Page 48 of Fae's Mate
“Are you doing that?”
“I am.”
She turns to me, her expression full of wonder and excitement. “It worked!” she breathes, “You have your full magic. Enough to help heal your court!”
“Ourcourt,” I correct gently.
She reaches her hand out and lovingly caresses my jaw. “Our court,” she repeats, and I bask in her affection.
Leaning closer, she presses her lips to mine in a gentle, tender kiss. I tighten my grip around her waist and pull her against me. She is still naked, and her soft bare skin against my own stirs my desire. Her small breasts (which up to this point I have not yet given my attention—something I plan to remedy very soon) press against my chest and my cock and ears twitch. I swallow my arousal, trying to ignore it. There will be plenty of time for that.
“How does it feel? Your Magic?” Seki asks as she pulls away.
“Like I can feel water…. I can feel the streams and rivers of my court as if they are the blood in my veins, and I can feel the moisture in the air, and bend it to my will.”
A frown draws her dark brows together, and she looks around the room. “Hand me that empty glass,” she tilts her head towards the beside table.
I do as she asks, my frown matching hers, as she takes the glass in her hand and stares at it. Concentration hardens her features as she focuses all of her attention on the empty glass.
What is she doing?
I watch her for a moment, confused. After a while, I go to question what she’s trying to achieve, but I pause. Water gathers along the inside edges of the glass, and slowly, the glass fills. And I’m not the one doing it.
“Seki?” I ask in disbelief.
“I… I think when I got made fae… some of your magic passed to me. When you described how it felt I… I could feel it too…” she glances at me, shock and excitement mixed on her face.
“I didn’t know such a thing was possible…”
She laughs and leans over me, returning the glass to the table.
“Perhaps I have enough to help you heal our court,” she suggests, and my chest swells.
She has taken so many changes in her stride and yet already she thinks of how she can help. Truly, I am the most blessed of fae.
“If that is what you wish, my mate.”
“Of course! I mean, I’m sure I will have duties now, right?”
“Only if you want them. I won’t ask anything of you, but that you are mine.”
She beams at me. “I’m all yours,” she confirms, kissing me again, “but I’d like to help. This is my home now, I want to do what I can, although… I don’t know how.”
“Perhaps you can be my human ambassador. You know the humans far better than me,” I chuckle.
“Human ambassador, I like that.”
She lays her head back down on my chest, fingers swirling in my chest hair. I kiss her forehead and rub my thumb in gentles circles over her shoulder.
“Perhaps your first job as ambassador could be to discuss the matter of my brother’s release with the others?” I venture.
“You spoke to him?”
“I did.”
“Did he tell you who his mate is?”
“Yasmin,” I confirm.
