Andrew yelled out, he knew she wasn’t going to
listen.
    Andrew watched in utter horror as
Margaid unsnapped the poor man’s jeans, yanked down his zipper, and
slid his pants all the way to his ankles.
    “ Damn, I’m glad he’s
wearing underwear.” Black boxers with writing all over them. “What
does that say?” Andrew read aloud, “B is for big.”
    “ You don’t say?” Margaid
flashed a sheepish grin at the fairly respectable bulge underneath
the man’s boxers.
    Andrew held his palm up in a stop
gesture. “I’m warning you, don’t touch his underwear.”
    “ But don’t you need a dry
pair?”
    Andrew shook his head. “I don’t wear
them.”
    The man gasped. Fear glittered in his
eyes. “Please don’t touch me. You can have my clothes.
Okay?”
    “ I don’t want your clothes.
I’m not going to hurt you or touch you. Margaid misunderstood.
She’s not quite right.” Andrew whipped his head toward her. “Give
him his clothes.”
    “ No, no, it’s okay. I don’t
know what’s going on here. But I’m going to leave. Keep the
clothes.” The man bolted down the street at a breakneck
pace.
    “ You’re lucky he didn’t
call the cops on you.” He shook his head at Margaid.
    “ He’s not going to call the
police on me.” She cupped the side of her face. “He might on
you.”
    “ What? You sound like him.
He blamed me instead of you. He let you take his clothes off him
just because you’re a woman.”
    “ That’s not it.” Her tone
was curt, as if she was losing her patience. “He can’t see or hear
me. No one can, except you, because I’m your slave.”
    “ That’s nuts. I can’t
believe you stole the guy’s clothes.”
    She leaned her head down and rubbed
her forehead. “I thought you needed them.”
    “ No, not like that.” She
looked so downcast and confused. “Look, it’s okay, don’t cry.” He
pointed to the jeans Margaid still held.
    “ He’s gone, so I might as
well put those on. At least you didn’t take his B is for Big
shorts.” As crazy as the whole thing was, Andrew couldn’t help but
laugh. “He can keep those.”
    Margaid chortled along with him. “I
wonder if he can live up to the claim.”
    “ I’m glad you didn’t insist
on finding out.”
    “ I’m your slave now. I
follow your commands. When you say stop, I have to
stop.”
    “ Really? I recall having to
yell stop several times before you actually did.”
    “ Well, my obey-my-master
skills may be a little rusty.”
    “ Oh, a little.” Despite the
fact that he didn’t believe anything she told him, he was having a
lot of fun with this girl. “How many masters have you
had?”
    “ You are the
first.”
    “ Ah, so you were able to
seduce your other victims with no problem.”
    “ No, in my whole life I
never tried to seduce a man and drain his blood before. You’re my
first human. All my male friends have been fey.”
    “ Oh, and you saw me and
thought it would be fine to drain my blood?”
    “ No, it wasn’t because of
you. I decided I had to be a proper lhiannan shee . Once I went hunting for
a victim, I picked you because you were there and caught my eye.
Blonde, tall, muscular, once I spotted you I couldn’t look at
anyone else. What made me finally try to do what my kind are
supposed to do was Mannan beg mac y Leir’s threats to turn me into
a water horse.”
    “ Can he really do
that?”
    “ Oh yes. He is skilled at
changing people, and himself, into other things. He’s the god of
transformation.”
    “ I thought he was the god
of the sea.”
    “ He’s the god of
transformation, the sea god and the trickster god.”
    “ I should have known he was
a trickster god. Because based on what I’ve heard of him so far, he
seems like a jester or a fool.”
    After a quick intake of breath,
Margaid warned, “You must not criticize the gods. It’s not wise.
Not at all.”
    “ Well this is the guy or
god who wanted you to drain my blood, I’m sure I’m entitled to make
a negative
