An ex-prince’s work is never done



I am Scott, at least that is the name I use in the human realm. Why do I need a human name?

That is a complicated tale worthy of a thick tome and warm fire.

Being banished from the fairy kingdom was a blow to my self esteem, that it was my younger brother who made the decree nearly broke my heart. I should have been the future king of the Autumn fairies, my life devoted to coloring the trees of the forest to the harvest colors you know best.

*Sighs* If I hadn’t have fallen for a fairy of Winter and abandoned my throne under the pretense of love, perhaps none of this would have happened.

Then again, if I’d remained Prince Silvyn, I wouldn’t have meet Jenny. She’s…the last thing I

expected to find and everything I could need to help heal my frozen heart. I only wish that…she cannot remain in the fairy land and I, well, I cannot leave.

Until we come to that impasse, at least I am free to enjoy flying across the moonlight sky with her in my arms, or sneaking away to a waterfall to peel the dress from her water-kissed body.

If you will excuse me. *Silvyn bows* *His golden wings flutter, casting glitter through the air as he takes flight* An ex-prince’s work is never done.

Here's a look at my story:

Suddenly, we shot out of the clouds, wisps of dark cotton floating away below

us. Scott spun us until an orange moon filled the sky. Awe overwhelmed me, my

bare toes numbing in the autumn chill as I stared in wonder at the harvest moon

above the clouds.

A snicker caused me to turn away. Scott smiled and moved closer. His lips

caressed mine, our bodies pressing together as we kissed by the silhouette of

the moon. Warmth blossomed through me, chasing away the cold of the night.

My eyelids fluttered open and I stared up into his beautiful face.

His wings stopped flapping. Time slowed, my stomach leaping into my throat

as the claws of gravity dug in and yanked us down. I screamed and Scott’s

fingers slipped from my body. The wind rushed around me, my hands scrabbling

for anything to grab. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught the fairy take wing.

Gold dust rained from the sky I very quickly fell out of.

Did I already hit terminal velocity? What did it matter? I’d be ripped apart by

those massive trees either way. Screwing my eyes up tight, I starfished my limbs

out in the hope it might slow my descent. Please let it be fast.

A warm laugh rolled over my ear and hands snatched around my midsection.

“You can open your eyes,” Scott said sounding unperturbed at the crash.

I risked one, fearing that I’d find the ground an inch away and a stick about to

impale me through the chest. Deep indigo water greeted me a good fifty feet

down. The cool lake stretched clear across the entirety of my sight as Scott

lowered us closer.

“Did you do that on purpose?” I shouted, trying to calm my heart before it

burst.

The hands keeping me safe held while the voice shrugged. “I needed you in a

different position.”

“You could have asked!” I screamed, a stupid laugh rising at how close I

skirted to death. Still alive. Still in a fairy world. But alive. The throbbing of blood

through my veins pooled in my skull, bringing back the damn headache I couldn’t

shake.


“Then…” Scott dipped us lower, my skirts fluttering out and nearly glancing

across the lake’s still surface. “Do you mind me taking you from behind?”

He had no idea what he was saying.

He was totally fucking with me.

Both thoughts rolled through my head at once. One pointed out that he’d

clearly been a human long enough to get innuendo. The other stabbed a pointer

at the fact he was a prince and princes didn’t get involved with random

commoners or whatever I’d be. Did they think of humans as vermin? Or pets?

“Only if you’re gentle,” I said, trying to balance between both possibilities.

“So hair pulling is off the table?” his silky voice rolled deep inside of me and I

quivered in his arms.
