Please God no.
A part of me had hoped he was a friend of my roommate, but… nope, my horrible luck was holding strong.
“Mybathroom now. Only room left. You only have yourself to blame,” I said with a devilish grin. Though with his horns and wings,helooked far more like a devil. He just needed a tail. I checked. No tail. But that ass!
“Whatareyou anyway?” I asked. Only after the words were out did I realize how horrible it was to ask such a thing. I’d found it so degrading when the princess had said something similar to me.
“No, forget it. I didn’t mean… I just… ugh!” I didn’t want to apologize to him, but I had to. “Sorry.”
He raised a copper eyebrow. “I suppose you wouldn’t know, would you? I’m an incubus. Well, half incubus, half salmaeri, but I don’t think you have a word for them in the human realm.” His voice was level, kind, almost soothing.
Why was he being so nice?
I wanted to hate him, but my body had different intentions, warming as my gaze dragged over his lean form. All those muscles, and that goldilocks cock hanging between his legs.
Bad body!
We’re mad at him.
Don’t you dare get flustered!
But flustered I got, warmth sweeping up from a simmering heat in my core.
“I should be the one apologizing,” he said, daring to lookcontrite. “I’m sorry, I had to report you to the fae council. My master is on the council, and I couldn’t risk the place of standing and prestige he’s offered me.”
His master?
Standing?
What was it with this world and the politics of power?
“Talk to me when you’ve figured out a way for me to go home,” I hissed. Though after all I’d done to convince myself of the good I could do here, I wasn’t so certain I wanted to go home anymore.
In Providence, all I’d ever be was a bartender.
Here… well, I didn’t know yet, but maybe if I studied hard, I could make a place for myself, maybe I could help people.
Still, I glared at Rook. “Please leave, I need a shower,” I growled.
He grinned. “I could join you, make you feel better?”
The sad part was, he would too, but…
“No. Go.”
He sighed and nodded, but he took his time gathering his things and sauntering out. God that ass!
No!
That’s a bad ass belonging to a bad boy.Nope, that sounded too sexy.Belonging to a jerk!
My body wasn’t so sure, taking a step to follow him before I caught myself.
Rook closed his door.
“And don’t you dare come in here while I’m in the shower!” I shouted.
Even if he had already seen me naked.
