I breathed in the night air, letting its crispness slowly fill me as I looked up at Jareth. He was officially scrumptious, with those patrician features and long, lean limbs. I knew he wasn’t using a glamour either. This was au naturel Jareth. And that was Faerie Lords for you.
Said scrumptious Faerie Lord was staring into the fire in front of us and studiously avoiding my gaze.
My patience gave out. “Well?”
“Well what?”
“It’s the solstice.”
“And?”
“Isn’t that supposed to be significant to you magical types?”
He shrugged. “Could be.”
“So you’re really just going to spend it here curled up under a blanket with me toasting marshmallows?”
He stretched his feet against mine and shifted his marshmallow to toast on the other side. “Looks like it.”
“That can’t be good for recharging your magical energy.”
“There are other energies of mine that need recharging.”
I smiled in spite of myself. “Toasted-marshmallow-based energies, your highness?”
The heat of him flared along my back like wildfire. “Among others, Sarah mine.”
