A Warrior's Redemption

Krista woke up, momentarily startled, and looked around. She was on her sofa and someone had covered her up with a blanket. It all came back to her now, Sebastian’s surprise announcement, Roric’s rough embrace and then his startling gentleness and announcement of his involvement in her past.
How had her ordered and disciplined life here at Sebastian’s suddenly been turned upside down? Change was the story of her life it seemed. Morning light was streaming in through the windows. She didn’t see Roric anywhere in the room. Judging from the rumpled condition of the chair across from her, she surmised that must have been where Roric had spent the night.
She smiled softly. Yet another facet had been revealed in the strange warrior who had stormed into her life and thoughts. He was a gentleman and he was kind. She remembered the gentle way he had treated her after his passionate embrace and shivered at the combination of both the memory of his passion, coupled with his gentleness of spirit. What a rare combination of elements to find in a man. He affected her like no man ever had.
