Chapter 17

“What do you believe?” Fiona asked.

Because he did not really have an answer, Bailey nuzzled her neck, his hands in her thick, soft hair. “You smell like a field of wildflowers.”

“Eva Grace mixes soaps and fragrances for each of us.” She sighed as he trailed his fingers down her side. “Each of us has our own personal scent.”

“Your Eva Grace is a genius—a healer as well as a perfumer.” Bailey cupped Fiona’s cheek with one hand, turning her toward him. Her dark hair fell around her face like a halo. Her smile was slow and sexy. She looked like a wood nymph, at least what he thought a wood nymph would look like. Remembering all she had told him about her hometown, he wondered if there really were wood nymphs.

Instead of asking her about creatures who might be roaming outside right now, he said, “Are you all right? Do you need anything?”

“I’m perfect,” she said and smiled at him. “Now, let’s go back a step. What do you believe?”

He got up, retrieved a bottle of water from the small refrigerator, and opened it before he handed it to her.

Fiona pushed herself up, modestly holding the sheet to her chest as she took the water. She drank, her appreciative gaze on Bailey’s body.

He chuckled. “If you keep looking at me like that, I’m going to forget that until moments ago you were a tender virgin.”

“First, you have to answer me.”

Sighing, he got back into bed, took the bottle of water she offered and polished it off. Then he pulled Fiona gently to his side and settled back against the pillows. “I have to admit that’s the first time I’ve ever made love to a woman who quite literally glowed. I felt like a god.”

“A minor or major deity?”

“Major,” he assured her with a grin.

She laid her head against his chest. “And?”

Knowing he could not dodge her any longer, Bailey said, “I believe you have some very interesting abilities.”

She tipped her head back to look at him. “That sounded reluctant.”

“How is someone supposed to sound when they learn the woman they’ve made love to is a witch and he knows there are werewolves and coyote shape shifters roaming the countryside?”

“I’m talking about Anna.” Fiona pushed herself up on one elbow, her gaze intent on his. “What do you believe about her?”

He frowned. “I guess I’m confused. One part of me thinks that if her spirit had the ability to reach out, she should have talked to me a long time ago.”

“I told you it’s not easy. Some ghosts linger for years and years, never able to express themselves to the people they care most about. I may see them, other people may see the evidence that they exist, but the path between the two realms is not always clear.”

“You said a demon made me see her today.”

Fiona explained again about her family’s curse, the Woman in White, and the demon that came to torture the town and her family each generation.

“Couldn’t the demon also be making you see her?” Bailey asked.
