Grady

The old saying is true, behind every good man there’s an incredible woman. - Grady Hammersmith

He totally deserved the elbow jab she delivered to his gut. Letting her go, he raked his fingers through his hair. More wood chips came loose, and his hand came away damp with a little blood. Must have hit his head harder than he thought. “Don’t worry about Karma. I’ll get the guys over here, and they’ll de-hex the trap. See, having me around is useful.”

Only, she wasn’t listening to him. Instead, she was running her hands over the shield. After shrugging off his jacket, he touched his earlobe to activate the communication spell. “Guys? Need some backup at the cabin in the woods.”

Instead of ribbing and ribald remarks from his team, Grady only heard silence. Touching his ear again, he focused his will. The twist of a communication spell had been taught to him in the cradle. Or so his parents always said, because how else were they supposed to handle his demanding appetite?

“Guys?”

Nothing.

Pursing his lips, Grady slanted a look toward Madison. She was testing the shield’s integrity using the sparks of lightning jumping from her fingertips. Every collision illuminated the shield as it dispersed the lightning.

“It’s a diamond,” he said, probably telling her what she already knew.

“No shit Spell-lock, any other great ideas you want to share?” The lightning shots gave way to fire, then to hard pounds of air and finally to ice. The ice shimmered over the diamond pattern, solidifying against the inside and giving them both a solid look at the intricacy of the work.

“Crafted by a master.” If he already had one foot in the grave, he might as well jump.

Though she didn’t look at him, she did tilt her head enough that he could imagine he had her attention. “Are you going to say anything useful or just try to bait me?”

“Not trying to bait you,” he said, then added. “Well, not totally. I just think better aloud.”

“Don’t want those thoughts to die of loneliness?” Was that a trace of a smile he could almost hear softening her words?

“Something like that.” Dragging his attention away from how good black looked on her slender form, Grady studied their makeshift prison. A cabin in the woods. Trapped by a spell. “It’s like Hansel and Gretel.”

“Except we’re not siblings, we didn’t get dropped off by a woodcutter, and we’re not trapped with a wicked witch.”

Talk about a buzzkill.

“Well, if you want to tear it all down,” he said, eyeing the heart-shaped bed. That thing was ridiculous. But was it comfortable? “We’re the witch hunters, and we’re trapped inside a magical cabin.”

“If you want to be specific, we walked into a trap, and I said it was a trap outside, but you didn’t listen.”

“Oh, I listened. I came to check it out. I was being manly and protective. I was going to take the hit for you. Not my fault you got all touchy.” Anticipating her next move, he blocked the pillow, which she’d flung at him from the bed and grinned.
