Jeremy laughs too and says, “yes.”
“Lie, that’s not your intention,” Nic says with an eye roll.
“At least we know it works!” I say with a cheeky smile.
Nic can’t help but return it. “Try to take it off.”
Jeremy attempts to remove the hair tie but it won’t budge from his wrist. He yanks on it as hard as he can but it’s stuck there.
“What the hell? Take this off!” Jeremy demands.
Now I’m full on belly laughing and it feels so incredible. It’s been a while since I’ve laughed this hard.
Jeremy softens, getting less angry and almost smiling when he looks over at me so happy. He turns to Nic, and his face gets harder. “Take it off.”
Nic is laughing now too. “But it’s so ideal! You won’t be able to lie to me at all! I can ask all sorts of questions.”
“I just won’t answer!” Jeremy replies.
Jay, Kiran and Jax come in the room looking at us like we are all crazy.
“What’s so funny in here?” Kiran asks, coming up to me and wrapping his arms around me.
Jay joins him and starts playing with my hair, swirling it around his finger. “Ya, I could hear Aly Kat laughing from the other room.”
Jax leans against the wall and waits for an answer.
I explain that the spell worked and Nic tested it on Jeremy. I can’t stop laughing when I tell them that it can only be removed by Nic. At this point it’s not even that funny, I’m just in desperate need of a laugh.
They all join in until everyone is laughing at poor Jeremy’s expense.
“You should ask him if he’ll ever stop stealing our food!” Kiran says around laughs.
That only makes the laughing worse when I tell them he already did.
Eventually, Nic takes pity on Jeremy and removes the lie detector bracelet.
“Damn, that would have been fantastic,” Jay jokes.
“So, when are we going to use these on the parents?” Kiran asks and we all defer to Nic.
If he doesn’t answer soon, I might lose it and that would be a shame after all this laughter and fun.
“Let’s go tomorrow, after we’ve all rested and recharged. Some of us are low on magic, and we need to be at full strength,” Nic says.
“I agree,” I say, walking up and wrapping my arms around him. “Thank you.”
He leans down and gives me a kiss. Licking my bottom lip before nibbling on it a little. He gives me a slight squeeze before pulling back.
He gazes around the room. “So rest up tonight, no magic and be prepared for tomorrow!”
Everyone heads out of the room, going their separate ways and I enjoy a few extra minutes thanking my mage properly.

I head over to the living room and settle back in with the book on hunters and their mates we got from Ryan. This book is a well of information and I can’t believe I waited this long to read it.
