Living together has changed us.
Inarian has a soft spot, letting me win that fight. He still looks a little hurt. Apparently when he was tortured, that was their favorite spot and he had multiple surgeries done on his wrist.
Jigsaw even said yes to being my hound, albeit quickly; I feel like it might have been just to piss Ledger off. Either way, I have three.
Death has opened his house to them all for the night.Male time, or whatever.
I pace my room late at night. Without Ledger or Jigsaw, I am bored.
Crash!
I freeze, eyes moving toward the noise. The bathroom. Ozias? No. He would talk to me. When I open the bathroom door, I see Ryker fixing his jacket. He looks up. “Hey.”
A snort leaves my throat. “Hi. What are you doing?”
He licks his lips. “I thought it would be romantic for our first date.”
I roll my eyes, and say, “I don’t date.”
“I know, you just fuck the guy and keep him around. I know. But I’m different. We are going on a date first.”
“I can’t leave, idiot.”
He smiles. “I know. We won’t. Can I… come in?”
With a chuckle, I step aside. “A little too late to ask.”
He moves into my room, looking around like he’s never been in a girl’s room before. “Nice place.”
“Thanks.”
He sits on the bed, looking up at me. “Have you ever felt fae magic before?”
I shake my head.
He flicks his wrist, and a blue ball of light appears, floating above his hand. “I’m going to take you somewhere. It’s my secret place. No one has ever found me there and no one will find you there.” He holds out his hand. “Do you trust me?”
Staring at him, I try to decide if I should trust someone like him. He’s never harmed me, in fact, he has helped me and my family out. I take his hand and nod.
Slowly, the air thickens as the crystal around his neck glows. The room around us begins to swirl and blend together, until finally, it’s completely gone.
“Open your eyes,” Ryker whispers.
Blinking, I look up at him. I didn’t even know my eyes were closed, and I didn’t notice that my body is pressed into Ryker’s as he holds me close.
“Are you okay?”
I pull back. “Yep. You?”
He nods.
Wherever we are is beautiful. The trees are thick and layered around us, and even though it’s night, the whole area is lit up. Between the fireflies and the flowers glowing a fluorescent blue, everything is easy to see. Nearby is a huge lake with sand surrounding it.
“This is… beautiful.”
“Would you like to swim? I promise it’s not as cold as it looks.”
“You just want to get me naked.”
