    Summary

    Reaching for the release button on her belt, she unlatches the thing and pulls it off into one hand before abandoning it on Emmrich’s floor. He stares at her, one hand on his knee and the other still holding his place in the book he’s apparently forgotten. It’s nearly slipping out of his lap.

    “Is this seat taken?” she asks, already feeling rather breathless.

    Summary

    The hand not resting on her hip moved to cup her cheek, leaving her thoroughly breathless. “After our…moment, where I summoned those wisps upstairs, I sensed something had changed between us. You withdrew. I can’t say I blamed you.”

    Rook opened her mouth, but Emmrich brushed his thumb over her lower lip, much like he had moments ago over her new scars. “Permit me to finish, please.” He had never once interrupted her, or anyone else on the team, for that matter. So Rook fell silent, heart pounding wildly. “I am much older than you. It is why I didn’t fall on my knees for you the moment I met you in the Necropolis and your earnest compliment of my helm made me blush like a schoolboy. How could such a bold, daring, beautiful young woman ever return my affections?”

    Oh. Oh…

    Emmrich continued, and his fingers tightened on her hip almost possessively. “Rook. Renya.” She shuddered at the use of her given name. “If there is any hope for a foolish old man, would you tell me?” He traced her cheekbone, down her neck, coming to a rest to cup the back of her head. “The beautiful blushes you favor me with, do they mean you feel the same way? Or that you are too shy to tell me no?”

    Summary

    Rook has just one thing holding her back from going all the way with Emmrich, and decides it's time to share a deeply personal secret with her fellow necromancer.

    Lots of fluff with some good ol' smut.

    Summary

    Forensic pathologist, Emmrich Volkarin, meets the woman who has been hired to landscape the cemetery that neighbours his home. As their paths intersect and they grow swiftly closer, Emmrich finds himself battling his feelings. Battling his feelings, and growing dangerously close to failing, something Rook only seems to encourage.

    And it wasn’t just her forthright, sometimes clumsy, always charming physical overtures, which were already staggering: to be desired by someone young and splendid. It was her trust. The way she looked at him like he had all the answers. The way she opened her heart to him, even as he held his back by a leash. It couldn’t be as it appeared: it simply wasn’t possible. No matter how pure her intentions, women like her did not settle for men like him.
