that easily, Doc.”
“I’m serious, Kenric. This is not a decision to take lightly.”
“I’ve spent the last two months wondering where the hell you were and how I was going to find you again. I want to be with you, Saffron.”
She kissed him. Threw her arms around his neck and plastered her mouth to his. She poured everything into that kiss. His rumbling growl reverberated up her spine and spread throughout her body.
“Much more like it.” Hathor’s voice floated in her mind.
Beneath her feet, Saffron could feel the earth settling down a bit. She sighed and sank into the man who held her in his arms. He was everything she could ever want.
“I love you, Kenric.”
He drew back and stared at her. “Can we do that? Talk like that now?”
“There is so much for you to learn, my love.”
“You have a most willing pupil.”
“Come, we must go back.”
He dragged a finger along her breasts. “No time for a quick celebration?”
“No. You have work to do and so do I. But…we have tonight.”
His laughter followed them back into the tent. He arched a brow at her but she stepped from the tent, once again dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt, leaving him to follow.
“Kenric!” Rahmon hollered. “I see you found Dr Eshe. I was looking for you, to introduce her.”
She felt warm all over when Kenric slid his arm around her. “No need for that. She’s my wife.”
Rahmon glanced between them both. “I … I didn’t know. Kade never said anything.”
“He doesn’t know,” Saffron put in. “I smell something wonderful.” She brushed by them and headed to the food tent.
Hearing him call her his wife eclipsed anything she’d experienced before.
“Plan on hearing it every day, Saffron.”
She reached for a plate of food and sent him a heated look over her shoulder. “ I do, husband.”
She watched him walk towards her. His swagger unmistakable, his intensity off the charts, and what made it even better was he was all hers.
Damn right.
She kept her eyes on him as he strode up to her the rest of the way and kissed her. With a whimper, she fought to remain on her own feet as he pulled away. “Let’s get to work, honey,” he said with a smile. “The sooner we do this, the sooner we get to go home.”
Home. What a wonderful word, and one that, before Kenric, she didn’t even have in her vocabulary. She had houses. Now, with him, she had a home.
“I like the sound of that.”
“Me too, love. Me too. I love you, Saffron.”
The look he gave her solidified his statement. And she knew the rest of her life would never be the same, but it would be so much better.

Excerpt
Chapter One
That feeling was back…again. Barely containing the shiver—although not entirely unpleasant—that coursed through his body and made him weak in the knees, the man cleared his throat and swallowed before continuing with his lecture.
“Are you okay, Professor?” a student asked from the front row.
The man nodded his dark head and flashed the students in his class one of his winning smiles. The women longed to have that smile mean more than it ever would. His classes were always full. Both men and women wanted to take his class. He taught with vigour most people didn’t see anymore. He taught about ancient Egypt. Although, truth be told, Egyptian mythology was his true passion.
“I’m fine, thank you.” His voice was deep and soothing; the sort of voice that could offer comfort or bring immense pleasure, depending on how he wanted it to be heard. Blinking, he put his eyes back on his class. “Now, where was I?”
“Just about to tell us about the Valley of the Kings,” the same student spoke.
He grinned and responded, “So I was. Okay.” He swept his gaze across the smaller group study he was doing today. There were only about fifty in this class. Damn, Damian, you
