Page 52 of Bewitched By the Headless Horseman
A deep laugh escaped him, and he smiled against her lips. “That I caneasilydo.”
Kit lifted her dress, and she then remembered what she was wearing. “Don’t open your eyes, but wait! This is a rented dress!” Stevie shouted. She unbuttoned the gown, not even wanting to think about paying full price for it. Kit leaned back as she tugged the fabric over her head and tossed it on what she hoped was the coffee table. “There! Now we resume.” She lay back downin just her bra and panties while bringing Kit with her, his lips returning to hers, ravenous.
His cool hand skimmed down her stomach and slipped into her panties. She moaned as he dipped two digits inside her heat, his palm hitting and rubbing her core just right. So fantastically. His rhythmic motions continued, her breath increasing. She gripped his hair harder when she couldn’t hold back, her body quaking, and came from his addicting movements.
“Now, I’ll be a proper lady and return the favor,” Stevie sang, her fingers fumbling for the button of his pants. Finally, she found the stupid thing and unfastened it to free his hard length. He growled when she grasped him, a deep groan rumbling up his throat as her thumb circled his tip. She pumped him in the way he seemed to like, gliding up and down his velvety skin, until a low and hypnotic sound escaped him.
Stevie hadn’t meant to open her eyes so soon, but when she did, he dropped through her, both laying within one another, her catching her breath and him relaxing before he pushed himself up above her. “Pleasure and go. I see how it is,” he said, a smile in his voice, and she wished there was a spell for her to see that smile.
“A massage session only lasts so long.” She bit her lip, unable to contain the flying feeling soaring through her.
Stevie turned her car down Reese’s street since he never messaged her back. She looked toward his house, and his car was missing from action. Her eyes met the camera hanging just above the door, and she groaned. “New plan. Hang on.”
She pulled farther down the street and parked along a curb. “There are cameras outside his house, and who knows what’s inside, so I don’t think it’s best if I go with you. But I don’twant you to be spotted either if he has a mystery sidekick or something worse lingering around.”
“It’s worth the risk,” Kit said.
“All right then, here’s what’s going to happen,” Stevie started. “If you find your head, Inferno, or something else important, come and tell me, then you can unlock the door and I’ll help. Who cares about the cameras at that point. Afterward, we’ll still have to find Reese though since he’s a male seer. If we’re wrong about our hunch, he needs to be kept away from Levi until both Eyes close.”
“If for some reason I don’t return, don’t follow me in. Get one of the witches.”
“Fine,” Stevie lied. She would message Lucia, then go break inside the house, regardless if dark magic was potentially frolicking about.
Kit stepped through the car and ran toward Reese’s house. She turned up the song to keep her heart from palpitating too much, crossing her fingers that he’d find his head in there, even if it meant Reese was a dirty little helper.
She texted Gideon to see if Reese had messaged her brother back. Gideon had contacted him that morning to ask about the comics for his shop.
Negative here.
With a sigh, Stevie set her phone down and kept her eyes trained on Reese’s house. The night before barreled through her skull, how she and the Headless Horseman, of all people, had gotten each other off. And her greedy self wanted to do itagaineven with everything going on. “Not if he doesn’t come back out first!”
As she was about to rip off her seatbelt and make way for Reese’s house, Kitfinallyslipped out into the front yard.
“I couldn’t find my head,” he said after settling into the passenger seat, his shoulders stiffened. “Nor Inferno, oranything else of importance. It doesn’t mean my head isn’t there or buried elsewhere with a masking spell on it though.”
She bit her lip. “There could be a third option. Let’s say Reese is helping Levi, but he doesn’t know the warlock is ‘evil’ or whatever.”
“It’s possible,” Kit said. “I wouldn’t put anything past Levi.”
Stevie started down the street, keeping her eye out for anything suspicious. “I’ll have Lucia get back with Adelia and tell her Reese is missing if he isn’t at his work. If we fail, there isn’t a long lifeline to extend or an extra life to pluck out of the sky for you. And cauldron’s teeth, I sure don’t want to find out what the town will look like if the Hollow opens.”
Chapter Twenty
“So, what did Adelia say?” Stevie asked Lucia as soon as she answered the phone and put it on speaker for Kit to hear. She’d texted her sister-in-law earlier to let her know Reese still wasn’t at his house and his work was locked up tight.
“No celebration news,” Lucia said. “No luck with even her strongest spell at finding Levi. She’s now made it a mission to contact the council and have them hunt Reese down. Then we trained for a little bit and she brushed me up on a few history secrets.”
“Hopefully the council can locate him quickly.”
“Something beyond fishy is going on for sure.” Lucia sighed. “Reese might know the jig is up and is keeping a low profile, or Levi has him hidden somewhere with dark magic. I have a few errands to run for Adelia, but on the way, I’ll collect a strand of Reese’s hair from his home and try to locate him.”
“Let me know what you find out.”
Kit pushed away from the counter after Stevie ended the call. “Your mother’s car just got here, so I’ll search through Sleepy Hollow for Reese.”
He could easily slip through houses and check places that she couldn’t. It would be faster without her tagging along. “Be careful,” Stevie said.
“For you, I will be.” With that, he left toward the back of the house.
