“Some of the plants here are…not the safest while others are only used for medicinal purposes. And some are here because they are pretty, and I like looking at beautiful things.” His intent stare on me brings a blush to my face as he sits me in a large, cushioned chair.

He wastes no time handing me something as he sits me down. “What…what is this?”

In my hands resting on my lap is the book I was drawn to yesterday.

“You’re going to help look for a spell or an incantation to send this fucker back to hell where he came from.”

“But…I can’t read…” before I can finish, he is handing me a piece of paper with the witch’s alphabet written in bold, strong script on it.

So, I spend most of the day going over the pages of beautifully scrawled words and translating the ones I don’t know into letters I can understand, using my phone to translate the Latin ones. The whole book is a bit journal and a bit instruction manual talking about Deliverance and her life here with the man she loved. Some things I don’t understand while some make perfect sense to me. The whole electric surge that happens when me and Nate touch is fairly common among the people in his family. The sharing of power also happens but much less frequently than the electric thing.

A lot of it gives me comfort knowing that others have been where I am, in the same situation and feeling the same things. At lunch, Nate comes in.

“How’s it going?”

“Not bad, really. A lot better than I thought it would. Did you know you can manipulate the weather? It’s the first thing young witches learn. That and the glamour we saw Deliverance use in the vision we had.” I look up at him as he closes a door off to one side and flips a lock. “Of course, you know. I just…find it really interesting.”

“Anything on the evil we’re dealing with yet?”

“She talks about it off and on but nothing about getting rid of it yet.”

“You’re very beautiful when you find something interesting.” He walks closer to the chair I am sitting in. “You’re very beautiful period. But when you find something intriguing your eyes light up and your cheeks have this hint of pink across them that is very appealing.”

“Oh, um, thank you.” It comes out almost as a question more than an actual thanks. As he gets closer the beat of my heart starts hammering faster until he’s standing in front of me and looking down into my eyes. His fingers brush against the side of my cheek and over my jaw, before using his hand to tilt my head even further back.

“Remember what I told you?”

“About not knowing what’s about to happen?” I don’t understand why I feel like I must whisper but I do.

“No,” he runs his thumb along my lower lip, “about not ever letting you go again.”

“Oh,” I remember. My breath comes quicker and quicker. He bends over until our lips are only a breath apart. My eyes drift closed, and I wait for his mouth to come down on mine. But instead, he’s picking me up and sitting back down with me in his lap. He positions my legs on either side of his until I’m sitting with my legs spread wide.

My hands go to where my skirt is riding up so I can hold it down. The last thing I want is for Brian to come in while I am spread so wide. Nate takes my hands in his and holds them close to my breasts. With his free hand, he trails his fingertips along my inner thigh.

“You know, I realized as soon as we met on that dark road that you were mine.”

I try to keep up with what he is saying but it is hard when he’s doing things with his fingers.

“I felt this shock, this electricity course through me as soon as I laid eyes on you, and when we touched…it felt like holding live wire. I wanted you to go, to get off this island so you wouldn’t have to deal with all this curse bullshit, all the worry about what it means to be fated to be with me.” His fingers move higher and higher. “Now, I realize…you will only ever be safe if I keep you close to me. Only safe if I keep you within arms’ reach.”

His fingers brush against the soft skin just below my panties causing me to gasp and pull back out of sheer instinct. But there’s nowhere to go, his broad chest is right behind me, his arms around me, his hand holding both of mine captive. “N…Nate, what are you…doing?”

“Giving you reasons to want to stay with me.”

Before I can decode the meaning of his words his fingertips are skimming over the gusset of my panties. My breath stills and my heart is beating so loudly it’s all I can hear. He does it again and again until my hips are dancing to move away from his touch…or are they trying to make him move closer to me? A moan falls from my lips without me meaning for it to causing me to doubt which way my body is trying to go - farther away or closer to his touch.

He gives a soft hum as he nuzzles into my neck. “So soft.” I jerk as his fingers swipe at me again but this time skin to skin. He must have moved my panties to the side. “So wet.”

“O…oh my God! Nate?”

“See,” his breath moves the fine hairs along my temple as he keeps up the soft petting, “I’ve never touched anything so soft and warm. Never felt anything quite like what I have my hands on now.”

That sense of electricity goes through me at an amplified level as his fingers home in on the bundle of nerves at the top of my pussy as he uses his fingers to spread me apart. “Nate! Nate…what…?”

I have no choice but to let my head fall back on his shoulder as he plays with the tightening bud and nibbles at my ear and neck. I squirm on his lap and try to close my legs only to find that he’s trapped them open with his own.

Everything in me seems to be narrowing, focusing, on that one spot. My breasts grow heavy and tight, the nipples hardening painfully until everything throughout my body feels too tight, the touch too much to take. A whimper slips from my lips as Nate weaves a magic spell around me that has nothing at all to do with him being a witch.
