Faith lay in bed, wide awake and stared at the clouds that floated by in the night sky. She ran over everything she heard about selkies and tried to imagine Rowan as one of them.

Was such a thing possible? She dealt with facts, numbers, things she could see and follow the logic of. Not make believe, legends, and magic.

And yet...

Here she was, able to talk to him in her head. Even though it made no sense, there it was. Reaching for the pendant, Faith closed her hand around it. Her thumb traced over the Ogham letter on the back. Why her? What reason did Rowan have for picking her? He had his choice of any woman.

Because you are my life's breath, Faith. Stop doubting yourself and your worth.

Grinning in the dark, Faith lay on her side and continued to stare out the window. Don't you have anything better to do than eavesdrop on my private thoughts.

Her body responded, telling her it was ready for Rowan to make good on his word. Where are you?

Looking out over the sea. He was silent for a moment before he added in a more serious tone. Get some sleep, leannan, I'll see you in the morning.

Goodnight. Faith closed her eyes and burrowed into the down pillows. The cool breeze flowed over her and she sighed as she waited for the sandman to visit her.

The next morning Faith found Rowan waiting outside for her, sitting on the bench out in front of his aunt's cottage. Her heart beat erratically as her eyes skimmed over his casual attire. He had on a polo shirt and his biceps strained against the material. Nobody had the right to wear jeans the way he did. He looked poured into them and all it did was make her want to strip them off and have her way with him.

His dark chocolate eyes sparkled as he grinned at her. "I'm all yours, leannan, if that's what you want to do."

She flushed. "Stay out of my head, Kilgour."

He rose out of the seat and moved toward her. Flowing just like water, knowing nothing could stop it. She licked her lips but held her ground. Rowan stopped before her and tipped her face up for a kiss. He tasted like rich coffee.

Purring she arched against him. This truly was what fairytales were made of.

"Ready to go, Faith?" he asked stroking the side of her face with his knuckles.

"And where are you spiriting me off to today?"

"Thought you might like to hike around in Cuillin Hills."

Faith leaned into him, loving how he easily supported her.

"I just want to spend some time with you. I'm going home tomorrow." She could feel him tense at her words.

"Let's go," he said in a low tone.
