themselves, she thought of her one true love. “Phillip.”
“Christ.” Looking around the room, she saw Aaron first. He was rushing around with a blanket in his hands. Then she saw him, her one and only love. And he was as naked as the day he’d been made.
“Hello there , my love. Figured it out, did you?” Phillip took the blanket from Aaron and wrapped it around his waist as he walked toward her. It was apparent that he’d been in the shower. Soap still clung to his hair. His face was filled with humor and love, and she wanted nothing more than to pull him to her and kiss him. But there was the matter of Rythen.
“You shouldn’t have been able to do that.” She quirked a brow at him. “Nothing in this world is strong enough to support you that way. I’m the only one, and you didn’t touch me.”
“You think I got this from one being? Or do you think that I stole it? You do, don’t you?” His face said that he had. “Well, for your information, I asked and got what I needed. As you made me of both worlds, I govern them both. And as much as you think I’ve failed, they love me and were more than willing to help me.” Elizabeth took Phillip’s hand. “I’ve been thinking about what you’re planning for me. And while there is little to nothing I can do to prevent you from doing what you think best, I want you to know that I plan to live my final days with my family. And if you don’t like that, you can just fuck the hell off.”
When she turned back to Phillip , he was dressed, and they sat down on the couch together. Elizabeth had never felt so good in her entire life. When Duncan came in with his tray, she smiled up at him when he handed her a large glass of sweet tea.
“My lady. Sire. I see that things are the way they should be once again. Will you be staying for dinner? I do believe we are having roasted chicken with all the bulbs.” It took her several seconds to figure out what he meant.
“Trimmings. And yes, that would be lovely.” He winked at her and offered Phillip a glass as well. When he turned to Aaron, Duncan smiled before speaking. “Sire, there is all manner of people in the kitchen. Master Colin is very…I would say he is displeased, but that would be an understatement. Lady Sara is working to calm him, but there are the others. Lady Shade has also threatened to cut some…parts off the young man who is flirting with her, and then there is Lady Maddie. I do believe she has gotten better with her magic in recent days.”
“ Others, Duncan? It sounds as if you have a few visitors there. That kitchen is pretty big. Just how many others are there?” Duncan flushed at his master, and Elizabeth put her hand over her mouth to stifle the laugh she felt bubbling up. “Duncan, you’re scaring me.”
“All that could fit, sire. And then some. The faeries have taken to the ceiling so as not to be smashed. The brownies and the pixies are…. Sire, I do believe there is a war going to come from this.” He looked to the kitchen when a crash sounded. “I believe that was my new mixer. Someone will need to replace that posthaste.”
As Duncan moved toward the kitchen, Aaron did as well. Logan didn’t move but sat in the chair looking for all the world like he had not a trouble in the world. Rythen was staring at him, and it took Elizabeth a few seconds to realize that they were speaking.
“It is considered rude to talk in a foreign language when there are others about. I’m sure the same could be said for telepathy conversations.” Logan looked at her and smiled. “And you, sir, look as if you might have solved some great mystery.”
“I do believe I have.” Logan stood up and took her hand. After kissing it, he looked to Phillip. “Have you finished the book? Mathew will be thrilled to death that you’re home by the way. And he has a great deal more pictures to add to his book the two of you are creating for future generations.”
“I have only just. And pictures?
