Chapter Five

Erintara

MEGHAN

When I woke the second time, I found myself lying beneath the warm sheets of the upstairs bedroom Cade and I shared. The sun filtered in through the windows, the angle of light indicating it was late morning. Remembering what the Dagda had said about leaving for Erintara just after noon, I shot up in a panic, wondering just how late it was.

I was just about to bolt out of bed and start throwing on clothes when Cade stepped from the bathroom, fully dressed with his hair still damp. He cast me a curious look, and I asked, “What time is it?”

He smiled. “Around eleven. I thought I’d let you sleep for a while longer before waking you.”

Cade crossed the room and came to rest on the edge of the bed, leaning in to give me a kiss. He smelled of the lavender and sage soap the Dagda’s housekeepers kept in stock, and his damp hair left water stains on my night shirt. Wait a second … If I had fallen asleep in the chair with my day clothes, what was I wearing now? I edged away from him at the same moment he tried to move in closer to me. I pulled the fabric of the shirt away from my body and then shot Cade a mildly perturbed look.

“What happened to my clothes?”

He gave me a devilish grin and tried to kiss me again. I resisted, just barely, by pressing my hand against his chest.

“What?” he asked, his tone all innocence. “You don’t trust me to get you into the proper attire for bed?”

What he considered ‘proper attire’ was one of his old shirts, the material so worn and threadbare it might as well be translucent.

“Why bother at all, then?” I countered, crossing my arms and arching an eyebrow at him. There. Come up with a gentlemanly response to that.

Cade sighed and drew back, realizing I wasn’t going to give in to his charms until he answered my questions.

“Because,” he said carefully, “we are not at home in Luathara, and more importantly,” he grinned again, an emerald spark returning to his eyes. He leaned in close and grazed his teeth along the edge of my earlobe.

I hissed in a breath and felt my nerves sizzle.

“Because,” he whispered softly, his voice going deep, “I love the way you look in my shirt.”

He moved then, too quick and agile for me to evade him, and ran his fingers through my hair as he pressed me into the mattress. I should have protested. The Dagda wanted us all on the road in an hour, and I still had to shower and pack, but I gave in to Cade’s deep kisses and murmured Faelorehn words.

“Mohr faelorah, mohr faeleahn,” he crooned, as his lips moved down my neck.

The unfamiliar word yanked me away from his overwhelming attention, and I came down from that cloud I’d been floating on.

“Faeleahn?” I managed, moving into a sitting position and out of his embrace.

Cade, who had apparently been more invested in the direction our actions were headed than I was, struggled to join me.
