Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy, #1)

by Callie Hart

“Y’know, I thought it was weird when he bribed me to take a bath with those boots. I asked one of the sprites who came to bathe me. Y’know, one of the water sprites with the giant…” He mimed cupping a pair of sizable breasts on his own chest. “I asked her why they were trying to flay three layers of my skin off with that weird moss, and they said it was special. They said Fae who liked to bedhop were fond of it ’cause it eradicated the scents of their other partners. I couldn’t think of why Fisher would care if I smelled like those triplets who just started working at Kala’s—” “Gods, you’re incorrigible.” He waggled his eyebrows. “But then I realized that it was you. He didn’t want me smelling like you.” I refrained from commenting. I had suspected that was why Fisher had made Carrion take that bath, but I’d never said it out loud. Not even to give him shit. I didn’t know how it made me feel back then. And I was too much of a coward to admit how it made me feel now.
