ARDEN

With a smile, I reach out to drag Theron closer and find nothing but cool sheets and air. I sigh in disappointment. No doubt he’s been up for hours checking off his to-do list. Rolling over, I stretch and feel a twinge, and it makes me smile.

Yesterday felt like a moment out of time. After spending hours in the hot springs, Theron and I rode horses and toured his land. Filled with snow and ice, I expected it to be harsh and unwelcoming, but the wintery landscape made everything feel crisp and new, untouched by the outside world. To me, it was magical. Theron insisted it was dangerous, filled with beautifully toxic plants and shaggy beasts hungry for anything that moves.

When the cold finally permeated through the hundreds of layers of clothing I was wearing, he took me to a pub in the nearby village. After a bowl of stew and homemade bread, I watched while he spoke and laughed with the villagers. It was enlightening to see how comfortable he felt in the humble surroundings and how his people looked at him. It’s different here. The staff at The Abbey respect him, but the people of Winter care deeply for him.

When we returned to his room, I made us a nest by the fire and explored every inch of him. My tongue and lips the instruments of torture and pleasure, I tasted and sucked until he surrendered, then I sank down on him and stared into his eyes, wordlessly telling him how I felt, while I drove us both over the edge.

The door opening startles me. I watch him stride quickly over to the desk in the corner and grab a black ledger from the drawer. When he turns, he notices me watching, and with a slightly raised eyebrow, he walks over and tips my chin up for a kiss.

“We have a few things to do before we leave this afternoon,” he informs me. “I left clothes for you on the table. I’ll be back to pick you up in a half hour.”

Seconds later, the door closes behind him, and I laugh. Our vacation is over. I slide out of bed and go over to the table to see what he left for me.

Lying on the table is a wrap dress in purple, its color similar to his eyes, with a matching set of delicate silk undergarments. A pair of knee-high black leather boots and a full-length black wool coat completes the ensemble. Interesting.

When he comes by, I’m surprised to see him in a charcoal suit with a tie matching my outfit. “Are we going somewhere special?”

He pulls me over to the fire and sets a large velvet box on the table. Flipping open the lid, he extracts a small silver cuff and holds out his hand.

Laying mine lightly in his, I tilt my head, waiting for him to tell me what’s going on.

“This cuff gives its wearer the power to open a portal to Winter, regardless of location or magic.
