I tried to talk, but the spell held me captive. Tansy’s lips moved without sound while she made a small gesture, and I was able to talk again. She had control over the spell.
“Yes, I did.”
Her expression was unreadable. “Did you mean it?”
I’d been drunk at the time, but yes, I meant it. “Every word of it. Iamsorry. Idolove you. And Iamstill Eamon.”
“Really?” The word was shaky, as was her bottom lip, which I wanted to capture with mine.
“Yes. I’m still Eamon,” I said with a straight face.
“Ugh! And you’re still horrible!” She slapped me on the chest with the back of her hand.
“Oof. I didn’t know you were kinky like that, little witch. Abusing me while you have me all tied up.”
She threw the note at me, making an exasperated sound, then stomped off up the stairs and through a door.
“Hey! Come back, sexy,” I shouted up to her.
Nugget flew out from the room instead to greet me by landing and settling on my head.
“Hey. How’s my little cutie doing?”
“Such a cutie,” she said. “Oooooh. Such a cutie.”
“See, Nugget forgives me. Come back!” I knew what she wanted to hear. I worried she didn’t love me back, but I knew I had to tell her. “Would it help if I told you I love you?”
She peeked over the railing. “Say it again.”
“I love you, Tansy.”
The spell on me faded completely, and I was up the stairs in an instant, and she was in my arms. I kissed the top of her head.
“I love you too, Eamon. I missed you so much.” She buried her face in my chest.
She loved me! A warmth filled my chest, almost convincing me that I had a heart. I must be the luckiest demon on this plane.
I tilted her chin to kiss her, but it was only now that I noticed she had bags under her eyes, and her usually radiant complexion was ruddy and dull. Liam hadn’t been lying when he’d mentioned she needed help replenishing her magic stores. I cupped her face instead.
“You need rest, little witch.”
“Is that your way of saying I look like shit?” she asked, chuckling.
“You will always be gorgeous to me, but I worry about your health.” I quirked my lips. “After all, you need to be able to keep up with me.”
She turned serious. “I’ve slept for hours and eaten everything I could get my hands on. I’ve played with Nugget, taken showers and baths, and listened to music. I even tried to play video games because Seth insists they help him a lot. Everything works just a little to replenish my magic, but not enough.” She put her hands on my cheeks. “I needyou, Eamon.”
I let out a rumbling purr, ridiculously happy at her words. “Then you will have me. Anytime you want. Forever.” Then, because I knew it would make her roll her eyes, I added, “I’ll be your special sauce.”
I didn’t know how we ended up on the bed, but I was kissing her, nibbling and licking every part of her I could reach. When her clothes got in my way, I grabbed them.
“Don’t you dare rip these, Eamon. I’ll have nothing left.” Her attempts at mending her clothes magically worked only in our eyes. Nugget had refused to cuddle in them afterward, turning her little beak up at the shoddy handiwork.
“But—”
“You don’t want me naked around Seth and Liam, do you?”
I growled, and she chuckled softly.
