Beth woke to a world of fire and pain. Every cell in her body felt like its own mini nuclear explosion, and she couldn’t help the soft groan that forced its way past her lips.

The sound allowed her to focus, though, and breathing through the pain, she forced her mind to cooperate. Sluggishly at first, but gaining speed, it pulled up memories of the deal with the werewolves going bad, her getting clawed and the long ride back as the poison worked its way through her body, attacking her link to the core of her magic.

She frowned, eyes still closed. The memory of pulling her bike into the garage was crystal clear, but then things started to get hazy. She knew she’d made it down to the basement to start casting healing spells, but those memories were all mixed up with the memory of a man holding her. More than holding her…he’d been kissing her, his big hands moving over her body, inciting feelings she didn’t want or need at the moment. His lips were carnal temptation itself and then his hand had swept up further, her body arching to urge him on…

The memories after that disintegrated into an inferno of pain. She reached for her magic to try and soothe it, only to find the access blocked. Her eyes snapped open to look up at her living room ceiling and she took a deep breath to force down her panic. She just needed to try it again, sometimes if she was tired or ill, it didn’t come when called.

Yeah, but that hadn’t happened in years, the little voice in the back of her head whispered, and it was right. She hadn’t had problems since she’d reached adulthood. Worry wormed its way through her veins. If she couldn’t reach her magic, she was fucked.

Male voices reached her ears and she froze. Keeping her hand pressed to her injured side, she rolled over carefully and put her feet on the floor. Both voices were deep, with a rumble that told her neither was human, but only one was familiar and tugged at something deep inside her.

The face of the guy who’d been tailing her filled her mind’s eye, quickly followed by the memory of kissing him at the museum. Hard on the heels of that memory, her mind added the fractured images of her dream man and she sucked in a hard breath.

It hadn’t been a dream. That had been him. Heat and another, indefinable feeling, thrilled through her at the memory. He’d found her in the basement and kissed her like both their lives depended on it. Like they were the last people on the face of the planet and he couldn’t get enough of her.

It was intoxicating, delicious, and utterly addictive.

She looked down, realizing that her wound was dressed and bound more professionally than the kitchen towel she’d been using. And it was no longer bleeding. A frown creased her brow. The wound was magical and it had taken most of her energy to get the bleeding to slow down.
