So much for staying away from Marlena.

In Adam’s defense, going to the witch’s house wasn’t his idea. Cassie had called him earlier in the morning with news she’d created another potion for Samuel. And after everything that happened last night with the demon, he was itching to get the boss out of his home.

Still, his pulse raced at the thought of seeing Marlena again. He missed the taste of her, the sweet smell of her skin, the little sounds she made when they kissed. Come to think of it, he missed every damn thing about her. She consumed his thoughts, asleep and awake, and he couldn’t wait to get her alone.

But first, he had business to take care of. Adam rang the doorbell to Cassie’s home, shifting his weight from one foot to the other while he waited for someone to answer. He raised his hand to cover a yawn wide enough to make his jaw pop.

God, he was fucking exhausted. By the time he’d patched up the dog and cleaned the disaster inside his house, it was well past three in the morning. And since he had a job on the highway an hour and a half later, he hadn’t bothered going to bed. Since then, he’d been mainlining coffee and M&M’s just to keep his bleary eyes open.

“No, I’m afraid she’s out running errands.”

The witch didn’t seem very happy about that, and honestly, he couldn’t blame her. After what happened last night, he’d rather have Marlena locked tight inside Cassie’s house until the police arrested her assailants.

Cassie opened the door a little wider. “Why don’t you come inside?”

“Sure, but I can’t stay for long.” Even though his next appointment wasn’t until late in the evening, he wanted to get back to the house to make sure there weren’t any more demon problems.

Adam followed Cassie past the foyer and into the spacious kitchen. The floors and counters were sparkling clean, while the sink was filled with soapy water with a few pots and pans soaking in it. The stench of pawpaw hung heavy in the air, reminding him of the time he’d spent with Marlena in the muddy field. Then the field made him think of the kiss at the flea market, which in turn made him think of all the things he wanted to do with her once he got her good and naked. And he would. It was only a matter of time.

A large brown jug with a black screw-on cap sat on the granite counter by the stove. Beside it was
