Chapter Three
Hannah couldn’t believeit.The inspection passed on the first time.She got a text on the way out and grinned.Everyone had scattered.Well, it was back to the list of houses that something spectral or haunt-related kept them off the market.First, she had to get into jeans and something on her torso that could get dirty.
Neekil was getting ready for his return to four days on, and then it would be the weekend for the big party.
“This is so exciting.I have never heard of this type of modern magic.”She smiled.
Neekil watched her as she admired the inspection report.“It is a good inspection?”
“It is perfect.Nothing is going to move that house, and it is primed for defensive magic.Oh, and it’s fireproofed now.”
“It seems that the dark fae knows what she’s doing.”
“She does.I want to give her a day and a bit to recover, and then I have a list of buildings I would love to see repaired and restored.My family can do all the insulation and cladding, but having a perfect interior structure would be a wonderful starting point.”
He wrapped his arms around her and slid his hands under her shirt.She sighed and leaned back into his arms.“You already have your stab vest on.No teasing.”
Neekil chuckled.“I am looking forward to our party.I have been briefing those of my people who wish to attend.They are reinforcing the caverns as we speak.”
She looked back at him, and just before he kissed her, she whispered, “Do you think Isocar can help with that?”
He kissed her and then grinned.“If she can deal with a dozen musky dark elves, she is welcome to try.”
She went up on her toes and kissed him back.“I don’t think it will be a problem.I will text her.”
He turned her to face him.“Just one kiss for luck.”
She glanced at her watch.“You go on shift in an hour.”
He rubbed his forehead against hers.“Like I said, just one kiss.”
She sighed and nodded.He grinned and tipped her onto the bed, peeled off her jeans, and, while she was laughing, he administered the singular kiss for one full hour.

Neekil left his matenapping as he joined his team for the shift.The guys got one look at him and started laughing.His smugness wrapped around him.“So, shall we bring order to the chaos?”
“I think that you were bringing a little chaos yourself, Neek.”Kairek chuckled.
