“You had already decided to do it, so I think it weakened the magic of it,” he said softly.

“What do you mean I had already decided to do it?” I asked.

“At Leona’s, I saw it in your eyes then, that you were debating it. You kept rubbing at your wrist. It was another reason I got so upset. And handled my emotions like a giant toddler.”

“Will it go away if you mark me again?” I asked.

“I think so.”

“Do you even want to mark me again?” Although we were in the process of making up, that didn’t mean he wanted to go back to how things were. My voice was soft and I couldn’t look into his eyes.

He tilted my chin up and stroked his finger across it. “I need to prove myself to you again. That’s why you removed it, because you realized I wasn’t capable of protecting you, of being the alpha you deserve.”

His eyes darted to Branson’s mark and widened. “You removed Branson’s, too.”

I didn’t remember removing Branson’s, but perhaps I had done it at the same time. “You all are a package deal, aren’t you?”

“Let me prove myself to you,” he begged. “Give me another chance?”

I looked down at our still joined bodies and said, “Pretty sure that’s what’s going on right now.”

He smirked, leaned down to kiss me, and thrust back into me so hard and fast that he hit my cervix and that combination of pleasure and tiny bit of pain continued for the next few minutes until I orgasmed, and he orgasmed with me.

Chapter

Three

When we returned to the house, the other three crowded into my bed, taking any place they could, at my feet or head, just anywhere that they could touch me.

I slept surrounded by their touch and woke feeling refreshed.

That feeling was short-lived when I went to the bathroom and saw the curse mark had spread and was now a strange star symbol. Rushing out to the bedroom, my fears were confirmed when I saw the mark on all of the guys’ faces as well.

“Fuck,” I gasped. Grabbing my phone, I took a picture and sent it to Kara.

She texted back, “Looking into it.”

“What’s wrong?” Riddick asked as he rolled over and blinked sleep-filled eyes open.

“All of you have the curse mark now,” I told him with a rough swallow.

“I already messaged Nana Kara,” Caleb said, his voice muffled by the pillow his face was pressed into.

“Come back to bed,” Triston said and reached a hand out for me.

“No, we need to get up,” Caleb said, groaned, and rolled onto his back. “We have things to do today.”

“What are we supposed to? Should we really go anywhere with a contagious curse mark?” It didn’t seem like a good idea for us to go out around other people if we might give them the curse as well.

“We aren’t going out around other people,” Caleb said. He sat up and ran a hand through his hair. “Everyone, get ready and meet in the foyer. Don’t touch my parents.”

“How should we dress?” I asked.

“Jeans and a t-shirt,” he answered, swung his leg out of bed, and shuffled to the door.

Triston and Branson followed him.

Riddick stood, wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me back onto the bed.
