Magic is her gift ( Prince’s Love) Chapter 13
Who was your first? Obviously, it wasn’t your ex.” Was it one of the people who had made fun of her?She paled.Just like that, the mask slipped back into place and her defense mechanism shot up like a wall—a far better sight than the defeated person she used to be. He knew that the defeated part had only been in the beginning as Brian didn’t peg him as a person who let any kind of defeat last long. When she finally spoke, her voice was as cool as ever.“An ex-pirate. He helped me navigate around the treacherous seas when I was still an inexperienced traveler and had to do missions for the council.”To prove myselfwas left unsaid.“I see.”Her chin lifted, green eyes studying him. The quiet sweep was thorough and made his body stand on attention.“How did you teach Yu our language so fast?” she asked.“Call it a magic specialty. Em?”“What?”“The kiss…”“I was taking the hypnosis out of you. That’s all it was.”Shut down before he could even say anything, which was just as well. Mabel s

Heavens, she was beautiful, in a way most of his peers were but with an untouchable quality that appealed to him all the more. Before he could dissect it, a crack snatched his attention. Then the branch snapped.“Oh—”“I got you,” he repeated, arm shooting up and grabbing another branch on the way down. Pain raced down his shoulder, but he ignored it as his shield wrapped around them like a bubble, then reached up to other branches. Slowly, he cajoled it up until they were floating to the top of the trees. “I guess the best solution is multiple branches supporting our weight.”“Right.”Her voice so close to his ear had him registering that she was flat on the bubble with him on top of her. He gulped at the closeness, then bit back a groan when she wriggled to get away. When Mabel locked her legs with his, she stiffened.“Don’t move too much. I’m still…steadying the shield.”“Okay.”There was no need to tell her that he was steadying his hormones, too, before he made a fool of himself.

You can’t fly up here?” she asked.“High. Tiring. Can in a group.”He shuddered at the thought of the pixie horde returning while Yu was unfazed. Brian bit her lip.“Are you safe down there for the night?” she asked again.“Safe,” Yu assured. “Sleep while safe.”“I guess it means he’s safe there too,” Mabel reasoned. “Yu, make a sound when you’re in trouble. Wake us up.”“Yes.”Mabel closed his eyes, listening as Brian and Yu went on talking about their path tomorrow and Yu kept assuring her that he was fine where he was. Her voice was soft, trusting Yu completely. He would have warned her if he didn’t trust the pixie.Instead, he continued letting her voice wash over him, a soft lull that weaved into his weary body and finally knocked him out. It was a seamless, dreamless sleep until shaking woke him up.“Up! Wake up! Wake—”The voice—Yu’s voice—cut off in an instant while the bubble shook. But it wasn’t just the bubble.The whole forest was shaking.Brian woke up to a soft shaking o

“Okay.”There was no need to tell her that he was steadying his hormones, too, before he made a fool of himself. But he also strengthened his shield, thickening it.“How does that work?” she asked. “Me and Yu getting in while it blocks others?”“Intention. You and Yu have no intention to kill me. The moment you do, the shield will kick you out.”“Oh.” She made an envious sound. “I wish I had the same shield.”“You have your magic, which is far cooler,” he pointed out. She wrinkled her nose, a cute gesture that drew him nearer before he remembered himself. “This will protect us for the night. Unless you want us to rest on separate branches.”He watched her consider it, a brief moment as she looked down at the thinner branches covering them below, then the night sky filling up with stars above. Slowly, she shook her head, her expression somber.“That’s not a good idea.”“It isn’t?”“Sirens and pixies can’t seem to stay away from you, so I’m taking it upon myself to be your repugnant shi

“My friend,” Mabel amended, glaring at her. “I’ve come to free her and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.”Confidence rang in his tone and spread over his features, his smirk ever-present. The giant frowned, her face clearer now and the rocky parts gone. Then the giant walked over to them and Mabel’s smirk dropped when the large hand scooped them up, bypassing the shield altogether.“Damn it—”They were crushed in darkness and each other then slammed into another empty cage hanging from the ceiling. She groaned when the iron bars hit her back. Before the cage could be slammed shut, Mabel’s slipped out and landed more smoothly on the table. He held up his hands when the giant tried to scoop him up again, pissed off.“Wait!”“You—”“I’m a mystical magic prince and I can entertain you.”Brian threw him an incredulous look, hissing. “You will get yourself killed, you idiot. Run.”“See now, she was my companion when we first landed here, so our connection’s short and she doesn’t know a

It prevents us from moving the cage around.” She watched awareness sink into his face as he peered down at the boiling water near the cage’s floor. Already, she could feel the heat of it on her feet and had to tiptoe. “Or kicking it open.”For the first time, Mabel didn’t have a comeback to that. But he scrutinized the door and swung from the cage ceiling, kicking it a few times to no avail. When that didn’t work, he body slammed it until she glimpsed flickers of pain in his features.“Stop,” she called out, then pulled his shoulder when he didn’t listen. “Stop.”“I have to get us out.”A hiss came from his lips, riddled with pain. This time, she inserted herself as a shield and caught the magic as he abruptly stopped charging—another confirmation that he wouldn’t hurt her. But the momentum flattened them on the bars and he growled.“I hurt you. Em, I’m hurting you.”She shook her head. Quietly, she climbed up when her feet couldn’t take the heat from the floor and waited until he did

Really?”She opened her mouth, then closed it. She abandoned some internal battle as she finally nodded. “Really. Not because I loved him but because I wanted to dangle him in my ex's face. Not because I loved my ex, either, but because I wanted to prove to him that he didn’t break me like he thought he did. It was a silly motivation.”“A good motivation,” he corrected. “I would have been way more petty.”“You’re a magic,” she pointed out. “You guys are petty.”regret the magical pact?”“No.”“That’s the spirit.” A dreadful feeling slithered in, wiping his smirk away. “Is the dragon your husband now?”“No. My oldest sister was opposed to it and tried to stop it. She ended up marrying him to protect me and…” A small smile played on her lips. “They’re still together now. And thriving. It’s crazy how things work out.”“It is,” he murmured, watching that smile. His fingers itched, so he crossed his arms tighter. “Tell me another secret.”She raised a brow, and he knew she wanted to point

The pixie zipped through the commotion below, face lighting up at the sight of Mabel. Yu heaved the bag in his hands higher, then paused to turn back to the wrestling giants below. When Wilson pushed his head out again, Yu pulled open the bag—and out came a glittery explosion of powder that hit the giant right in the face.“Rescue you,” Yu announced proudly just as Wilson toppled to the ground. Now it wasn’t just Mabel’s shouts they heard but others as a stampede of stomping feet climbed the stairs.“It’s open.”The two men whipped their heads to gape at the portal shimmering before Brian, essentially located over the long drop. The roof shook again, harder than ever as Mabel was pushed aside and more giant hands came out to capture them.“Jump,” Mabel said.“You first,” Brian returned.“Me first!” Yu exclaimed, already flying into the portal and winking out of sight.Green eyes widened, noticing the pixie for the first time. She broke into a grin. He took her hand.“Jump together?”B

Giovanni waves it off with a dismissive gesture. "That happens in offices. It's important not to get carried away with things."I feel a surge of jealousy, but I also like that he doesn't seem interested in her. He gets a mischievous glint in his eyes and comes over to sit on the edge of my desk."Why do you seem so upset about it?" he asks, leaning closer."No reason," I lie, looking away from him. But he leans even closer, his breath warm on my cheek as he teases me about my possible jealousy."Never thought of it, but maybe I'll go for it," he teases me further, his voice low and dangerous. "It would be cheaper than hiring a prostitute, and she definitely seems like she'd put out."My blood boils, and I glare at him with rage in my eyes, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks. He has the audacity to grab my chin, brushing his thumb against my lips as if he's daring me to say something."Are you jealous?" he asks again, a devilish smirk playing on his face."Absolutely not," I snap, try

"Of course," I reply, trying to maintain my composure.She downs the rest of her wine, a rosy flush spreading across her cheeks. "That was delicious. It's been ages since I've enjoyed a glass like that – you should know, I'm a bit of a lightweight.""Marvelous," I say sarcastically, and she grins – then, unexpectedly, she reaches up and boops me on the nose. Her playfulness catches me off guard, but I smile in response.Setting her empty glass on a nearby table, she slips off her shoes and places them on the stone steps leading to the garden. "What are you doing?" I"I want to feel the grass beneath my feet," she replies, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Life is all about getting a little dirty, don't you think?"As she runs barefoot through the garden, laughter bubbling from her lips, I watch her with a mixture of admiration and desire. There's something about her – not just her body, but her mind and spirit – that captivates me. In her presence, my rigid, work-driven life seems to l

Something tells me you do listen, Teddy," I say to him, my eyebrow raised.He shrugs and gives me an innocent smile."Thanks, Teddy," I say gratefully. "You're seriously the best."He smiles, but his eyes betray his exhaustion. "I should probably go to bed. Had a tough night.""Goodnight, Teddy," I reply, watching him leave the kitchen.After finishing whatever I found in the fridge, I start to head back to my room. As I walk down the hallway, curiosity gnaws at me. What is Giovanni up to right now? My heart rate picks up, and a flush of arousal spreads through me as I tiptoe toward his room. The idea of catching him with another woman both disgusts and excites me. I try his door, and once again, it's open. Why doesn't he lock it? Does he not consider that someone might pose a threat in this mansion? He should never underestimate me.A dark thought crosses my mind – the kitchen is full of knives, and his door remains unlocked at night. But no, that's not who I am. I won't resort to vi

"Actually, yeah," she admits, brushing a stray curl from her forehead. "I am.""Great. There's a mall across the street. Let's grab some lunch at the food court and talk about the job." I gesture for her to follow, and she does.As we make our way down the elevator, the hum of the machinery filling the small space, and she studies me with a curious expression. "You know, I'm surprised you're a food court kind of guy.""What do you mean?" I ask, raising anShe gestures vaguely, taking me in – my designer suit, the sleek building we're descending through, the aura of power that seems to cling to me like a second skin. "You just seem more... upscale restaurant than cafeteria, if you catch my drift."The elevator door slides open, and I shrug as we step out into the mirrored hallway. "Food courts are efficient. Normally, I'd send my assistant across to the mall to get me something, then bring it back so I can work through lunch.""Ah," she says, her voice a mix of understanding and disapp

My hands ball into fists as I pace the room, the plush carpet beneath my feet doing little to soothe my nerves. My mind races, a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions threatening to overwhelm me. But beneath it all, there's a kernel of determination that won't be extinguished."Next time," I promise myself, even as tears prick at the corners of my eyes. "Next time, I'll get away."ChapterEightWith a heavy sigh, I slide back into the driver's seat of my sleek black car, the irritation coursing through my veins. Lulu's incessant escape attempts - as futile as they are - have me spending far too much time in this godforsaken mansion. My penthouse in the city beckons to me, but she refuses to cooperate."Damn her stubbornness," I mutter under my breath as I drive up the curving driveway, the tires crunching over the gravel. The guy carrying her back to her room follows closely behind.As soon as I step out of the car, the grandiosity of the mansion looms over me, its imposing presence a con

She tells him how glad she is that he called, how much she missed him. His response is harsh and biting: "Shut up."I'm taken aback by his coldness, wondering what kind of woman would willingly subject herself to such treatment. But she only giggles, seemingly unfazed. He slaps her ass. "Shut up and take it like the whore you are." Slowly, he pushes his cock into her asshole, her moans making it clear that she loves every inch of it.I stand there, transfixed. I've never seen anal sex before, never even considered it. But seeing Giovanni at the center of it all, dominating this woman with such raw intensity, it's undeniably hot.No, not hot. I'm here to find something to use against him, I remind myself. But my fingers itch to touch myself, to bring relief to the ache that has settled deep within me.A slow feeling of electricity courses through my body, warming my veins and leaving me breathless with anticipation. My skin prickles with desire, and I am aware of every sensation around

The blissful silence shatters as an alarm pierces the air. Panic grips my chest, and I stumble in my haste. My ankle twists beneath me, sending a bolt of searing pain up my leg. I curse under my breath, clenching my teeth as I try to push through the agony and make my escape."Damn it," I hiss, realizing that my attempted flight is short-lived. Almost immediately, a burly man emerges from the mansion, his eyes locked onto me with hawk-like precision. He's the rover, one of Giovanni's loyal enforcers—a massive, intimidating figure who seems to move with an eerie silence despite his size."Hey!" I shout, fists clenched. "Do you seriously have nothing better to do than chase after me?"He doesn't reply, instead closing the distance between us in a matter of seconds. Before I can react, he scoops me up effortlessly, as though I weigh nothing more than a feather. I kick and scream, pounding on his back in a futile attempt to"Put me down, you brute!" I demand, but he remains silent, carryi

The sun hangs high in the sky as I stand next to my father near the docks in Miami. My heart races, and for the first time in a long time, I feel excited about this meeting. As the oldest, it's something I've always wanted – to be included in the family business, to prove to my father that just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't run the Manuel Syndicate as well as any man.A salty breeze blows through my curly hair, carrying with it the scent of seaweed and diesel fumes from the fishing boats swaying gently in their berths. The squawking of seagulls mixes with the distant hum of traffic as they search for scraps of food among the detritus littering the dockside, creating a cacophony of life."Lucia, pay attention," my father chides, snapping me backA man approaches us, his dark hair slicked back and his darker features giving away a lifetime of experience. I eye him up and down, taking in every detail, before he introduces himself as Axe. My father waves off his introduction wi

You can keep that truth to yourself. I have plenty of others to share,” she countered.“Many supplied by me,” I interjected. “The perk of working so closely with your many high-powered campaign donors.”“There’s no proof.” Harris narrowed his eyes at the both of us. “Not a single paper trail would lead to me.”“You’re forgetting the kind of influence I have over humans. What I could promise for a few small favors.” I gave him a crooked smile to remind him of what I“And what am I supposed to do, then? What about all the good I have done for the community?” He was starting to scramble. “The charities or beautification projects that I personally founded to make this state a better place? Were those things for nothing?”The thing about ambition is that it can be blinding,” I said. I looked down at Evie and cupped her cheek to bring her eyes to mine for a moment before finishing my last point to Harris. We both needed the moment of connection. “No matter how good your intentions are, you’v
