fear when getting personal could mean his life, or the death of her alternative world? It had been so long since she felt so drawn to a man like that.
“Never make it personal,” Valdon always said. What if she did?
“If you can’t keep your hands off the mortal, then jerk him off and get some chi out of it,” Dante said, leaning up against a rock, his arms crossed.

“Back off!” Sakari snarled.
“Hey, hey, hey. What’s all the yelling about?” the man said in a groggy tone. He blinked several times, squinted, then focused on Sakari. “You. You’re back.”
“So I am,” she stammered. “Are you all right?” He remembered me.
“Who are you?” the man asked.
She glanced at Dante and tried to hide her concern. He had his arms crossed and had a scowl across his face. “Sakari.” She introduced Dante and Valdon.
He tried to get up and winced. “What happened?” She and Valdon helped him sit up. The tan-colored animal skin wrapped around his waist looked peculiar and sexy at the same time.
“Why are you wearing that?”
Leaning on Sakari for support, he glanced down and rubbed his face with his hand.
“Can you keep a secret?” He grinned, looking a little intoxicated.
“What kind of secret?” Sakari asked, worried. Would Valdon kill this mortal if he knew something about them? No, don’t tell us any secrets, she willed. “You never told us your name.”
“Brad.” He glanced down at his fur again, tugging on it to make sure it covered him. He smiled. ”Yeah, that would take some explaining.”
“What do you remember?” Dante asked cautiously. He flashed Sakari a warning look but she wasn’t sure why.
He looked up at the moon as if it held a clue. “I was out for a ride on my Harley and a stroll in the desert, sort of. And an animal attacked me. I think.”
“What’s a Harley?” Sakari asked.
Brad turned and stared at her. “You don’t get out much, do you?” Rubbing his head, he pushed away from Valdon and tried to walk, stumbled and fell.
Valdon turned to Dante and pointed in the direction of the portal. “Leave now.”
The firmness in his voice and his position was not to be challenged. Dante nodded and marched off into the shadows toward the portal.
Brad got up and staggered farther away. “Need to drive home,” he said, not noticing Dante leaving.
“Hey!” Sakari ran over to Brad. He was trying to climb onto his motorcycle, then realized he forgot something. “You can’t drive that thing.” He couldn’t walk straight, never mind drive a machine with only two wheels.
“Need my helmet and boots.”
“No, you’re injured. We’ll take you home. You can’t drive this thing now.”
Brad appeared to consider that for a moment, then exhaled. “I think you’re right.
But I still don’t know what you were doing out here.” He leaned on his motorcycle for support. The fight had obviously drained him but Sakari knew his strength and power would soon return.

“We were driving back to town and saw a commotion off the side of the road,”
Valdon said. “We stopped. Must have seen the animal attack.”
“Must have,” Brad pursed his lips together. It didn’t look like he believed their story. “I think it was a coyote. Weird. There was a guy though, having sex.”
Valdon shot her a look and she quickly thrust a thought toward Brad’s mind, a sensual image of her and him lying on the sand naked with Valdon observing and jerking off. “What other guy?” she asked.
Brad rubbed his forehead and looked around. “Never mind. My mistake. And what happened to the other guy who was with you?”
“Had to leave,” Valdon said.
Brad made a face as if he didn’t like the answer but thought it better not to ask why.
Valdon glanced at her and gave her a slight nod of approval. She let out a breath of relief. Then the sparkle in Valdon eyes gave her an unmistakable message. He wanted her to seduce Brad. Here?
