where she pointed.
“I got, well, I wasn’t supposed to be out here. I kind of got caught.”
“You got in trouble for coming here?”
His expression showed concern as he focused on her eyes. She immediately felt him
pulling her from the inside but she wouldn’t look away.
“Gothman beat their children?” His eyebrow went up in astonishment.
She still didn’t look away. “A good soldier follows orders and doesn’t go where
they have specific instructions not to go.”
“True.”
He stood just a foot or so from her and focused on her intently. His smile returned
when she finally looked down, not knowing what else to say. She jumped when she felt
his hand go to the side of her head and remove Mirak’s hat.
“I’ve never seen such beautiful hair.” The tone of his voice changed and she looked
up curiously. “I was looking forward to seeing you today.”
“You were?”
“Yes. Tell me where we can meet where you won’t get in trouble. I don’t think I like
the idea of someone hitting you.”
He stroked several long strands of hair away from the side of her face. His touch
sent chills through her, and she stifled a gasp. He seemed to take her reaction as
encouragement and ran one finger down the side of her cheek.
“Do you have to leave now?”
She nodded.
“How can I enter Gothman to see you?”
She looked up into his emerald green eyes again, felt warmth from his gaze, and
smiled shyly.
“Would you do that? It could be dangerous.”
“To see you again?” His hand moved down toward her neck and he lowered his
head, kissing her gently on the lips.

Ana had dreamed about this. She had created this scene in her mind several times
since she’d first seen Roth from her glider. She’d imagined how he’d wrap her in his
arms and lean her over to kiss her passionately. Or, maybe he’d ask permission first like
some of the Runners did. She’d wondered if he’d be aggressive or gentle. She wasn’t
sure which way she’d prefer.
But Roth lowered his mouth to cover hers and brushed their lips together, gently
taking her lower lip between his. The roughness of his beard tickled her chin. She felt a
tremor race down to her legs. He must have felt it too because he released her from his
magic and backed away inches so he could once again hypnotize her with his beautiful
eyes.
“I’ll risk your military.” His finger brushed her cheek again. “But certainly you can
help me. There have to be places that aren’t guarded as much as others.”
“South of our house.” Ana lit up with excitement. “In the hills down there. We fly
through them all the time.”
“I’m not familiar with your country. How do I get there?”
“Well, if you’d be willing to fly me back home I could leave this glider with you.
Then you’d know where the hills are and you’d know how to get to them.” Ana devised
the plan as she spoke. Her insides shivered with excitement at the thought of having a
secret rendezvous.
“That’s an excellent idea.”
For a minute, she thought he’d pull her into his arms and kiss her again. Oh, she
wanted him to and her eyes must have been an open book because he almost laughed.
“I better take you home then. We don’t want you in trouble again.”
“Oh shit, you’re right.” She looked around quickly and realized the sun was rising.
“Come on, I’ll show you how to ride the glider and then you can drive for practice.”
Roth had no problem lifting them into the air and heading south along the
mountain range until they were parallel to her house. She wasn’t sure she’d ever seen
the sunrise make the rolling ground look more magnificent. There wasn’t any real need
to wrap her arms around Roth but when she’d climbed on behind him he’d taken her
hand and
