The bartender raised an eyebrow at the girl as she set a box on the counter of his bar. \u201cYou\u2019re that Summer girl, right?\u201d he asked absently, and then nodded as he stepped away to find his employer. Several minutes later, he returned, \u201cVex\u2019ll be out momentarily.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

And several moments later, the Mesmer appeared, walking over to where Summer stood at the bar. He was dressed in his finest. \u201c\u2018Ello, Precious,\u201d he greeted, \u201cYa called?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Vex smiled good-naturedly at her, \u201cJust kidding, of course.\u201d \u00a0He pulled her up the stairs almost eagerly, glad to be with Summer today rather than alone. \u201cAnd good, because so do I,\u201d he replied, which was true; \u2018precious\u2019 felt much more natural. \u00a0He pulled open the door to his private room upstairs and let her inside, shutting the door behind them. He stuck the red velvet cake in his mini-fridge, and then took a seat on the leather sofa. \u201cC\u2019mere,\u201d he said simply, casting a smile her way.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“You had better be,” she scolded. Hands on her hips, she strode across the room to stand between his knees, hipshot. “Imagine, preferring hookers when you could have called me.” She frowned down at him before reaching out and rapping him on the top of the head with a fist. “The cheek of you. That\u2019s what you Brits say, right, cheek?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His smile shifted to a friendly smirk as she moved over to him, chuckling lightly. \u201cOh stop, I could never prefer \u2018em to you, Precious,\u201d he told her, and then rolled his eyes at the Brits comment. \u201cSome of \u2018em,\u201d he muttered, \u201cBut seriously, Summer, I\u2019d never<\/em>.\u201d He reached out to grab her wrist so that she wasn\u2019t knocking him on the head anymore, and then pressed a kiss to the back of her hand.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Amused, she let him, and then frowned more thoughtfully. “What are you all dressed up for then? Are there \/Fae\/ hookers?” It wasn’t so much a condemnation as curiosity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
