Kiss Me Quick

Megan Derr

If Reyes saw one. More. Flower. He was going to start killing

people. Huffing out an irritated breath, he gingerly made his

way through the veritable forest of flowers that filled his office,

their combined scents strong enough to start a headache

buzzing.

There was nothing quite as aggravating as the Days of

Devotion, and if Reyes knew a way to go back in time to murder

the King and Queen who had started the ridiculous three-day-

long tradition of giving flowers and other gifts to loved ones, he

would do so gladly.

As near as he could tell, 'devotion' was just another word

for 'attempt to suck up to the king'. As if it were that easy to do.

Reyes sneered at a particularly opulent arrangement of white

and yellow roses, unimpressed by the bracelet twined around

the gold ribbon securing them.

More bouquets than he could count filled the office, having

delivered steadily throughout the day. Some simply had names

on the tags, some had 'charming' little notes, still others bore

poetry that made Reyes feel very sorry for the poet.

He carefully pushed aside a dark blue vase holding yellow

orchids and a tall stand holding a truly repulsive number of

lilies. Did no one understand subtlety? Finally reaching his desk,

Reyes cleared it of the half-dozen vases of flowers piled on it,

and then sat down with another sigh. He pulled off his glasses

and rubbed at his eyes, wishing he could just retreat for the day

and go hide somewhere.

But a holiday did not mean the work stopped, even if it

meant everyone tried to pretend otherwise. Rhoten would be

mired in meetings and dinners and other celebratory affairs all

day long and well into the night—far longer than anyone should

force Rhoten to stay up, but hopefully Sharla and Dilane would

take care of that.
