Where’d you get them?

And who are you hanging out with???

She’d sent the messages a couple of hours ago. It was midnight in Marrakech. I texted to see if she was up, but there was no response.

An aphrodisiac? It didn’t make sense. Not when Reeve refused to let me touch him or see him naked.

Shaking my head, I went back to Lee Tower to shower and change.

I was pulling on a T-shirt Sasha had given me — printed with the slogan “Witch by birth, bitch by choice” — when the phone rang. I made a grab for it.

“You’re awake!” I exclaimed, not bothering with a word of the day. “Talk to me. An aphrodisiac? Those are Reeve’s herbs, and the man will not let me near his junk. He put all the moves on me, but I kid you not, he wore an actual pair of pajamas while I slept naked.”

“Slow down. You did what?”

“I went to his mansion.” I cupped my hand around the phone to whisper, even though I was alone in my room. “Sasha, he made me come. The curse is sooooo broken. Well, except for the whole not letting me touch him part.”

Sasha exhaled. “Okay. I think I follow you. He gave you these herbs, you hooked up, and you slept over.”

“No! I snooped in his cupboard when he was out of the room.”

“Really? Why?” Her voice held no judgment, only curiosity.

“Because — I have questions about him and his friends. They’re up to something that doesn’t feel right. But they’re also — he’s also —” I blew out a breath.

“What?” she prodded.

“He’s ridiculously hot. He’s silver-tongued and seductive and… ugh. He knows exactly how to push my buttons.”

I squeezed my legs together. I was getting wet, thinking about Reeve’s velvet caresses and rough slaps, and I didn’t want to have to change my panties again.

“Daisy, listen. I googled Reeve today, and he doesn’t feel right to me either.” She snorted a laugh. “I mean, Forbes 30 Under 30? Most eligible fuckwad… Come on. So not your type.”

“Except that he kind of is.” I rubbed my forehead. “It’s not about the money and the style. It’s more that we understand each other. He knows what it’s like to burn.”

There was a silence. The dark roses from Reeve, now sitting on my desk in a Mason jar, drew my eye. The whole room smelled like them.

“Do you know anything else about the herbs?” I asked quickly.

“I’ll see what I can find. Especially about the second one.” Sasha’s voice brightened. “So what are you up to? Besides snooping in rich boys’ closets.”

“I’m upping my practice.”

“Of flute?” She sounded so hopeful.

“No, magic. I’m reading everything I can get my hands on. Finding places with good energy on campus. There’s this place, Greer Hill, with truly magical woods — that’s where I helped with your spell for Farida. I feel like I belong there.” I hesitated. “I’m looking for healing spells.”

“Daisy, are you trying to heal your hand?”

I paced the length of my room.
