Valley of Silence (2010)
“In his experience, women dealt best with women’s tears. His own reaction to what they’d seen in the crystal hadn’t been fear, or relief, but sheer and simple frustration.
He’d been delegated to do no more than watch while others fought. Cozied in the bloody parlor with women and teacups, like someone’s aged grandfather.
While the training sessions were some level of entertainment, he hadn’t had a good fight since they’d left Ireland. Hadn’t had a woman in longer than that. Two very satisfying w...ays of releasing tension and energy had been denied to him—or he was denying them to himself.
Hardly a wonder, he thought, he was tied up in nasty knots over a pair of steady gray eyes.
He could seduce a serving girl, but that was fraught with complications and probably not worth the time or effort. He could hardly pick a fight with one of the very handy humans, which was too damn bad.
If he went out on a hunt he could likely scare up at least one or two of Lilith’s troops. But he couldn’t rev himself up to go out into the endless rain on the chance of a lucky kill.MoreLess
