CHAPTER 35 - PART 3 – Glinda

“Ar-gon-a-bea,” Gregorywiped his mouth and tried again. “Are you going to be putting something else on?”

I hid my smile, “I don’t have anything else to put on. But now that you mention it, these clothes are awfully uncomfortable.”

“What in heaven’s name are you doing?”

My eyes danced as I answered demurely, “Taking this sopping wet shirt off. It should dry better without me in it.”

“You can’t do that!” he exploded.

I winked at him, “Watch me.”

I hadn’t meant that he needed to watch my every movement physically, but Gregory had always been most obedient.

Slipping the soggy material over my head, I wrung it out and tossed it over the nearest bush. Next, I went to the buttons on my pants.

“You can’t take off your pants, Lin! This is indecent. Anyone could come along!”

I shrugged, “I suppose that I will have to take that chance. It’s not like you want me any longer, so that doesn’t pose a problem.”

His cheek twitched, “You know nothing of what you are talking about.”

I slid the zipper down, “You're right. I do know nothing. I am always kept in the dark when it comes to things. My sisters think I am an imbecile and don’t listen to anything I say. My father finds me incapable and sends me to rule over the most boring territory of Oz. And my ex-boyfriend didn’t even want to have sex with me.”

His body crashed into my own, holding me in a punishing grip. This was nothing like the kisses that we had shared in the past. Those were sweet and innocent, leaving my head spinning and butterflies in my stomach.

This hit me like a semi, there weren’t butterflies in my stomach, but full-grown elephants are tromping around.

His hands held me immobile as his mouth dominated mine, slashing his tongue across my lips until I opened for him. I wasn’t sure who groaned with satisfaction, but it very well could have been me.

I felt alive for the first time in my life.

Raising up on my toes, I kissed him back with everything in my being. He had wanted to throw all of this away. Well, the hell with that.

I was a fucking witch Queen. It was time for me to take back my life, and I was starting with Gregory. We weren’t over, until I said we were over.

Biting his lower lip, I tugged on the tender skin. His hands slid into my bra, pulling it down so he could have access to my bare breasts.

Why hadn’t we done this before?
