Chapter Fifteen

“You enjoyed that way too much.” Fen’s breathing had slowed enough for him to finally talk. He reached up to brush some leaves from his damp hair and then some debris from his sweat soaked t-shirt. The dive and roll he’d performed moments ago, forcing his hairy, ardent admirer to stumble through the Portal, had been text book perfect.

Brodie tried to stop grinning but couldn’t. “I especially liked that sound you made when she almost caught you.”

“That is what’s known as a manly yell of acknowledgment that an eight-foot hairball is in imminent danger of making me her fun-time toy.”

“Fun-time toy?” Brodie laughed loudly.

Damn, the woman should do that more often, throw her head back with abandon and laugh joyously. Her eyes sparkling with amusement, the shattered snowflake spikes shimmering. “You doubt I’d make a good fun-time toy?”

“Hmmm, I’m not sure, but I saw the size of her hands. I think if she got hold of you, more likely you’d end up being her squishy, bruised, and broken toy. One that moaned in pain every time she tried to play with you.”

“So little faith in my abilities to keep a lady entertained.” Fen double checked the Portal settings. They were currently set to standby, nothing should be able to stumble out, but over the last few months there’d been spikes in the power grid. More power attracted more magical beings. And too frequently of late creatures like Bigfoot were turning up, causing mischief, and a lot more work for the Enforcement Team.

“Entertained, huh? So when exactly would you have told your hirsute lady friend about your vow of celibacy?”

“You trying to tell me you weren’t willing to step in and save my virtue if Bigfoot had managed to catch up to me?”

Brodie shrugged, still grinning. “I don’t know, I thought you two kids made a cute couple. I bet under all that hair she’s quite the looker.”

Fen shuddered, then grinned. “I’m sure. But since I don’t have a weed whacker on me, it seems like our interspecies love story has come to a thankfully swift and brutal end.”

Brodie laughed… and then because she couldn’t help herself, she laughed even louder, one hand splayed across her sore tummy. She was utilising a muscle group that she hadn’t used in ages.

Her mouth abruptly snapping shut as suddenly Fen was standing only inches away, his cerulean gaze sparkling with amusement, high colour still clinging to his cheeks whilst a day worth of stubble growth gave him a rakish air that had Brodie’s gut dipping in awareness.

“What are you…?”

Heat simmered in those cerulean depths. “You should laugh more often… it suits you.”

Corresponding heat leapt low in Brodie’s body. Suddenly she was uncomfortably aware that she was sweaty and probably dirt smeared, but Fen continued to look at her as if she were a treasure he’d just spent a lifetime searching for.

She should step back, he was too tempting. Or say something witty and meaningless, shrug off the moment. Her heart suddenly racing faster than it had been when she’d been dashing head long after Bigfoot.
