Page 146 of Never Kiss a Fae
He stared me down for a long moment before nodding. “Bring her back, Spirit King.”
I held out my hand for hers and smiled. “If I have it my way, it’ll be Exos who brings her back.”

Sol
“She’s so small,” I muttered. Not necessarily as small as Aflora or my little sister had been, but definitely smaller than me.
“Who?” Vox asked as he worked on fixing my latest damage to the Spirit Quad.
What had once been a dining table was now a pile of splinters that Vox meticulously worked to reassemble. It took incredible power and concentration for the Air Fae to align each broken shard back together.
I hadn’t meant to break it. Frustration had gotten the better of me, and, well, yeah.
“Who?” Vox repeated, a hint of impatience in his tone.
“Oh. Claire.” Who else could I be talking about? “She’s just so much smaller than me.”
“And?” he prompted, finally looking at me.
“I just…” I palmed the back of my neck, uncertain of how to word it. Maybe it was easier if I just said nothing at all. I mean, Vox didn’t need to know. He probably had his own issues to deal with where Claire was concerned. “Never mind.”
“Oh, no. I want to know why you said that. Why are you thinking about her height?”
“It’s not so much her height as it is her overall size,” I huffed. “She’s so small.”
“Yeah, you said that.” He folded his arms. “Why do you care?”
“Don’t you?” I demanded. “I mean, you hear her at night just like I do. You have to think about it.” And there were the words I didn’t mean to say. By the shock on Vox’s face, they also weren’t the ones he expected.
“You’re talking about… like…” He made a gesture that left me frowning.
“What the fuck is that supposed to be?”
“You know.”
“No, I really don’t.” It had looked like… well, I didn’t know. He’d scissored his fingers like he wanted to give her a haircut. “You’ve had sex before, right?”
He blanched. “Sol!”
“What?” I demanded. “Come on, with that little gesture, it’s a valid question.”
“We’re not having this conversation.”
“You’re the one who asked me what I was thinking about. Now you have an answer.” One he appeared to be judging me for, which was completely unfair. “You can’t tell me you’ve not thought about it, because I’ve noticed the abundance of showers lately.”
“Oh, Elements,” Vox said, looking up at the ceiling.
“All I said is she’s small, okay?” I grumbled. “I realize you don’t have to worry about that, but I do.”
“What happened to not wanting to mate with her?” Vox prompted.
“I… I don’t want that.”I think. Maybe. Fuck. I don’t know.I shook my head. “It was just a thought, okay?”
“About her size in bed.”
“And how I could break her,” I growled. “Never mind. Just keep doing whatever you’re doing.”
