Chapter 6

Darrell closed the door, making as little noise as possible. He turned and leaned against the wood frame and watched as Avery set the tray of cheese, crackers, grapes, and wine on the small dinette table off to the right of the sliders in Avery’s bedroom suite. For the last forty minutes, Avery had given him the grand tour of what could only be described as a palace.

Fitting, since they were the royal witch family.

He’d walked hallways lined with family pictures dating back generations, and Avery chatted about her childhood, her sisters, and answered every question he had with a smile.

But it wasn’t enough. He needed more.

“Where are you right now?” Avery asked, offering him a glass.

He took a large gulp.

“I’m wondering what might have happened had I chased you down when I saw you at my last performance with the ballet.”

“What do you mean?”

He took her by the hand, leading her to the sofa. “My heart ached when I got on the plane for New York. I told myself I could handle it. That I’d be back in a few years, but I always wondered if you had been old enough… maybe things would be different now.”

“With the spell?” She leaned back, lifting her feet and resting them on his lap. “We’d still be facing the same problem.”

“But we might have had a few years of getting to know each other before that curse kicked in.”

She took a lock of her hair and twirled it through her fingers. “Don’t be all doom and gloom. Positive energy ignites auras, giving them energy, where negative—”

He held up his hand. “Say no more.” Two large boxes next to the door into the actual bedroom caught his attention. “What’s in there?”

She glanced in the other direction and her lips parted. “Oh, God. I can’t believe my mother actually thought we wanted to see that.”

“See what?” he asked, tracing the bottom of her foot, enjoying how her toes curled.

“Dance stuff that either she kept, or I did.”

“So, you’ve got my posters in there from when I was with the Los Angeles Ballet as the lead male? The ones your father said you had plastered on your walls.”

She groaned.

“I’m flattered.”

She jabbed him with her foot. “You should be.”

“Let’s go check it out.” He went to stand, but before he knew it, she was on her knees, holding him down on the sofa.

“I’d rather we didn’t.”

“Well, now I have to.” He skirted out from under her and raced to the other side with her following. Laughter filled the room and for a moment, he felt something akin to hope.

“Why does everyone insist on embarrassing me?”

“I can only speak for myself, but your cheeks turn this flushed red color and your nose crinkles and it…well, it turns me on.”

“And that’s supposed to make me want to let you rummage through my pile of childhood memories?” She sat cross-legged on the floor, tucking her hair behind her ears.

He nodded, leaning forward, their mouths so close he could taste her vanilla lip gloss.
