Healing Portals

The Universe Chronicles Book 5

by Claire Davon

Genre: Paranormal Romance

When Katrina Paul is summoned to rescue an agent in the middle of the night, she does so without hesitation. The last thing she expects is her old flame Derek to come tumbling through her hasty portal. She’d left Toronto—and Derek—behind when she’d relocated to Richmond for good reason.

If not for Katrina’s ability, healing talent Derek Forester would have been trapped in a mission gone wrong. He hadn’t expected to see Katrina again, but he had never forgotten the way she made him feel. He’d done the right thing, but seeing her again made him question the wisdom of that choice.

Almost as soon as he arrives, mysterious entities begin plaguing them. Someone is trying to keep them together and engineered his rescue to Richmond. It has the touch of the mysterious new entity Whisper, but why?

Soon they are on the run, keeping one step ahead from energy beings that find them no matter where they go. When a crisis triggers a new, hidden talent between them, it becomes clear that this entire situation has been a setup. Right from the beginning.

As the truth about their power begins to emerge, Katrina realizes that she’s never stopped loving Derek. But when they learn that everything they understood about their past and their present is false, they wonder if anything between them is real.

At the critical moment of danger, will their talent save them? Or will they lose it all in a fiery cataclysm that dooms their hearts—and their lives?

She shouldn’t kiss him. It could lead to trouble.

His lips were cool and dry, bringing the chill of the night air with them before they warmed. For long seconds all he did was slide his mouth across hers. Friction and a delicious anticipation curled through her body. Katrina let out a low sound and put her hand on his head, holding him to her. Derek groaned and opened his mouth, pressing his tongue inside her. She gave him the pent-up passion soaring through her. She shifted, meeting his tongue with her desire, tangling them together. She swayed and Derek collected her in his arms. They were still seated, their legs crossed, and she groaned in frustration.

“Come. Let’s get comfortable.”

Katrina swallowed, aware of their close proximity and the fact that the two of them were alone in the tent. It would be natural, given their past and her obvious desire, to think that she would sleep with him. She couldn’t make the same mistake a second time.

“Derek . . .”

“Just kissing. That’s all. You and I are getting acquainted again. I am dying to kiss you, Katrina. I’ll go as far, or as little, as you tell me. It’s not right to start something with you when I’m not sure where this is going. If we do wind up horizontal, it has tomean something.”

For a man with no sensitive abilities, he was pretty damnedintuitive.

“That’s what I need too, Derek,” she admitted, and was glad she could give voice to her attraction.

“Good. Can I come in?”

She tried to laugh, but passion tangled within her and it came out as a soft moan. “I’d like that.”

“Me too.” He opened the sleeping bag. She slid in with him and he folded it around them. His body heat was intoxicating, his warmth and the bag making her cocooned and secure.

The sensation was the best thing she’d experienced in a long time.

Derek brushed her hair back from her face and kissed her forehead before placing a kiss to her eyelid and lower, across her nose before feathering a second kiss on her lips. Katrina turned her face to his and asked for more without speaking words. He was quick to oblige, pressing into the small of her back. Katrina wished she could abandon all restraint and give in to what her instincts were screaming for, but she’d done that once and it hadn’t ended well. She had to be smart this time.

Desire raced through her. After several heated caresses she gave a regretful sigh and moved back from him. Her breasts were heavy with need and longing suffused her core but Katrina still stopped.

He pressed one more kiss to her forehead before adjusting their bodies so she was lying half on top of him. Then he put one arm around her waist and the second on her shoulders. She sprawled over him, sleep already taking her.

“Time for rest,” he said in a strangled tone. “Thank you, Katrina.”

“For what?” Her mind was starting to drift.

“For letting me kiss you. For not holding our past against me. Get some sleep. We’ll figure things out in the morning.

Claire can’t remember a time when writing wasn’t part of her life. Growing up, she used to write stories with her friends. As a teenager she started out reading fantasy and science fiction, but her diet quickly changed to romance and happily-ever-after’s. A native of Massachusetts and cold weather, she left all that behind to move to the sun and fun of California, but has always lived no more than twenty miles from the ocean.

In college she studied acting with a minor in creative writing. In hindsight she should have flipped course studies. Before she was published, she sold books on eBay and discovered some of her favorite authors by sampling the goods, which was the perfect solution. Claire has many book-irons in the fire, most notably her urban fantasy series, The Elementals’ Challenge series, but writes contemporary and shifter romances as well.

While she’s not a movie mogul or actor, she does work in the film industry with her office firmly situated in the 90210 district of Hollywood. Prone to breaking out into song, she is quick on feet and just as quick with snappy dialogue. In addition to writing she does animal rescue, reads, and goes to movies. She loves to hear from fans, so feel free to drop her a line.
