I want to hate Merlin and Lancelot for this. Wade, my best friend, the guy I…care for very much…nearly died. He still might. But then I see their anguish and I feel bad for them. Merlin has been working nonstop for the last few days, all to help Wade. And Lancelot has been helping Sabine, Flora, and the other Pixies to process herbs and powders for healing. It’s clear that they love Wade. But that doesn’t mean Merlin’s not hiding something—Flora has already confirmed that much.

GRATEFUL THAT GALAHAD HAD AGREED to let Daggerhorne look into his control issues, Aliana decided a change in topics was very much warranted. “Stand up,” she ordered.

He did and pulled her to her feet at the same time. Pressing herself flush against his body, she wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled his forehead down to rest on hers. His hands gripped her hips, holding her to him.

“Wrap your arms around my waist,” she murmured.

He did it without hesitation, letting his hands boldly travel across her body. “Now what?”

“Now you hold on.” She gazed into his eyes that were lit by the constant sparks that ran between them. Opening her magical senses, she felt the energy she’d come to realize was the essence of the Isle and the tree palace. But there was something new—a swirling pool of pure power. She knew right away it was the ruby in her gauntlet. Gently she pulled on all of it, gathering it around her own magic and gradually pushing it out around them.

“And what if I want to kiss you,” he whispered, leaning in to claim her lips.

She pulled back before his lips could catch hers. “I would say look down first.”

He looked around and then down. “We’re flying!” he gasped with an unbelieving choke of delight.

She smiled broadly, letting out her own joyous laugh. “Watching Puck gave me the idea.” Looking for herself, she saw that their feet were several yards above the mirror-like lake. The lights danced around them as they glided smoothly over the top of the water. From this view it truly looked like they were dancing in the very heavens, like they were the gods and goddesses of old moving across the universe as if it was only there for them.

Gazing at him, she saw the familiar blazing emotions that had once scared her with their intensity. Now they made her heart soar. Galahad’s mouth claimed hers in a kiss so deep and so fervent she felt like they were one. His luscious lips stole over hers again and again, his warm tongue delving into her mouth with an almost desperate need.

Everything faded from Aliana’s mind except the intense love and the flaring sparks. She didn’t feel them dropping until a second before water closed in around them. Opening her eyes, she glanced around the surprisingly well-lit water, smiling when she saw Galahad’s eyes on her. She lunged at him and took his lips as they drifted in the Isle’s water. When her lungs pulled tight, Galahad kicked his legs and shot them up, breaking the surface.
