“You'll be laughing on the other side of your face soon.” Carrion used one hand to dust the snow off his pants and the other to flip me off. “It's almost your turn. My ass can't take much more of this.” “I bet that's the first time you've said those words,” I called. He stuck out his tongue like a petulant child. “I'm more of a giver than a receiver, actually.”
Black shadows spilled from Fisher's fingers. Smoke roiled up the table legs and swept across the tabletop like morning mist rolling across a field. It swallowed our food, the wicker basket, everything. With a crash, the table flipped, toppling to the floor, and then Fisher was on his feet, lifting me out of my chair, lifting me from the ground...crossing the tent. My back slammed up against something solid and hard—a bookcase?—but it wasn't the shock of the pain that ripped the air from my lungs. It was Fisher's mouth. His lips crashed down onto mine.
“I can't believe you're eating cake,” I groused, dragging a footstool dangerously close to the fire. “It isn't cake. It's quiche,” Carrion said around a full mouth. “What’s quiche?” “Dunno. It's made out of eggs and some other stuff. It's delicious. Here.” He held out the slab of food. “Want some?”
“Swift. Earlier. Back in the war room. You were trading that cake back and forth with him for ages.”
“Because I fucking said so.” “Is it some weird Fae custom that I don’t know about?” “No,” he answered stubbornly. “It doesn’t mean anything. Share all the bowls of stew you like with Lorreth or Ren. Just don’t share food with that prick. It's bad enough that you insist on sharing air with him. I'd rather you didn't eat off the same fucking plate, too.” “What have you got against Carrion?” “I don’t want to talk about Carrion,” he growled.
“Malcolm’s a high Fae vampire. The very first. We were cursed thousands of years ago, and the Fae turned into something very like Malcolm. When a cure was found, my great-grandfather and most of the other Yvelian Fae took it. They were horrified by the monsters they'd become and wanted to return to their old lives. But there were those who liked the dark magic the curse afforded them. They liked the power and the promise of immortality.” “Aren't the Fae already immortal?” Fisher chuckled. “No, Little Osha. We’re not. Our lifespans are the subject of much research and conjecture. We outlive

“You don't hate me as much as you pretend to,” I said. He stepped toward me, leonine, predatory, dangerous. “Don't I?” “No, you don't.” “That's an interesting theory.” “I don't think you hate me at all.” He laughed but took another step forward. “You think very highly of yourself then, don't you?”
His lips crashed down on mine. He stole my words, claiming my mouth with a ragged snarl.
Fisher's eyes flared as he grabbed the front of my pants by the waistband and pulled me roughly to him. “You asked for this. When you're sore from coming so hard and you can't recall your own name, remember that, Little Osha.” He held my gaze as he yanked open my pants and shoved them down my thighs.
he tore my underwear to one side and plunged his fingers into the molten wet heat of my core, but his hand closed around my windpipe, stealing my ability to breathe.
Kingfisher purred as he plunged his finger...

Fisher bowed his head, leaning into me, his mouth so close to mine. “When you take all of me, remember to breathe.” He let go of my throat,
“I can't wait to hear what kind of sounds you make when I thrust into you for the first time,” he purred. “I'm going to make you pant for me, Little Osha. And when we're done, I'll close my eyes and replay the sound of you moaning in my head every time I stroke myself to completion.”
Fisher took hold of himself as if he knew what I'd just been thinking, slowly shuttling his hand up and down his cock. “Let your knees fall open,” he demanded. “I—” “No arguments, Osha. I've driven myself half-crazy wondering what you look like. I need to fucking see. Put me out of my misery.”
“Such a pretty flower, blooming just for me,” he rumbled, climbing up onto the end of the bed. His hands closed around my ankles,
I screamed as he yanked me down the bed toward him.
“Not yet,” he murmured against me. “You don't get to come until I say so.”
I felt his growl vibrating through me,
he dipped his fingers inside of me, teasing my entrance with just the tips of his index and middle finger,
He wasn't going to stop me this time. He drew me to my climax with determination, a gratified growl of victory ripping from his throat when he pushed me over the edge.
I felt his hands tighten on my thighs as I bucked and writhed,
