“Danielle, Monroe, there’s someone I’d like you both to meet!” Lacey calls from the group of her packmates.

It has been a couple of months since we destroyed the fragment of Willow’s heart, and Sawyer is throwing an alliance party—to my surprise, all the witches have actually shown up.

“Coming!” I call with Monroe’s arm linked into mine. “Man, I can’t wait to have one of those mocktail drinks.”

On the table near where Lacey and the others are gathered, there’s a whole line of pink drinks (I’ve been promised one without alcohol) topped with edible glitter and pink candy floss.

I can tell that Lacey planned the catering for this one.

“I’m not gonna drink,” Monroe says.

“Not even a mocktail one?”

“Ugh, no—sugar.”

Monroe is officially back on her feet and has moved back into the coven after spending around a month with me and Ellis. Unfortunately, her magic still hasn’t come through.

At the moment, she has it in her head that if she stays healthy, maybe it will. She also says she’s trying to ward off ‘evil energy’ by keeping her body pure.

To me, it makes no sense, but I’m just happy she’s feeling better than she was before.

“I’m craving sugar,” I say, as we reach Lacey and the others. “Like every second.”

“Hey, baby,” Ellis murmurs, kissing me on the cheek.

“Hey.”

Ellis looks at Monroe. “What, Monroe, no reaction?”

She laughs. “Hey, I’ve lived with you both for a month now, I’ve seen it all.”

“Guys,” Lacey says, a cup of the pink drink in hand. “I want you to meet Tara.”

Sitting next to Lacey is a striking woman with long black hair, pale skin, and hazel eyes. She smiles at me, and if I didn’t know any better, I’d say she’s...

“She’s human,” Lacey adds. “She’s going to be staying with us for a while.”

“Oh, my goodness!” I exclaim. “Hey, human, nice to meet you, I’m Danielle.”

“Hi, Danielle,” she smiles softly.

Monroe chimes in. “I’m Monroe. Nice to meet you. What brings you to the pack of wolves?”

She laughs. “Nice to meet you. I’m a friend of Lacey’s; we’ve known each other for a little while, and she was kind enough to let me come here.”

I look at Lacey, puzzled.

“We made friends when I moved to the coven,” she explains. “Given that she was human, I didn’t want to say anything in case it got me into trouble. But now things are doing a little better in the valley, well, it seemed like the perfect time to have Tara come stay.”

I don’t ask why Tara would want to come stay, or why she would need to—although I am curious—it doesn’t feel like good party talk.

“Well,” I smile. “A friend of Lacey’s is a friend of ours.”

“Just FYI,” Monroe adds. “The coven is much cooler than this.”

Sawyer scoffs. “But we throw better parties.”

“To be fair,” Ellis butts in. “We wouldn’t know that, as we’ve never been invited to one.”

“Yes, well, female-only, I’m afraid,” Lacey says. “Unless that’s changed?”

“Female-only,” Penelope sings, walking by us with a pink cocktail in hand.

There’s a pause before we all laugh. Somehow, Penelope always manages to sneak in at the right place and time.

“I’m having what she’s having,” I say, before slinking off toward the table of sugary goodness. “You’ll get used to things here, Tara. I promise we can be normal.”

Once I’m by the table, I feel Ellis creeping up behind me. His arms are around my waist, and I sink into him.

“I’ve missed you,” he murmurs into my ear.

My whole body is on fire. Since Monroe has left and we have had the cabin to ourselves again, we’ve been insatiable.

Ellis says we’re making up for lost time. All I know is that I want him, and no matter how many times we make love, it will never be enough.

“I’ve missed you, too,” I say. “But if you keep touching me like this, I’ll wanna go back with you now, and we need to stay.”

He moves his hands to my stomach, kisses the side of my neck, and I feel light sparks tracing their way through my body.

I close my eyes.

“I know, I know,” he responds. “We can’t keep leaving things early. It looks bad, but you smell so good.”

I sigh, pressing my ass against him.

“Let’s talk about something not sexy, like how did the council meeting go today?”

He pauses and loosens his grip a little.

“There are still some dead patches of land in the forest, and a couple of days ago, someone in Jasper’s pack reported a sighting of a shadow monster.”

“Oh, my goodness,” I exclaim, “were they okay?”

“They were fine,” he tells me. “Apparently, the monster was in hiding, so whatever is going to happen isn’t happening yet.”

I nod, turning around to face him.

Those eyes.

We stare at each other for a long moment.

“Did that work?” I ask him.

“Nope. Still want you. Work for you?”

I shake my head.

Ellis takes my hand, and we’re just about to leave when Monroe and the rest of our group come over.

“It’s time for dancing,” Lacey sings, pulling me away.

Sawyer, Jasper, and Greg take Ellis off, and we both gaze at each other as we’re pulled apart.

A couple of hours later, we’re on the dance floor. I’m grinding against him, swaying to the beat of the song.

“Come on,” he murmurs into my ear.

It’s nighttime, and we sneak out into the forest.

I giggle. “But we didn’t say goodbye.”

“We’ll be back,” he says.

I’m not sure that we will.

Once we’re back in our cabin, it’s seconds before Ellis has me pinned against the kitchen wall.

He’s kissing my neck. “Fuck, Danielle. It’s like torture looking at you and not being able to touch you.”

“You can touch me,” I giggle.

“Not like this,” he murmurs.

He traces two fingers up my inner thigh, and I gasp.

Then he slips them inside my panties, over my moist slit.

The pleasure rocks me, almost causing my knees to buckle.

“I like that,” I whimper.

Then he kisses my lips, and we connect in a way that shakes my whole body. Ellis kissing me will never not make me feel like I’m hurtling through space.

I moan against his lips as he works his way around my clit. He’s teasing me, bringing me to the edge, and then he stops.

He looks at me with a slight grin. “You have no idea how much I love you,” he says.

“Come here,” I murmur.

I kiss him again, resting my hand over his cock, feeling up and down his rock-hard length above his jeans.

“Fuck, Danielle,” he groans.

I want to please him so much.

I unbuckle his pants and drop to my knees, taking him in and out of my mouth. His warm cock slides down my tongue with ease, sending a deep wave of pleasure through my pussy.

The sound of his groans, the feeling of his fingers stroking through my hair make me moan as I suck him..

I’m so hungry for him. Frantic.

Then he takes me, lifts me up, and bends me over. He wastes no time before entering me with his cock.

“Yes,” I whisper, steadying myself against our kitchen wall. The pleasure rocking through me is insatiable.

“Shit,” he hisses.

It only takes a couple of pumps until I’m screaming, the pleasure inside me cascading out of control as a familiar tingling feeling traces around my chest.

“That’s right,” he says, caressing my breasts in his hands.

“I love you,” I whimper as I come hard over his length. My orgasm spreads through my body, and I ache so pleasurably against his touch.

“Fuck, I love you,” he says again.

It takes me a while to come down from the pleasure; my magic is pulsating out of control, fizzing through my bloodstream with force.

I’m panting, steadying my breath.

Then Ellis groans.

He pumps one last time before filling me with his seed.

“I’m going to spend the rest of my life with you,” he tells me, stroking my weakened body.

I smile, relishing the feel of him inside me. “We have so much time to make up for,” I say.

“Who’s fault is that?” He teases, breathless.

“Oh shut up, and get me some tissues, will you?”

He laughs, pulling himself out of me and giving my ass a playful slap.

“Tissues coming up.”
