people who actually have amber eyes. I hope they don't spook you?” He grinned down at her. His smile was open and friendly putting her at ease.
    She shook her head, strands of her hair falling loose around her face. “No. I’ve heard of that. They’re stunningly beautiful. You look like...a handsome wolf.” Ragen felt her face warming. Had she really said that?
    He grinned. “You think so? You like wolves?”
    She looked down, inhaling deeply to get herself together, then returned her eyes to his.  They were enthralling, holding her attention like a magnet. She could not look away.  “I do. I'm a vet. I did an internship at a local zoo working with the wolves. I still volunteer there at times. Wolves are beautiful animals. Majestic, intelligent, fierce. They are fascinating and have captivating eyes like yours.”
    “I see.” He grinned. “And I remind you of them?” He cocked his head to the side as he regarded her.
    “ In a way, you do.” She gave him her brightest smile.
    He looked down at her, an almost predatory gleam in his eyes. “And I'm sure the wolves like you too.” He reached out and dragged his fingers down a loose strand of her hair. “You and your deep red hair. It’s stunning.”
    Ragen shivered, her heart racing with anticipation. He reached for her. “Are you cold?” His thumb caressed the back of her hand. “You’re shivering.”
    “ I’m a bit chilly.” She shivered again.
    He pulled her closer, gathering her body under his arm as they walked. “Warmer now?”
    She nodded. Another lock of her hair fell forward into her face and he tucked it behind her ear.
    “ Your hair is such a lovely hue. Is it naturally red? I’m guessing that’s a fair question?”
    She nodded chuckling. “Yes, it is fair and yes it is my color. It runs in my family.”
    “So unique. You look like a Faery queen.” 
    She laughed. “Have you ever seen a Faery queen?” 
    “I have, and you’re the spitting image of the fair Goddess Branwen.”
    “ The Celtic Goddess of love and beauty?”
    “ Yes, I’m impressed you know who she is.”
    She shrugged. “I’ve always had an interest in faeries and such.” She smiled, and their eyes met again just as they reached the front of the medical office building.
    ”Well, Ms...?
    “ Kerrigan. Regan Kerrigan.”
    He placed his hand on his chest. “Liam O’Neill, and it's been a pleasure Miss Kerrigan. I sure am glad I was outside my club getting some fresh air when you hollered for help.” 
    “I’m glad you were too, Liam.” Again, impetuousness took over, and she reached up and hugged him. “And thanks for the lovely compliment too.”  She kissed him on his cheek, her lips lingering a few moments longer than she meant to. When she stepped back, she noticed his unusual eyes seemed to gleam. She blinked a few times, thinking her eyes deceived her.
    He grinned. “I’m just happy to have rescued such a fair maiden.” He leaned down and kissed her cheek. Can I see you inside to your event?” He nodded toward the door at her back.
    “Yes, that would be wonderful.” She nodded. “But please, call me Ragen.
    He pulled back the door, letting her enter ahead of him and following her inside. The building was older, probably built in the thirties. It had a large lobby with red carpeting. Ornate lighting fixtures hung on the walls.
    She let out an exhale. “I guess I'm really late now.”
    “ Better late than never after the night you've had.”
    She hesitated as they entered, gazing down at herself. “How do I look?”
    “Looking for more compliments so soon?” He gave her one of his dazzling smiles. As confident as Ragen typically was, she felt like an ugly duckling next to this perfect male specimen.
    She grinned. “No, I just don’t want to scare Patty. She’s speaking. If she sees me looking like I’ve been assaulted, she’ll panic.”
    “Especially with an unknown man next to you, huh? I’ll try to look less intimidating.” His
