Devils Kiss
“As she knelt beside him in the darkness, she felt how agony tightened his features, his long body, his eyes shut as if to block out the pain wracking him. Most frightening was that he made almost no sound, just a barely audible groan through clenched teeth.
Damn that mad ghost, leaving Zora without any means of helping Whit or knowledge of what was happening to him. Seeing him in such pain tore at her own heart, made worse by her complete helplessness.
Perhaps there was a canteen in his satchel.... She didn’t know what a drink might do for him, but it was better than the nothing she offered him now.
She cursed. The satchel remained with the horses. If she went to retrieve it, Whit would be alone. She could not abandon him, not for a moment.
The tremors harrowing him suddenly stopped. Her pulse stuttered as Whit went lax beneath her hands. Was he ... ? No. He breathed. Deep, even breaths. He groaned softly, coming back from that place of suffering.
Thank God. Relief turned her bones to jelly.MoreLess
