They weren’t wearing shirts, and I’m not blind.

Sebastian went shopping while I enjoyed my first venture to the spa, where I was treated like a queen. Nobody flinched, and I suspected the front desk had warned the staff about my scars. Whether to enhance the mood or whether the spa really wanted couples to indulge in each other after sessions, I had two scantily clad men attending to me, and they did my nails while chatting about life in general. Their voices could melt chocolate, and the cream they slathered all over my face before adding the cucumbers did an excellent job of hiding my blushes.

I learned they were both wolves, and they’d been mated since before I was born, leaving me to marvel at the nature of the lycanthropy virus. In a matter of two hours, they did a hell of a lot to convince me not all wolves were idiots, and my hands and feet would never feel the same again. As planned, I went for a sexy red for the nail polish, and they even used practitioner magic to ensure the polish would stay pristine for two weeks.

To my delight, the treatment came with a little gift bag, and I fought my desire to bounce out of the spa. As promised, Sebastian waited for me in the spa’s lobby. I held up my bag. “I got a present.”

The lion chuckled, rose to his feet, and picked up a much larger gift bag from the spa. “And I got you a present while waiting. Upon exploration of our room, I decided we need to soak in the tub while we eat dinner, which will be delivered to our room in about thirty minutes. My shopping is finished, and I’m ready to spend the rest of the week enjoying your company.”

“I was attended to by two handsome wolves, and I bet they could melt chocolate on their chests with the power of their voices alone. Does dinner come with a dessert of lion? I need a dessert of lion.” I showed him my nails. “And this will last two weeks. Practitioner magic. My nails will be beautiful no matter what I do for the next two weeks.”

While he raised a brow, Sebastian chuckled. “I find you to be beautiful with or without your nails being painted, but your nails look as lovely as you do.”

“Blind lion,” I muttered. “Apparently, they have a formula for scar tissue, and it makes it softer for a while. The wolves are also ancient. I think they’ve been attending to the special needs of spa-visiting women for longer than I’ve been alive. They changed my entire beliefs about wolves in one session. If all wolves were like them, I’d want wolves visiting me daily.”

“That conversion didn’t take long.”

“They weren’t wearing shirts, and I’m not blind. And they’re really, really fit. Not quite as muscular as you are, but they were not slackers.” I shifted my weight from foot to foot. “What’s in the bag?”

“You will find out as soon as we go back to our room.
