The light, floral ruffles of Fraya’s short gown swished below her swaying hips. Blonde hair tumbled down her back, nearly reaching her bottom. Sky above, she was the most beautiful female to grace all the realms.

I had to force myself not to chase Fraya down as she walked away. It would be too easy to pull her to the ground and take her on all fours over the grass.

My cock twitched.

“We’re not animals,” I reminded myself and the insurgency taking place in my pants. “A prince of Faerie doesn’t treat a female that way.”

Mostly, I didn’t want to risk being caught. We’d been down this road before. All it would take was one guest or footman to round the corner and ruin everything. I meant what I’d said. I could hardly maintain control of myself with Fraya’s arousal still damp upon my fingers and lingering inside my nostrils. I hadn’t waited this long for a quick tumble on the lawn. No. I meant to claim. Consume. Take my bloody time until our bodies were satiated and muscles limp from mating. If there was a portal nearby, I’d transport her to my room in Hailshadow, where her pleasured screams could echo along the empty hallways.

I made myself wait. Gave her time to clear the lawn and make her way inside. I drummed my fingers against my thigh and started slowly along the brick wall.

The arrows had been removed from the targets, and footmen carried away the stands. A few elves lingered in small groups, conversing on the front lawn. When I saw my sister among them, I winced. She stood with Blythe and two male elves I didn’t recognize. I hesitated between sneaking past or going over to remind the males that Reyna had a brother who would be watching to see that they behaved themselves in her presence.

Before I could decide, Reyna noticed me. She said something to her friend, then rushed over to where I stood between the stone stairs and lawn. She held her long skirts up slightly as she bounded over. My sister had been smiling in the group. With her back turned to them, she frowned at me. She’d been doing that a lot since we arrived. I didn’t like how it reminded me of Oreal’s critical attention. I knew Reyna’s censure stemmed from worry, but I wished she’d trust me.

Reaching me, she placed her hands on her hips—a stance I’d rarely seen my sister take. She wore her dark hair pulled back in a low bun, soft, loose wisps framing her porcelain oval face. “You bedded her, didn’t you?”

“Not yet.”

My sister scowled. “But you intend to.” When I didn’t refute her, she crossed her arms. “King Liri already wants you dead. Do you want Fraya’s fiancé to join the Fae hunt?”

“She doesn’t love him,” I growled.

My answer only deepened the worry lines in Reyna’s forehead. She shook her head. “You’re always trying to look out for me. Now it’s time for me to look out for you.
