Chapter 9:Three weeks later, Thessaly stood in the kitchen making bread while Caspian worked on repairing a section of the fence. The storm had passed, the satellite phone had been fixed, and she'd made exactly one phone call.To her landlord, to cancel her lease.Everything else in Seattle could be handled remotely or abandoned. She didn't need much from her old life. Didn't want much.What she wanted was here. In this cabin, with this man, in this wild beautiful place."You're doing it wrong," Caspian said from the doorway, making her jump."I'm following the recipe exactly!""The recipe is wrong. Here." He came up behind her, his hands covering hers on the dough. "Knead it like this. More pressure. You have to be firm with it."Thessaly leaned back against his chest. "Is this a metaphor?""Maybe. How's the dough feel?""Firm. Strong. Capable.""Good. That's what you're aiming for." He kissed her neck. "You're getting better at this domestic stuff.""Don't sound so surprised. I'm a

"Talk to me, what do we got?" she barked, her fingers already moving with practiced precision. "GSW to the chest, collapsed lung, internal bleeding," her resident stammered. "BP is dropping, he's crashing." "Then stop standing ther

Chapter 2:The next three days followed a pattern. Sable would check on Dash twice a day, he'd flirt shamelessly despite being in pain, she'd shut him down and leave. But each visit lasted a little longer. Because despite everything, despite knowing who he was and what he did, Sable found him fascinating. He was intelligent. Darkly funny. He read actual books, classic literature, not the crime novels she'd expected. He asked about her work, her life, and actually listened when she talked. And the way he looked at her. Like she was the most interesting thing in his world. Like saving his life had created some kind of bond between them. It was intoxicating and dangerous and Sable knew she should stop visiting outside of medical necessity. But she didn't.

Sable asked, three glasses of wine in and feeling brave."By being smarter and more ruthless than everyone else. By never backing down. By taking what I wanted and keeping it." His eyes held hers. "I'm not a good man, Sable. I've done things that would make you sick. But I have a code. I protect my people. I don't hurt innocents. And I always, always pay my debts.""Is that what I am? A debt to be paid?""You're the woman who saved my life when you could have let me die. When most people would h
