Chapter 14

He solved the problem of transporting the book with vegetation and soil. Not of the earth meant the book could be contained by burying it. Drust conjured a wooden box, filled it with soil, sand and muck from the Everglades and leaves and buried the book inside the box in Lacey’s trunk.

When he coaxed her back to the car, he was pleased to see relief on her face. “I don’t hear it anymore and my car seems purged.” Her nostrils flared. “It smells like fresh air and sunshine. What did you do?”

“Magick,” he said briefly. “Give me your cell phone.”

When she did, he added a number into her contacts and handed it back. She glanced at him with an amused smile.

“I’m impressed wizard. You know about cell phones.”

“A necessary evil of these times. Drive to the west coast, and call when you arrive. I’ll see about housing.”

A couple of hours later, Lacey pulled up in front of the beachfront house he’d rented. He’d arranged the transaction through Adrian Williams, a local and powerful alpha wolf who knew the area, a Lupine Tristan trusted immensely. Drust did not wish any Other to know a powerful wizard inhabited the property.

Lacey’s jaw dropped when she climbed out of the car and slammed the door shut. “Whoa. This is yours?”

He shrugged. “Ours, for the next ten days.”

“It’s perfect. A dream house. I mean, I was looking on my phone…” Her eyes narrowed. “You saw the beach houses I was bookmarked. There were a few I’d been looking at, just to dream about staying in places like that.”

“No longer a dream.” Drust opened the back door to take her suitcase. The book remained in the trunk, isolated in its wooden box.

“But this house… it’s like $1200 a night!”

“And private, and on the beach. Do not worry about the money, Lacey.”

Her look was far too cynical for her years. “Easy for you to say, Drust. But for now, I’ll take you at your word.”

The three-story house, directly on the beach, was designed to look like a seaside palace. The green and turquoise walls and accents, combined with blue and turquoise accent pieces, white seashells in glass containers and sea paintings on the wall, had the feeling of being underwater.

Lacey’s shoulders lost their tension soon as they entered. The dining table was clear glass, with light turquoise fabric chairs, and the kitchen featured sparkling stainless appliances with teak cabinets, as if the kitchen were a galley on a large yacht. A distressed wood turquoise cabinet in the kitchen added to the soft blue, green and turquoise hues.

Windows in the kitchen let in plenty of natural sunlight, giving an added airy feeling.

She gazed at the two white leather sofas and the turquoise easy chair overlooking the splendid vista of white sandy beach and the serene Gulf of Mexico beyond. “Is this really where I’m going to stay?”

Drust set down her suitcase. “Make yourself at home.”

Lacey ran for the sofa and flopped down on it. “Wheee! This is amazing! It feels like a cloud.
