The moment Autumn crossed the threshold, she felt it.
The pull.
His presence
Her chest heaved. Her eyes scanned the surroundings as she shoved past one handler after another.
She moved past the last line of pillars into the Auction Hall as her escorts hurriedly caught up. They weren't going to let her out of sight anymore… nah! Once was enough!
And then Autumn's heart started dancing to a brand new song… There he was.
"Kieran… " She gasped into the name, still not able to believe what she was seeing… wondering if it was one of those dreams… or reality…
He wasn't far. Not more than twenty feet…Standing in the semi-dark, near a column of brass chains, his back to her, his body tense.
So close… yet such a dangerous distance.
So achingly close…she could almost feel the heat radiating off his skin.
Her breath caught…Her lips trembled.
"You came for me…"
He hadn't seen her yet. He was still.His gaze fixed ahead.
