Chapter SIXTEEN-EMMET

Jezebel explained her abilities to me after her meeting with her deceased grandmother, and I was riveted.

My woman was so goddamn special. She sat there, her big blue eyes focused on me as she spoke her beautiful truth.

She had a job to do. A scary job, truth be told, but she didn’t seem afraid of it. Only of me leaving because of it.

Silly woman.

Didn’t she understand yet?

I. Was. Hers.

“You’re magic, Angel. Pure magic and whatever you need from me, you’ve got it. You’re mine, remember? My mate,” I whispered, reveling in the profundity of it all as I dragged her to me with my hands on her flushed cheeks.

The sweet scent of her arousal filled the air, and my cock thumped behind my jeans. She was so giving, so free with her feelings when it came to me.

An open book just waiting for me to read the pages of her heart. And I would. I did. I memorized them. Etched them into my fucking soul.

Christ, I loved this woman.
