I scanned my living room for any evidence of another person living here. I kept no pictures of us visible in the main room. Kenna’s blue blanket was in the corner, but he wouldn’t know it belonged to a thirteen-year-old. Though her luggage was still on the couch from our ruined trip to the cabin, it was plain red. Nothing screamed ‘a teenager lives here.’

I snapped my gaze back to my intruder. “This is not smart.” The power of the full moon would be rising in me soon. He wouldn’t be able to say no. He wouldn’t want to say no. And with one touch from him, I wouldn’t be able to either. “You really need to leave.”

He leaned toward me and delicately sniffed near the top of my head. His light cologne smelled of soap and leather, all male. The darkness of the room where we had met hadn’t done him justice. He was deceptively unremarkable. It was as if magic hid his perfect features from first glance, but when you stopped to actually look at him…he was stunning. This man was the perfect predator hidden amongst the humans. His nostrils flared, and he closed his eyes.

He took a step back from me before lifting his eyelids. “It’s nothing I can’t handle right now. A few minutes won’t hurt.” He pivoted and stalked my living room in a slow glide, eyeing each piece of art hanging on my wall before moving on to every trinket sitting on the mantel. In the quiet surrounding us, his dark eyes flicked toward me. “This is your home?”

I crossed my arms. “It is.”

A black brow lifted. “You’re an Outsider?”

“I am.” I lifted my chin. “What of it?”

His gaze skimmed over my features before he shrugged. He continued his perusal into my personal life, touching everything with a soft brush of his fingers. His words were offhand. “You’re young to be an Outsider.”

I snorted. “You have no clue how old I am.”

His lips twitched and dark eyes found mine again. “The more powerful the Elf, the more obvious it is on another. It’s in your power signature.” He lifted a small stress ball from my bookshelf and flexed his fingers, fisting the small blue ball. “Didn’t anyone teach you that? Or is Julius slacking in his duties?”

“Julius taught me fine.” It was a small fib. I hadn’t been in contact with the Light ruler since I had left the Light realm. All I had learned was from my time before when I lived there and being self-taught afterward. A few Light Elves had offered after I had left, sent by Julius’s head of security, but I had turned them down. I had almost been showing my pregnancy at the time and didn’t want any Elf around to know the truth. I wiggled my nose at him and pointed at the stress ball he continued to repeatedly squeeze. “This is enough chatting. You’re going to blow soon.”

He rubbed his lips together, his eyes not missing anything.
