Havermouth, Six Years BeforeHeath parked on the street and wiped his palms on his jeans nervously, looking at the Salem house through the window.F-k, his stomach was doing flip-flops, making him feel nauseous as he approached the front door and rang the doorbell. What would Rhett’s reaction be? Heath’s fear kept his ribs tight around his lungs and made it hard to draw breath.He heard footsteps from inside, and then Mrs Salem opened the door with a bright smile. “Hi Heath, how are you today?”“Hi Mrs Salem. I’m good thanks.”“Rhett’s taking birthday privileges and sleeping in. I have to go,” she glanced at her watch. “Good luck getting him up.” She grabbed her purse off the hall table and pulled the door shut behind her. He heard her high heels clap over the porch and waited until he heard the car start before making his way through the house to Rhett’s room.He opened the bedroom door and breathed in, relishing the trapped scent of his mate. F-k, he was hard as he stepped into the
Havermouth, Present TimeHeath sat on the single bed and alternated between texting on his phone and surveying Aislen as she dressed in her newly arrived prizes. He raised his eyebrows as she wriggled into a lace dress and pirouetted in front of the mirror.“Needs a corset,” she decided diving back into the cupboard to find an under-bust.“And a slip?” He suggested. “I can see your panties.”“That’s sort of the point of a lace dress otherwise why would they make it out of lace?” She clipped the corset closed and then walked up to him. “Be a sweetie,” she put her foot between his legs, the pointed toe of her stilettos nudging his groin. “Do up the strap. I can’t bend over with the corset on.”He slid his hand down her calf, his eyes on hers, before he buckled the shoe. “Seeing your panties might not be so much an issue, if the panties weren’t themselves lace.”She smirked. “Two layers of lace make an opaque darling, everyone knows that.” She switched shoes and fixed the ribbon holding
Havermouth, Six Years BeforeCameron paused in his sawing to wipe the sweat out of his eyes, automatically scanning to see where Heath and Rhett were at. He frowned as he spotted them through the open door out onto the balcony. Rhett was working at prying up a broken floorboard and Heath squatted beside him, draping his arm over his shoulder, leaning into Rhett and murmuring something into his ear.Rhett’s face lit up, and he looked up from his task to Heath, his lips moving as he replied, their faces so close together that Cameron was sure that they would kiss. Heath’s eyes went to the door and met Cameron’s and he rose to his feet immediately, almost guiltily, walking over to lean in through the door. “Rhett and I thought we’d go grab the take-away and beer so we can work through until dark.”“Okay,” Cameron replied unhappily. He wasn’t invited. Again.“Alright. We’ll be back soon,” Heath turned. Behind him, Rhett was pulling on his t-shirt.Cameron watched as they walked past the w
Havermouth, Present TimeHeath parked in the main street. “I need to pick up some groceries,” he told her. “I am hoping that now that the pack thinks that you are a witch, and the fact that it’s a public place, you will be safe, but I cannot guarantee it. Stay at my side at all times, keep a sharp eye out, watch your back.”“Wow,” she looked at him. “You are really taking this seriously.”“You were shot by a policeman,” he pointed out. “They are not afraid of you, of the Triquetra, of the humans, Aislen. That is serious.”“That was before you told them that I was a witch though,” she reached for the doorhandle.“And is it a coincidence that the moment that I tell the pack that you’re a witch, you get hexed?”“Yeah, actually, I think it is,” she opened the door and stepped out. He mirrored her. “If I was hexed by someone who suspected that I also knew the craft,” she told him over the roof of the car as she closed the door and retrieved her sunglasses from her purse. “Then I would not
Havermouth, Five Years BeforeThe new girl smelled like the roses around the river house, Cameron thought. Not the sharp almost artificial stink of modern roses, but the rich, soft, seductive tones of roses whose origins were hundreds of years old, and which had not been interfered with in the human search for the perfectly marketable product, but which retained their original beauty as nature had intended.Her skin was like a rose petal, soft looking and flawless in texture. Combined with a head of glossy brunette ringlets and blue eyes, she had made his heart stutter the moment that she’d entered the room. She’d edged her way to the empty desk next to him, and slid into the seat, eyes lowered, and her books clutched almost defensively against her chest.She wore an oversized, ugly school jumper, sleeves rolled back, and the fade on her uniform skirt clearly identified it as having gone through the second hand shop several times. She was rounded in the way of a perfectly ripe piece o
Havermouth, Present Time“Wolfsbane is…” Heath fought back his laughter shaking his head. “Aislen… Honey,” he succumbed and covered his face with his hands as it exploded from him. “I’m sorry. But if wolfsbane was an issue for werewolves, then we’d all be dead. It grows wild in the mountains that we run through regularly.”“Well, duh,” she replied, irritated. “But someone is trying to hex me, Heath, so when my werewolf boyfriend buys me flowers and I’m handed wolfsbane, I have to wonder if it’s a coincidence or something else.”“You think Lauren is a witch?” He snickered. “Lauren’s harmless and human.”“Since I’ve come to town, I can count the people outside of the Triquetra, Talen and Tyler that I have regular contact with on one hand. June because of Guy, Diana because of my caffeine addiction, and Lauren,” Aislen replied as they got out of the car. “Now Lauren has gone out of her way to be friendly, and people just don’t do that with me.”“That’s…” He sighed. “Sad. Maybe she just w
Havermouth, Five Years BeforeRhett stared at the girl under the fall of his hair. F-k. He’d laughed off Cameron’s infatuation, but… f-k. He could imagine sinking his teeth into that creamy skin, feeling her tongue on his c-ck, and the smoosh of her curves beneath his body was what wet dreams were made for… She’d be like a marshmallow, and he wanted to lick every inch of her, feel her sticky sweetness melt across his tongue…Get that f-king oversized jumper off her and he imagined that the breasts that it hid would explain the curves of her hips and thighs. Oh, f-k, the thighs on her… He wanted to feel them clench around his face as he gnawed on her clit…He wanted to smear his come over her face, he wanted to make her gag on his c-ck, he wanted to f-k her so hard that he felt her cervix give.He wanted to do things to her, deprived, dirty unnamed things…He was sure that his smile was wolfish, but the girl didn’t seem to notice, blushing and hunching her shoulders, letting her thick,
Havermouth, Present TimeAislen’s restless fidgeting increased the closer that they got to the river house and Heath tried to push down the ache that gnawed in his sternum. “We are working on the garden,” he said as he turned in the gate, seeking to relieve the growing tension with conversation. “There’s an argument whether to restore the formal gardens that were original to the house, or to do something more natural and lower maintenance.”“Oh.”“We will probably have to hire a landscaper to decide the matter for us,” he pressed the button to activate the roller door of the garage to the side of the house.“This is new,” she said as he pulled up in his space.“Needed somewhere to park the cars.”“And the tractor,” she nodded towards it. “I’m guessing that’s Cameron’s as it isn’t precisely your or Rhett’s style.”He laughed, but his laughter sounded tight and forced to his own ears. “Come on,” he got out of the car and went to the rear of the car to collect the groceries.
