He got up and walked over to the dresser where an assortment of baked goods were stacked on a silver tray. Next to that was a silver urn with steam coming out of the top, and he poured me a mug of the hot liquid.
โMy love, I present you with the best coffee in the Fae world.โ He handed me the mug and I took a sip.
โWow!โ I said. โThis looks black, but it tastes...โ I took another sip. โYes, it tastes like vanilla, caramel, andโฆ is that cinnamon?โ
Vincent shrugged. โIt tastes different to everyone. Itโs supposed to mimic your favorite flavors in coffee.โ
โWhat does it taste like to you?โ
โBlood and chocolate.โ
I closed my eyes. "I must be really tired because I think I'd drink this even if it tasted like that!" I drank again, grateful that it didn't. I drank again, and then looked at the cup. "Uh, I've drunk half a cup, but it still looks full."
โOh, thatโs because it wonโt run out until youโve had enough.โ He said, stepping away.
I looked at my drink. โThis is the coolest thing ever.โ I said, completely serious.
โSo, did you have fun last night?โ Vincent asked, carrying the tray of pastries over.
โYeah, but not as much fun as Evie and Raina had.โ I replied, plucking a square pastry off of the top of the stack.
โAh, did they catch a ride on the orgasm express?โ
โAnd then some.โ
โAll Fae love sex. Some are just a little freer with it than others."
โYou could say that again!โ I took a bite, and the pastry tasted like a chocolate tart. โIs this magickal too?โ I asked, holding it up.
Vincent nodded. โThey think itโs the best way to keep guests happy, to make the food really good.โ
At least itโs not all sex! I thought. โSo, did Jack ever arrive?โ
โLate last night.โ Vincent sat on the edge of the bed. โWe can go find them after breakfast.โ
I looked at my still-full coffee cup. As long as Iโm not too wired!

We found Jack sitting outside of a multicolored house just a couple of street-like paths away from our accommodations. Every building looks alike, yet completely different I mused to myself. I felt like I could get lost there, yet never get too lost.
Jack waved us over, and I sat next to him. A silver pot of magick Fae coffee sat on the small table between us.
โCoffee?โ he asked, holding a mug up.
โOh no," I said, my hand raised, "I've drunk a gallon, I think."
โIf only they could do this with Mountain Dew.โ he said wistfully.
Hatsu stuck her head out of the door of the house. โOh good, Vincent!โ she said.
โYes?โ
โMay I speak with you for a moment?โ
Vincent went inside with her, and I leaned in to speak quietly with my friend.
โSo, howโs it going with you and Katsu?โ I asked with a grin.
โItโsโฆ going.โ he replied, nodding. โGoing quite well.โ
I shook my head. "Really, dude? You don't date for two years and then hook up with a five thousand-year-old mystical being?"
โUm, what about you?โ he retorted, eyebrows raised. โYou practically never dated anyone, and now youโre banging someone thatโs not only centuries old, but also isnโt even human!โ
โTouche.โ I surrendered, hands raised. โSo what took you so long?โ
Jack squirmed slightly in his seat. โYeah, well, you werenโt the only person with questions about my intentions.โ he said. โSeems that her big Sis also wanted to have a sit-down with me.โ
โScary.โ I said, eyes slightly wide.
โYou're not kidding!" he agreed. "But it wasn't so bad. She just wanted to make sure that I really liked her, not just..."
โNot just looking to get laid?โ I finished.
โExactly!โ
I grinned. โYou know, if you werenโt attached, youโd be swimming in Fae sex right now.โ
He stopped and looked at me. โSeriously?โ
โSeriously.โ
โSo the things that Hatsu said about Fae orgies?โ
โTotally real.โ
โDamn." He smiled. "It's a good thing that I like her."
I smiled, and then saw Vincent emerge from the house alone. He took another seat by the table, a chair that appeared as he needed it.
โSo, dude...โ he said, looking at Jack, โyou already got the โdonโt break the heart of my little sister or elseโ talk from Hatsu?โ
Jack swallowed. โYeah. Something tells me that I should take her seriously.โ
โYou should." Vincent couldn't keep the amusement from his voice. "These supernatural types have seen too much bullshit to ever 'hope for the best'. They find that it's more effective to threaten evisceration and depend on an individual's self-preservation instincts to kick in."
โGreat.โ Jackโs voice told me it was anything but.
โSo I assume that Hatsu wanted to talk to you about things other than her scary face.โ I said, moving on.
Vincentโs face grew more serious. โShe did. It seems that her friends in the paranormal underworld have been noticing a lot of โmovementโ on the less traveled pathways.โ
โMovement?โ I asked. โWhat does she mean by movement?โ
โWays of traveling that arenโt used that often, either because of difficulty or danger, are becoming more active.โ he explained. โWhoeverโs behind it is powerful, too. To not only travel these paths, but to also cloak their identity from Hatsuโs friendsโฆ who, I should remind you, are some powerful fuckersโฆ itโs kind of concerning.โ
โWhatโs going on?โ I asked, baffled. โDo you think that itโs connected to the attacks on me?โ
Jack and Vincent exchanged glances, ironic grins and chuckles shared between them.
โShould I tell her?โ Vincent asked.
โNah, let me.โ Jack answered. โIโve known her longer.โ
โWhat?โ I was seriously confused.
โAnnabelle, darling.โ Jack said, looking at me. โYouโre the Sorceress. There hasnโt been a Sorceress for over a century. There are millennia-old creatures that
