I admired the starlight highlighting Jareth’s utterly serene features.
“Jareth?”
He opened an eye. “Mmm?”
“I’ve been wondering...”
He popped open the other eye and ran a finger down my forearm. “Spit it out, Sarah love.”
“Right...why do they call you Master March at court?”
“Do they?” His finger began tracing circles on my skin.
“All the time. And then they inevitably do one of those fae smiles I hate.”
“Which are those?”
“Kind of like the one you’re doing right now that makes me want to slap you. No, don’t you arch that amused eyebrow at me.” I grabbed the finger against my skin. “Also, you’re dodging.”
“Am I?”
I let out a low whistle. “Damn, it must be pretty bad. What’s up with the March thing?”
“Just a moniker.”
“Uh huh. Sure it is. Spit it out, Jareth love.”
“Well...you know that saying about how March comes in like a lion?”
“Yes...”
“And you know I wasn’t exactly... saving myself for you before we met.”
“Oh my God.”
“What?”
“You have a Faerie porn name.”
“What?”
“You have a Winter Court moniker referring to your sexual prowess. A Faerie porn name.”
He blinked slowly and smiled that damned fae smile again. “Well, when you put it like that...”
“Oh my God, you like your Faerie porn name, don’t you? That’s it. I’m not sure I can be seen with you at Court.”
“What?”
“Even human girls have standards.”
“Now wait a minute-“
“Go out like a lamb too, do you?”
He eyed me for a long moment. “Good Lord, you’re teasing me, you horrific woman.”
“Might be.” I grinned and redirected his finger back along my skin. “Master March.”
“I’ll show you coming in like a lion, you little minx.”
