Me too.
“I have a feeling that a very bad girl lies under that good girl exterior,” he continues.
“Show me you care, and you’ll find out,” I whisper back.
“Oh, I care, Princess, you don’t need to worry about that.”
He releases me and I take in a deep breath.
“I’ll walk you as far as the Dark Fae lands. You can Puffport from there. I don’t want to die at the hands of your grandfather before I taste that sweet pussy of yours.”
My heart thumps at the thought of his mouth on me down there.
“Soon,” I murmur, unable to help myself.
He gives me a level look, but then takes my hand and leads me out of his room and down the stairs.
We move quickly and quietly and soon I’m back on the Dark Fae lands and safe.
“Thank you,” I say, squeezing his hand.
He brings our hands to his mouth and kisses mine. “Anytime, sweetheart.”
Then he’s gone.
I’m about to Puffport back into the palace, when a man comes out of the shadows.
I frown at him. “Were you following me?”

Raize
Istare at her beautiful face, scowling at me so hard, it must be giving her a headache.
“I was,” I inform her. “I saw you out here on your own, determined to do something incredibly stupid, so I followed you to make sure you were okay. Seems that your boyfriend was actually man enough to walk you back though.”
Her cheeks go hot. I can see the blush even in the dark, “He isnotmy boyfriend!” she exclaims. “Don’t you dare say that to anyone.”
“Wouldn’t dream of it,” I answer her, feeling the relief flood me that the woman that I love isn’t in fact, attached to a Light Fae scumbag.
Yet.
It’ll happen, but the longer it is until it does, the better. I don’t want to lose her. It will crush me when I have to watch her wed another when I want it to be me.
“Your hook-up then,” I goad her as she fumes at me.
I need to know if she’s sleeping with him. I need to know, like some sort of horror story that I have to keep reading to see what happens.
“No!” she practically yells at me. “Nothing of the sort.”
I can tell she is lying though. Maybe they aren’t fucking, but there is sure as shit something there. I saw it all over both of their faces.
“You don’t need to explain yourself to me,” I say lightly. “I don’t care one way or the other.” I wonder if she can see throughmylie as easily as I saw through hers.
“Humph,” she mutters and starts to walk towards the palace.
I fall into step beside her, wondering why she didn’t Puffport away from me. Perhaps she wants to be near me.
