Her uneasy gaze skittered along the length of his arms, which were exposed by his rolled-up shirtsleeves… and stopped at the astonishing sight of a design that had been inked onto his right forearm. It was a small black horse with wings. Noticing her mesmerized stare, Rohan lowered his arm to give her a better view. “An Irish symbol,” he murmured. “A nightmare horse, called a pooka.”The absurd-sounding word brought a faint smile to Daisy’s lips. “Does it wash off?” she asked hesitantly.He shook his head, his lashes half lowering over his remarkable eyes.”Is a pooka like the Pegasus of the Greek myths?” Daisy asked, flattening herself as close to the wall as possible.Rohan glanced down her body, taking a kind of leisurely inventory that no man ever had before. “No. He’s far more dangerous. He has eyes of yellow fire, a stride that clears mountains, and he speaks in a human voice as deep as a cave. At midnight, he may stop in front of your house and call out your name if he wants to take you for a ride. If you go with him, he’ll fly you across earth and oceans… and if you ever return, your life will never be the same.
