Chapter 50

The following week passed in a blur with November making way for the long nights and frost-tipped mornings of December.

Last year, December had been marked by loneliness for Faye. Her first Yule alone, the weather cold, and not even her beloved plants awake as they slumbered until spring. All she could do was read, engrossing herself in the stories of others to keep her company.

She hadn’t read a thing since Raef told her there was no time limit on freeing him.

Her days were filled instead with hot touches and wandering lips at the drop of a hat. Whether it was being woken up to his face between her legs, a heated quickie against a tree during one of their walks, or the drawn-out hours of foreplay in front of the fire, Faye’s days were filled. Along with a few other places too.

She knew the problems that brought them together still existed. But for now, those problems were locked outside in the cold while they continued to indulge in each other in her cottage.

It didn’t prevent her curiosity though, and in the moments they weren’t fucking like rabbits, they talked.

Or, she talked, and he listened. Adding his two cents every so often or if she prompted him for his opinion.

He never seemed to mind, his fingers running up and down her bare spine lazily as she chatted about anything and everything that crossed her mind. When she caught herself rambling, apologizing to him out of habit, he just hummed with a sleepy smile and told her to continue.

It never failed to send her heart into a flutter.

This was one such time.

A blanket tossed haphazardly over her lower body to keep her somewhat warm, she propped herself up on her elbows with her glass of water to rehydrate and her notebook of personally adapted poultices she needed to start making if she wanted to be ready for spring.

They’d spent the afternoon at the stream where Raef told her he’d killed several acolytes and voiced his concern about the contamination. Faye had been distressed, immediately looking for solutions while he declared her more than capable of cleaning the water with magic.

She thought he was overestimating her powers, especially after discovering her Forsaken status.

Spellcasting was the most complex form of magical practice. Unlike the potions and poultices she commonly used her magic for, spellcasting relied almost entirely on a witch’s connection to the magical pulse of the earth.

He’d been silent for a time, Faye squirming with awkwardness until he finally suggested she use him as an anchor if she needed it. It was a tremendous offer; one she was sure she misheard. For a Daemon to expose the soft underbelly of his existence so she could use him as a conduit for her power was unheard of.

Still, she jumped at the chance, and with her hand on his arm, miraculously purged the stream and connecting lake of tainted magic. It was exhilarating and new and left them both horny as his mouth worked on her neck while she cast.
