Chapter 134: The Horny Horse Shifter

Issac bolted upright, the glowing dagger in his grasp seconds away from slitting the neck of the intruder only to relax at the last seconds when he saw who it was.

"Fuck!" He cursed, running his hand through his hair and breathing deeply.

"You look tense," Maxi commented, looking him over. She knelt on his bed and watched intently, trying to figure out what was wrong with him.

Issac fell back on his bed, rubbing his palm down his face and staring at the gilded ceiling. He didn’t know how he became used to this routine but ever since they returned to the Fae realm and he stayed in Aldric’s castle, Maxi would sneak into his bed at night and they slept together.

At first, he had been against the idea but Maxi was persuasive and very persistent. She did not exactly give him a choice. Well, what did he expect anyway? She was a dark Fae, they took what they want, when they want, for their satisfaction and most times, amusement.

Their sleeping arrangement was weird at first, but she’s done it so many times it’s become second nature to wake up to her lying beside him. However, after today’s incident where he was caught off guard by the princes, he was on tenterhooks which was no wonder he almost attacked her.

He was supposed to protect Islinda with his life but a mere diversion spell made him fail his duty. Issac blamed himself for not being alert, he should have noticed the spell before it took control of him, but he didn’t.

While he didn’t like Aldric, he had been given a job and the dark prince must be disappointed with him. Perhaps, this was for good, Aldric would be dissatisfied with his services and send him away - or kill him - and he would be back with his family and friends.

"It’s nothing." He sighed, putting away the now dull weapon, the glow having vanished. Well, to be precise, he hid it under his pillow.

"Really? So this has nothing to do with the little incident I might have heard?" Maxi said teasingly, climbing over his body till she hovered over him.

"You hear a lot of things," Isaac answered, reaching out to thread his fingers through her silky soft hair that fell over the sides of her face like curtains. Maxi closed her eyes, relishing the feeling as Issac massaged her scalp and it was euphoric.

To Issac, he was petting a horse shifter and not an annoyingly sexy dark Fae who was almost naked on his bed. Maxi must not know the definition of covering up because all she had on were skimpy pieces that left little to the imagination.

"It’s not your fault, how could you have known the sneaky little princes would make an appearance? Don’t blame yourself too much, my shy Fae." She said, pinching his cheek.

However, it wasn’t Maxi calling him, "my shy Fae" that drew his brows together, but something else.

"What are you doing?" Issac asked flatly when Maxi lowered herself onto his body.

However, she didn’t answer him, rather there was a silent challenge in her eyes as their gaze locked, their bodies pressed together.

"Maxi," He warned, trying to shake her off him but she clung to him like an octopus.

"Get off me."

"No."

"Why?" He didn’t understand, she was not usually like this.

"I’m horny."

Issac stiffened beneath her, his hand pausing midair as he was about to push her off him.

She really was shameless. Usually, their kind had no qualms about sex but their females were still modest and let the males play their role. However, the tempting horse shifter on top of him was shameless. Simply shameless! All that has been between him and Maxi was harmless flirting, until now.

Issac opened his mouth to speak but no words could come out. What was he going to say? This was an awkward conversation and he had no idea how to go about it.

He finally spoke up, "Why are you telling me this?"

"I can be aggressive and hyperactive when courting and mating, and horses are socially sensitive creatures."

Issac swallowed.

"We are not courting." He reminded her in case she forgot.

"You’re the only male around me."

"There’s Aldric," He suggested and the glare she shot at him was enough to remind him never to make such a mistake for the rest of his life.

"That doesn’t mean I’m your Fae fuck though. Is this why you came close to me, for the sake of sex? Was that your intention from the start?" He accused her, looking deep into her eyes for an answer.

"Do you think that’s the case? That I only want you for the sex? Or is that what you hope I would tell you?" She gave him a wry smile, "Of course, you think the worst of me anyway."

With tension crackling between them, Issac was unable to answer knowing that he was guilty as charged. Even if she was half of it, it still didn’t change the fact she was Dark Fae and would be hunted down if that were to be discovered by the others.

Aldric harboring a dark Fae was a big offense considering he was the only one sanctioned by the king to live. It was too risky to get involved with Maxi. At least if she were to be discovered, he could easily deny being acquainted with her and be safe. He could not risk it for her. He barely even knew her.

After a long look, Maxi sighed and reluctantly got off him. Issac schooled his expression, refusing to show the emotions warring inside of him. This was the best decision, he told himself. He shouldn’t regret it. Yet, why did he feel panic inside of him?

Standing by the bedside, Maxi told him apologetically, "I’m sorry for making you uncomfortable with my request. I hope we remain friends after this."

She lowered her head and muttered under her breath, "I guess I’ll just disguise myself and find a Fae that would take me tonight."

Maxi barely took a step forward when someone tugged her forward and she fell onto the bed, nestled beneath him.

"Let’s have sex," Isaac said, breathing heavily as if he had run a marathon just to make that decision.

Maxi grinned.
