Jane: Maybe I should just sink the ship.

The locket had once more disappeared. Not for long, I was sure. Its devious magic would keep it in play until it landed on the right man. And given that Oz had been nowhere near it when it soared back onto the boat, I could safely—and a bit sadly—surmise that it wasn’t him.

Not that I wanted Oz to be my mate—even if my girly parts still tingled from that unexpected make-out session. The man could kiss, not to mention ooze sex in a manner that drugged all my senses. In a good way. But also, scary.

The fact that I’d lost control staggered me. In that moment, with the kiss and the feel of Oz’s body on me being the only thing that mattered, I’d finally understood why I had been conceived in public. Hell, I’d almost recreated history.

Totally out of character. Shocking now that I had a chance to step back and examine what had happened. Surely it wasn’t uncontrollable lust making me act irrationally. It had to be the fault of the locket, the spell on it forcing my hormones into overdrive. Convincing my uterus that I needed a man. The magic must be making me horny because no way was this desire for Oz natural.

Even if it weren’t real, it gave me the perfect excuse to put morals and history aside to jump in the sack with him. A quick wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am to get Oz out of my system.

Would once be enough?

“Ugh.” I groaned aloud, mostly because I couldn’t stop thinking about him. “This is pathetic.” It didn’t help that I’d left him to find privacy in my room. The coffin that only stifled.

I quickly changed out of my damp clothes, opting for a light summer dress and strappy sandals, which by some miracle I’d found in my messy bag after only a little bit of rummaging around.

My damp, frizzy hair irritated in my braids which I’d bunned, so I took the plaits out and ran my fingers through the curls. Go wild, or go home. A cruise, unlike the workplace, was a perfect place to let my hair loose.

I also slid on shorts under my dress. Some of the shorter-stature cruise guests had wandering gazes. I’d just applied lipstick when I felt something. A flutter in my heart. Not the usual tug of magic, but something that had my pulse racing. The love spell wasn’t wasting time. The locket must have found a new victim.

Perhaps I should hunt it down myself and not involve Oz. Each time the locket appeared in his vicinity, it disappeared soon after.

“I’ll go without him,” I grumbled under my breath, preparing to leave the room.

No, you’re not. The voice in my head froze my hand on the door handle.

Swinging it open, I noticed Oz slouching across from my door. At the sight of me, he straightened.

A bunch of things whirled in my head. Questions like, “Why are you stalking me?” “How is it you look so
