Thalia stared after Lumos. The Fae moved like a cat, every muscle defined beneath his glossy, tight clothes. The small cottage had filled with the unique scent of him. The moment she had taken his hand, his heat had consumed her, wrapping around her like a warm hug. She considered her feelings. One minute the man mesmerized her, the next she wanted to run away from him. Could she trust him? Would he pounce on her the second she fell asleep? Oh goddess, he is so big, so strong.

Brew rubbed around her legs, his silky caress brushed over her bare flesh. Thalia recollected the day Nell had brought the kitten to her, a very small, black bundle. His eyes had been blue then, and the poor creature had cried all night until she had taken him into her bed. Nell’s words came back to her in a flash. “This cat will be with you always, you must trust his instincts.”

“You do seem to like Lumos”—she bent down to rub the cat’s velvet ears—“so I will trust your judgment for I have lost my way, Brew. To me, every male is a threat.”

As if to consolidate her remarks, Brew greeted Lumos with a string of chirrups. The Fae looked down at Thalia with a wide grin. She looked from one to the other in amazement.

“Brew told you, did he not? Brew, you are… Gods … I thought you were on my side!”

“It would make our journey together easier if you trusted me, little one.” Lumos pushed his hands into the back pockets of his pants. “We will eventually have to ride the horse together and when the snow comes we must sleep under the same blanket for warmth or you will surely die of cold.” He threw logs on the smoldering fire. “If I am not allowed to drink wine, perhaps you will indulge me with a cup of tea?” He opened a jar and sniffed the contents. “Ah, let me see. Do I smell rosehips, chamomile and mint?”

He had acted so nonchalant then casually inferred they would sleep together. Her stomach turned over and fear clenched her in a wave of terror. Drawing a deep breath, she spun around and glared at him. “Do you really expect me to sleep under the same blanket with you?”

“Aye, we should sleep together for warmth. The rest of the time, I will sleep under the stars and you may have the wagon. If this arrangement causes you to fear me, then I will not ask you again.” Lumos filled the kettle from a barrel of water and placed it on the fire. “You should know Fae males hold all females in high regard. They are very precious to us and if any Fae willingly causes harm to befall an innocent female, the elders banish them from the magyck worlds. To be cast out into Nomag realms means we are no longer able to sustain our lives and we eventually die.”

She snorted in disagreement, took down two mugs, and spooned dried herbs into a large teapot.
