Taking a deep inhalation, she reached out and found Michael’s body and began weaving a net over him. Line by line, denser and denser, until she heard a gasp. Meadow ignored everything but keeping her net constructed and allowing her magic to drip from it onto Michael, until it was nearly a downpour.
Soon she heard moans and gasps and the usual sounds of sex. Smiling, Meadow continued keeping her magic over Michael, knowing he needed to bite Abigail as he came to fully mark her. Only then would his inner animal, as well as Abigail’s, settle and be content.
A female screamed in pleasure, followed quickly by a low groan, and then there was merely heavy breathing.
Meadow began deconstructing her net and pulling back her magic. When she was finally done, she sat and waited, not wanting to interrupt what she thought was a happy moment.
After what seemed like half an hour of murmurs, and laughter, and sighs, Michael finally spoke up. “Thank you, Miss Vale. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I have my Abby, and she’s even agreed to be my wife. We’ll thank you properly later, I promise.”
“Of course. I’ll take the side exit and leave you two alone. Come find me whenever you’re ready.”
Standing, Meadow went to the secret panel right next to the folding screen, found the latch as Laurie and Joseph had shown her, and exited into the main hallway.
As soon as she did, Laurie and Joseph rushed up to her, and she blurted, “I think it worked.”
Laurie picked her up and swung her around before kissing her. Joseph then took her face between his hands and kissed her as well. Joseph asked, “And how are you, love? Are you okay?”
She smiled as she fought back happy tears. “I-I helped them with my magic. Truly helped them.”
Laurie took one of her hands and squeezed it. “Yes, you did. You helped two shifters claim each other and avoid madness. Michael regained something he’d lost, all because of you.”
A tear trailed down her cheek, and Joseph wiped it away as she said, “Thank you, both of you. I-I never would’ve thought I could do something so meaningful for another. My father tainted how I thought about my powers. But now? There must be others who need help, but I also wonder if I can be creative for some of your members here. Maybe someday it’ll become fun for me to use my magic.”
Joseph tilted his head. “If you ever want to offer your services here, you are more than welcome. You’ll set your own rules and rates, and I’m sure people will pay them.”
“I’m not sure that I’m ready for that yet. However, Iamcurious about what I can do. With more training, both for my lust and desire powers as well as my persuasion one, I’m sure I could help Laurie with some of the event planning. I’d also bring in some money too, to help the business.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Meadow regretted it. She was assuming they wanted a future with her, forever, and they might not.
Then Joseph and Laurie went to either side of her, put an arm around her back, and then placed their foreheads to either side of her temple. Laurie spoke up. “That sounds like a perfect plan.”
Joseph added, “But we’ll go at your pace, Emmy. Whenever you’re ready and want to try using your magic at Nyx’s Kingdom, then merely say the word and we’ll try.”
She took a hand of theirs each. “Maybe I’ll have some test events first, to be doubly sure I can contain it. I think I can, as I don’t think I affected Abigail just now. But I want to be sure.”
They both kissed a cheek and then Joseph said, “We’ll figure it out. For now, we have to wait for Michael and Abigail to exit and meet with you. But after that?” His hand moved to her ass and squeezed. “I think you deserve some fun yourself.”
She giggled just as Laurie squeezed her breast. “Maybe we have enough time right now…”
Meadow lightly swatted his chest. “I’m not going to greet my first clients in this time period in a bathrobe and mussed hair. You two can wait a little while longer.” Laurie fake-pouted, and Meadow laughed. “Where are the two cool, confident businessmen I’ve seen every night so far? Surely you can put thatmask on for a little while longer. Come on, let’s go to the visitor’s parlor and set things up for Michael and Abigail.”
Laurie whispered, “If we go beneath your skirts, your hair won’t get mussed.”
She looked at Joseph. “Why aren’t you backing me up on waiting and being patient, Joseph?”
He grunted. “I’m torn, actually. Because you are so beautiful when you’re happy, and I only want to make you happier.”
Meadow fell a little more for her vampires.
But she mustered up the confidence to herd them into the parlor, and they discussed a limited event she could run after the fae witch Autumn Festival.
And all the while, she never even noticed that she hadn’t put her training bracelet back on.
Chapter Twenty
Several weeks passed, and Laurie had never been happier in his life.
He’d thought previous females had fit with him and Joseph, but those all paled in comparison to Meadow. She cared for them both, never favored one over the other, and screamed just as loud when she came regardless if it was he or Joseph inside her. She was the loudest, though, when they both took her.
