CHAPTER7

Hera arrived immediately following dinner,just as she promised, and she’d brought Arachne with her. Maddie loved the clothes she’d seen created by the woman who owned Metamorphosis but she’d never owned any of the spider shifter’s unique creations herself so this, having the talented woman here to help make her look delectable enough to seduce Jaden, was a definite treat. Chloe whisked all three women up to a spare bedroom.

“Do you want to keep the clothes you’re currently wearing?” Arachne asked, eyeing Maddie appreciatively.

“These are my favorite leggings,” Maddie said tentatively.

“Strip off everything you want to keep as-is,” Arachne ordered. “I do need to work some with material that already exists, though.”

“Um. Okay.” Maddie sat on the edge of the bed and pulled off her leggings before standing awkwardly in front of the women again. “Where do you want me?”

“You’re good where you are.” Arachne circled her slowly. “Do you prefer loose or tight clothing?”

“Loose, please.”

“All right then.” Arachne flexed her fingers and grinned.

“Your fairy godmothers are ready to work their magic.” Hera quipped with a smile crossing her face.

“Do you say ‘bibbidi bobbidi’ or something?” Maddie said with a chuckle to hide her nerves.

Arachne touched her shoulder, waving her hands over Maddie's chest faster than she could even keep track of, and changed her simple blue t-shirt into a sheer peasant blouse with a wide neck.

“Hmm,” the woman said thoughtfully, and then put a cool finger against Maddie’s bra strap. The material flickered through the blue blouse and reappeared, forming a flexible underbust corset.

Maddie’s cheeks flared as red as her hair. “But…” She gestured at her fully visible breasts.

“Odin’s is dimly lit. Nobody’ll notice,” Hera reassured her. She winked. “At least until you get in front of Jaden.”

“The point is totalkto him,” Maddie protested. “How can I talk to him if he’s not paying attention to my words?”

Hera raised her eyebrow. “I thought you were re-seducing him and then pulling away to talk to him?”

Maddie bit her lip. “I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop.”

Three women smirked at her. “That good, huh?”

“You havenoidea,” Maddie groaned, covering her face with her hands.

“I have a pretty good idea,” Hera said. “His brotherismy mate.” She examined Maddie again. “But if you’re not comfortable…”

“Maybe if it was a little less sheer?” Maddie suggested.

“Very well.” Another brush of Arachne’s fingertips over her shoulders and the shirt thickened slightly.

Maddie examined herself in the mirror over the dresser. She couldn’t see her nipples unless the light hit the material at just the right angle. “Thank you. Much better,” she said, relieved.

“Now for your lower half.” Arachne tapped her lips. “A jean skirt, perhaps? Something form-fitting to contrast with the flowiness of the top.”

“That sounds good,” Maddie agreed.

“Perfect.” Hera grinned mischievously and Maddie didn’t understand why until she felt the shift of her clothing.

“But—” she started to say.

“You wanted to keep your leggings,” Hera reminded her, a twinkle in her eye.

Maddie swallowed hard, meeting Chloe’s gaze.
