Chapter 8

“Don’t puke on my boots.” Demetrius wasn’t smiling, but she could still hear the amusement in his tone and wanted to smack him for it.

“I’m not going to puke.” Abby leaned against the trunk of the tree, waiting for the world to right itself. In the Ways, she couldn’t tell up from down or that there was solid ground under her feet. Demetrius hadn’t been bothered by the Ways at all. Of course, he had been traveling them all his life, but she still wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of seeing just how badly her mind had been tossed around on their short stroll.

By the sounds your stomach is making, I think you’re going to puke, Tawa said.

“I’m. Not. Going. To. Puke.” To prove her point, Abby straightened up and pushed away from the tree. She swayed a bit, but held herself up. Walking, well, that was going to be another story.

“It’s a wonder you’re still conscious and sane. The Ways have driven humans to worse things than puking in the grass.” Demetrius smirked a bit this time.

Abby opened her mouth to yell at him for not telling her that information before taking her into the Ways, but she snapped her mouth shut. She never asked and they needed to get to Wisconsin fast. She had too many other things on her mind when they left her loft. Like how his body had felt pressed to hers and how he so easily set her heart pounding.

“Okay. We find a road and a cab. Burrows is doing a signing at a local bookstore this morning.” Abby dared to take a step and didn’t fall over. One foot in front of the other. Step, limp, step. Don’t think about Demetrius. Children’s lives were in danger. She adjusted her backpack over her shoulders. Tawa was near weightless, but the book seemed to weigh fifty pounds. “I’ll talk to her and see what I can find out.”

“We’ll talk to her.” Demetrius corrected her.

I have a few questions of my own I want you to ask, Tawa added.

“You’ll wait outside. You’ll likely scare her.” Abby shook her head.

“Or she’ll be so charmed by my good looks that she’ll tell me anything I want to know.” He flashed her a grin.

Abby rolled her eyes and then sighed. The fae had a good point. She had read Burrows’ bio on her website. Burrows wasn’t married. A handsome man might be more welcomed than just another fan. A flash of possessiveness went through her at the thought of letting Demetrius do such a thing. This helped to make up her mind. “Fine. All right. You’re Plan B. But only if I don’t learn anything from her.”

That pacified Demetrius, and the taxi ride to the bookstore kept him quiet. When they got out of the cab and she paid the driver, she was going to make a smart remark about Demetrius puking on her boots. Seeing his pale face, though, she held her tongue. Instead, she remained silent as he took a moment to compose himself.
