being late you set in

school. You always did like to make your entrance at least ten minutes after the bell." She
had her hand on her hip and she tossed the silky mass of wavy hair tumbling around her
shoulders. "It was juvenile then and it's criminal now."
Deliberately he stepped in close to her, crowding her with his much larger body.
"Someone should have turned you over their knee a long time ago." The words were too
low for anyone else to hear and he was sweeping past her to enter the room. Just for a
moment his glittering eyes slashed at her, burned her.
Every woman in the room reacted, eyes glaring at Jonas. Hannah held up her hand in
silent admission she'd provoked him. She allowed the rest of the officers into the room
before she took the dogs into the bedroom. Damon noticed she didn't return.
All the women were exhausted. Damon wanted everyone else gone. It seemed more
important to push more tea into the Drake sisters' hands, to tuck blankets around them, to
shield them from prying eyes when they were obviously so vulnerable. He stayed close to
Sarah while she was questioned re-

peatedly. The medical examiner removed the body and the crime scene team went over the
room.
Each of the sisters gave a separate report so it seemed an eternity until Damon had the
house back in his control. "Thanks, Abbey, I don't know how you managed to get that
name, but hopefully they'll be able to stop anyone else from coming after me."
Abbey closed her eyes and laid her head against the backrest of the chair. "It was my
pleasure. Will you answer the phone? Tell Elle we're too tired to talk but have her tell the
others we're all right."
"The phone isn't ringing." But he was already walking into the kitchen to answer it. Of
course it wasn't ringing. Yet. But it would. And it did. And he reassured Elle he wouldn't
leave her sisters and all was well in their world.
It seemed hours before he was alone with Sarah. His Sarah. Before he could frame her
face in his hands and lower his head to kiss her with every bit of tenderness he had in him.
"There was something I saw, a shadow, dark and grim. I felt it had been on me, with me,
and now it's gone. That sounds ridiculous, Sarah, but I feel lighter, as if a great burden is
off of me. You know what I'm talking about, don't you?"
"Yes." She said it simply.
His gaze moved possessively over her face. "You look so tired. I'd carry you to bed, but we
wouldn't make it if I tried."
She managed a small smile. "It would be okay if you dropped me on the floor. I'd just go
to sleep."
He helped her through the hall to the stairs. "Hannah has the turret leading to the
battlement, doesn't she?"
Sarah was pleased that he knew. "The sea draws her. The wind and rain. It helps her to
be there, up high, where she can see it all. I'm glad you understand."
He went up the stairs behind her, ready to break her fall should there be need. Ready to
do whatever it took to protect her. "It surprises me that I feel the power in this house, but I
do. I'm a scientist. None of this makes sense, what you and your sisters are. Hell, I don't
even know how I'd describe you, but I know it's real."
"Stay with me tonight, Damon," Sarah said. "I feel very weary, like I'm stretched thin.
When you're with me, I'm not so lost."

94 CHRISTINE FEEHAN
"You'd have to throw me out, Sarah," he replied truthfully. "I know I love you and I want
you for my wife. I don't ever want us to be apart."
"I feel the same, Damon." Sarah pushed open the door to her bedroom and collapsed on
the large four-poster bed. She looked beautiful to him, lying there, waiting for him to
stretch out beside her.
Her window faced the sea. Damon could see the water, a deep blue, waves swelling high,
collapsing, rushing the shores and receding as it had for so many years. Peace was in his
heart and mind. Soft laughter came from various parts of the house. It swept through the
air, and tilled the house with joy. Sarah was back. Sarah was home. And Damon had come
home with her.
