Throwing herself into the leather beside him, Summer gave a prolonged shudder. \u201cLook, I know they\u2019re your people and all, but that kind of thing is why the Unseelie have a bad rep. Did nobody ever tell them that? I feel like a gnat that somehow escaped the spider\u2019s web. Or possibly a mouse getting away from the Cheshire cat.\u201d She put her face in her hands for a moment.<\/p>\n

“Should\u2019ve just fucking smacked one of them to begin with.” Lifting a booted foot, she inspected it. “Maybe I\u2019ll wear spike heels next time. That\u2019ll make an impression. What do you think, Vex? Would I look okay in spike heels?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Mesmer let out a heavy sigh at her words, though he couldn\u2019t blame her for them. \u201cI know, m\u2019dear, but not every Dark Fae is the same either. Don\u2019t let those bloody people get to you.. I mean, \u2018ave I tried to kill you yet?\u201d he told her with a shrug of his shoulders. Then again, most people, he would have.. but he didn\u2019t mention that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That would\u2019ve made the situation worse,” Vex muttered, seeing as it seemed like she was talking more to herself than anything. “You\u2019d look lovely in anything, Summer, but spikes\u2014or some kind of weapon to begin with\u2014would probably be smart,” he admitted. Absently, his hand touched the pistol that he kept inside jacket; he was Fae, sure, but it was always nice to have some kind of back-up.. You could only mesmerize so many people at once, after all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I’m not unarmed,” she said, “merely unweaponed. I don’t study martial arts for my health. I just — it’s a party, and this is your space, and your livelihood, and I didn’t want to start something you couldn’t countenance. Far less have the police down on you — there’s just too much I don’t know.” Slanting a sideways look at him, Summer added, “Is that flattery? I didn’t think you went in for that. Or is there something you want?”\u00a0She ran her fingers over the faint mark on her neck, eyes sliding shut. “After all, if it had been \/you\/ biting me there, I think the outcome would have been rather different.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
