Free Sassy Ever After: A Witchingly Sassy Seduction (Kindle Worlds Novella) by Mychal Daniels

As soon as her words bloomed into existence, her senses expanded exponentially. “Do you feel that?” she asked him, wondering if she might be hallucinating.
    “Aye, I do.”
    “What is that?”
    “It’s you, love. You’re waking up to your fullness.” He bent down to kiss her lips with a tender graze as he continued, “Don’t you know?”
    “Know what?”
    “You opened your heart to receive me. You love me.”
    “Yes, but you don’t have to be so damn smug and cocky about it.” He laughed. “What, why are you laughing at me at a time like this?”
    “Because you are so amazingly beautiful in your innocence and purity.”
    “But I’m not a, you know, virgin.”
    “I know, but you are when it comes to unlocking your power.”
    “What? I’m not following you.”
    He leaned back, a hint of something akin to disbelief skittered across his expression. Yes, her eyesight had improved that much. She could see, feel, smell, hear, and even taste everything to a greater degree. The air tasted of anticipation and she wanted relief and consummation.
    “You mean your mother never told you this?”
    “Evidently not. I’m clueless about what you’re talking about.”
    He came back close, wrapping arms around her as he spoke. “When a witch finds her mate and completely opens her heart to him, Mother Earth and all the wisdom of the universe blesses the union. Her reward for this sacrifice of selflessness is to be imbued with the fullness of her true potential and power. You, my love are an extremely powerful witch and at such a young age. I’m in awe of your presence in my life.” He looked at her again, nodding. “Yes, I saw it the first time I spotted you, I just couldn’t see you because you shielded yourself so well. You’re my love and I honor your gift of love. Know that I support and respect your calling and will do what I will to help you in whatever way I can.”
    “What? Wait…” She had to get out of his embrace. This was too much and she couldn’t understand, let alone accept the words that tumbled from him. “You’re trying to tell me that I’m some sort of witch? I told you, that’s just some wives’ tale from my family. I’m—we’re—not witches. That’s crazy.”
    “But you are, and you are extremely powerful. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered someone as powerful as you at your age. Sure, there are some from back in the old country that had amazing power, but they were very old. But you…” he said trailing off and looking at her as if he was seeing her for the first time, “Are truly amazing.”
    “What the hell, Owain? And here I was thinking I was about to have mind blowing sex and you swerve into left field, past Woohoo land. This is some shit. I’m not a witch and this is not funny. Get off me.” She pushed up against his chest, sending him flying through the air to land on the other side of the room. “Oh shit!” She jumped out of bed to go to him. He was still crumpled on his side against the wall when she reached him.
    Helping him to stand, he looked down at her, smiled and said, “Now do you believe me?” Before she could answer, he swooped her back up into his arms and carried her right back over to the bed, plopping her down in its center again. “You know, this is sexy and I really do enjoy a great hunt, but tonight, that’s not going to fly. I want you and you want me. We do this now!” His words sounded more like a bark than ever.
    Celia smiled in spite of herself. Deep down she had to accept that he was speaking the truth, about all of it. It was just too hard to accept. She’d deal with it later. Now, she wanted her mate and he wanted her. Without speaking, she lie down on her back, opening her legs wide and reached out to him. He dived into the bed, more than landed, coaxing a giggle from her.
    Owain climbed up the length of her to settle between her legs.
    “Kiss me love,” he said, capturing her mouth with his.
    This kiss was like no other
