CHAPTER 14

A SEA SEDUCER’S PREY

CASSIDY TIED HER TRENCH COAT around her waist. The Tolymie's didn’t have any semblance of a cultivated yard. Instead, the ground was covered in a sea of moss and the trees’ gigantic roots snaked through the driveway. Passing a gazebo sheltering a covered hot tub, she followed a worn path in the moss behind the house. An owl hooted high above her, sending a chill down her spine. Cassidy jumped as a crack and flash of movement in the fading light caught her attention. Surrounded by a circle of tiny mushrooms, Aydan twirled a black whip. He threw a silvery card and hit it out of the air with the bullwhip. His movements were graceful and powerful in a short lace dress. Not wanting to interrupt his work, Cassidy quietly stepped over the shreds of cards, and continued up the path. Rona-Mom would like him, Cassidy thought.

The thick canopy of trees blocked her view of the sky overhead, but the grove turned out not to go very deep. She broke out of the woods, shadowing her eyes against the bright crepuscular rays that shone like a gateway to a glorious world above the clouds. Wishing she could look in all directions at once to admire the rosy skyscape, she lay on a log for a better view. Each cloud in the darkening indigo sky magnified the crimson light of the sun.

“Hey Cassi, what’re you up to?” Taban approached her from the same trail she had followed. The scarlet light emphasized his cinematic allure. He scratched a place under his mouth, drawing her attention to his full lips. She briefly fantasized about having her first kiss with the current sunset as the backdrop, but promptly shoved the image out of her mind.

“Just finding a place to watch the sunset.” Cassidy stood dusting herself off. “And my name’s Cassidy, not Cassi.”

“I was just using a nickname.” With an injured expression, he dropped his chin, and shoved his hands in his pockets. In doing so, he flexed his arms. “I do that to people I like, but I won’t if you don’t want it.”

“No. No. I’m sorry. Cassi is fine. I didn’t mean to make you feel bad.”

“Make it up to me by watching the sunset with me.” He plopped down on the log and patted a spot next to him. Obliging, she joined him and felt a rush when his hand coincidentally brushed the bare skin of her arm.

“I really should go check on Danny pretty soon. She wasn’t feeling well.”

“Don’t worry about her. She’s with Ea, right?”

“Yeah,” Cassidy agreed. “But I’m worried about her safety.”

“Listen to me.” Slipping his fingers into her belt loop, he tugged gently. “Ea wouldn’t do anything even if she threw herself at hir,” he said bitterly, as he rubbed his neck.

“That’s not what I meant.” She slid closer to Taban, allowing him to put his arm around her.

“Nice work today on the water.”

“Thanks, I—”

“I told the news that you did everything. You should take all the credit.
