Chapter 8

Wicked sat with Monica out on the deck while Thorne made some business phone calls. It was a beautiful evening, cool and crisp, but warm enough to sit outside and enjoy.

“I can’t believe you have a talking cat,” Monica said, wonder still threading through her words. “A funny one at that.”

“Oh, he’s a hoot.” Wicked grimaced, then chuckled. “He’s more of a pain in my ass.”

“Familiar?” Monica asked, curling her legs up underneath her.

“Yeah, some witches have familiars. I got Bruce.” Wicked sighed. “Though I wouldn’t trade him for the world, but don’t tell him that.”

“Well, I think it’s pretty cool.” Monica smiled, glancing her way. “I’ve never seen my brother happier.”

Okay, that sent her stomach rolling in a good way. “I bet he’s had a ton of girls. Tell me, what was a young Thorne like?”

Looking to make sure they were alone, Monica gave her a sneaky grin. “He was a momma’s boy.” She snickered, her eyes lighting up with the memory. “I swear my dad thought he was going to end up wearing dresses one day, but Thorne was known as a ladies’ man. He loved the ladies.”

A ping of jealousy settled in her chest. “Any serious relationships?”

“Not that I can recall, at least while I was around,” Monica said after taking a minute to think. “After our parents died, Thorne changed a little toward me. I guess I got a little resentful and became wild, hanging with the wrong group and definitely the wrong guys. But my brother was always there to pick me up, dust me off, and hold me tight.”

Wicked sighed, realizing more than ever how lucky she was to have someone like Thorne. She just hoped she didn’t fuck it up like she usually did.

Monica gave Wicked a serious look. “Treat him well, because witch or not, I will kick your ass if you hurt him.” The last part was said with a growl, and Wicked believed her.

“Noted.” Wicked gave her a nod. “And I know how lucky I am, and I really hope I don’t screw it up,” she admitted her thoughts aloud.

“Well, it would take a hell of a lot of screwing up on your part.” She snorted. “All he has done is talk about you, and I really don’t think he realizes it. It’s good to see him this happy for once.”

They sat in silence, each seeming to be lost in thought. Glancing over at Monica, Wicked realized how much they had in common. “I’m sorry this has happened to you.” Wicked leaned her head back, still looking toward Monica. “I’m always here if you need to talk.”

“Thank you,” Monica quietly replied as she stared up at the sky. After a moment, she sat straight up. “There is something you could do for me.”

“I already said name the color.” Wicked chuckled.

“Oh, I’m keeping that for a different time when I’m present to see his face.” Monica grinned. Stretching, she said, “I want a tattoo. I heard you were the best, and I’ve always wanted one.
