"You do know when you asked me to accompany you on a trip, I thought of a more exciting experience than this," Maxi whisper-yelled at Aldric who sat on the bare floor with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.
He looked peaceful, unlike his companion, the dark Fae horse shifter, who was seated beside him, looking aggravated and uncomfortable in the same pose.
"Are you even listening to me, Aldric?" She lifted her feet and began to jab him on his thigh, trying to get his attention, yet the winter prince remained undisturbed.
"Fine," Maxi greeted her teeth, hardened her resolve, and pulled back the sleeves of her oversized tunic she had stolen from a Fae on their way here. She then leaned towards Aldric with a mischievous grin and began to tickle him.
There was no reaction from Aldric and she increased the intensity of the tickle attack, determined to get a reaction out of him. For a moment there, Aldric's brows furrowed and her malicious grin spread further across her face.
