“Would you like to come in with me?” Lola asked as she tucked her cellphone into her bag.“Nay,” he said, shaking his head as he looked at the chimes beside the door. The thick iron bells clanging in the slight breeze.“I’ll be quick then.”“Take you’re time, I’ll be waiting for you.” Bodach said as he leaned against the porch railing. Looking out over the yard, he let out a sigh as the door closed behind him.***Lola stepped outside, the brown paper package clutched close to her chest. The redwood jewelry box wrapped up nice and safe. She glanced around the porch for Bodach. He had chosen to stay outside, Lola could understand that. If she had been trapped for as long as he had in that box she wouldn’t want to be indoors more than she had to either.Debating with herself about planning a picnic for the men, she wondered if they would like that? Maybe they could go for a hike on one of her favorite walking trails.Looking out onto the well-manicured lawn, she frowned. Bodach wasn’t th

Walking down the sidewalk, Lola was lost in thought. Unaware of the four men that followed her. She turned down the street, stopping to wait at the crosswalk as she waited for the light to change.Shifting the box to her side as she clutched it with one arm. Smoothing her ponytail. Before all but skipping towards the antique shop as the light changed. An older gentleman with red hair and deep chocolate eyes held the door open for her. His toothy grin sent shivers down her spine.“Thank you,” she whispered as she hurried past him, unable to shake the eerie feeling he gave her.The bells twinkled above the door as Lola walked into Erik’s antique shop. It was quiet except for the whistling of the kettle. “Erik?” Lola called out as she stepped up to the cash register. Sitting the box down gently on the counter, she brushed her hands over her top, smoothing the material down. She couldn’t wait for Erik to see it. Walking out of the back room with his nose buried in a book. He moved towar

Lola stopped, pulling her hand from Puca’s grasp. As she came to a stop and looked up at him, “I said I was coming back home soon, what are you doing?” “Getting you out of danger.” Puca turned to look at Lola. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes shone in the sunlight. “I wasn’t in any danger.” Lola said as she glared up at him, “Erik is my friend.”Puca held up his hands showing her the healing scorched skin, “There is something in there that isn’t safe.” Lola stepped closer, taking his burnt hand in her own so she could study his palm, “Don’t be ridiculous, why are you hurt? And why do you think there is something in the store that’s dangerous?” “Iron, it was on all of the doors. The windows too, even the bells.” Puca said, watching the wisp of purple hair that escaped her ponytail and caressed her shoulder. “I don’t understand.” “Iron hurts my kind. The runes traced into the box you found us in were sealed in it. I don’t know why it didn’t hurt you.” He brought his

After the grocery store, Lola and the fae headed towards her apartment. They got everything unloaded and a quick lunch was made and enjoyed while Lola introduced the men to cartoons. Their laughter filled the room until Lola’s phone chimed, pulling her attention away. Lola looked down at her phone, unlocking the screen to see a message waiting for her.Erik: Just check to see if you made it home safely.Lola brought her fingers to her lips, smiling while looking down at the screen as she typed back a message.Lola: I did. What are you doing?Erik: Thinking about you ;)Lola blushed as she tucked her legs up on the couch. She was absorbed into the device and didn’t notice the golden eyes that studied her. Moving along her long, pale toned legs down to her pale pink polished toes. Puca bit his lip, fighting back a groan as he watched her from across the room. Jealousy flared to life as he watched her staring at the rectangle in her hand. The way that it made her smile. He liked that s

Lola’s lips parted with a gasp at the feel of his hands on her breasts. Those fingers moved, plucking at her nipples. Making her bit her lower lip, arching her back as she tried to hold back a moan. His lips pressed against her throat, and she rolled her hips, needing more from him.Wanting more.His teeth scarped across her collarbone before his tongue soothed her skin, gently sucking into his mouth. Leaving love bits that would mark up her skin long after their lovemaking. Lola gasped at the nails that scrapped over her hipbone. Fingers moving lower to gently tug at the curls between her thighs, making her whimper. She felt lips press against her ribs in feather light kisses that had her panting as the lips that had been on her collarbone moved lower. Biting at the top of her breasts. Those lips trailed lower and the fingers that were plucking at her nipples moved. Allowing the other man to engulf one tight peak as the other set of lips kissed their way to her other breast. Lola
