Its a kegger in the woods! Tam tells Fey to stay inside and lock the doors. Silly girl is like… But I didn’t get to eat dinner. Like girl go to the kitchen there is plenty there cause guess what at 2 am she eats a whole ass loaf of bread an apple and a lemon tart! Fake problems! Fey breaks the rules and heads to Fae kegger in the woods. As per usual she finds trouble abut then 🚩 saviour time with a new player entering the game. This dude is seemingly badass and dressed all in black? (designer Fae? did you wear? Yes, the Gucci boots!) No name but girl was hot to trot as they say… or they did say. Whatever. She gets dragged back to the manor by Lumière err Lucien and he tells her more about sexy magic fire Great Rite Nite. (mental note, make a shirt that says… “I survived the Great Rite & all I got was this lousy shirt”) Later a midnight snack turns into a midnight SNACK. When Tam still high on Rite night well you know what happens. Why am I telling you. He straight up bites her and pins her down (this is me still telling you) and shes into it. but also how dare he? No consent? But she loves it? doesn’t love it? He cant control himself (blames the magic) Ya’ll should have just set some ground rules. Like just define what in play. Over clothes? Under? How do you feel about biting? Etc… Get 👏 on 👏 the 👏 the 👏 same 👏 PAGE 👏 Then have some fun you crazy kids!
Next morning Tam and Luc (lucien) are Fae drunk of sexy time and Fey is showing off her war wounds. What a girl (get a lode of this one)… Tam apologizes for being a Beast and Fey is like you should be ashamed (tucks hair behind ear) but I hated it *inner monologs but I loved it and I felt warm in between my legs while my face flushed with anticipation of a future encounter. Tonight I’ll leave my bedroom unlocked and pray to the mother for his arrival! Then out of nowhere a whiplash event she gets dressed up for date night? shows off some paintings and Tam the ever so sly fucker 🚩 whips out some sob story about caring for his people and picks the most depressing of the paintings. You mother fucker. Red flag game strong. Tam… Strong… Lastly, and heres the kicker more lounging in a field. I swear some enterprising author should write Chapter 23-b and just go wild. I’m sure AO3 is full of fan-fic of what really happened in that grassy field under the willow tree. 🍆 ✨ But I guess Tam shows Fey what the world REALLY looks like. (I FUCKING KNEW IT) in trade for a kiss. Thats how they get you folks! How did we end up like this? It was only a kiss… IT WAS ONLY A KISS Anyway. Turns out everything was Glamoured all along. tonnes of servants. Fey looked like a damn fool sneaking around when there were people around the whole time. lolz. I’m 51% this book now. and now there is 51% more characters roaming around the manor. So I’m sure there is a whole cast of characters now that the larger glamour is off.
Hunches: I’m still trying to figure out Tam’s place in all of this. I’m def sure his dad is somebody important. and Fey is going to somehow help in fixing this magic situation cause shocker shes some kind of chosen one? I dunno. Her mom or useless dad was somebody special? and mayhaps multiple High Fae are all trying to steal her to win? who knows. Maybe she can have some special human Fae baby? cool? I dunno. its good fun.
