Maxi never stopped galloping for hours, her hooves pounding relentlessly against the ground until she was certain that the general and his army were far behind and no longer in pursuit. Only then did she come to a halt, allowing Aldric and Isaac to dismount.
In the blink of an eye, Maxi transformed back into her Fae form. Immediately, Isaac took off his tunic, intending to hand it to her for cover, but before he could do so, Maxi pounced on him. The force of her jump knocked both of them to the ground, the breath rushing out of Isaac's lungs.
Isaac couldn't utter a word as Maxi began to lick his face excitedly, her tongue tracing across his features like an enthusiastic animal—which she was, technically.
"Seriously, get some clothes on, you animal!" Aldric cursed, averting his eyes as he was given an eyeful of her bare buttock.
