“Of course, I do.”
“Let’s go to bed. I can answer them in there.”
“Bed?”
“In there.” He leaned my way. His face was in front of mine. It was hard to look away from his glittering eyes. Remy’s sweet scent twirled and twisted around me.
I finished the tea and almost wished I hadn’t. Pressure pushed in my head. Invisible hands messed around in my skull. My whole mind was being reworked and reimagined into something else.
“What was in the tea?” I asked
“The same thing that is inside of you.”
“Which is?”
“Life.”
“I need you to make more sense.”
He laughed. “Just let go, my little ice queen.”
All day, I’d prepared the jails and myself to battle the snow creatures and make sense of it all. Now, they’d come alive, walked through my bars, and the sexiest of them, carried my shocked body off and flew me away.
Now, I stood deep within the earth in some sort of ice palace set up for a royal couple.
Now, I had no idea what would happen next, and for once I could shed away all my worries.
Now, I’d really lost my damned mind.
What was there to worry about? The impossible had happened. The craziest of things had come true. Life was not as dead set and rule-oriented as I’d originally thought.
Now, it was best to just live and let go, taking in every second and simply breathe.
Breathe, Faith. Just breathe.
“Are you scared to lay in bed with your snowman?” Remy asked.
I blushed. “No, I just don’t think it’s normal.”
“Nothing tonight will be normal.”
“Finally, we agree on something.”
“No night is ever normal.”
“Not true.”
“Very true.” He guided me forward. “Come.”
“Where are we going?”
“To our hidden paradise.”
A massive bed of gray and black furs lay before my gaze. So soft and comfy. It made me think of warm lips against skin and the taste of sunshine caught within the sprinkling of snow.
Hot blood drummed in my ears, melting away all the calm I’d mustered up earlier. “We’re going to the bed?”
He laughed.
