that was what Tor thought the god meant
by all that. Was there a chance Kenna was his? His reaction to her made him
think there was a possibility. But he’d have to wait and find out.
    Leaving the temple, Tor shut the door behind him, his
thoughts turning to the demons Anubis had warned him about. It did not bode
well for mortals to have those creatures roaming free amongst them. Demons were
cruel and vicious, took joy in the pain of others. If one was to actually find
Tor, he’d be more than happy to send the demon to the underworld to face
Anubis. The spells gave Tor pause, though. He had no magic available to him to
counteract whatever the demon would use on him. The gifts Anubis had given Tor
were immortality, the ability to shape-shift to take down evildoers and send
them to the underworld and to will any weapon he needed into his hand. Magic
spells weren’t part of the package.
    With time to kill before he could go back to the Luxor to
meet up with Kenna, Tor decided some sword practice was what he needed to make
the hours pass more quickly. He headed for his room to change into some other
clothes. He’d have a strenuous workout, then take a shower before getting ready
for his very first date. And if he was lucky, he’d get a chance to see if Kenna
could actually be his.

    Kenna had to force herself to stop looking at the clock on
the computer screen in front of her every few minutes. It wasn’t going to make
the end of her shift come any sooner, nor have Tor show up.
    For the rest of the day, she’d only gone through the motions
of what were her duties at work, her mind half the time a million miles away,
focused on the man she looked forward to seeing again.
    Twenty minutes before Kenna’s shift was to end, her manager,
Carol, came behind the reception desk to talk to her. Carol was part of the
reason Kenna loved her job so much. The other woman was a dream to work with.
Having started at the bottom and working her way up to her current management
position, Carol didn’t look down her nose at any of those under her since she’d
been in their place at one time. She was also about ten years older than Kenna.
    “So I heard you had a bit of a run-in with someone who
wanted to give you a hard time,” Carol said.
    Kenna knew exactly who Carol referred to—the man Tor had
chased off. “How did you learn about that?”
    Her manager chuckled. “I received an irate phone call from
him. He wanted me to suspend you without pay, and to make sure guests like the one
who was rude to him were never allowed in the Luxor. I’m interested to hear
about this other man.” Carol winked.
    Kenna smiled and shook her head. “I can’t believe the idiot
called you, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since he didn’t want to take no
for an answer, no matter how many times I told him it was against hotel policy.
I’d thought for sure Tor would have shut him up.”
    “Tor, huh? I take it this is the guest he talked about?”
    “Yeah, though Tor isn’t a guest. At least I’m pretty sure he
isn’t. I’ll find out once he takes me out for dinner at the end of my shift.”
    “In that case, I’d better hang around to see this knight in
shining armor who saved you from the idiot. So what does Tor look like?”
    “Tall, dark, handsome, and as Nick would say, built like a
brick shithouse.”
    “Oh, he sounds delicious. I can always go for some eye
candy. You know old married ladies like me need to get some of that every now
and then.”
    “As if you don’t have any of that every day. I’ve met your
husband, remember? Malcolm is gorgeous, and you know it.”
    Carol laughed. “True, but I can still appreciate other
good-looking men.”
    “That’s true,” Kenna said with a laugh.
    “And I think your tall, dark and sexy just arrived,” Carol
said as she jerked her head to a spot behind Kenna. “Wow. With that tanned skin
and dark looks, he really is exotic-looking.”
    Kenna turned around to see Tor headed
