Free Naughty Godmother by Chloe Cole

what you say now, I know only comes out for me. I want it all.”
    He gazed at her intently.
    “I’m sorry I deceived you but I’m not the kind of guy who believes in fairy tales. I thought it was all a prank. And even then, deep down, I knew better, I knew I was seeing the real you. This may sound crazy but I don’t care. I’m head over heels in love with you and the thought of never seeing you again makes me feel sick and hollow inside. Please, Holly. Please just give me a chance.”
    Love. He loved her. Dizzy with elation, she gave up on controlling the lip and let out an involuntary snuffle.
    He stood and pulled her into the warm circle of his arms. She pressed her forehead against his shoulder and tried to keep from sobbing. She could forgive him and he would be hers if she wanted. That was good. Really good.
    “It wasn’t pretend, you know,” he muttered into her hair. “At first, maybe. But the things we did together… I never allowed myself to go there with anyone else. It was never about making them shiver, it was just about making them come. You made me realize what I was missing. And what I was missing was you. If you never did another spell again, you’d still be pure magic.”
    Joy coursed through her at his words. Maybe she was just being stupid, naïve Holly, but she had faith in her heart he was telling the truth.

    She chuckled against his chest. “I still can’t believe you stole your nephew’s tooth for this. That’s a little coldhearted. Did you at least give him a dollar for it?”
    The nightstand lamp clicked and the room was bathed in warm light.
    Alex looked down at her, a gap-toothed smile wreathing his face. “Who said anything about stealing a tooth?”
    Her stomach did a little flip. “Oh my gosh, what did you do?”
    “Mila said the only way to summon a Tooth Fairy is to be in her territory, hide a tooth under your pillow and yearn for her. The first part worked out great since my sister lives here, and the last part was a piece of cake. The middle bit, not so much,” he said with a rueful smile. It faded quickly as his hazel eyes gazed into hers. “It was worth it though. I was a little worried that you wouldn’t think I was sexy anymore, but Mila said you can fix it.”
    “I can. The question is, will I? You look kind of cute like that.”
    “Whatever you want, Holly Tucket. As long as you’ll be my very own Naughty Godmother.”
    “Yes.”
    She pressed her lips to his, the thrill of it sending a tingle down her spine.
    Now that’s magic .
