million. Someone at Fairy Godmother Inc. had done him a good turn indeed when they’d assigned Tessa’s case to him. Of course, they’d likely just wanted to pass the buck after reading her file.
    He stood and pulled his t-shirt off over his head.
    The look on her face was priceless.
    He watched her eyes wander over his body. He didn’t feel the least bit self-conscious. Not after the hours he put in at the gym every morning. It was actually nice to have his hard work appreciated.
    “Turn around.” Her voice sounded far less imperious than usual.
    He did as she bid. He knew what she was after and it wasn’t her first fairy experience between silk sheets with him. She was looking for wings.
    He was more than happy to give her an eyeful.
    ***
    Tessa drew in her breath, grateful Liam’s back was toward her and he couldn’t see her shock. She hadn’t even been sure he really had wings at all, and these certainly weren’t what she had imagined them to be. She wanted to touch them.
    She took a step closer. His shoulders and back were sculpted muscles unlike any she’d ever seen. She reached out but hesitated.
    “Go ahead,” Liam said. “They’re real.”
    Tessa gingerly laid her fingers on the base of Liam’s neck and traced along the magnificently intricate winged pattern. An electric sensation sizzled through her fingers. His skin was smooth to the touch. Was this a tattoo? No. The wings were gold against his bronzed skin. They didn’t resemble the dark, inky tattoos she’d seen on mortals.
    She stopped abruptly. What was that feeling? Energy coursed through her hands. Her magic was back. Delighted, she pulled her hands from his back and lifted her forefinger. She tapped it against her palm. Nothing. She tried harder.
    Liam turned to face her, his expression unreadable. He reached for his t-shirt and slipped it over his head and proceeded to tuck it into his Levis without taking his eyes off of her.
    “You haven’t earned back your magic, Tessa.”
    “But I felt something,” she protested. She tapped her finger impatiently against her palm. “I know I did.”
    “Chemistry perhaps, but not magic.”
    Smug bastard. Tessa longed to be anywhere other than in this gaudy little condo. She glanced at the door. What good would running do? She didn’t even know where she was. Besides, she was Contessa Von Hellengaard, and she wasn’t about to let a fairy get the better of her. She straightened her shoulders.
    “Nice tattoo.” She stepped back. “Would you like another beer?”
    But Liam was already on his way into the kitchen. She heard the refrigerator door open and the rustle of paper carry-out cartons.
    “It won’t work, you know,” he called out from the kitchen. “Fairies can’t get drunk.”
    Tessa bit her lip. Was she really that transparent? Or could he read her thoughts? Ancient spirits help her if that was true.
    “What would you like?” Liam stepped just outside of the tiny kitchen, a white box in each hand. “Shrimp Foo Young? Or Mongolian Beef?”
    “I’d like some answers.”
    “Ask me a question then.”
    She waited until he stopped rummaging through a silverware drawer. “How long are we stuck here for?”
    A microwave door shut and she listened as he punched in the warming time. He reappeared in the hallway. “What’s wrong with this place?” He looked around, his hands casually stuffed in his back pockets.
    “Are you kidding me? It’s like Barbie does Vegas here.” She shuddered. “When can we go?”
    “Well, I want lunch even if you don’t.” He gathered his plate from the microwave and seated himself at the cream rubbed wooden farm table. “We’re here until you learn your first lesson.”
    Tessa struggled to find any semblance of patience that might be lurking within her. She came up empty. “I can’t learn anything in a place like this.” She clenched her fists. “Who can think with all this pink everywhere?”
    He paused, his shrimp laden fork halfway to his
