your aunt.” The deep, menacing and decidedly unfamiliar voice came from the door of the theoretical hotel room and had both Danice and Seoc jerking their heads around in surprise. A ridiculously tall, ridiculously well-muscled man stood just inside the door with one hand still poised on the knob and one hand on the hilt of a sword that was probably almost as long as Danice was tall. He had eyes greener than the color green, pointed ears, long, dark hair and a furious expression on his handsome face.
    Danicestraightened up and turned on him like the new target he was. “Oh, just what I need. Another strange man to see me naked. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to make it three in one night.” The green eyed, sword-wielding newcomer blinked at her, his glower changing to a look of confusion.
    “You’re not naked,” he pointed out, even gesturing with his sword. “You’re wearing a—is that a bed sheet?”
    “Um, she’s a little sensitive about the whole clothes, no-clothes thing,” Mac said from his immobile spot behind Danice . “I wouldn’t dwell on it, if I were you.” Danice’shead turned very slowly around until her gaze locked on Mac and made his eyes widen. “I’ll deal with you later.”
    Before she could open her mouth to say another word, Seoc leapt up from his chair to face the newcomer with a childish look of defiance.
    “I won’t go back,” Seoc said, planting his hands on his hips and putting his chin in the air. “I’m sick of the way everyone there treats me. No onesgives me any respect, and I’m tired of it. I’d rather stay in Ithir . At least the humans don’t try and tell me what to do.”
    “That’s not an option,” tall, dark and well-armed said. “The Queen sent me to fetch you—again—and that’s what’s going to happen. If you don’t like it, you can take it up with your aunt.” Seoc’sdefiant pose crumbled, and he stomped his foot and whined like a three-year-old. “But she never listens! Last time you brought me back to her, she confined me to Faerie for months! I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere interestingor do anything fun.”
    The other fae’s eyes narrowed, but he sheathed his sword, which made Danice relax a little. “You’ll be lucky she doesn’t make it years this time,” he said. “But if you try and run now, I’ll only come after you.
    And when I find you, I’ll make sure the Queen feels even less charity toward you than she does right now.”

    Danicecould almost see that warning sink in to Seoc’s thick skull. She watched his face sour, hisposture relax and his shoulders sink before he shuffled reluctantly forward until he stood next toDanger Man.
    “Fine,” he pouted. “If that’s the way you’re going to be, then let’s just get it over with.” The stranger grunted and put his hand on Seoc’s shoulder to steer him toward the door.
    “Hey! Are you forgetting about something?” Mac called, sounding seriously peeved. Not that Danice could blame him. If someone had paralyzed her for a good ten minutes, she’d probably be pretty anxious to get back to normal, too.
    Seoclooked back at them and frowned. “Oh, right. Sorry about that. The spell holding you here will expire in a couple of hours, and you’ll be back in the human’s apartment. The halt spell I can do now.” He snapped his fingers, shot the stranger one last disgruntled glance and they both left. Not through the door, because that would have been much too normal for the day Danice had been having. They walked up to the door, paused, and then just disappeared.

Chapter Six
    Danicewas still staring at the spot where they had been standing when she felt a pair of newly familiar hands settle on her shoulders.
    “So, uh, are you still mad at me?”
    “I haven’t decided.” Shrugging off his hands, she gathered up the trailing ends of her sheet and headed toward the
