Within the few seconds Islinda stood outside the door, she took a deep breath and mentally braced herself for what was about to happen.
Hence, as soon as the doors were opened, Islinda stepped in and was about to flip out only to do a double take when she spotted Aldric.
Holy gods, he was handsome.
Islinda watched him with her jaw almost dropping to the ground because, by the gods, the Fae cleaned up really well. In the human realm, Aldric would have passed for a bandit with his unruly blackish-blue hair, but right now, he almost looked like a…. Prince?
Aldric was wearing black well cut pants and a white silk blouse beneath a long scarlet jacket trimmed around the edges and buttoned with silver. Black boots reached to his knees with buckles to match and his hair was pulled into a low bun, a few tendrils framing his slender face.
