“Love, we’ve done the drinking, the dancing, and there’s no mate to be found. It’s time for the fucking.” He gives me a push on the back. “Spread your petals and bloom, little flower.”
I take a glass of wine for good measure and step into the crowd. Sure, no fae males are as gorgeous as Dayton, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be fun to try something with one of them. And maybe he wasn’t lying. Maybe some of them might want me.
“Deal, Dayton,” I say. “But let’s make it three hours. I think I can outlast you.”
He lifts his cup to me as I disappear into the crowd.

Dayton
IcanbarelyseeRosalina; she’s buried in a couch surrounded by fae males. The bastards descended the moment I left her side. The scent of their desire is sickening. They’re ready to fuck her the moment she gives the go ahead.
Which she will because that’s exactly what I told her to do.
“Uh, are you not into this?” the fae female lounging beside me asks. Her finger runs down my bare chest. I lost my shirt an hour ago.
No idea who took it. I was drunk—but I need to be this drunk to stop myself from doing something incredibly stupid.
“Time to wake up.” The fae female squeezes my flaccid cock through my pants. I can’t focus on her.
It was a stupid idea to bring Rosalina here. But she’d looked so desperate. I can’t give her true freedom without defying Kel, but I could give her freedom for one night.
I just didn’t realize how hard it would be. Like when she’d first taken off that cloak and I’d seen what she was wearing. How little she was wearing. I’d wanted to take her straight to a room so no one else could lay eyes on her. Seeing her in the clothes of the Summer Realm, my realm, awoke something primal in me. I wanted to— No. Anything I wanted to do to her was a betrayal to Kel. An even worse one than if I let her go. He’d told none of us to touch her. And if it was for the reason we all suspected—the only fucking logical reason for any of this—then I couldn’t.
It doesn’t mean she can’t have some fun on her own. I doubt Kel would approve of this, but she deserves to let loose. Especially after the way he treats her.
If I can grant her that, I will.
It’s just so fucking hard.
One of the fae males strokes his hand up and down her arm. Another one massages her shoulders. She glances over at me. She keeps doing that. Maybe to see if I’ve left for my private room yet. Nope. There’s no fucking way I’m letting her out of my sight until I have to.
Her arousal is so strong, I can smell it from here. Almost as intense as the time she’d been standing outside my room.
Fuck. When she’d walked in on me and Farron, I’d nearly run after her butt-ass naked and dragged her back between us. Fare and I have shared women before, but he’s never been that into it. But he’d be into Rosie. I know he would.
“There we go,” the fae female giggles, her pert tits wiggling in my face. “You’re hard now.”
I look past her to Rosalina. One of the fae males pulls her on his lap, right over his hard cock. My fists tighten and I stand, accidentally throwing the fae woman to the ground.
The male kisses Rosalina.
Anger ignites in my chest. The monstrous golden wolf rages up inside me. I need to get out of here before I turn.
Rosalina pushes him. “Let me go!”
She crosses the room, but the fae male follows her. “I thought you wanted that,” he slurs.
“I changed my mind.”
Relief floods my chest, and the wolf settles down.
“I haven’t,” the fae male growls. He pulls Rosalina to him. The braids in her hair fall out, exposing her rounded ears. “A human?”
So we’re not fucking done.I push the crowd out of the way to get to her.
“Don’t touch me,” she cries, her eyes dancing around the room. She’s looking for me.
