I froze at the sound of the other woman’s name on his lips. I’d forgotten in all the overwhelming lust that he was fae. He was one of them. God, I was so stupid. I was supposed to be escaping, getting back to my life, my friends and family. Not boinking the hottest guy I’d ever seen. I needed to start thinking with my head and not let my urges control my every move.

I stirred beneath him. As much as I enjoyed the feel of his weight on top of me, I had to get out of here.

Crap, how was I going to do that without arousing any suspicion on his part?

I didn’t know anything about the fae mating ritual, if that’s what this was. And I didn’t want to do anything to blow my cover. Fortunately, he hadn’t seen through my disguise yet.

I wiggled as much as I could to get out from underneath him. I had to slip away but quietly. He unknowingly helped me by rolling onto his side next to me. I took a deep breath and sat up. As I did so, a telltale gush of warmth trickled from between my thighs. My blood ran cold at the sensation.

He hadn’t used a condom.

I didn’t know what it meant. Could I get pregnant? Was it even possible for fae to impregnate humans? Oh, God. What was I going to do?

I pushed the panicked thoughts away. I couldn’t deal with this now. First things first, I had to get away. I looked blindly around the room, desperate to find my clothes. What had he done with them? My breath came faster and faster until I was panting with my panic. I was so seriously screwed.

“What’s the matter, mo mhuirnín?” Tiarnan reached up and rubbed my shoulder.

I jerked at the contact. “I…I, uh, nothing.” I shook her head. “Nothing, I just…” My mind raced as I struggled to find something to say. Something to explain my odd reaction.

“Hey, it’s all right. It’s a little bit much to take in the first time around.”

I sagged at his easy explanation. “Yeah, I just…”

“A little overwhelmed? It’s understandable. I remember my first Beltane. I thought I would pass out at the power, the lust in the air. That’s why I brought you up here. If you think this is overwhelming, the pit is ten times more so. Come here.” He reached out a hand to me.

Unable to find a coherent reason to refuse, I took his hand and let him pull me against him.

“It’s all right, mo mhuirnín,” he murmured against my temple.

I sat rigid in his arms for a moment. But eventually the lure of his husky voice whispering platitudes in my ear had me relaxing against him. I could escape later. Luck had been on my side so far. I couldn’t resist his warm, gentle embrace. Cuddling into his side, I listened to the reassuring thud of his heart.

I couldn’t remember the last time someone held me. Lord knew, my parents hadn’t.
