52 Chapter 52: Carrying a Fairy

Declan’s heart was beating fast. Not because of the exertion, but because of holding his fairy in his arms. He didn’t want to feel this way. He should be detached, but Fiona had already gotten under his skin. As if she belonged to him.

He unlocked the front door of her apartment building then carried her up the steps. She was singing the whole time. Hopefully, no one was sleeping.

He put her down to unlock her apartment door. She fell against him, but he was able to get her into the apartment and lock the door behind them. He looked around having been too busy looking at Fiona when he’d picked her up the other night. He dropped the keys on a table then picked her up again.

“Declan, you’re carrying me to bed?”

“Just to sleep.”

Not that he wouldn’t want to be with her. She was a beautiful woman. He’d never get tired of looking at her. He set her down on the bed, then went to work on her shoes. She leaned down and grabbed his hair. “I’m up here, buddy.”
