Would finding release with Aidan be that wild and untamed?
Sadie shook her thoughts clear of the sexy alpha.
It worked!
“Thank the goddess this actually has a chance!” She pumped a fist in the air and received a swish of a tail from her plump familiar. “Cheer up, Luna. I think we’re almost there. Just a few final touches.”
Sadie scrolled a finger over the spell she’d penned especially for this task until she came to the last part needed to bind the spell to find true love. What many didn’t know is that this particular love spell also doubled as a reverse spell if combined with just enough dragon’s blood.
Just what her sister needed. That it caused a side case of possible true love was a happy side effect.
True love. Ha. Sadie would be happy if she could get one devilish sexy shifter to look her way one more time. No love particularly required, but in some ridiculous corner of her mind, a roguish shifter to call her own did have a nice ring to it.
If anything, his sapphire eyes and midnight black hair spelled wild lust-filled nights. Her whole body quivered just thinking about the broody male that had spent the better part of the last month holding down the back corner table opposite her bar top.
Damn the goddesses. She knew to the bottom of her soul they’d had her in mind when they cooked up his wolfish charms and good looks. Her body thrummed every time she felt him track her movements as she tended her customers. His eyes had a way of glowing with an ethereal light every time she glanced his direction. Raw heat is what she saw in their depths, and it made her naughty side crave a little dirty romance.
She couldn’t quite wrap her mind around the why, but when their gazes connected, nothing else mattered. For that split second between serving a drink or some other task at hand, everything dropped away and she only saw him, the force of his gaze was like the smack of her love potion to her senses and her thoughts of total possession. She just didn’t understand it. Maybe she didn’t need to. Maybe it was leftover feelings from the night they almost shared.
She didn’t fit under the ranks of saints. She’d had wild nights of hot sex before, but Aidan made her feel different. As if what he wanted would be beyond mind-blowing. If only she knew what had sent him hoofing it out of her bar and away from her when they were so close to finally taking their attraction to the next level.
Did he not feel the same way? If he did, the wolf had a damn good way of hiding it.
She paused and looked down at her handiwork.
The potion. It was playing with her emotions and churning up the hottest passions buried in her soul.
She let out a deep sigh. “Here comes the fun part. Time to nudge destiny a bit.”
She closed her eyes and dashed thoughts of Aidan to the back of her mind, where they damn well better stay locked away. With her attention refocused on fusing the potion with her binding powers, Sadie interlaced her fingers to form a barrier over the opening of her cauldron and started.
With this spell I declare
A single drink to claim a heart so fair
A perfect match bring forth this night
With a heart pure in light and a wish for a union so true and right
For the good of all and with free will I cast this spell to do my will
As I enchant this potion with my words
So let it be done and that it harms no one
So mote it be
Flashes of purple and magic-laced fire brought her eyes open. A single flame spiraled up from the liquid like a fiery tornado, then absorbed back into the confines of the pot to shimmer with her infused power.
Done.
“Now if only by the goddesses’ power it helps Harlow.”
From the shelf above her refrigerator, Sadie snagged a silver container she normally reserved for the homemade liquor the other locals preferred. Shifters burned through what she had on tap for the humans in her small town, so she cooked up her own brew that kept her doors open.
Barely.
Her illegal love hooch would keep her in the black for now, but for how long? She couldn’t sell enough of the regular booze to the locals and stay afloat. This winter had turned nasty early on and not many braved the cold when they could drink happily at home. Her only hope now was her ability to attract more shifters with her special brew of Moon Brew, which wasn’t illegal. Yet. Who knew what the Circle would do at any time to maintain control over covens?
She measured three servings of the potion into the container and then sealed the bottle. She placed the canister on the table by the front door and turned to the mirror to straighten out her hair from the messy bun she sported, planning her next move… delivery and payment.
