The rest of the evening saw me sitting at the kitchen table, reading (sort of), playing with crystals and rocks (sort of), and crushing up herbs with a mortar and pestle and refilling jars Patrick gave to me.

“More. It has to be full.”

“When are you ever going to need seventeen cups of dried gooseberries ground up into dust?” My hands were cramped, and I was getting a blister from the repetitive motion of pulverizing the dried berries.

“The jar was almost empty, wasn’t it?”

I stared at him as he walked back to his chair in the living room. Hate percolated up through my stomach into my throat where I conjured up nasty thoughts and cruel words.

But I didn’t speak any out loud.

And any scenario I had of trying to do Patrick harm evaporated, only to be replaced by his nearly naked body.

I couldn’t stay mad at him. And that frustrated the hell out of me.

Maintaining my anger around him was impossible. Daddy Patrick could summon it out of me in a heartbeat, but I found myself being more attracted to him than I could ever be angry with him.

“Fuck me.” I grumbled.

Patrick sat near the fire he had conjured in the hearth. Argus lay on his pillow, and the demon pterodactyl sat on its perch, preening itself.

I glanced over, and for a split second, I thought I saw the smallest of grins.

He was enjoying this. Perhaps a little too much.
