CHAPTER SIX

Michael gave the bronze a little magical poke. Then a harder one. “It appears magic is out. Which means he can’t free himself—at least not anytime soon.” He looked at me with a mischievous glint in his eye. “Who knew you had it in you? You’ve gone and bronzed a demon. Dad’ll be tickled.”

“You cannot tell your father about this. What will he think?” Then I lifted my palm to my forehead and thumped myself. First, I was not actually marrying Michael, so what did I care about impressing Mr. Kelly? And second, Patrick Kelly would love it. The man would buy me a whiskey. Hell, a distillery.

“I think you know exactly what he’d think. Come on. I’ve been in a bit of a slump, so this will really cheer him up.”

“You guys and the mayhem-making. You do know that stuff gives your sister conniptions, right?” Poor Livy. I was surprised she didn’t have an ulcer what with everything the Kellys put her through. Then I groaned. “Your father can’t tell Livy. She’ll just die when she finds out who I am. I have to be the one to tell her.” My gaze drifted to the bronzed Prince of Darkness and Destruction. “And she really can’t know about that. I mean him.”

“The bronzing? Or that you were engaged to the biggest douche in hell?”

I pinned him with a nasty look, but he was too busy taking pictures and texting to notice. “Either, Michael, and I’m serious.”

Michael snapped a picture, then started to type a text. “Neither will be devastating. She should have told you about her situation.” He looked up, met my gaze, and said, “That she and her horribly incorrigible family are leprechauns.”

I grinned. He really was cute—and trainable. Aw. Just like a puppy. “Except I already knew about you guys.”

“Yeah, maybe keep that to yourself until some of this blows over. But generally speaking, Jackson has really mellowed her out. Not so much that she wants to participate, and we still need to make sure the wedding goes down without a hitch, but she doesn’t seem nearly so touchy these days.”

“Touchy?”

Michael looked up from his phone with a guilty expression. “Ah, I didn’t mean it that way. I actually kind of get where she’s coming from. But you have to admit, some of the things that stress her out really aren’t that big of a deal.”

I gave him a disapproving look. “The Marfa lights?”

He held up his hands. “Not me. Besides, that turned out okay, right?” His phone pinged with a text. Once he read it, he grinned at her. “Dad wants to buy you a drink.”

Suddenly my head felt like it might explode. “If only my dad felt the same way.”

“How could he not?” Michael took another picture. “This is great. This is pretty sophisticated magic.”

“If you say so, but I didn’t actually mean to do it.”

Michael shrugged. “Either way, this took talent. I also suspect you have more control than you realize.” He pocketed his phone, focusing all his attention on me.
