Drake practically threw the door off the hinges trying to get into Vicky’s apartment. This was madness. Maybe if he hadn’t been harboring feelings for this witch for years, her spell wouldn’t be having this effect on him. It probably ignited the desire he’d been hiding.

But he couldn’t be with her. He was an enforcer. She was a matchmaker. He opposed everything she did—it was his job. It would never work. Stop thinking about it, he scolded himself.

She kicked off her shoes and took him by the hand, leading him to the couch in the middle of the apartment. She paused. “Should we be doing this?”

“I’m wondering the same thing.” He ran his free hand through his hair. Then he got another look at her plump lips, her golden blond hair, those big green eyes. He gulped. “It doesn’t feel like we have a choice at this point.”

“I think you’re right,” she said.

He pulled her to him and kissed her. Once the spell was broken they’d be back to hating each other. Unable to face each other ever again, they’d avoid one another at all costs. But for now? There was nothing he could do to stop himself.

They tumbled onto the couch, and he stroked her hair. “I always wondered what your hair felt like.” He kissed the strand coiled around his finger. “Is this all you, or are you charmed from head to toe?” he asked.

“I was wondering the same thing about you.”

“What you see is what you get,” he said proudly.

“Everything? Those muscles? Those eyes?” she asked.

He laughed. “Maybe someday I’ll need a little help, but right now this is all me. And it’s all yours.”

She groaned.

“What about you?” he asked.

“It’s not my hair color. I change it from time to time.”

“That’s right. You were a redhead when you were little. Let me see your real hair.”

She closed her eyes and mumbled the simple spell that turned her hair from blond to its normal color.

“I think it’s beautiful,” he said, reaching out to touch it. “Always did. It’s like a fiery halo around your face.” Damn, what had this spell done to him—turned him into a poet?

“So, what does it feel like?” she asked.

He rubbed her hair between his fingers. “Soft. I bet it would be like a silk sheet against my back.”

She ran her tongue across his bottom lip. “We’ll have to find out later.”

He nudged her nose with his. “Not too much later. Once this spell wears off, I’m sure you’ll push me out the door. How long do you think it’ll last?”

She lifted a shoulder. “That was a true-blue love spell. It’s meant to bind soul mates together forever.”

He blinked a few times. Forever? He’d never imagined being with anyone forever. What if the two of them were bound together for eternity? Then he’d be the luckiest witch around, he thought.

“I suppose it’ll be broken when someone from the Council tracks us down and reverses it,” she said with a sigh.

“Then I won’t let them through the door.
