The other, a sexy
Aussie that makes you forget all the rest.
That’s Catherine Bank’s warlock problem. She will have to
choose between the two of them. Will she marry either, or end it all in a spell
battle that will bring Las Vegas to its knees. Only time will tell. No one
knows the mind of a witch better than herself. Unless, she falls in love.
From Chapter 3 of Never
Cross A Warlock
I slid out of my bar chair faster than I’d ever made an
exit. I had to regroup. Nothing like a quiet bathroom stall to clarify your
thoughts.
I made it through the bathroom door and stumbled into an
empty stall. Sitting on the toilet, a stream of tears burst forth. Once I
started, I couldn’t stop. I let it happen. Nothing like a good purge to get some
sense back into a girl. Was I really ready for a life with Jeff? I felt the
soul binding telling me he was the one to stick it out through thick and thin.
But then, I thought so with Rich, too. But he’d never done the soul-binding
spell. Just the marriage spell, and then we went on a shopping spree, buying
houses, cars, and anything else that he thought my money, and now his, could
buy. I was so stupid. He was such a cock suck up.
I heard a knock on my stall door. “You okay in there?”
I snuffled, using some toilet paper to clean up the snot
from my nose.
“Yeah. Men suck.” I wouldn’t say warlocks. This was a mixed
club.
“I agree with you there, girl. Just let me know if you need
something.”
I blew my nose a couple of times, wiping off any excess,
then stood, straightened my dress, and flushed all the tissue down the toilet.
There. My man tears were spent. Time to move on and try to make a decision. I
opened the stall door and saw the attendant ready to hand me a towel.
I added a quick “Thank you” before dabbing at my streaked
make-up. I was going to have to do some reapplying.
“Sometimes this is the best place to come and let it all
out, dear,” added the attendant.
“I’m totally embarrassed,” I said as I tried to make
something out of my raccoon eyes. I’d just gone old-fashioned tonight. No added
spells instead of make-up. I liked going all natural, as I called it. I really
didn’t need spell enhancing, and was proud of that. Not every witch could claim
to have a spell-free appearance. I started going through my purse for items to
reapply and make better the mess on my face. My brown hair kept flopping in
front of my eyes. It was getting distracting.
“Don’t be. I get a lot of woman crying out their man
problems in here.”
“Hear any good solutions?” I started to reapply some liner,
giving up on the mascara. I figured just adding more base and rouge would make
me presentable again.
“Yes. Most of the answers involve kicking the scoundrels out
of their lives, or forgiving them. I’m guessing one of those options might fit
yours.”
“It does in one case.” I laughed. Throwing Rich out of my
life would seem fit, if I lived through his retaliation. “I think getting rid
of him is the best option.” I smiled at the thought of it.
“Oh, girl, two men. That’s always a problem.” The attendant
smiled, leaving me to my make-up repairs. Just then, a toilet flushed and the
stall opened. In the mirror, I recognized the woman exiting. It was Cassandra.
I wasn’t sure how much she’d heard. She came up to the sink
next to me, rinsing her hands. My lips pursed, and I tried to play it coy. I
looked in the mirror to touch up my rouge, but I saw my cheeks were plenty red
without it. Maybe she wouldn’t notice it was me.
“Cat?” Her voice actually sounded surprised.
Shit. “Cassandra?”
