🕑 Added 2020-09-02 15:41:28 +0000 UTCI thought I'd share with you a few *unedited* things from the upcoming book, Wicked Magic! These few lines/scenes stood out to me, so I thought you might enjoy them, too!

I make it to speech to find Silas standing near the doorway with his hands folded over his chest, looking grumpy as hell—his usual.
“Why are you always so mad?” I plant my lips on his cheek.
“I’m not. That’s just my face.”
I laugh. “Did you make a joke?”
“No, I’m serious.”
Of course, he is, he’s always serious.

He let's go but then quickly puts his arm around my shoulder, pulling me close. "That thing really doesn't hurt?"
I peak at him out of the corner of my eye. He totally knows I’m lying. “It doesn’t feel great.”
“Why didn’t you tell him?”
I shrug. “He’s supposed to be some great healer. Maybe I’m defective.”
Cam laughs out loud and it’s fucking adorable, his bright white teeth showing. “If that’s true, then what does that make me?”
“Perfect,” I whisper.
He comes to a complete stop, spinning around and clamping onto my shoulders. “Willow Oliver, did you say that I was perfect?”
I roll my lips in to seal my mouth shut.
He grins wide and grabs my face, kissing me on the forehead, then the cheek, the other cheek, my chin, my nose, the top of my head. “You really know how to steal a guy’s heart, don’t you?”
Little does he know—he already has mine.
A few more smooches later, he finishes. "See you and the girls later for post-school snacks?"
“With you cooking, I wouldn’t miss it.” I attempt to wink at him.
Cameron giggles. “You really need to work on that.” He starts walking backward, still facing me. “No getting hurt today, deal?”
“I’ll do my best.”

It’s passion and desperation and longing and it is everything.
We lock gazes and his energy bubbles through me, the sadness, the aching darkness almost too much to bear.
Only not too long ago, our touch caused him an unbearable pain, and now, the high from the slightest hint of closeness drives me wild in all the best ways.
