Chapter 75

The joy on her face when she sits astride Heathcliff’s back for the

first time – a little chill runs down his spine. He can’t help feeling

just…purely happy.

Last night, in the car, seeing Fay shake like that – the shock, the

trauma in every muscle- it was one of the worst feelings of his

life. He frowns, thinking of it now, of his extreme reaction to Fay’s

physical danger.

he hasn’t lost people to this business before, hasn’t put his loved

ones on the line on an almost–daily basis. So what was it about

this girl that made him absolutely horrified at the thought of her in

danger?

Kent grits his teeth, uncomfortable with the potential answers

to this question. He knows that he wants her on a physical level

walks towards the riding rink.

The lesson is coming to a close, the instructor talking eagerly to Fay, who smiles down at him from her place on the gelding’s back.
