“Yes, Ship performed the tests multiple times. We’re having one child, a female.” Sabria nibbled on her bottom lip, watching his face. “I know Balazoids don’t value female offspring.”
“I am not a Balazoid!” Darius roared. “I am Darius and I value female offspring.” He pressed his lips to her stomach, his mouth hot and gentle. “You are valued,” he murmured to their unborn child. “I will love and protect you as I love and protect your mother.”
“As I love and protect her father.” Sabria smoothed the wayward curl in Darius’ fine white hair.
“She will be as happy as we are.” Darius rested his cheek on her stomach, his breath wafting on her skin, and Sabria held him, the assassin she loved.
About Cynthia Sax
Cynthia Sax lives in a world where demons aren’t all bad, angels aren’t all good and magic happens every single day. Although her heroes may not always say, “I love you”, they will do anything for the women they love. They live passionately. They fight fiercely. They love the same women forever.
Cynthia has loved the same wonderful man forever. Her supportive hubby offers himself up to the joys and pains of research while they travel the world together, meeting fascinating people and finding inspiration in exotic places such as Istanbul, Bali and Chicago.
Cynthia welcomes comments from readers. You can find her website and email addresses on her author bio page at www.ellorascave.com.
