realm; he could enter and exit anywhere. He just couldn’t manipulate things. The rules of magic were funny.
    “I brought a bottle of wine.”
    She chuckled. “Just like the old days.”
    “Yes, when you were four hundred and looked twelve.”
    She snickered. “Yes, I never had the heart to correct any of the elves either. As far as they knew, I was an enchanted human.”
    He sat and poured the wine.
    She served the chicken dinner, and they sat as they had in the old days.
    When they finished with the meal, they were sitting back and he cleared his throat. “I have something for you.”
    She perked up. “Yes?”
    “The dwarves put this together last minute, but I think that it will satisfy a conundrum.” He reached into his tunic and pulled out a small pouch. He handed it to her.
    She opened the drawstrings and dumped the pouch contents into her hand. The ruby from the collar gleamed in her palm.
    “The chain fits over your head, and it will shift with you. You can take the ruby off or put it on. It is your choice completely.”
    She smiled at the compromise. “Well, the humans do expect a red glowing reindeer at the front of the team, thanks to that song.”
    “They do. It also keeps us from showing up on radar and other tracking mechanisms.” He smiled.
    She placed it over her head, and it glowed brightly as if happy to be back with her.
    It settled between her breasts, and she sighed in contentment. “I was feeling a little naked.”
    “So, you like it?”
    “In this format? Yes. Thank you.” She trailed her fingers over the stone.
    “It looks content only when it is with you.” Santa smiled. “Just like me.”
    She looked at him in surprise. “You were content with Kresida.”
    “I was in love, but I knew she was mortal. We were happy, but I was never content. I could never relax because each moment with her was going to be one I could never recapture.”
    Ru walked to him and sat in his lap. “I am sorry for the worry.”
    “Don’t be. There was joy, there was laughter, but it was different. You are my equal in a way that is not possible with someone else.”
    Ru blushed. “I am powerful, but I wouldn’t say equal.”
    “Your power is different from mine, but it is no less strong. The reindeer have taken on the status of demigods. You have your own immortality beyond this realm. I would say that makes us even.”
    Ru wrinkled her nose. “You make it sound so romantic. The humans are fickle. In a matter of decades, we could be forgotten.”
    “And at that point, you will be free to live here and spend your time visiting your forest.” He cleared his throat. “Or you would be free to travel with me.”
    “Travel?”
    “In the old times, I would travel as an old man and assess the villages and villagers that I came across. Those who offered me hospitality, though they had little, were rewarded. I don’t think it is a bad idea.” He wrapped a hand around her waist.
    The firm curve of his hand sent a number of reactions through her body. Ru smiled and placed her hand on his chest. His heart was thudding under her touch.
    She leaned up to kiss him, and he met her halfway. Their subject matter may not have been romantic, but she was no longer trapped at his side. She could choose him and that was the headiest aphrodisiac ever.
    He moved his hands over her body, and she twisted against him. When his erection was thick against her thigh through the leather of his leggings, she pulled her head away.
    “You aren’t just humouring me because of the girls’ letters?”
    Santa grinned. “No, they have just reminded me of a few things that I was in danger of forgetting.”
    He stood and carried her to her bed, placing her on the covers and arranging her limbs. “I love that you wear your horns at all times here. It suits you.”
    She chuckled and waited for him to strip his clothing off. “And wearing your normal seeming suits you, but I am used to your old, fat, human seeming. I wouldn’t want
