How Does It Feel? (Infatuated Fae, #1)

by Jeneane O'Riley

I much preferred the company of animals to people as it was.

Preach

but sometimes it was like I could only feel with half a heart.

Forshadowing?🤔

“Holy stars,

🙄

Could foxes sparkle and smile at you?

This is the fur of a killer Bella. TITFOAK 😂

I hated nicknames, and even more, I hated when people tried to shorten my name or call me some other name completely.

This chick is annoying.

I smiled, trying not to feel silly.

You are silly. its pretty dumb actually.

“I don’t trust the nut. He belongs in an institution or something,” Cliff murmured.

Fuck this guy.

Cliff shoved past us, clipping Earl’s bony shoulder in a move that sent him almost into the opposite wall.

Seriously fuck this guy.

“It’s Callie, not Cal,” I said under my breath after thanking him for helping me.

Thisbitcgh is so dumb with this shit.

Son of a garbage can!

Wow🙄

Tuna-teeth!

What does that even fucking mean?!🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

“Holy esophagus . . .”

She's really fucking annoying.

“What the fork!?”

🙄

“Grow up, Cal,” I reprimanded myself, feeling my heart flutter as I took in the many sets of wings surrounding me.

Oh wow. I thought her name was callie not cal?🙄

His face was covered in fur, complete with pointy wolf-like ears.

Omg its a furry!😂

Dark green liquid shot out from between his legs and splattered me across the chest and face.

Wtf😯😱😩

I reached my hand out quickly, without hesitation, and rubbed its furry black cheek.

Same girl. same.😂

“I am Callie Peterson,” she finally announced with a raised chin. “Proud environmentalist and biological technician. I was walking through the forest to get my microscope when I stumbled upon an anomaly of luna moths and a perfect circle of destroying angel mushrooms. I live at 4313 Sassafras Road, Willow Springs, Michigan,” she recited.

This bitch is dumb!🙄 leopard homie JUST told her not to tell the prince her name.🤦🏻‍♀️

She would be gone, and with her, whatever poison she had put in my mind.

Uh huh sure buxdy.😏

I didn’t like him near her, keeping her from me. It made me want to kill them both more.

😏

“You killed him!” I yelled, unable to believe what had just happened. I hadn’t even seen him pull the dagger out! He looked up nonchalantly. “He was touching you.”

Yaaaaaaassss!

“He . . . just . . . he helped me up after your guard made me fall!” I stared in bewilderment at the scene before me. Not a second passed before he turned and slammed the freshly cleaned dagger into the unsuspecting guard behind me, and he fell to the ground, dead in a heap next to the other man’s body. He hadn’t even known what had happened. “What the—” I struggled. He grabbed my arm with his gloved hand and leaned in to brush against my ear. “I’ve recently decided I don’t like others touching my things, touching what’s mine.” His deep voice was barely above a whisper as he continued to clean the dagger and sheath it at his side.

🔥🔥🔥😏

He looked disheveled, his dark hair mussed about as if he had been pulling on it.

Awww he was worried.

His beautiful blue eyes suddenly danced with challenge. His entire person began to fade as faint charcoal smoke rose around him.

I love shadow daddies.😍

The hand that wasn’t holding my wrists reached out and slowly parted around my neck like a caress, his thumb on one side, fingers on the other.

Melting emoji

What would it be like to have such a bad, heartless man want me? To come apart only for me and no one else.

Ugh yep I want that.

“Until this moment, I’ve never known you could crave something you’ve never wanted,” his voice was thick like honey.

😏

“That’s it. Good girl.” His voice rasped down on me.

Ooooooooh😍 chills

“Take this,” he said as he handed me the black cloud-like comforter of his bed. I paused to watch him a moment before taking it into my cage. Was he truly giving me his bedding so I didn’t have to sleep on the hard floor? “It’s covered in your filthy human blood,”

😂😂😂

A chill overcame my body as I ran my fingers over the small tooth that hung from my neck. The molar was hers. She had spit it at me in all her fiery magnificence in the blood room. I had pocketed it without thinking.

Awww he made it into a necklace. so cute.😂😂😂😂

She could not live, but already I feared I would not draw breath without a part of her near.

Awwwwwww

But when I had opened the door and saw her lying on the floor of my bedroom under the duress of the other women, all I could think about was slitting their tiny throats for carelessly handling her.

He loves her so much😂

Your father and I quit forcing the issue after you killed all those princesses.

Literally so crazy. I love a morally black shadow daddy.😂😂😂

“Because if you’re not dead, I fear I will leave everything to follow you.”

Awwwwww

“I would find you,”

Melting emoji

“If you die tonight and I never get to tell you, you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.”

Awwwwwwww😭😭

I especially liked how every other Fae tonight would smell only me when they were near her. They would know she was my pet.

*insert shiver here

Most would beg for it.

🙋🏻‍♀️

“I suggest you go to that far back corner with your brother and stop touching what’s mine unless you want your throat slit, Aurelius. Whatever your interest in the human, it ends now,” I growled.

🔥🔥🔥

Letting out a snarl, I grabbed Langmure’s head and ripped it from his body.

😲oh shit😂

A loud crack broke the air as his spinal cord severed. Smoke flowed from my hands like a tornado, shredding Langmure’s Seelie body and sending pieces of him everywhere. His gold blood speckled the room and every person in it.

Siiiick!😂

I saw the lust in his eyes though. Humans were like an exotic prize to most male Fae, and this was no different. He was taking her for himself.

Awww he's protecting her.💜

I knew in that very moment I was so deeply in love with her, and she would be the one thing capable of my demise. The weak point in my unbreakable armor. I stared at her, and it scared me to death. It scared me to death what I wouldn’t do for her.

Awwwwww

Why would he be worried?

Bc he cares duh. He doesn't want to but he does.

Get up. You’re a terrible assassin. I thought you had pull with animals?

😂😂😂

You have no idea the level of pain I will feel when you are gone forever.

Awwwww

That mouth of yours is making me hard with all of these venomous threats.

😂😂😂😂

But something had cracked in him. I could see it in the way he stared at me.

Ya dude he loves you. he hates it that's why he's a dick.duh😂

“You are safe now, lamb. I’ve got you,” he whispered with a trembling voice.

Awwwwwww

“I can lose everything, but not you. I can’t lose you,” he whispered so quietly I knew I wasn’t meant to hear.

Awwwwww so cute.
