I buckled up, slamming into her. Her mouth dropped open, and she cried out. “Oh god!” Her body convulsed as it tightened even more. I came hard, pumping myself hard into her as my release came.

Chapter 18 - Aubrey

Klaus slipped out of bed and kissed my head. “I’m going to go start breakfast.”

I sank against his kiss, feeling like things were so different. In truth, so much was different. I was finally free. I didn’t need to look over my shoulder for Mike. He was gone. I could breathe.

“You’re going to make breakfast? The man who isn’t a morning person?” I teased.

He smirked, giving me a cocky smile. “Don’t get used to it.”

I pulled the pillow closer. “But maybe I will.”

He leaned down, his scent masking over me. “If I’m going to start getting up early, I’m going to want something in return.” I could see the twinkle in his eyes.

I raised an eyebrow. “Like me doing your laundry?”

He chuckled. “I’m not talking about laundry, Aubrey.” He kissed me once more. “I’m going now.”

I sank back into the sheets, watching him walk away. I lay there for a moment, letting myself feel this contentment. I could hear the coffee maker brewing and Klaus moving around in the kitchen.

I smiled, wondering if this would last. I felt something shift inside, like a wall had finally fallen. I felt a tingle run through my body, as if something were pumping through my blood. I looked down at my fingers and watched as they glowed for a moment.

My heart stopped beating as I realized what it was. It was my magic. I had magic.

“Oh my god,” I whispered, rubbing my fingers together. “Oh my god!”

I threw the covers off and hurried down the hallway. I nearly stumbled down the stairs as I skipped a few steps. “Klaus!”

He stood in the kitchen, his head snapping toward me. I could see worry in his voice. “What? What’s wrong?”

I squealed. “It happened! It’s finally happened. Klaus, look at my fingers!”

He looked confused now, his eyes looking at my fingers, but the glowing stopped. “What’s happened?”

I giggled. “My magic. I can feel it. I don’t even know how to describe it, but I can feel it. I have magic. It’s real. I thought maybe I didn’t because nothing was happening, but it did! It finally happened.”

He smiled. “Aubrey, that’s great.”

I jumped a little, giddy with excitement. “Can we go and see the cauldron? I want to see if there is anything I can do now.”

“We can, but breakfast first.” He waved the pan he had, and I hurried over, plopping down on a seat at the island. I couldn’t sit still, my nerves bouncing around with excitement.

I couldn’t help but smile, looking at my hands. “It’s so weird. This feeling.” I glanced up at Klaus. “Is this what it feels like when you first learn to shift?”

He shifted his head around. “It’s been a long time since I first shifted, but it’s possible. However, I remember it being more uncomfortable than anything. It was like a strong feeling that hits you that you need to leave. You feel a sudden heat, and every muscle in your body seems to scream at once.”

I frowned. “That doesn’t sound comfortable at all.”

“That’s because it wasn’t.”

“Is it like that all the time?”

He shook his head as he flipped the eggs in the pan. “No, just the first time. Your body is learning how to shift, so it’s new. After you’ve done it, it’s not bad. It’s natural.”

I looked back at my fingers, wondering what I would be able to do. I knew that magic was different for everyone, and all the reading explained spells and different abilities.

Klaus slid me a plate of eggs. “Eat and then we can leave.”
