Enticed by Ecstasy (Wicked Treasures) (10 page)

“Abigail,” her father screamed.
 
“Help me.”

Abby swallowed, but refused to answer.
 
The hyenas had begun to close in around him and the men.
 
A few of the men took shots at the pack, and a few even managed to kill a hyena or two, but it was too late.
 
The hyenas growled before they charged.

Their screams mixed with the growls of the animals echoed through the jungle.
 
She and Channing were about to run when one of the hyenas looked at them.

A moment later, he turned back to the slaughter.
 
She took Channing’s hand and together they ran toward his home.
 
After they had gone a safe distance, Channing stopped and pulled her into his arms.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered.

She knew he referred to her father’s death.
 
“I’d like to say I’m going to miss him, but I’m not.
 
He was an evil man who got what he deserved in the end.”

Channing leaned back.
 
“And you?
 
What have you gotten?”

She smiled and smoothed a lock of black hair away from his forehead.
 
“I got the best gift of all.
 
You.”

“I’m falling in love with you,” he admitted softly, his coffee colored eyes serious.

“Good, because I’ve already fallen in love with you.”

His head dipped to take her lips in a kiss.
 
Abby rose up on tiptoe, eager to taste him once more.
 
And just as their lips brushed against each other, monkeys above them began to scream and jump up and down in the trees.

Abby shared a laugh with Channing as they raised their gaze to watch the monkeys.

“Are you sure you want this?” he asked and spread his arm wide to encompass all of Africa.

She took a deep breath and looked into his eyes.
 
The forever she’d always dreamed was standing right before her.
 
A life full of adventure and danger.
 
And love.
 

“Absolutely.”

“Just what I wanted to hear,” he said before he took her lips in a searing kiss.
