wrinkled his nose. “They cover my favourite parts of you, but they look comfortable.”
    She wandered up to his side of the bed. “I know what I look like. Flattery is not necessary.”
    He sat up with his eyes glowing. “It isn’t flattery. The moment I saw you, everything I thought I wanted was gone. You are the only woman I can think of.”
    “Infatuation?” Her tone was hopeful and she knew it.
    He got to his feet and walked over to her, putting his hands on her hips and pulling her toward him. “I have lived long enough to know that infatuation, lust and momentary interest are nothing compared to what I feel for you.”
    She twisted her lips. “I haven’t got that kind of experience.”
    He rubbed her sweats on her back, and he leaned down to whisper in her ear. “That comes with time. Now, can I interest you in going out for dinner?”
    Her stomach answered for her with a rumble. “I guess that is a yes. I don’t want to wear my work clothes, but I don’t have much else.”
    “You brush your hair and I will take a shower. When you are ready, I will be out and dressed. We will stop at the general store and you can pick something out.”
    She wrinkled her nose. “I hate shopping for useless clothing.”
    “Anything you purchase will be paid for by the fey coalition. Consider it an inducement to spend freely.”
    She grimaced. “I just want to have some clothing to shift into that doesn’t involve it being cut off of me.”
    “I imagine getting trapped as you shift would be uncomfortable.”
    His voice took on a soft singsong. “If you bond with me, you will get my ability to move your clothing out of the way in an instant.”
    Hayley blinked and leaned back, staring at him with narrowed eyes. “Is that an inducement?”
    “It is a promise.”
    She clued in to his other statement. “Wait, does that mean you can shape shift?”
    He smiled and shrugged. “All the fey put here for the shifters have access to another form.”
    “What are you?”
    “A red kite.”
    She nodded and then shook her head. “I don’t know what that is.”
    He grinned. “I am a bird similar to your own red-tailed hawk. I am just a bit bigger.”
    “Oh. So, you could teach me how to fly.”
    “It seems your beasts know how to fly, they just lack the muscle memory to do the job. That will come easily.”
    His hands ran over her back, and he flattened them on her shoulder blades. “You have two flying forms, so your power will come from your shoulders and your chest. Your balance comes from your lower back and buttocks.”
    She glanced down at the swell of her breasts under the fabric. “I don’t know if there is room in there for a lot of muscle.”
    He followed her gaze. “I think there might be a bit of room, but you are wonderfully curved at all angles.”
    Hayley blushed. “It isn’t usual for shifters. I know.”
    “I love it. Every inch of you is welcoming and lush.” He leaned in and kissed her neck.
    Her blush could have started a forest fire.
    His kiss moved up her neck, and he settled on her lips. She put her hand on his arm, and she leaned into him. She dragged her hand over his shoulder and into his hair.
    The kiss deepened, his hands moved up her back, dragging her sweatshirt, and his warm hands contacted her skin. His hands took up most of her back. As the kiss deepened, his hands changed direction until they were cupping the globes of her butt to pull her against him.
    She was trying to read him while he kissed her, but it was impossible. He was too close and she was too distracted.
    Instinct. Let your instinct guide you.
    She pulled away from him and gasped. “Enough.”
    He slowly set her back on her feet. “Whatever you like.”
    He pulled his hands out of her sweats with reluctance. “Your skin is like silk.”
    She placed her hands on his chest and pushed back. “I know. Since no one else is allowed near me, I have gone exploring a time or two. I know my human body inside and out.”
    His
