Down the Rabbit Hole: Alice in Shifterland

Chapter Fourteen

After a short walk through the woods, Alice found herself in front of a tidy white stone and wood cottage with a thatch roof. The wooden upper-level had been painted white with pink trim while the door was a periwinkle blue. The well-manicured lawn was lush and green and strategically placed white geraniums beckoned her to come closer.

While leading her to the threshold, Wit held her hand as if they were high school sweethearts, gently rubbing one of her fingers with his thumb. He fished a key out of his pocket before unlocking the door. "So this is my place. It might be a bit stuffy. I haven't stayed here in a while."

"It's charming." Alice looked around as Wit drew the curtains and then threw open the French-style windows, allowing the light to stream in and illuminate the room. Succumbing to her exhaustion, she collapsed on a rose-colored chaise lounge and took a few moments to catch her breath.

Wit lifted her feet before sliding beneath her legs. He caressed her toes and then moved on to massage her soles. "It's a lot to absorb...but I tried to prepare you."

Alice's eyes glassed over as she concentrated on his touch rather than his words. "Mmm. You're good at that."

"I was born to serve, and I take pride in caring for others. It's a big part of who I am."

The corners of her mouth turned up as she sat upright and reached for him. As she ran her fingers through his platinum locks, she asked, "Why don't you let me serve you?"

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Alice in Shifterland has moved to Radishfiction.com. Please download the app, and look for me there under SierraBraveRomance. Many of the chapters in season one will still be free (I have an email in to support to unlock them.) and there are offers to earn free coins and coupons. Instead of deleting all the chapters on Wattpad, I'm modifying them into teasers so we don't lose the comments.
