“You’ll find I’m not a kidder.”
She could try all she wanted, but I was not missing this.
“So you’re a fae and have to keep your deals. What stops me from backing out?”
“Humans always did love lying and cheating.” Her face immediately flushed red with anger, but I didn’t see how she could possibly argue the fact. “If you want to try to renege on the deal, be my guest.” She wouldn’t truly believe me until she actually felt the effects of the magic herself.
There was a silent stand-off between us for a few moments. As though she waited for me to pounce.
But she would be disappointed. She had trapped herself in this room with me. I wouldn’t have to do a thing to hold her there.
She finally made a move to go past me, and I happily watched as she ran straight into the invisible barrier of the door.
She bounced back and only just regained her balance before she fell back to the floor. “You have got to be kidding me.”
“One of these days, you’ll realize I don’t kid.”
She crossed her arms over her chest, and I didn’t bother trying to hide my interest in the ample cleavage enhanced by the crossed arms.
“So, if I wanted to change my mind, then what?”
“You must really have something against showers.”
“This isn’t about the stupid shower. I’m curious. I want to know the rules.”
“Rules is a strict black-and-white. There’s a lot of gray where magic is involved.”
“That’s a lot of not answering my question.”
She was a scholar. It only made sense that she’d be curious. “If we both agree to cancel the deal and repeat the action used to seal it, then it would be broken. In our case, a touch.”
“Handshake,” she muttered.
“But I’m not letting you out of this one. Get your cute little ass in the shower and clean up. I’m tired.”
She rolled her eyes. “So sorry for keeping you waiting, Your Highness.”
I liked this annoyance from her. It meant she was less fearful and getting more used to me. I wanted her to obey me, but I didn’t want her to cower away or feel as if she needed to hide on the bathroom floor.
“There’s no deal I can make that will get you to close your eyes?”
“Sure. Promise to be my obedient bride and bear my children.”
She scoffed. “You’re the worst.”
I could tell from the sag in her shoulder and the way her analytical gaze circled the bathroom that she was finally going to give in.
After collecting some of the towels from her makeshift bed, she hung them on the towel rack next to the shower.
This washing unit included a shower that was above a tub that would hold water if the person wanted to soak. Soaking seemed more relaxing, though the falling water would surely be more efficient.
Once Raina was back at my castle, she would be able to take steamy baths whenever her heart desired. In fact, I looked forward to sharing those baths with her. Each one, I’d fill the water with a different flower. Every single color of bloom in the Land of Fae would look awe-inspiring against her tan skin.
My cock hardened at the kaleidoscope of sexual fantasies playing in my mind.
As excited as I was about seeing her naked, Raina was just as determined to deny me. She stepped into the tub fully clothed and tugged the hanging curtain closed to hide herself. The curtain wasn’t clear, sadly, though I could still make out the outline of her body through the cloudy material.
Even though she tried to take off her clothes as efficiently as possible, I’d never seen anything more erotic in my existence.
