Through the Man’s Eyes

Six Hours Earlier…

* * *

Aiden runs along the beach in his human form. His mind churning and restless as the sea. He wants to kill Wardon, craves tearing the bastard’s innards out with his teeth. The Seelie king’s blood would slide down the back of his throat, sweeter than any wine. And then he would lay the severed head at his queen’s feet and she would smile in that way she did that never fails to send sparks through his veins, ramping his body up to bed her.

He runs faster, away from the castle, needing to burn his need down before he sees her again. It seemed so easy, back when she told him she had no desire for sex. No desire for him. Though he missed the physical intimacy, he would rather have her, hale and healthy. Content with herself and with him.

But she isn’t content. Her need spices the air, pheromones charging him up until he feels like he will explode. And when he’d touched her earlier her pleasure had been so intense, her taut body so responsive, he thought he might go over with her.

Then afterword she’d been on the verge of panic. Damn Underhill and her wiles. He had no way of telling what had been honest desire and what was an overload of hormones. Nic treats her desires as if they are unnatural. And maybe for her, they are. She’d never experienced sexual pleasure before, he knows that much. And the two times she had let her guard down, there had been magical interference.

Maybe he should have stayed away from her, not awakened her body, not let her know with every breath that he wants her, craves her. Better he be denied that for Nic to believe herself to be flawed. That she is broken to crave release. He wants to help her, to ease her body as well as her mind. The way she does for him.

Usually.

What wouldn’t I give to truly know her? The more time he spends in her company, the less he understands. She’s so different than her previous incarnation. Nicneven of the Unseelie Court of Alba was cold, as though her heart had been coated with permafrost. And while Nic can be icy too, he senses a lurking fire beneath the layers of frost. A fire she shares with no one. An inferno he wants to throw himself into until it consumes him.

Earlier though she’d infuriated him. First with believing he would spurn her for another and then by considering the Seelie king’s outrageous offer. Doesn’t she see what the bastard was trying to do? Lay claim to the entirety of Underhill without lifting a finger. He knows from past experience that Wardon is dangerous and not to be trusted. Only a fool trusts a fey, court be damned. All his instincts scream for him to pluck her from the castle and run. A Seelie king who used trolls as hired thugs to keep his subjects in line is not an ally worth having, regardless of the magic he possesses.
