I finally found Levi out back. My yard wasn’t huge, but it was nice. My little slice of the country. I’d planted big trees for shade, ones that loved to drop their leaves this time of year. They made my trek across the lawn rather obvious as I crunched to the back, where he was leaning against a trunk, looking at me with a sulky expression.

“So, have you all decided what to do with your weakest link?”

“When did you become such a drama queen?” I asked as I approached. He answered me with a fresh glower. “No. We didn’t talk about you. We didn’t really have time.” I saw a flash of amusement on his face, and felt encouraged.

“I see. So I’m definitely a priority for you.”

“Again with the drama queen. Should I start calling you Sparkle and picking all the brown M&Ms out of your package, because obviously they’re the color of poop?”

That gained me a laugh and a playful shove. Maybe I wasn’t so bad at this.

Then his face turned serious, and I was back to square one. “I’m concerned, Merry.”

“You’ll have to be more specific. There’s a lot of shit flying around to be concerned about, and not enough crap bags to clean it up.”

“What if I can’t help you? Or worse, what if I make a sticky situation worse with a misstep?”

“Any of us could do that, Levi. I’m the only one with real demon-hunting experience. I imagine Ike has some general hunting background, but demons are different than hunting birds or whatever werewolves eat.”

“You don’t know what werewolves eat?” Levi asked.

“Well, I mean, I don’t spend a lot of time studying the habits of other supernaturals.”

“You should. Since you’re in such close proximity with four of them. And we might be around for a while.”

I snorted. “What makes you say that? As soon as this is resolved, I’m sure you guys will be out of here. I know you don’t have a coven, but I am sure you have a life of charming to return to.”

“I think we all like it here. With you.”

He looked down at me. Suddenly, I realized we were very close. Too close. He reached out, slipping a loose hair behind my ear. I swallowed. “We agreed you wouldn’t charm me anymore.”

“I’m not,” he whispered, looking into my eyes.

Before I could stop it, he was leaning down. Time slowed as he did something I hadn’t experienced in centuries. Men had tried with me, but I’d always pushed them away. When I was human, my husband had been kind, but chosen for me. I didn’t want that chain wrapped around my life again. I didn’t need it.

As he closed in on me, I knew I had a choice. I could let it happen, or step back. It seemed simple. I should step back. My mind automatically knew what to do. My life was built to make it an automatic response. But my heart held my feet firm. I wanted this. But not just with Levi … with all of them.
