Evening came upon us quicker than anticipated. When the steaks had fully defrosted, I set them on a cutting board and started seasoning them. I figured something hearty would be good for Macy. If this morning’s inhalation of her breakfast was any indication of her appetite, she would enjoy eating homemade mashed potatoes and grilled steaks.

Right on cue, Macy wandered into the kitchen wearing what Raven had brought earlier in the day. The jeans hugged her curves and the top accentuated her figure, forcing me to turn away to keep my body under control. Never in my days had a woman had such an erotic grip on me. Just seeing her wearing something snug and casual made me feel like I was about to burst into my true form and fly circles around the sun.

It’s just hormones, I told myself. But I wasn’t so sure. Earth’s realm has a strong effect on me. That could have been true without Macy’s influence, yet it didn’t seem reasonable either. She’s hot.

The last thought inspired me to set my knife aside. The steaks were prepped enough. I placed them on a plate and covered them with foil before going to the sink to wash my hands.

Macy observed the steaks. “Tenderloins, huh?”

“I thought you would enjoy them.”

“Why did you think that?”

I shrugged. “I got the impression you weren’t fed particularly well.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Exactly what it means, Macy,” I snapped as I shut off the kitchen faucet. “Why is it you constantly question my direct statements? They mean what they mean when I say them.”

Her eyes narrowed. “Somebody needs a nap.”

“I think you’ve taken enough naps for us both.”

“Are you judging me?”

I shook my head. “I’m surprised you fell asleep at all. You hardly slept last night.”

“You should know. You’re the one who slept right outside the door.”

I slammed the kitchen towel on the marble counter. “I was making sure that if we were followed, I could defend you.”

“And what about the window? Wouldn’t that have been more logical to guard?”

“I would have heard the window. I would have heard anyone approaching.”

She crossed her arms over her chest, a sign I was starting to interpret more as protecting herself than acting snotty. There was so much more to Macy than her feistiness. She guarded herself carefully—except when it came to sex.

“I don’t know if I believe you,” she said. “I think you just did it to make sure I didn’t run away.”

“Should I let you run away?”

She glowered. “Why would I run away?”

“You mention it often enough. You say you want to be left to your own devices. You wanted me to drop you off in the middle of the woods, Macy. Do you know there are beasts out there?”

She laughed bitterly. “Like I can’t handle beasts.” Her eyes dropped to the zipper of my jeans so quickly that I almost thought it was a hallucination. But the scarlet patches on her cheeks told me she had indeed glanced at my package. “I can handle anything.
