Excerpt:
My fingers tightened around the slender remote. โI was thinking that if the prince can sense me, why hasnโt he showed up here?โ
โI donโt know.โ Tink came down to the coffee table and started marching across it. Iโm not the prince, but if I was the prince, Iโd be buying time.โ
โBuying time?โ I scooted to the edge of the couch.
โYeah, because heโs got to win you over.โ Tink swiped up the straw heโd had in his Coke. It was nearly the size of him. โThatโs basically what he has to do if he wants to impregnate you.โ
I cringed, like a full body cringe. โPlease do not use the word impregnate ever again.โ
โWhy? Thatโs what he wants to do.โ He started dancing with the straw, the kind of dancing you see in the clubs. Hips gyrating all over the place. โHe knows coercing or tricking you isnโt going to get the deed done, so heโs probably trying to learn how not to be a sexed up dickhead.โ
โSexed up dickhead?โ I repeated.
โUh-huh.โ Tink dipped the straw as one would a dancer. โRemember when I was telling you how I saw the prince getting it on with three females once? Heโs totes sexed up. And heโs a dickhead. In other words, he has no empathy or compassion. No humanity.โ
โMost fae donโt.โ
Tink twirled the straw. โYeah, but the ancients are worse. Theyโre as far away from human as you can get. Heโs going to have to work on wooing you.โ
I slowly shook my head. โThatโsโฆโ There were no words.
โThatโs what Iโd do.โ Tink dropped the straw and whipped around toward me. โOr heโs plotting something major and any moment heโs going to knock down the front door and storm the place.โ
โWow.โ A fine shiver curled down my spine. โThatโs really a relaxing thought.โ
He zipped over to the couch and sat on the arm. He tipped his head back and stared up at me. โDonโt worry. Iโm here to protect you.โ
I just looked at him, because other than ordering shit off of Amazon, the only strength he had was the unique ability to annoy the crap out of me while somehow still managing to be endearing.
Tink grinned. โTrust me, Ivy. The Prince is not going to want to mess with me.โ
Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleansโฆ
