I shifted on my seat. Elijah hadn’t asked me for a penny since we had started sleeping together. At least now, I fully understood why. “Maybe he’s busy at the academy.”

“Maybe he’s too scared to associate with us after we got arrested for treason.”

“Probably,” I muttered.

She turned to me, her eyes wide. “What?”

I raised a shoulder. “Let’s just say I’m revoking his invitation to this home.”

Tears of joy glistened in her eyes. “Really?”

I swallowed hard. Had seeing us together been that difficult for Sicily? I guess it had, judging by the trembling of her lips. She only made that face when something had moved her deeply.

Sicily wrapped her arms around me in a hug so tight, it cut off my air. “Even if he takes away the TV and DVD player, we’ll manage.”

I squeezed back. “No more low-lives.”

Later that night, I dreamed of kneeling before Prince Caulden in the back of a racing carriage with my lips wrapped around his dick. One hand pumped his shaft up and down, while another massaged his balls. I squeezed my legs together, trying to create a bit of friction for my engorged clit, but I didn’t want to stop touching Prince Caulden for anything.

“Unity.” He shuddered under my touch. “You’re so beautiful, and I can’t wait until we’re mated.”

My wings fluttered with joy. The strand of golden hair falling into my face jolted me out of my dream. Shit. I blew out a long, frustrated breath. I had been enjoying that. It was probably time to wake up.

Warm lips pressed on my collarbone, and a large hand cupped my breast. Its owner rolled my nipple between his thumb and forefinger, sending jolts of pleasure straight to my hungry core.

“What’s this?” I thought I’d woken up.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about you,” said a deep voice that made my nerve endings sing.

My eyes fluttered open and met the ceiling of a room made of ice. I lay on a cushioned platform with animal skins beneath my naked body, caressing my skin with their soft pelts.

Placing one kiss after another on my nipples was Prince Caulden. He lay on top of me, balancing his weight on his elbows. But most importantly, he was naked with a hot erection pressing into my thigh.

“What are you doing?” I whispered.

He raised his head and peered at me through a flushed face and eyes with blown pupils. “I couldn’t focus on anything when I returned to the academy. At mealtimes, I couldn’t eat. Those words you whispered in the carriage kept my sword standing the entire day.”

Each kiss sent sparks exploding across my body, and all thoughts of this being a dream melted away. Wrapping my arms around Prince Caulden’s neck, I arched into his touch. In this human body, I could have sex any time I wanted, and if he continued kissing me like this, I might beg for him to pound me until I shattered.

“How did you get into my home?” I asked. “Did you carry me out?”

He wrapped his hands around my wrists, pinning them above me on the bed. “You bear my magic. I can command you anywhere I wish.”

My nipples rubbed against his warm chest, sending sparks skittering down to my aching core. “So, all those things you said about keeping an eye on me were—”

“True.” He pressed a kiss against my lips. “My brother wanted me to track you down and have you locked up, and I suggested we keep you under surveillance in case you led us to any rebels.”

“That was good thinking,” I slid my fingers through his silken, blue hair.

His grey eyes twinkled with the beginnings of a smile. “And tonight, I intend to watch you very thoroughly.”

This was like having the best of the human and fae worlds—a sexy lover who had no ulterior motive to be with me and an anonymous life in Doolish with my sister. But it was almost too good to be true. I’d had salt, so it couldn’t be a glamor, but what was happening? I hoped it was just me being overly skeptical.

“Why?” I whispered. “Why go to all this effort for a human?”

He drew back and ran his fingertips down the side of my face. “Unity, you’re the most exquisite creature I’ve ever met. I want us to rule the Winter Court together.”
