CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Tori led Jon by the hand to the living room, her feathery wings brushing his arm as they moved through the cramped hall. She swept him up to the display case, her fingers tracing the glass that housed his precious collection of Jellies of the Month.

"We're going to play a little game," she declared with a mischievous twinkle in her eye. "A tasting game. We'll take turns blindfolding each other, then sampling a jelly. Whoever can guess the most flavors correctly wins."

Jon's heart did a nervous little dance. "Wait, are you suggesting we open more of my jellies? I mean, one was fun, but…"

His voice trailed off as Tori sauntered to the window and pulled the fabric tie-back strips from the curtains with swift, confident motions. The drapes fell closed, hiding the room from the eyes of the world outside. She approached Jon, holding one of the strips laid across her palms.

"Trust me, Jon," she said softly. "I'm going to walk you out of your comfort zone. One baby step at a time."

The harpy's eyes searched his, seeming to understand him more than he understood himself. She was exotic and intoxicating, and her very presence sent a shiver of excitement through him. He yearned to impress this beautiful, playful creature who had swooped into his life like a feathery tempest. Despite the unease coiling in his belly, he trusted Tori. But his feelings for her were deeper than trust. They were warm tendrils winding tightly around his heart, drawing him ever closer to her, even as his sense of reason wanted to pull away.

"Okay," he conceded. "I'm game. Let's play."

"Nice." Tori pulled off Jon's glasses, then carefully wrapped the fabric around his eyes. "We are gonna have some fun." As she tied the strip, Jon became lost in a velvety darkness that heightened his other senses. The scent of Tori's skin, a wild blend of open skies and animalistic passion, filled his nostrils. Her breath was warm against his ear as she whispered, "No peeking."

Jon heard the pop of a jar opening, and the delicate clink of a spoon against glass. He imagined Tori's graceful fingers gripping the handle as she scooped out a dollop of jelly. He opened his mouth in anticipation, and something touched his tongue. Tartness burst across his tastebuds, a shockwave of citrus that set his senses alight, underscored by a subtle floral note. But it wasn't the flavor that startled him most—it was the realization that the thing in his mouth was not a spoon.

In an instant, Jon jerked back and pushed up the blindfold, his wide-eyed gaze met by Tori's playful grin. Her slender index finger lingered just inches from his lips, glistening with the remnants of the jelly.

"Agh! What are you doing?"

"Playing the tasting game." Tori withdrew her hand slowly, locking eyes with Jon as she licked the sticky film from her fingertip. "By the way, that was Lavender Lemonade Love."

"But… why didn't you use the spoon?"

"You don't use a spoon in the tasting game.
