BRING THE NIGHT ON

Fresh snow cracks under my boots on my way up to the springs. In front of me, only one set of footprints mar the pristine trail. Cole is alone up there.

The three waterfalls that stream down the mountains of the Academy never freeze. A clover-shaped pool has formed underneath them over time. Winter claimed all but the three round holes where the water is most agitated.

The restless current in my soul refuses to ice, too. I need the suspense to end. Promise or no promise, the tension between Cole and me must reach its peak so it can be buried forever.

Tonight is the night I cut all ties with Cole Desirys, and for that to happen, I need him to take my virginity. It’s not a big deal, I tell myself, but my knees wobble when he comes into view.

With the terrible, effortless grace of a sea monster, and the might of Poseidon himself, Cole swims up and down the length of the pool. His body glides against the silvery surface, and the water absorbs the waning light of dusk.

The confident movements stop abruptly. He stands at my approach, his dark eyes warding me off his sanctuary.

The water comes up almost to his waist, right below his sculpted abs. The insulation spell somehow makes his fair skin even whiter. Black ringlets stick to his head, the shape of his shoulders highlighted by the onset of night.

My pulse hammers in my throat.

Fae see better in the dark.

Inked Fae alphabet runs across his chest, and my cheeks heat up. I follow the trickle of water down the sinews of his defined pecs and embrace my body’s reaction to his beauty. If I must do this, I’ll make sure to enjoy the view. No need to resist. In fact, I am here to seduce him.

He roves over me from head to toe. “Why are you here? This is my me time.”

Without a word, I unfasten my scarf and jacket. The cold bites into my flesh, but quickly my skin tingles with red and orange streaks. Fire magic warms me better than a spell ever could, and there are no efforts involved tonight. The last button of my blouse gives a little fight, but I shrug the fabric off and toss it over my discarded jacket.

Cole follows the swirling patterns underneath my skin, my fiery hues reflected in his amber stare. With only the white lace of my bra to protect me from his gaze, I feast on the hunger written across his features. The serious bob of his Adam’s apple thrills me.

I feed on his lust, on the power I have over him.

I don’t care if it makes me wicked, too.

This is me taking back control. This will happen on my terms.

The skirt’s zipper whines on its way down. I step out of the fabric and out of my knee-high socks and lay them over the rest.

“I won’t fuck you tonight.” The dry chuckle is meant as a derisive admonishment, but it croaks out of his throat instead.
