Chapter Ten

“Good morning.” Zeph brushes a soft, cool kiss against my forehead as my eyes flutter open.

“I fell asleep.”

At first I’m not sure what’s real. I’ve heard about dreams but I’ve never had one before. In the darkness, with my eyes closed, there’s Zeph, his hands and mouth and tongue, his presence filling every part of me. It’s all sweetness and heat and I’m lost in it.

And when I open my eyes, it’s the same.

He’s there, holding me in his arms, looking down at me like he’s just discovered the best surprise. We’re in his bed and I remember the night before. The memory comes in like the slow dawning of the day, spreading through me with a warmth and thrill I never knew possible.

“What time is it?” I ask, my chest suddenly filling with a cold dread.

Please don’t let it be time to go yet.

“Morning.” He kisses my cheek, his lips trailing over my jaw. “Six or seven, I’d say. I’ve been waiting hours to do this…”

“Oh I hate sleep!” I sigh, putting my arms around his neck, tilting my head back for him. “It steals so much time.”

“You’re beautiful when you’re sleeping.” He lifts his face to gaze at mine, so much emotion in his eyes it almost hurts to look. “And you’re beautiful when you’re awake.”

“It’s Christmas,” I say, remembering with a smile. The thought thrills me. “Merry Christmas.”

For the first time since I became human, I wonder what Alex is doing. Probably lazing on a beach somewhere in Australia. Fairies can’t really feel the temperature change extremes, but we do love the brightness of the sun. The brighter the better.

“I’m supposed to go to Maya’s tonight for dinner, but I’ll call her and cancel so we can spend the whole day together.” Zeph’s mouth has reached my collarbone and he makes circles with his tongue in the hollow of my throat.

“Dinner?” My stomach rumbles and I sit up on my elbows.

“You have a voracious appetite.” He chuckles, tracing an invisible line down toward my navel with his tongue.

“For everything.” I nod, moaning softly when he takes a detour to my left breast, sucking a pink-tipped nipple into his mouth. “Is that bad?”

“No.” He pauses to look up at me, lips parted, eyes dancing.

“Wait…” I fully sit now, frowning down at him. His head rests in my lap, where the sheet is pooled, and he looks up at me. “Who is Maya to you?”

That feeling I’d experienced the night before when his friend, Char, called, burns through my chest. I don’t understand it. It came up when I thought Char was some woman calling my Zeph in the middle of the night. Now, remembering his fondness for Maya, that feeling is back.

“Maya?” He blinks, surprised. “She’s… she’s just… someone I care about.”

“Care about how?” My eyes narrow and I feel that unfamiliar emotion rising, raging its way like wildfire through my middle. It makes my throat constrict. “As a friend? Just a friend?”

“Yes, jealous girl,” Zeph says, smiling fully now, reaching up to touch my cheek.
