But she couldn’t reply.
“Rima,” he repeated, his voice seeming to come from somewhere far away.
“Rima.”
Rima awoke in her reading nook, tangled in the big afghan blanket.
The window was open and crisp air swirled in.
But all she saw was Magnum, crouched over her, his hazel eyes dark with concern.
“It was only a dream,” he told her.
But it had been so real, and the blood on his chest had been so frightening.
The look in his eyes.
Without thinking, Rima reached up and wound her arms around his neck, planting soft kisses over his rough cheeks.
He groaned in surrender and then his arms were around her. He caught her lower lip between his teeth, licking and tugging at it, as he tangled a hand in her hair, pulling her closer and closer.
It was better, better than the dream, better than anything she could have imagined. Maybe this time he would finally choose her, take her…
A loud knock sounded on the partially open door.
Magnum released Rima and sat up immediately.
Rima closed her eyes, wishing she could scream. But her manners stifled her voice just as effectively as her nightmare had.
“Sorry, Rima,” Bond said from the doorway, realizing she wasn’t alone. “Oh, wow, sorry, guys.”
“What is it?” Magnum’s deep voice filled the tiny room.
“We’ve got trouble,” Bond said.
Magnum rose.
“Stay here,” he said to Rima over his shoulder as he moved to shut the door behind him.
He was crazy if he thought she would stay put instead of checking out the situation.
She scrambled out of the blanket, smoothed down her dress and took a deep breath to calm herself before heading out the door herself.
