Once her muscles stretched to accommodate him the pain lessened and she could feel
the intensity of nerves not used to being fired. It was overwhelming, but in a good way.
He slid in all the way to the root and they both stilled, letting her body stretch around
him that final bit. She could feel him pulsing, his fingers stroked her inner walls and she
realized he was touching himself through the thin barrier between her pussy and anus.
The thought of it turned her on so intensely that she started to come and reached down
to move the heel of his hand against her clit. He moaned at that and began to fuck her
with both his hand and his cock as she exploded around him.
Oh, man. That s so good, he grunted, as she clamped down on him, her pussy
spasming around his fingers, honey raining down onto his hand. Her cries of pleasure,
the way her body clutched at him, it was too much and he began to come, his strokes
choppy now instead of fluid. He put his forehead against her shoulder, breathing hard,
his heart pounding against her back as he emptied into her.
He pulled out slowly and rinsed them both off gently, with such care that it made
her chest hurt.
He looked up at her as he dried her off with soft circular strokes. What did you
think? Did I hurt you? he asked.

You didn t hurt me, she said as she kissed along his jawline. It was intense but I
liked it. Not something I d do every day but something I d definitely want to do again.
He grinned. Good, now shall we take a tour?

He took her through tropical forests and to rivers and lakes. They visited the
western sea where his mother lived although they avoided her home as well as the
northern shores, which were craggy and cold and dangerous-looking.
They ate a late lunch back at their home on the southern Sea of Sighs and she
delighted in the differences in such a small island and said so.
His face got sad. There are so few of us left. Once Tir na nOg teemed with the
Sidhe but now we are but half of our old numbers.
Why?
War, mainly. We don t get sick. We live in a society where there are more males
than females, which leads to less population growth. We have such long lifespans that
many times we do not mate until it appears to be too late. Fae females can and do have
children after five thousand or so, my mother did at thirty thousand, but there seems to
be a diminished fertility after about ten thousand.
Con, where s your father? You ve never spoken of him.
He sighed. He died three thousand years ago. Murdered.
She looked at him with alarm. Oh no! I m so sorry, Con. How? Who?
Dark Fae, he saw the confusion on her face and explained, sort of like your dark
mages or practitioners of the dark path. They are those who hate humans and the fact
that the Fae have protected them for millennia.
He stood up and began to pace. My father was part of the Queen s Favored as
well. As such, it was his job to keep the Fae in line with regard to their behavior toward
and treatment of humans. A cop of sorts.
Eight thousand years ago he executed one of us who d been using one of our
magical items to bespell humans and cause them harm. He d been warned repeatedly to
stop but he refused. After an entire village of humans was bespelled and several were
killed, my father had to obey the queen s orders and track Aillen down and execute
him.
You ve no idea how rare this is, Em. We don t kill each other, not the way humans
do. Our wars have been with other beings. For a Fae to kill another Fae& it s a very
difficult thing to bear. My father hated it but he did it. Not only because his queen
ordered it but because it is one of our worst crimes to harm humans through magic.
Three thousand years ago, the sons of Aillen and other members of the group of
Dark Fae hunted my father and murdered him in revenge. Finn and I were with him
that day. We d been swimming and were laying on the sand to dry in the sun. I wanted

a shave ice but not one that I conjured, I wanted to go to a place not too far away to get
it from a stand. Because we can simply make things by will, handmade items are highly
sought after here. My father didn t want to come so Finn and I went to get some for the
three of us. They got him while we were gone.
My selfish insistence over those bedamned ices got my father killed. I couldn t
have just conjured something up with magic, no, I had to go and get something for the
novelty, he said softly, the pain in his voice clear.
She stood up and went to him, blocking his pacing. Oh, love, the bad guys killed
your father, you wanting a shaved ice didn t cause that.
If I d been there, I could have protected him.
You said your father was one of the Queen s Favored? That s like a squad of super
warriors, right?
He nodded.
So, your dad, he got old and retired?
No. No, not at all. My father, even at sixty thousand, was hale and hearty and
