“Who reads that?” I demanded.
Ripley and Ravyn started laughing.
“The witches eat it up. They are after a totally different body part now.”
I nearly started choking. I grabbed the athame and poked my finger. I needed to bleed in this bowl before someone asked to see my dick.

We all passed the first mom test and got approved for library cards. Which was immensely cool because we all wanted one, but were too terrified of getting declined for a library card to come over and do it. There were places in the library we couldn’t go because we weren’t approved for them, but there honestly wasn’t anything in those areas I would ever need as an energy vampire unless I was up to no good.
I was pretty sure George’s mom and aunt broke Drake. George wouldn’t have told her mom about how turbulent their relationship was at first, but someone did. They were super accepting, and those diaries were probably going to help him a lot, but I was pretty sure telling him that thirsty witches were more interested in his dick than his toenails just blew his mind.
And then there was Ren, who wasn’t letting it drop, and I was pretty sure was winning Ripley over.
“Drake might not be interested in Basilisk smut, but I need to know if your library has something I haven’t read yet. I would have told you the witches were probably more interested in your dick than your toenails, but I thought you knew it was a thing and were choosing to ignore it,” Ren said.
“I definitely didn’t know that was why several witches asked me to join them at the first moon orgy!”
“It was science,” Balthazar said, pulling out a pixie stick and dumping it down his throat. “They wanted to know if the Basilisk porn was true.”
Felix groaned.
“I thought we hid all the sugar.”
“I unhid it,” Reyson said. “We’re having a celebration. Don’t be mean.”
“I end up with his glitter all over me every time he finds the sugar!”
Oh, IadoredGeorge’s family. I was used to her dad in history class, but theyallappeared to be agents of chaos.
“There’snothingwrong with glitter,” Dexter said.
“Thank you!” Balthazar said.
“If you’re a pixie. Balthazar’s glitter never washes off. You think it’s gone, and then you find it on your balls.”
“Disco ball testicles were all the rage back in the day,” Loki said.
“Ignore my husband and don’t glitter your balls. That’s a UTI waiting to happen,” Ravyn said.
Dexter was going to Dexter. He winked at Ravyn.
“Unless you’re dating a pixie. Then, it just comes with the territory.”
George put her hands over her ears and started singing. Dexter did that sometimes because George had a drastic reaction to it. The pixie was the only person bold enough at the table to say something like that in front of parents.
Like, I’d seen the God of Chaos when he was mad at someone. Kaylee and Paris were going to get expelled for attendance at the rate he was going. I was pretty sure he could make true on his threat of making sure their bodies were never found, but he preferred playing with his prey and ruining their lives.
I’m sure heknewwe were having sex with his little girl, but none of us were about to suggest we were doing anything but chastely holding her hand in case he wanted to get godly about it.
“So, since we’re all here and all of you are now family, I need to tell you a secret. Mina, I hope this doesn’t change anything,” Mags said.
More secrets. George got spooked when she was going to tell us hers. In all fairness, every banshee at the Academy of the Profane shrieking and the God of Death coming to get us because someone got murdered was a pretty big omen, so none of us blamed her. She’d tell us when she was ready, but I was dying to know because I was nosy.
Mags big secret involved Mags, Felix, and Ravyn’s husband Killian getting up from the table and taking their clothes off. I didn’t know why the witches and warlocks were getting naked, but I knew better than to stare, even though they might be expecting me to look for something.
One, I wouldn’t do that to George. Two, Felix and Killian were married and anyone could tell Mags and Matilda were deeply in love. Belladonna would have repeated some outdated nonsense that Matilda was going to fly off and attack us for staring just because she was a shifter, butno oneliked it if you objectified their partners and everyone reacted badly if it made their partner uncomfortable.
