front of the couple, wiping the smile from his face. He knew how to work a vain woman and he put on his most charming face to coax her into helping them.
    “Keela lass, we need yer help.” He reached for her hand and clasped it between his. “A witch of yer caliber is rare. They’re aren’t verra many that can combine magic and science with yer delicate touch.”
    Stephanie wanted to gag on all the sugar pouring from Robert’s mouth. Robert didn’t need Colin, Keela was the kind of woman that would preen whenever a good looking male kissed her ass.
    Keela’s eyes gleamed as she turned her attention to Colin. “So that’s why you brought Colin along. An exchange, yes?”
    Stephanie shook her head in confusion. She didn’t know what they were talking about. She’d thought Colin came along to charm an old girlfriend.
    “Aye. We have a need fer some daisy wine. A friend of mine has been poisoned and needs an antidote,” Robert answered.
    She pulled her hand from Robert’s and walked over to a cabinet sitting in the corner. Opening the doors, she inspected the contents while tapping a long, tapered fingernail to her lips.
    Stephanie could see several bottles of different sizes and colors. She was curious as to what the different bottles held but didn’t ask. She doubted Keela would willingly share any information as Stephanie knew Keela wasn’t a girly-bonding-gossipy kind of woman. Keela was the kind of female that only wanted male friends.
    They watched as Keela took a bottle out and walked over to her ‘queenly chair’ and delicately sat down. Placing the bottle on the end of the coffee table that faced her, she looked to the men.
    Keela motioned to the bottle. “This is what you need, but as it sits now, it’s simply a nice bouquet. I need to know what kind of spell I’m counteracting and who it’s for.”
    Robert strode forward and picked up the bottle, sniffing at the cork that was stuffed into the opening, enjoying the pleasing aroma. “The spell made an old and wise dragon feel and act like a teenager.”
    Keela inhaled sharply while shaking her head. “In that case, this isn’t going to be easy.”
    Keela mumbled some archaic words while waving her hand over the bottle before looking back at Robert.
    “Take this and go to the Dragon Province and find the Dragon Lord. You’ll need his fire to activate this antidote.” Keela once again shook her head. “I don’t envy you this quest. The Dragon Lord is notoriously stubborn, like all dragons.”
    She turned and looked at Colin, one eyebrow raised. “I’ll take a few drops of your blood for payment.”
    Stephanie didn’t understand. What good was his blood? Also, she absolutely hated people who could raise one eyebrow. Whenever she tried it she looked like she was having some type of spasm.
    Colin went to her cabinet and grabbed a chalice. Reaching into his boot, he pulled out a knife and quickly made a neat slice in his palm. Holding it over the cup, he squeezed out a few drops before the wound started to close.
    Stephanie gasped in amazement at his healing abilities. She had a lot to learn.
    Colin said one word. “Here.” Holding the cup at arms length, he waited for Keela to take it.
    Keela smiled, showing perfect white teeth as she wound both hands around the cup. “Thank you Colin. I’ll use it wisely.”
    He harrumphed as he turned away. “Let’s go.”
    “Colin,” Keela whispered his name seductively. “Congratulations on your mating. And the same to you, Stephanie,” she said, turning away. “I’m sure you’ll be perfect at breeding a litter full of puppies. Your figure is just made to be a baby factory, know what I mean?”
    “You bitch!” Stephanie snarled.
    Colin pulled her back before she could go after Keela, putting her over his shoulder and practically running out to the patio and down the stairs. They heard Keela’s laughter as they fled. He didn’t put her down until they were back in the forest, far away from
