development. “I never realized I was tired of living out of a bag, traveling around until I had somewhere and someone to come back to. I want to share my life with you, Finbar.” His reaction was almost comical. His hand froze, holding his fork on the way to his mouth.
“Are you saying what I think you’re saying?” he asked hopefully, giving me the courage to say what came next.
“Finbar, will you do me the honor of becoming my mate for the rest of our lives?”
“Yes, my love,” he whispered, his eyes shining with joy. “I’d like nothing better than for us to be together always.” He set down his fork and scooted his chair closer. “Are you sure? This morning you wanted to wait.”
“I’m sure if you are.” It felt so right. Knowing him four days or four years… It didn’t matter because I loved him.
“How do we do this?” he asked excitedly.
“After dinner I will give you my heart and swear my soul to you while we make love,” I answered with a wink. The man nodded and practically shoveled his food into his mouth. I did the same, wanting to bind us together before either of us changed our minds.
Ten minutes later we were both nervously standing in our bedroom.
Finbar had been adamant that it was ours and I should stop calling it
    his.
“Why am I so nervous?” he whispered as he plopped down on the
bed.
“It’s a big step and maybe you’re not ready,” I said hesitantly. I
yelped as he pulled me onto his lap.
“Never think that.” He kissed my neck before pulling off my shirt. “I
love you and want you forever.”
“I feel the same,” I admitted as my cheeks heated up. We glanced
at each other and then it became a flurry of clothes flying in the air.
When we were in bed and naked, Finbar between my legs as I lay on
my back, the nerves were gone. “Take me and love me always, Finbar.
”
“Gladly,” he growled as he lifted my leg and entered me. I wrapped
my legs over his hips, my arms finding their way around his neck. “You
are so perfect, Cuidi.” I nodded and moaned as he thrust into me
tenderly but with great zeal.
“I, Cuidighteach of the Grogoch Clan of the fairies, swear myself
to you, Finbar, for the rest of my days,” I said solemnly. No one had
ever taught me the words but it was like I knew them in my very depths
as the pledge to bind us. “You own my heart and my soul is yours as is
my very life.”
“I promise the same to you.” He kissed me deeply and I felt a
surge of magic strong enough that we both cried out and came. When
it was over and we were more than spent, Finbar collapsed on top of
me. I grunted at his weight and we rolled to our sides. I knew I was
smiling like a loon. Everything was as it should be.
“Heavens above!” Finbar exclaimed as he slowly reached to touch
my cheek. I didn’t know why he looked almost scared until I moved my
hand to his chest and saw that the fur on my hand was gone. I gasped
and quickly sat up. I studied my body. My tail was gone too! “I’m human,” I whispered and leapt out of bed. I stopped in front of
the floor-length mirror and stared at the stranger standing before me.
“Holy shit!” I whimpered, not sure I wanted to see Finbar’s reaction to
the change. Gone was my brownish fur to reveal smooth, creamy skin.
I still had hair on my head but it was like a normal human’s hair. The only thing besides my height that didn’t change was my green
eyes.
“Are you okay?” Finbar asked gently as he moved behind me so I
could see him in the mirror.
“I don’t know,” I whispered as tears filled my eyes. “Do you still
want me?”
“Oh, my love,” he gasped as he pulled me back against his chest.
“I think you are just as breathtaking as you were before. Yes, you look
different, but you’re still just as sexy to me.”
“Really?” I wasn’t fishing for compliments, I swear I wasn’t. It was
just my whole world had been turned upside down in the matter of a
few moments and I wanted comfort,
