His chest rumbled in satisfaction, and he pulled away the blankets he’d just tucked me beneath. My abdomen tensed as he lowered himself between my thighs, his face just above my core.

Liam stared down at me intensely, taking me in before he lifted his gaze back to mine. “Last chance to change your mind.”

“I’m not changing my mind,” I said.

He inhaled deeply, giving me another rumble before he finally dragged his tongue slowly over my clit.

I sucked in an unsteady breath at the sensations.

Wet… hot… smooth…

“Fucking hell, you taste even better than you smell,” Liam growled against me.

I buried my fingers in his hair, dragging his mouth back down to me.

He licked me again, and my back arched.

Again, and my toes curled.

Again, and I finally shattered, gasping and swearing as I came down from the fast, hard climax. “Holy shit.”

He growled against me, circling my clit with his tongue. “We can do better than that.”

I swore again as the tip of his finger met my entrance. “I’ve never…” I trailed off, not wanting to finish the sentence.

His eyes met mine again. “Not even with a toy?”

I shook my head.

The fire in his eyes blazed brighter. “I’ll go easy on you.”

I swatted his head, and he grinned.

Then slid his finger inside me.

My humor faded, and I sucked in a breath as he filled me with it. There was a tiny bit of pain before he reached the back, but hegave me a moment to adjust before he pulled his finger out and added a second.

My toes curled as he worked my clit with his tongue and slowly fucked me with his hand.

I swore, arched, and gasped. My toes curled before I came again, squeezing his fingers with the force of my pleasure.

He feasted on me, bringing me back to the edge and shattering me again and again, until I pushed his face away weakly. Exhaustion had me closing my eyes as he settled beside me on the bed.

Liam’s lips brushed the side of my throat, and he murmured something I didn’t quite hear as I dozed off.

SAGE

I managedto sleep eighteen hours before hunger and the need to pee woke me with a vengeance. Liam mumbled a complaint as I pushed his arm off of me so I could get out.

After a stop in the bathroom, I grabbed a pair of panties and a tank top before making my way into the kitchen.

I checked in with my mom really quick—she was fine, and no one suspected that she knew about my magic anymore—then glanced at the phone Liam had given me. Madison and Vera wanted to meet up before their vacations ended. I texted back that I’d figure it out soon and let them know.

A peek at Liam’s phone told me that the Villins had secured the perimeter, and there hadn’t been any more signs of Hattie or any other witches in the past twenty-four hours.

Also, Bailey and Harvey needed to talk to Liam about some vampires looking into witches. I was fairly sure Cecil had something to do with that.
