Chapter One
Scott Baxter woke with a strange feeling something wasn’t quite right. Half asleep and with his eyes still closed, he tried to figure out what could be different. The bed seemed too soft and far more luxurious than the cheap hotel mattress he vaguely recalled crashing on the night before. A thick duvet covered him and he could feel warmth similar to the heat that usually came from another body close up against him. He couldn’t recall ever waking in a hotel with such contentment as he felt this morning.
After working nearly forty-eight hours straight, he had flown back to England on the red eye, practically sleepwalked to a taxi, then had finally fallen into bed exhausted. Long overdue for a break, he told himself he’d take one after his latest consulting project had been completed. He told himself the same thing every time, even though he knew his boss would have another job lined up for him before the final work had been finished on this one.
Morning,
a sleepy voice murmured into his ear.
Scott froze. His unexpected bedmate moved and Scott noticed he had some serious morning wood pressed against his arse.
He opened his eyes. Only his companion’s arm wrapped around Scott’s chest stopped him falling out of bed from the shock. Had the relentless pressure of his job finally caused him to snap?
The hotel room had vanished and instead he appeared to be in someone’s house. The drapes over the patio doors had been pulled back and a snow-covered garden stretched toward a frozen pond. Light snow fell from the cloudy sky. The landscape outside the doors seemed more like January than May.
Scott, are you okay?
Scott didn’t know what to say. Had he been drugged and kidnapped? And if so, why? He wasn’t anyone important and his family didn’t have the money to pay any ransom.
Ah good, you’re awake,
a second voice said. Like the first, this voice also belonged to a man, though he seemed to have a slight accent Scott couldn’t place.
Scott wondered how many men he had climbed into bed with last night, before he saw the second speaker stood at the end of the bed with his arms folded across his bare chest. With baggy silk trousers and golden metal cuffs on his wrists, he could have stepped straight out of Arabian Nights.
"What the hell is going on?" Scott shouted as he tried to untangle himself from the arms of the man sharing his bed. His companion wasn’t exactly helping him and instead seemed to be frozen in place like a statue. He poked the man with a finger. His skin felt normal, yet the other man didn’t react at all.
You’re here to fulfill a wish,
the man at end of the bed told him. I’m a djinn and I’m here to explain your present situation.
Scott stopped contemplating the statue man beside him. Excuse me?
The djinn nodded. I’m sure you’ve heard of my kind. We grant wishes to those who summon us. Well, I’m here because someone wished for you.
A headache started behind Scott’s eyes. He didn’t have time for this nonsense. I don’t believe in magic.
The djinn shrugged. Your belief isn’t necessary to my job. You have been wished for, and therefore here you are. It’s only for today, so I suggest you enjoy yourself and make the most of the opportunity. This place is certainly an improvement on the dump I found you in.
You’re out of your mind.
Scott finally managed to climb from the bed. He realized he was naked and searched for his clothes. "I’m calling a
