“Indescribable,” Rusk said lightly, as he traced a design on the back of my hand. I knew he was as worried as I was. There was a tension I his shoulders that hadn’t left all evening, but he was backing me up on this, unwavering in his courage.
“Do you wish you could stay here?” I asked, playing with the tether.
“Not if you’re going through that door,” he said, and as he wrapped me in his arms it felt like he meant it. “Remember, Wild Girl, I want to be daring right along with you. Don’t leap without me.”
Tomorrow we would go through the door. Tomorrow we might live or die. There’d be a whole new world to conquer. But tonight was just for us. I looked up into his honey warm eyes, and let the fire I felt for him consume the fear. When he kissed me I believed – if only for that night - that everything would be alright.
We’d found the Teeth of the Gods and now we were going to ride one to their home.
