Raidh pulled from Jaytee’s arms, stood, and freed them. God, it felt so good to let them out. He fluttered them like he was stretching a limb.

“They’re even more amazing now that I have a full view of them.” Jaytee bit his bottom lip. “Can I touch them?”

Laughing, Raidh took flight, hovering near the ceiling. “If you can reach them, gorgeous.”

Jaytee narrowed his eyes and growled. “Get back down here.”

Raidh zipped around the room, feeling freer than he had in a very long time. He did flips, wishing he had more room to have fun.

“Baby, you’re flying around with your cock exposed to my hungry gaze.” Jaytee started undressing. “If you don’t want me naked, get your cute butt down here now and cover that temptation.”

“Can I show you something cool?” Raidh asked excitedly.

Now completely naked, Jaytee crossed his muscled arms, his smile breathtaking. “I’m already looking at the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, Moonbeam.”

He was definitely good for Raidh’s self-esteem. “Seriously.”

With a sigh, Jaytee dropped his arms. “Okay, show me this cool thing of yours.”

“First, you have to promise me you’re not going to freak out.” Raidh wanted to share everything with his mate, but he never wanted the wolf shifter to see him in a bad light. There wasn’t an evil bone in Raidh’s body, even though Galamir had tried to turn him dark.

With a nod, Jaytee said. “I promise not to freak out.”

Raidh let his powers flow through him, engulfing not only him but his surroundings. It was a simple illusion, but one that made him smile when the four walls faded, giving way to the sparkling forest of the dark fae realm.

Jaytee could feel his mate’s pulsating energy washing over him like a gentle touch brushing against his skin. The room seemed to fade away, replaced by the lushness of a forest with towering trees reaching toward the sky and the sound of birds in the distance.

His wolf whimpered to get out and run free.

“How did you create this?” Jaytee’s amazement was palpable. The vibrant grass beneath his feet was soft and springy, the leaves on the trees rustled gently in the breeze, and glimmering flecks of gold floated through sunbeams that filtered through the canopy above.

The air tasted clean and crisp, with a hint of sweetness from the nearby flowers. It was like breathing in pure, untainted nature.

This forest felt enchanted, mystical even, one that Jaytee could get lost in if he allowed himself to fully succumb to whatever this was.

It had to be an illusion.

He entwined his large hand with Raidh’s delicate one, their bodies so close that Jaytee could see the contrast between his muscular frame and Raidh’s delicate fairy form.

It would be so easy to lose himself in this magical world.

Raidh smiled mischievously, looking almost magical himself.

Jaytee let out a low growl. “Are you using dark magic, Raidh?”

As much as he wanted to give his mate everything he desired—to see him smile and hear him laugh—Jaytee refused to let him use dark magic. One spell could lead to another, until it became too late and Raidh would be consumed by its power. Jaytee couldn’t allow that to happen.

Raidh was walking a slippery slope, and it was Jaytee’s responsibility to keep his mate on the right path. He thought about what the vampire had said. They are dark fairies, after all. They were born evil.

No. Jaytee was determined not to let his mate succumb to that darkness.

“It’s not dark magic.” Raidh placed his hands on his tiny waist and pouted at Jaytee with those big, doe-like eyes. God, he was adorable and sexy all at once. “You promised you weren’t going to freak out.”

The thought of kissing Raidh’s lips lingered in Jaytee’s mind. He was captivated by Raidh’s power and beauty, and the illusion of the forest made it feel like they were the only two creatures in existence.

“I’m standing in a forest with my naked mate while my cock is out. I’m not freaked out. I’m turned on,” Jaytee replied with a smirk.
