CHAPTER EIGHT

The closet in my tiny cabin was—wait for it—tiny. Imagine that. Why would I care, you might ask? Because that was how one traveled to Faery.

Eyeballing the mop bucket, broom, and vacuum, which was all there was room for, I didn’t see how we’d both fit. “Can’t you go first, and I’ll just hop through after?” I gave him my flinty, suspicious glare. The same one I used on my little sister’s high school boyfriends.

Don laughed. “You think you look scary, but that just makes you look adorable.”

“Oh.” I dropped the flinty look. “That’s disappointing. Wait a second. I know it works. I cowed half a dozen teenage boys and two misbehaving work colleagues with this look.”

He shrugged. “I find it adorable.”

“Oh.” I didn’t really have a good response to that. That was really sweet. It was kinda like being told (genuinely) you looked like a million bucks rolling out of bed in the morning, when you knew you had puffy eyes, rat-tails in your hair, and sheet lines marking your cheek. I shook my head, “Okay, so how does this work?”

“I can’t open it and have you follow, because everyone opens their own door to Faery.”

“But I can’t open a door.” I raised my eyebrows. “Because I don’t know anything about how my magic works...which is why we’re going to Faery. Oh, Lord. This is the chicken-egg thing. I hate that question. It reeks of deep thought and philosophical pondering.”

Don rolled his lips together, very obviously trying not to grin.

I patted his shoulder. “It’s okay. You’re allowed to laugh at that one.”

He refrained. Instead...he kissed me.

Yep. Right there. In front of the mop bucket, the broom, and the vacuum. My guy was all sorts of romantic.

Wait...my guy?

But the press of his lips on mine, warm and soft but still firm—I know, I know, that makes no sense, just trust me—it was all kinds of wonderful.

And tingly.

He tipped his head, and I tipped mine, because closer was good. I felt the silky strands of his short hair beneath my fingers. At some point I’d wrapped my arms around him, though I didn’t remember making the decision. A necessity, since he was so dang tall.

I opened my mouth to ask if this really was a good idea. Absolutely that was what I’d planned. Most definitely. But then there were tongues, his, mine, tangled together, sliding...

There may have been groping.

As in, me groping him.

As in, him groping me.

There may have been climbing.

Me climbing him, naturally.

And so much lovely kissing.

I kissed his strong neck right where his pulse fluttered madly. I kissed his sharp jaw line, reveling in the abrasion of his stubble against my lips. I kissed his collarbone, because why not? Everything about Don was sexy, including and most definitely not limited to his collarbones.

And Don definitely kissed me.

In a lot of places.

Enough said.

He cleared his throat, and I leaned my head back to look into his eyes. “We’re here.”

“What-huh?” I blinked against the bright light. My brain was muzzy
