I smiled.I like yours in mine, too.
Oddly, it wasn’t hard to talk to him without Shade hearing. It was like I had these mental switches that told me whom I was talking to.
That same switch connected to the doors to their thoughts, drawing my attention to Shade’s closed one. I hadn’t really noticed it before, his mental voice always strong inside my head, but he’d sealed off my ability to see into his mind. Likely because of his Fortune Fae heritage. I’d have to ask him about it later.
Can you use your earth magic to create a safe escape path?Zeph asked.Preferably one where the humans don’t see us.
You mean you don’t want to go invite them to have loaves with us?
He snorted into my mind.Cute, Aflora.
Just checking,I replied, smiling against his hand.Yeah, I can use some tree cover to help us out, but you’re going to have to tell me which direction because this place is huge.
I can do that, he agreed.
Then let’s go,I said, already outlining a path through the trees that would take us away from the humans trampling over the earth.When we get back, I want a shower, I added, grimacing as I took a step.My jeans are going to need to be washed, too.
Feeling a little damp, pixie flower? Too much seed for your lady garden?
I nearly choked out a laugh at the horrible joke.Don’t ever say that again.
He chuckled into my mind.Hmm, but I like growing inside you, Aflora. Rooting you so deep you’ll feel me all day.
Stop.
Making you blossom with pleasure around my thick?—
I elbowed him in the side.If you want me to get us out of here, you will stop right now.
His amusement touched my thoughts, but he ceased his dirty commentary.
Not that I hadn’t heard similar puns before. I was an Earth Fae. There was a myriad of sexy statements that could be made using the element as a base.
For the record, I enjoyed you taking root inside me,I told him as we walked.And I’m open to you doing it again as soon as we return to your flat.
Good, because I intend to fuck you against the shower wall next, he replied, his puns replaced by his usual crass approach.And then I’m going to fuck you in my bed.
I shivered.Will you bite me again, too?
Only if you beg.
I glanced up at him and gave him my best innocent look.Please, Headmaster Zephyrus. Bite me again.
“Fuck,” he muttered, grabbing my hand and yanking me down the path.
I grinned at his sudden haste.
Yeah, begging I could do.
Maybe I’d make him beg, too.
Chapter Thirty
AFLORA
Mmm,I like this, I thought, stretching against Zeph’s soft sheets.
Only, they were the wrong color.
