Chapter 328: Issac’s Fiancée

What in the Fae fork was going on here? Islinda was utterly befuddled when she saw Issac and Maxi seated on the long table that could easily contain twenty guests.

Maxi?!

Why would Eli invite her to dinner? Issac was pretty much understandable – she was happy the both of them were beginning to get along. But Maxi? She was a dark Fae and the rumored Fae ghost terrorizing his staff. Why was no one cowering in fear upon seeing her? The marks on her face were pretty much obvious.... Oh.

Eli must have glamored her, the thought crossed her mind.

"Princess...." Islinda stirred from her thoughts, surprised to see Eli standing right in front of her. But when her eyes fell on him, by the gods, she forgot how to breath.

Eli’s darkish blue hair was pulled back into a low bun, making the angles of his stoic face appear sharper and predatory while remaining deliciously gorgeous. He wore an attire of white and gold, the pants and jackets fitted and taunting her with those strong muscles flexing beneath.

"You are finally here...." He called, drawing her attention and she was slightly startled upon realizing her gaze had been raking over his body slowly and heat rushed to her cheeks.

She met his sharp stare, his blue eyes hooded and darkened a shade as Eli sensed her lust. Her throat dried up, her heart beating like a galloping horse as the heat in his eyes flared like an explosion and liquid fire raced straight to her core. It was by sheer grace that Islinda was able to glue her feet on the spot and not jump him right now. It was time to control her horny impulses, Islinda put her body under subjection.

"Princess, you look dazzling," He said with a low voice while it was his turn for his heated gaze to trace over her body slowly. He was definitely returning the favor.

The tender flesh between her thighs was being tortured and her core clenched in aching need. Control yourself, Islinda chided mentally. She had thought the nerves would pose a problem, who knew it would be a mad attraction for the evil Fae intent on reducing her to her base form. Eli looked so yummy she felt this primal pull to taste him and find out how many flavors he had yet to offer. The possibility seemed endless.

As if that was not enough, the evil incarnate took her hand and kissed her palm, his warm, sensual lips sending a wild tingling such that she shuddered with the need.

She glared at him knowing he was doing this on purpose, not to mention there were people watching. Had they been alone, she would let him kiss her hand forever. So she fought the pleasure, tactically rubbing her thighs together and grateful she wore an underwear else her wetness would be trailing down her thighs right now; it was warm down there.

His sinful lips tilted up in a sensual smile when she pulled her hand back.

"What is Maxi...!" She calmed herself seeing the Fae were watching, "What is she doing over there?"

Islinda took a step closer till she was whispering into his ears and tried not to mull over how good he smelled,"Tell me you know what you’re doing right now?"

"Ahh, sorry about that," Eli whispered back into her ear and she repressed the shivers that ran down her spine, "I should have informed you that I would be inviting them, however, I wanted it to be a surprise. This is my last night in control of this body and I thought to make it extraordinary. However, if you don’t like it, I can –"

"No, don’t." Islinda stopped him, "It’s alright. It just took me by surprise, that’s all. And you’re risking...." She looked over her shoulder at Maxi who waved excitedly at her, "You know what I’m talking about."

Eli smiled, the curve of his lips enticing her to draw closer but she quickly snapped out of it.

"Just follow the flow, I’m sure this would be fun." He took her hand and intertwined it with his and Islinda stared down at the gesture, her heart missing a beat.

"Come on, the food can’t wait all night," He pulled her along and Islinda followed until she remembered something.

The drugged food.

And she nearly stumbled on the way.

"Be careful, princess," Eli did not realize her heart was beating for the wrong reasons.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Islinda did not realize Issac and Maxi’s appearance was an obstacle until now. No matter what, she can’t let them touch the Akara balls. To prevent suspicion, Rosalind said the drug would take at least an hour to kick in. In one word, she had until an hour to get Eli done with dinner and to his bed. Unfortunately, with Maxi social skills, that could take much longer.

No, she did not like this at all.

As soon as they got close to the table, Maxi stood and said to Islinda, "Hello, I’m Maxi, Issac’s fiancée."

Thanks to the gods Islinda had no water in her mouth because she would have spilled it at the horse shifter’s face right now. What does she mean by fiancée? How did she and Issac move that quickly? Also, why was she behaving as if this was the first time they’ve met?

Oh right, the glamor which made her look like a newcomer and the servants probably assumed that was the case. If only they knew she was the infamous Fae ghost. Islinda could not help but wonder what face Maxi was wearing. Either the glamor didn’t affect her because she still could see her as the normal Maxi. Not that there was anything normal about her in the first place.

"Don’t mind me," Maxi whispered into her ear when she hugged her, "Issac and I are trying to practice a bit before meeting his parents later. Just move with the flow." She kissed her cheek before letting go, leaving Islinda’s senses reeling.

What was going on here? Maxi was about to meet Issac’s parents? They progressed to that phase already? Was it a Fae thing to move this quickly in a relationship? It was confusing.
