A Lover For Rachel Read Online Free Page A

remembered once reading something about what he said but would have to research it further should she ever get back home. “Okay. So what happened?”
    “Merlin and I fought on the eve before the great battle. I do not suppose you know the outcome?” His hopeful gaze filled her with remorse as she shook her head sadly.
    “Everything is shrouded in mists and legends. It’s said that Arthur and Modred killed each other on the great battlefield. No one really knows because no one has ever found anything that tells what actually happened. It’s also said that Arthur is buried in the mists of Avalon, whatever that means. Most of our history comes from a time many years after the events actually took place. So how did you end up here?”
    “Merlin brought me to the great monoliths and cast a spell upon it. He told me it was for my own good since I meddled too much. I only tried to save Arthur, as was my lot in life.” He hung his head, hands clasped before him. “I attempted to fight back, but I was no match for my master.”
    “I’m sorry.” Rachel laid a gentle hand upon his arm. “Is there anything that can break the spell?” She tried to comfort him the best she could since she still didn’t understand the circumstance of how he came to be under Stonehenge.
    Dewin stopped and gripped both of her hands. “I think you are the one to break the spell.”
    Shocked, she yanked her fingers away. “What do you mean, I can break the spell?”
    He reached out and pulled her hands back into his, his rough fingers rubbing gentle circles on hers. “Merlin’s spell was special...different.”
    She allowed him to massage her, to bring back the tightness in her breasts and the wetness to her crotch. Rachel wanted this man like she’d never desired another. And that was something her logical lawyer mind found hard to accept. She felt as if this was a dream she would be waking from any moment. “How different?” she questioned quietly.
    “I believe it involved a love spell of sorts.” His gaze made her body tingle in a foreign and wicked way.
    “Love spell?” she echoed, not wanting to believe her ears or his smoldering glance.
    “Yes. One that involved a very special woman who was born on a summer solstice, which was accompanied by a full moon. Was the moon full when you were born?”
    The earnestness of his question caught her off guard.
    She swallowed hard. Rachel had listened many, many times as her mother recounted the fullness of the moon as it cast shadows along the hills of her parents’ farm. Her mother always told her that night had been magical in so many ways. Now here she was in a place defined by magic. “Yes, it was.”
    “Ah…then the die is cast. You are my fate.” A dark shadow stubbled his sculpted jaw as his mane of black hair curled from his forehead to just below his ears. He really was a dream come true.
    “What does that mean?” Rachel’s husky voice whispered of her needs, waiting to be fulfilled.
    “Only you can free us.” Dewin moved even closer.
    “Me? How can I do that when I don’t really know where here is?” Her chest tightened and all her senses rocketed beyond any she’d ever known.
    “Only you have the power.” His gaze slid casually down her body before rising to meet hers.
    “I don’t understand.” She closed her eyes against the heat she saw sizzling in his gaze. What am I missing here?
    “I know and I cannot tell you, even though I want to.” His voice made her want to lean in closer as the sensual sound slid over her like a gentle caress.
    “Why can’t you?”
    “It is part of the spell. All I can tell you is that you are the key.”
    It distressed her heart that she could free them and yet she didn’t know the first thing about getting it done.
    “Please do not worry about it. Our freedom will find a way through our desire.” He began to caress her arms. “I would rather get back to what we were doing.”
    All other thoughts flew from her head as she
