Crystal Warrior: Through All Eternity (Atlantean Crystal Saga Book 1) (73 page)

Torr observed her for a moment from beneath frowning brows, taut mouth slowly relaxing into a smile. Then he tossed back the last of his wine and rose to his feet.

‘That’s fantastic,’ he declared, ‘now drink up, woman! We’ve got three weeks’ worth of loving to make up before the little warriors return home in—six hours, if we’re lucky! I’ve a yen to get started right away.’

‘I thought we already had,’ Georgina smiled, as she downed the last drops of her wine.

‘That was just the appetizer, my beautiful Gina,’ he murmured, coming round the table, and sweeping her up into his arms—again.

‘Where shall it be? In the grotto at the bottom of the lawn? In the King’s stadrag on the sacks of gold—I can only suggest the nearest equivalent to that is my office desk where I earn much of my money. Or in the royal apartments on the great royal bed?’

Laughing a challenge up at him, Georgina pressed her fist to his square, cleft chin and demanded, ‘All three will be lovely, thank you!’

Their shared laughter surrounded them as he kicked the back door open and carried her down the path to the grotto that sheltered a steaming spa.

‘Some things,’ Torr declared softly, ‘are more important than horses or war—or mining and movies. I have—and will—love you, my Gina, through all eternity.’

AUTHOR’S NOTE

I started writing the ancient part of Crystal Warrior in 1997. When it was finally completed I gave it to a friend to read. She was so traumatized by the devastating end of Atlantis that I decided I had to find a way to mitigate that and create for the characters a happy outcome.

So Crystal Warrior became a ‘Past Life Travel’.

The writing of this story and its sequel, Crystal Dancer, has been a rite of passage for myself, a pilgrimage I am glad not to have missed. I hope you have enjoyed Gyn’a and Taur’s journey of love ‘through all eternity’ and if you want to know Ugo’s story, check out Crystal Dancer, also available on Amazon.
