A flower faery in a pink gossamer toga winked at Dart as he walked by her. Sweet. He hadn’t seen her around before. Must be a new recruit. The Reverie Horticulture Club boasted a de cade of State Fair grand prize wins. Faery was constantly dispatching new flower faeries to keep that record strong.

Just as Dart was going to introduce himself, a concoction of purple paisley—mumbling about sex—bumped into him.

“Sex?”

“Oh, I’m—” Wide green eyes stared up at Dart. Just as quickly, the green orbs shifted to the side, then right back at him.

Entranced, utterly. They could never look without falling madly in lust. He was used to the look.

But when the lustful swoon slipped away and fists formed at her sides, Dart lost his charm-them-into-bed smile. “Sidney?”

“You have a problem with navigating, buddy? I can’t seem to get within a foot of you without a crash.” She thrust her nose a little too high. “Dust any tooth faeries lately?”

“Only the pretty ones.”

“Oh.” Her fierce expression dropped, as did her paisley shoulders. “I see.”

“I meant you, Sidney.”

She didn’t realize she was pretty? Maybe it was hard to see beyond all that crazy fabric, and the frizzy hair that migrated to her eyes as quickly as it was swiped away. Why didn’t she drop her glamour completely?

No matter. Dart was glad he’d run into her. “So you were talking about sex?”

She rubbed the back of her neck. “No, I actually said, um . . . pecs. Yeah, that’s it. Pecs.”

Uh-huh. Liar.

But still. Dart flexed a muscled arm. “You like?”

She rolled those gorgeous eyes. “I think it was Max, actually. That’s it; I was thinking about my friend Max.”

Really bad liar.

He detected the scent of sugar on her. Sugar and strawberries. Like a meadow of fresh sun-plumped fruit enticing him to dive in for the feast.

A finger snapped rudely before his face. “Do you always look at women like that? Like you’re going to eat them? It’s rather discomfiting, I’ll have you know.”

“Uh, sorry.” Dart swiped a palm over his face and let out a sigh. Yeah, this one was different. The usual tactics weren’t going to work, as they did with the flower faeries. Bye-bye, patented sex smile.

“Now you look lost,” she said. And then she giggled, and it tinkled like bluebells splashed with raindrops.

Feeling her laughter spread over him was like inhaling desire into his pores. Mm, she sounded scrumptious. And he wanted another taste.

“Oh!” She slapped a hand over her mouth. It was as if she’d caught herself doing something naughty.

“I like your laugh,” he said. “You should do it more often. But not around other faeries.”

“Why not?”

“Because I don’t want too much competition. I wonder if you wouldn’t mind a walk in the park?”

“Me?” She looked around, but no one stood even remotely close. “Uh, I don’t know.”

“Max waiting for you?”

“Who’s Max? Oh! Oh, him, no. I have another shift at the library. Then my night is full. Rounds, you know.”

“Too bad. The park is awesome this time of year.
