Whiskey Over Wine
→ To Ride A Country Boy: Part 1 (Read on AO3)
Pairing: Feyre x Rhys
Summary: As a bartender in the charming town of Windhaven, Feyre struggles to work under her overprotective, bad-tempered boss. The answer to her problem seems to be getting on top of him.
Read a snippet below:
“He would if you asked him nicely.”
Scoffing, Feyre leans forward until she props herself against the bar top. She hopes the proximity is enough to get the words into Cassian’s thick skull.
“The day I ask Rhys for anything nicely,” she seethes, “is the day that I realize this backwater town is literal hell.”
“You mean, you haven’t realized that yet?” The low voice isn’t Cassian’s. It sounds from behind her, unexpectedly rough at the edges but still velvety soft. Feyre doesn’t turn to face Rhys’ direction, although her spine does stiffen as he shifts towards her and continues, “And here I thought you were already packin’ your bags.”
“Those are for when I bury your dead body, and I need to skip town,” she spits back. She doesn’t let her words falter, not even as the warmth of Rhys seeps into her, his chest mere inches from her back.
But then, he tilts his head forward.
“Careful, Feyre darlin’,” he purrs, hot against the shell of her ear.
Unlike Cassian, Rhys’ accent is barely there. She tries not to cave at the subtle hint of it—an elongating of vowels here, a dropping of consonants there. Surely, she should be immune to it, after months of working together.
Yet that’s not how this thing between them works, so, of course, her knees threaten to buckle. And, of fucking course, the asshole takes note of the fact and spreads a large hand over her hip.
He tuts, “That almost sounds like a motive.”
“To kill you? If it is, you might need to start sleeping with one eye open.”
His fingers dig into the soft flesh at her hip in response to her threat. As if the prospect delights him. “You wanna come to my bedroom, and make sure that I do?”

"I'm quite over him, Lizzie. If he passed me in the street, I'd hardly notice."
Inspired by: Hellelil and Hildebrand, the Meeting on the Turret Stairs by Frederic William Burton (1864)
She'd pretend this never happened.
making up for my 2 year long reylo hiatus, I guess...

It was a lovely wedding. Except, this was someone else's wedding, someone else's bride and he was not the groom. Until he decided he should be.🤭
