She gestured toward the magic as if it hadn’t surprised her.Or scared her.“We can deal with that as well.”

“Stolen magic that’s devouring me from the inside out isn’t something you deal with.It’ll kill me if the Senate or Revelare can’t finish me off first.”

“Don’t be so dramatic, Sparky.”She laughed.Not a polished giggle.No, this was more of a snort.It should’ve been annoying, off-putting, anything but attractive.Why did everything about her have to be so sexy?“I’ll figure out a fix for your demon powers.”

“Male witches don’t have active powers.”He recited the universal truth.

“Yes, I know the rule.Everyoneknows the rule.But here you are with powers.That magic should’ve killed you when the demon put it inside you.Or scorched through you the first time you invoked it.Yet you live.I’m counting on your ability to survive.Or that you’re so very expendable if something unfortunate were to happen.”

Her last words had all his internal alarms screaming “danger, danger,” but he couldn’t seem to worry when she was here.With him.Again.“What do you need?”

“I need you for a job.A five-day, make it out alive and you walk away with your freedom gig.”

“Doing what?”

“I need a husband.You in?”
