Chapter 9

Blush of a princess:

Red is the night that brings about the beast.

“Penelope, fly faster!” I shouted over the night wind. My red ponytail whipped behind me, and my hands cramped where I held her mane. I was almost there. Almost. “You must hurry!”

My Fae-gift’s wings beat at the air even harder, obeying my frantic command. The air was chilled, but I was not. Penelope surely felt it radiating down on her, keeping her warm, while I was a Fae-damned heat box of needy flesh.

The very air hurt because it wasn’t him.

This realm would burn if I couldn’t touch him.

All I wanted to do was land and be fucked.

But I couldn’t. It wasn’t safe.

I peered behind me, squinting into the darkness.

King Athon wasn’t too far behind. My Fae-gift was smaller and faster than his, though. He needed to catch up to me quickly.

It felt like my body was going to burst into flames.

I wasn’t sure I could control it. Real fire lighting up the sky during nightfall wasn’t an intelligent move over the Shifter Kingdom. It would be a beacon for all to see.

A shiver drew its ugly claws down my spine. Sweat beaded and dried up, only to reappear on my body. My clothes were soaked and sticking to me in the wind. And my nether region throbbed in true pain, keeping me hunched over at all times.

So when King Athon’s castle came into view, fat tears rolled down my heated cheeks.

I didn’t bother wiping them away. They were cold.

Penelope landed on the balcony of King Athon’s personal office in an effortless glide I could not have been more grateful for.

“Thank you, precious girl.” I smoothed my hand down her neck, and then unstrapped myself. When I slumped down her body, barely holding myself up, I ordered swiftly, “Hide. Do not let anyone see you.”

And…my Fae-gift trotted into the office and lay down behind my soul mate’s desk.

I wiped off my sweaty forehead and stared. “Why do I get the feeling you’ve done that before?”

A soft neigh came from behind the desk.

With a careless wave of my hand, I indicated I couldn’t be bothered with this right now. I trudged on shaking legs to the hidden access of King Athon’s bedchamber. It was hard making my way up the stairs, but I did manage without falling down.

“I suppose I shall be nice,” I muttered as I crested the other side of the spelled wall. I marched my way into the bathroom to brush my teeth. Thoroughly. My soul mate would not be complaining while this heat happened, because my lady bits would take him any way right now. That was embarrassing…but true. I spat the bubbles into the sink, wiped my mouth off, and inspected my red image in the mirror. “I look like blood. It is a good thing he is fond of that.”

I stumbled back into the bedchamber and growled foul curses trying to take my clothing off, the finery sticking to my body.

Then I shrieked when I was lifted off my feet.
