I led her to the house that Molev had pointed out earlier and knocked on the door.

A disheveled fey with a major hard-on answered.

“Um, did we come at a bad time?” I asked.

“No. Roni is inside.” He strode out the door without a backward glance.

“Brog?” Roni called. “Don’t you dare leave!”

“Hey, Roni. He’s already gone,” I said, stepping inside.

“Dammit.” The word was filled with enough frustration that Katie hesitated on the step.

“It’s Roni or Ben,” I said. “Pick your poison.”

She sighed and reluctantly entered.

The house was big with a very cozy sectional couch in the center of the living room. Beyond that, I spotted Roni in a crop top that barely brushed the bottom of her boobs and a thong, clearly showing off her recent grooming efforts. She was holding a casserole dish in her oven-mitted hands.

“Your timing is shit,” she said angrily, plopping the dish on top of the stove. “I almost had him that time.”

CHAPTEREIGHTEEN

“Problems in paradise?”I asked, intrigued.

“Uh, do you want us to go?” Katie asked from behind me.

“No, I want your help. He’s not giving up the goods. It’s been twenty-four hours, and he’s run out of this house at least six times rather than just having sex with me.” I heard a hint of hurt at the end just before she crossed her arms and glared at the door. “I don’t quit, and he’s an idiot if he thinks I will.”

“How about you put some pants on, and we’ll trade notes,” Katie said. “Ben won’t leave me alone.”

Roni looked even angrier. “I know. Half the fey here heard about the ‘sex with a human study,’ and every single one of them is begging to pop a nut with any willing female in the name of science. Except Brog. I’m here. I’m willing—damn, am I willing—and nothing.”

“Pants?” Katie asked again.

Roni gave her a death glare.

“Just go cover up so you two can compare notes,” I said. “Shaking what your mama gave you while taking that out of the oven obviously wasn’t working anyway.”

She snorted. “Says you. I’m positive I felt a finger brush a cheek. And I’m not talking about the ones I use to smile.”

“Please,” Katie begged. “No more.”

Roni sighed and stalked off to the bedroom.

“Don’t be too hard on her,” I said. “She’s figured out how to keep a fey at bay.”

“You’re right. Enduring the unsolicited view of her crotch crater in exchange for some peace is worth it.”

“I heard that!” Roni yelled from the bedroom.

Katie grinned at me.

I shook my head and started checking kitchen drawers for a fork. Whatever Roni had made smelled amazing. She reappeared just as I stabbed into the cheesy top.

“Might as well help yourself,” she said. “I doubt I’ll see him again until you two leave.”

I sat back and ate as Katie and Roni shared their stories.
