He paled. "Oh, gods."
She gave him an evil grin. "I can't wait to see this fae city. Will I get to meet the queen?"
"Of course, she is my mother."
"Wait, so she's a queen and your mom. Does that make you a prince?"
He gave her a roguish smile. "Does that make me more appealing?"
"I, no shit, get a prince. Like a fairytale prince!" she jumped to her feet and thrust her fist to the sky. "Take that Emily Jenkins you empty-headed rerun! Who's voted 'Most Likely to Die Alone' and 'Most Likely to Amount to Nothing' now!"
Oron stood and swung her around laughing. "You tell them, Izzy!" He set her on her feet. "Is there a class reunion we need to go to?"
Izzy knew right then and there she was falling hard and fast. "You'd do that for me?"
He spread his hands. "You're willing to electrocute people for me, it's the least I could do."
"You're kinda wonderful."
"As long as I'm wonderful to you, that's all that matters."
"There's someone I want to meet more than your queen mom."
He frowned. "Who could that possibly be?"
"I want to meet the baby you saved. The little boy who became your brother."
Oron's eyebrows shot up. "But you have."
"Huh? When?"
Oron jerked his thumb toward the path that they had followed. "Back at the house. You remember the other blond guy who was teasing me and I flipped him off?"
"No! Seriously?" Izzy had a burning desire to get to know Darian better and hear from him how Oron was growing up.
Oron groaned. "You can't believe anything he says."
"Uh, huh." She turned toward the house.
"No, really Izzy. He lies. He is a horrible liar."
She began marching up the path.
"And he exaggerates, even about the smallest of things."
"Right."
"Izzy...baby. Come on, let's go torture your old classmates instead," he suggested.
"Later. Right now, I want to get to know my sort of mate's brother."
Oron stayed at her side. "I felt like we were bonding, let's just stay here." He halted dead in his tracks. "What do you mean 'sort of' mate?"
She stopped and looked back at him. "We haven't even kissed yet. I don't think we can be called mates if we haven't even kissed."
Wrong. Thing. To. Say.
She watched his eyes darken before he closed the distance between them in a single step. "I can remedy that." He leaned down and captured her lips.
