Rhys grinned, and I didn’t notice if people were staring as he slid an arm under my legs,and shot us both into the sky.I could learn to love it, I realized. The flying.I was reading in bed, listening to the merry chatter of the toasty birch fire across the room,when I turned the page of my book and a piece of paper fell out.I took one look at the cream stationery and the handwriting and sat up straight.On it, Rhysand had written,I might be a shameless flirt, but at least I don’t have a horrible temper. You should cometend to my wounds from our squabble in the snow. I’m bruised all over thanks to you.Something clicked against the nightstand, and a pen rolled across the polishedmahogany. Hissing, I snatched it up and scribbled:Go lick your wounds and leave me be.The paper vanished.It was gone for a while—far longer than it should have taken to write the few words thatappeared on the paper when it returned.I’d much rather you licked my wounds for me.My heart pounded, faster and faster, and a strange sort of rush went through my veins asI read the sentence again and again. A challenge.I clamped my lips shut to keep from smiling as I wrote,Lick you where, exactly?The paper vanished before I’d even completed the final mark.His reply was a long time coming. Then,Wherever you want to lick me, Feyre.I’d like to start with “Everywhere,” but I can choose, if necessary.I wrote back,Let’s hope my licking is better than yours. I remember how horrible you were at itUnder the Mountain.Lie. He’d licked away my tears when I’d been a moment away from shattering.He’d done it to keep me distracted—keep me angry. Because anger was better thanfeeling nothing; because anger and hatred were the long-lasting fuel in the endless dark ofmy despair. The same way that music had kept me from breaking.Lucien had come to patch me up a few times, but no one risked quite so much inkeeping me not only alive, but as mentally intact as I could be considering thecircumstances. Just as he’d been doing these past few weeks—taunting and teasing me to
keep the hollowness at bay. Just as he was doing now.I was under duress, his next note read. If you want, I’d be more than happy to prove youwrong. I’ve been told I’m very, very good at licking.I clenched my knees together and wrote back, Good night.A heartbeat later, his note said, Try not to moan too loudly when you dream about me. Ineed my beauty rest.I got up, chucked the letter in the burbling fire, and gave it a vulgar gesture.I could have sworn laughter rumbled down the hall.I didn’t dream about Rhys.I dreamed about the Attor, its claws on me, gripping me as I was punched. I dreamedabout its hissing laughter and foul stench.But I slept through the night. And did not wake once.
