Familiar (5 page)

A breath caught in my throat. “Well, I don’t think
that has very much to do with the spell.”

“Why not?”

“Because the bonding spell would make a witch’s
familiar feel like he belonged to the witch, right?”

“Right.”

“The thing is—I feel like I belong to you too.”

“So it’s a mutual problem we seem to be having here.”
He nodded. “And what do you think we should do about it?”

I slid my hands up over his chest to his shoulders.
“I’m thinking...nothing. Nothing at all.”

“That sounds like an excellent plan.” He bent forward
and kissed me.

My heart swelled and felt like it was going to burst.
I was crazy about Owen. I didn’t care if I’d known him two days or
two years, it wouldn’t change a thing about how I felt.

After a long moment he pulled back a little from me.
“So now what, little witch?”

“Now?” I reached down and took his hand in mine. “I
need to introduce you to some people.”

“Who?”

I grinned at him. “My pack of misfits. Consider
yourself the newest member.”

His dark blue eyes filled with happiness. “Sounds
good to me.”

That made two of us.
