Fiona

When my legs go out, Raleigh is there to receive me.

I’m dazzled by the unearthly beauty of fluttering wings as our urgency causes them to take flight. Their afterimages burn trails behind my eyes, until I have to close them, orienting myself to Raleigh.

He’s got me pinned to the tree, so that I can feel the heat of his core between my thighs. He’s so tall, I have to stretch just to kiss him, but he cradles the nape of my neck, keeping me steady. When he pulls away, his eyes are bright with magic. “You’re trembling.”

A breathless laugh escapes me. “Can you blame me?”

“I couldn’t blame you for anything,” he murmurs, dropping low to kiss the hollow between my neck and shoulder.

When his canines graze my skin, a delicious chill crawls up my spine. My nails dig into the fine material of his shirt. “Leigh…”

He doesn’t respond, tearing my nightgown in two.

It falls over my shoulders as his tongue chases a fiery trail to my left nipple before he captures it in his hot mouth. A moan of satisfaction escapes me as he teases it into a pearl, hoisting me higher against the tree in one motion.

I run my hands through his silver hair that reflects the light all around us, from the luminous white flowers to the shimmering butterflies, every color represented. His closed mouth presses to the space between my breasts, and his charged blue eyes flicker up to meet mine. “I missed you, Fiona.”

Desire curls around my spine and squeezes.

When his lips touch my skin again, I forget my worries, if only for a moment. He could have any elf in court but he’s here in the King’s garden with me, instead. I revel in his thorough attention as his eager mouth finds mine again.

I yield because I don’t know how much more of this I’ll get. And maybe I’m a little greedy, too. I push back, struggling to keep up with his thorough tongue. A growl begins deep in his throat, radiating through us both.

He reaches for his pants, his cock springing out as soon as the button unclasps. My core quivers with anticipation, and I steady myself against him. “Are you sure we won’t be caught by anyone?”

“I promise,” he whispers against my flesh, stroking himself in long, slow sweeps. “I don’t recall you being so nervous before. Why now?”

I glance up at the towering palace wall, then shake my head.

It’s different here, among Raleigh’s family and friends of court. I don’t like the idea of some errant elf strolling by and spotting us. It would ruin his reputation more than if he publicly claimed me as his bedmate.

He tucks my hair back and presses his mouth to my ear. “What’s wrong, Fiona?”

“Nothing,” I say, my mind and heart at war. I know better. We’re playing a dangerous game, he and I, treading a perilous path that will only lead to ruin, and I’m worried I’ve fallen too deep. He’s a dark elf, and I’m a human.
