More.

“I hate to break it to you, but I’m pretty attached to you in these leather pants.” My laugh turns into a snort.

Matthew was the perfect Damien all evening. The shirt beneath his suede vest is loose around his collar. His chest hair peeks out, tempting me to grab it. And don’t even get me started on the trousers.

Can someone become addicted to muscular thighs?

“Oh yeah? Is the whole battered warrior look getting you going?” He cocks a brow at me, his hand falling to my nape.

So much more, please.

“Definitely.” I rise onto my toes and bring my lips to his. It’s electric. Perfect. The way it always is.

I shuck open the knots that hold his vest together while Matthew undoes the string around my neck. My cape drops to the floor.

I want to kiss him, his neck, his chest, down the trail of hair leading to his…

An idea pops into my head, likely all too scandalous and ridiculous. But when else will a gorgeous man be dressed up as one of my favorite book boyfriends?

“I want to do something for you,” I whisper against his lips. No chickening out now. “Meet me upstairs in ten minutes?”

He tilts his head. “What do you have planned?”

“As they said at the Battle of Loria:tonight, we ride,” I announce in a voice that mimics a war cry and run upstairs. His deep chuckle rumbles through the foyer.

Please let me keep this spell of confidence through the night.

In a blink, I’m in my room, and my costume is on the floor. My emerald La Perla slip is heavenly soft. I zip the leather warrior’s corset around my waist, cinching the lingerie. My heart drums against my chest.

Am I doing this? No. Yes!

A gorgeous man in leather pants is waiting for me downstairs, carrying a sword. I’m doing this.

My reflection stares back at me, except it’s not just me. It’s Molly Greene: elven princess. I’m on top of the world.

Maybe all of this chameleoning for other people could’ve been put to better use—cosplaying.

A knock comes from the door.

“Come in,” I call out. My nerves thump beneath my skin.

“Molly?” Matthew enters. His jaw clenches, straining his neck. “A-are you…real?”

I haven’t been good at knowing when a man wants me. Except right now, I’m certain of it. Matthew is speechless because of me.

“If you want me to be.” I stroll over to him with power and control.

“Fuck.” His voice strains, and his spine goes rigid. “I must’ve died out there, because this can’t actually be happening.” He lets out a gruff laugh.

My insides tense as I lower to my knees.

“Well,myMatthew told me he’s always had a thing for elves.” I smile, locking my eyes on his.“I have to be honest, I’ve never done this before.” The nerves coursing through me aren’t enough to stop me. I’m really looking forward to making him feel good.

“I promise you can’t do anything wrong.”

“Does this feel nice?” I run my hand over him.

He attempts to speak.“I—so good, baby.”
