Chapter Eight

Soft lips and cool hair were trailing over her face. She squirmed and reached up to press her lips more firmly to the ones over hers.

“Steel, brush your teeth.”

She groaned and opened lids that were weighted with sleep. Wyanic was inches above her, grinning like a madman. “Good morning, now get up, brush your teeth and have a shower. We have much to negotiate.”

He helped her sit up and gave the tank a kiss.

She glared at him through the tumble of hair that had come undone from her customary braid. “Your morning greeting leaves something to be desired.”

“I know, but it seemed the best way to cool us both down, now go and take a shower. I will be here when you get back.”

Grimacing, she flipped the bedding back and reached under the bed for her bag. A set of clean clothing in her hands, she walked to the clinic’s main bathroom and showers. She unravelled the rest of her braid, stepping under the shower to get her thoughts together. No matter how she tried to work out what might happen today, nothing came together in her mind. Wyanic was an unknown element in her world and she needed to find out what he had planned as quickly as she could.

Her hair squeaked from the soap she was using and Steel made a mental note to see how the development team was doing on conditioners and body creams. If the winter on this world was dry, her skin was going to flake.

When she had dried her skin and put on fresh leathers, it was time to face her demons. The demon in question was lounging in her unmade bed and reading to their daughter. Cinderella.

His low tone rumbled across her skin and she leaned in the doorway, just listening. When the princess danced with the handsome prince and ran away at midnight, she smiled, meeting Wyanic’s gaze as he closed the book.

“These are wonderful. They are all handwritten.”

“It was a personal project. We needed to work on writing materials, so I learned to cook and drain wood pulp to make the paper. The ink will probably fade with time. It’s the by-product of certain crushed flowers. You let the juice oxidize and it darkens to a deep purple.” She swallowed as he put the book away and stood in front of her.

“Your hair is wet.” He took a hank of her waist-length hair and lifted it to his face, rubbing his cheek against it. His chain tattoo almost throbbed on his arm, his eyes glowed a hot bronze and she was suddenly a lot less sure of her ability to figure him out.

Steel swallowed heavily. “Side effect of taking a shower. It will dry fast enough as we walk around.”

“I have not had breakfast yet. I was hoping we could eat together.” He released her hair slowly and she edged around him to straighten her bedding.

“That sounds nice. You behave for Neeva, Junior.” She stroked the cylinder with her fingers and quickly tugged on her boots.
