“Do I smell bad?” I laugh, swirling my drink in my hand.
So it had been my looks and scent that were the least attractive thing about me to her? Claiming marks usually enhanced the attributes or traits you carried that didn’t compare to the other things they liked about you. I figured she would wake up with some new sense that I was ridiculously smart or that suddenly my jokes were very funny. Maybe she already thought I was smart, and my jokes were funny. I already thought so. It was just surprising.
“No, you smell wonderful.”
“Did you think I smelled before?” I set my glass on the table next to me and leaned forward.
“I never thought you smelled bad. It’s like pine and snow.” She chewed her lip. “And burning falling stars.”
“That’s not real. Snow and stars don’t have a real smell.” I smirked.
“Maybe to you, but I’m a Nymph. I’m more in tune with nature.” My eyes shot to where her fingers played with the corner of the sheet. Mentally, I was already peeling the sheets away. The thought made blood rush straight to my cock. I tried to ignore the rampant desire. We needed to leave soon to meet with the Acture Court.
Moving from the chair, I crossed the room. Ryker’s cheek was like silk against my fingertips as I traced her blush. This was more real than my dreams had ever been, but I kept finding myself nervous that I’d wake up and she would slip from my grasp, fade away from me forever.
“We have to go soon,” I said, wishing it wasn’t true. This night, in this room, was a dream come true, and I wasn’t ready for it to end.
“Oh, the mother!” Ryker gasped, standing up so quickly, I had to dodge the top of her head to keep from getting hit in the chin. “Yes, the Acture Court. We need to go.”
“You need to dress first.” I pointed down to her. Through the sheet, I could feel the bare skin of her breasts. Which only meant she could probably feel my ungodly boner.
“The dress from yesterday? Should we change into something else a little less formal?” She reached for the dress, realizing she’d have to let go of the sheet unless she wanted to drag it with her across the floor.
“We only wore them for a few hours; I’d hardly call them dirty. We might as well get some use out of them, right? Plus, they don’t know that we wore these outfits yesterday. I won’t tell if you won’t.”
Ryker’s gaze narrowed. “I’ll do it, but only because I’m impatient to get there and make sure everyone is okay. I want to see my sister.” She slowly peeled the sheet off of her body and stood, strolling with a generous sway of her hips as she walked to her dress.
“You better cover up before I take you over the arm of the couch,” I hissed through clenched teeth. My erection was throbbing now. I should have looked away. Claiming marks didn’t leave me without my own urges to deal with, like the fact that all she had to do was bat her eyelashes at me and my dick would sprout up like weeds in a garden. Seeing her naked right now...damn.
“I wouldn’t be opposed to that if we had the time for it. Perhaps another day.” She shrugged, pulling the dress over her body, and spun around, offering me the zipper.
Her skin was riddled with scars. The marks felt like calluses under my lips as I kissed a few before pulling the zipper closed over them. Then, for good measure, I brushed along the claiming marks just to watch her shiver with pleasure. Those would be sensitive for a while, they were pretty deep.
Ryker smoothed down her hair and sighed before strolling back to the bed to find her ponytail holder and secure her hair back. She bent down to her shoes, sloppily tossed at the bed’s edge, and slipped her feet into them. Clasping them around her ankles, she began, “I’m ready. Let’s go.”
“If you could just…” I held up a finger, looking away from her.Sad things Dace. There are so many sad things you could think about right now.“I just need a minute before I appear at King Windre’s castle waving my member around proudly like our court’s banner.”
“Mother!” She covered her mouth to laugh. “I hadn’t noticed I had affected you in such a way.”
“Could you…not talk for a minute?”
Your parents are dead. Everything is your fault. There is a Fae-eating witch in the other room that could destroy the whole kingdom. Picture Maglehmore’s face. There…that will do it.
I cracked an eye as I felt the eagerness of my dick start to subside.
Ryker snickered behind her hands. “Oh? Are you good?” she laughed. “I like that I have this weird power over you.”
“Don’t say that unless you want me to have you dripping down your legs while we are there. I could do it,” I threaten with a smile. “That would not be so appropriate in front of your sister, huh?”
“I’ll behave,” she offered but I had little hope that she would. This was too new and too fun to stop fiddling with. We both knew it. “I still can’t believe that you were able to travel with me.”
“Well, get ready, because I’m going to manipulate our travel again.” I reached for her hand.
“Actually, maybe it would be better if we took a horse again. I’m not sure you’re properly motivated right now.”
I laughed, holding her hand tightly in mine. Actually, since the claiming marks were made, I could feel our connection. She felt more like she was a part of me than anything else and I knew this was going to be easier than ever before, but I wasn’t going to tell her that immediately...I could have my fun first.
“I’m not worried about it.” I dared a smile, then felt my magic spreading across my skin and inching over to hers. It stretched and covered her.
