One long, long hour later, during which Sinjin relentlessly pushed all my buttons, we landed in Aberdeen. As we exited the plane, Rand stood next to me while Sinjin moved down a few rows to get his bag from the overhead. Luckily for Rand and me, we didn’t need any luggage since our magic meant we could create whatever we required.

“I couldn’t help but notice you…arguing with Sinjin,” Rand started as my stomach plummeted. God, I hoped my rebellious sparring with the impossible vampire hadn’t jeopardized my disguise...

“Oh,” I started, but remembered I was speaking in my own voice again. Luckily, Rand didn’t seem to notice.

“I would be more than happy to share a ride with you if you’d like,” he said with a boyish smile. It was just like Rand to offer help to the damsel in distress. I could think of nothing I’d rather do than share a ride with him but as myself, Jolie, not as Tallulah the hippie cowgirl.

I cleared my throat and in the split second decision required to change my voice, I could only think of Dolly Parton, go figure. So, my voice came out soprano high, southern, and completely weird. “Thanks for the offer but Sin…and I were just havin’ a…lover’s quarrel.” Not only was my voice ridiculously high, but my accent was worse, a cross between a redneck in Deliverance and Scarlett O’Hara. Still, ridiculous or not, it didn’t appear Rand was in any way wise to my deception.

He just smiled and nodded. “I understand.”

“Thanks all the same…shugah.” Ugh, this was just embarrassing.

He turned and started down the narrow aisle, his body taking up the entirety of the small space. His relaxed dark jeans cupped his ass beautifully and contrasted against the white of his tee shirt and the navy blue of his…jumper as he called it. God, he was just beautiful.

Apparently the flight attendants concurred, as they both watched him and once he’d departed, one turned to the other, and whispered. “Holy shit, was he hot.”

I didn’t have a chance to see their reactions to Sinjin because he was several people behind me but I’m sure it would be the same. Despite being surrounded by incredibly handsome men, it didn’t take away from the fact that they were equally frustrating.
