You’re not even of pure blood. You might as well be human!”
    “Hey!” Danice snapped. She might be in way over her head, but that didn’t mean she didn’t deserve a little respect, damn it!
    “Sorry,” Seoc mumbled. “It just gets me so upset. Imagine how you’d feel in my position. Every time you turn around, someone is there, just waiting for you to make a mistake so they can say, ‘I told you so.’”
    “Have you tried not making any mistakes?”
    Daniceglared at her petrified lover. “Mac, everybody makes mistakes. Be fair.”
    “Exactly!” Seoccried, bursting into a grin so charming, Danice felt her own mouth begin to curve. “Is it any wonder I wanted to give you something special? I knew as soon as I saw you that you were the sort of human who might be able to understand things greater than yourself and your humdrum little human life. That’s why I offered to give you your fantasies.” The smile slowly morphed into an expression so opposite that she even saw Mac’s eyes widen in the periphery of her vision. “That’s what this is about?” she asked carefully. “You used some sort of freaky magic power to whisk me out of my apartment and strand me in limbo in bed with a man I’ve never met and who could have turned out to be a rapist or a serial killer or something, and you think you did it because you liked me?As a favor to me?” She could feel herself shaking with the power of her anger.
    “Are you out of your teeny, tiny little faerie mind?” And he even had the nerve to look shocked. “What? How can you say things like that?” he asked, practically whining. “I saw your fantasy when I was sitting next to you in the bar. You wanted a lover just like McIntyre. All I did was make your dreams come true. You should be thanking me!” She drew a deep breath and waited for her rage to dull. It didn’t, so she took a menacing step forward.
    “The day I thank you will be several lifetimes after I rip your entrails out of your stomach and use them to tell the future. You are beyond stupid. How dare you presume to poke uninvited into my mind!” Seocpaled and drew back a hair. “But I gave you your fantasy!”
    “No, you played an irresponsible game with my safety and my psyche, you nasty little imp.” She heard Mac’s low whistle. “Ooh, that’s low, baby. Imps are second-class citizens in Faerie.
    Actually, they aren’t even that well liked. They’re more like slug slime.” She smiled grimly. “Good. Then I made a fitting analogy.” She took another step forward. “You know nothing about humans, except for your own prejudiced opinions about us, and you presume to tell me you were giving me a gift? What if I never wanted that fantasy fulfilled? What if you read mewrong, and I had actually been thinking of something I found personally distasteful? What about that, huh? Would you have cared? Would you have even noticed?”
    Seocopen his mouth to protest, but she never let him speak.
    “You are the most morally reprehensible person it has ever been my misfortune to meet,” she hissed, Page 15

    leaning forward until her braids fell over her shoulders and almost brushed against the hands he had clenched on the arms of his chair. “I ought to use my amusing little human mind to devise a fitting punishment for you, but I’m afraid the only ones I can thinkof now involve a lot of pain and bloodshed, and I have a delicate stomach!”
    The fae’s eyes had gone wide as dinner plates as he squeaked out a protest. “If you try and harm me, I’ll freeze you just like I did the changeling. O-o-o-or I’ll t-turn you into a…into a toad.”
    “Go ahead,” she said, her lips curving in a snarl. “At least that way you’d have a kindred spirit around.” He lifted his trembling hand and Danice braced herself.
    “ Seoc!Try it, and I’ll take a few minutes to beat you senseless before I bring you back to
