Magic is her gift ( Prince’s Love) Chapter 51
What better way to torture the scum of the Earth than trapping them with only their own mind to keep them company?“The employee turnover is going to start the rumor mill.” I sat on a stool a few feet away from Ezequiel, and Sitri slid a glass of something pink and fruity toward me.“You worry too much,” the Watcher said, not at all putting my worry at ease. “This industry is full of fair-weathers who’ll neither call nor show up for their shift for the opportunity to follow the latest pop singer on tour. That’s the beauty of Los Angeles.”The Deacon was more than just a nightclub and investment. It was where, on any day of the week, desperate souls could be harvested. People clambered for just one moment of happiness and freedom on the dance floor. For the chance to meet a stranger for a one-time tryst to recount at parties.The nightclub was also a place for the princes of Hell to converse on an even field.Yes, Sitri was the owner and main operator, but it was one of the last demon

She belonged to me, but giving her my true name would give her the power to summon me if spoken just right.I let her dangle on the silence for another moment before deciding that it was only fair that I leveled the playing field.“Alicia ,” I said, gifting her with the social reprieve of my name.“Alicia,” she repeated, the first and last letters getting caught in her teeth and dragged along her tongue like silk. “That’s a . . . strong name.”“Suits him, doesn’t it?” Brian chimed in, clapping my shoulder. “Handsome devil.” His bouncy tone did nothing to rid her expression of its curiosity. “My glass is empty, bad luck at such a fancy affair. I’ll be back in a moment.”Her hostess senses slipped back into place. “Oh, I can—”“No, please stay and occupy my brother,” Brian said. “He has been bored to tears and I need a rest from carrying the conversation for the both of us.” He scurried away before she could answer.She watched after him a moment before turning back to me, surprise stil

She held her breath, dragging her gaze up to mine for longer than she’d likely intended, before bolting to her feet and smoothing out the wrinkles from her dress.The moment was too much, and she had obligations as her surviving family’s trophy.“I should make the rounds. Thank you for taking in the fresh air with me, Brian. Enjoy the rest of the night.” She stretched out her hand to bid me farewell.I straightened myself and took her hand but rotated and brought it up. “I hope we meet again soon, Mabel.”Our eyes locked as I lightly caressed my lips over her knuckles.Her cheeks flushed and her mouth opened, but it seemed that her words were lost. Instead, she nodded and walked away.I waited until her silhouette had disappeared into the house before slipping through the void. I had no desire to mingle with any other mortals now that my agenda to encounter Mabel had been accomplished. I knew the impression I left her with would have her thoughts trailing back to me throughout the res

When Mabel came in, she didn’t look around in her desperation for caffeine. She ordered quickly, careful to thank and tip the barista with cash, then moved down the counter where white paper cups with black lids were being shuffled out to waiting hands. Her fingers twisted the locket around her neck while she waited.Her eyes flitted up when she heard her name called.She turned to go—cup in hand—and her gaze finally landed on mine.Her eyes darted around, likely looking to see if she was imagining me or if anyone else saw the man she’d been thinking and dreaming about since last night.She must have decided she wasn’t hallucinating because gave me a small, casual wave. I returned her greeting with a nod and a coy but welcoming smile.Instead of waiting for her to think too long and talk herself out of coming over to me, I got to my feet and closed the distance between us.“This is a pleasant surprise,” I said, practically feeling her shiver at the sound of my voice.“It is?” She laug

Though he hadn’t clearly labeled it a date, I was going to assume it was one until he started grilling me for information on my father’s campaign or business holdings. The longer I thought about the invitation, the more my stomach knotted and my fingers itched to text him and cancel.Out of habit, I reached for my locket. I’d cried for an hour in my car when I realized it was gone, and retracing my steps had led me nowhere but back to my empty office to finish paperwork and emails.I peered down at my phone screen and opened up one of the three social media apps I scrolled through to dull my senses and pass the next forty-five minutes. New posts from friends in the UK appeared first. Three of them were together on a walkabout in London. Mads’ handle was tagged in one of the corners as the photographer, but several thumb pushes later, I saw his own version of events on the outing. He was sitting on a park bench, holding the largest sausage roll I’d ever seen in his lap that he was gest

Brian’s brows raised as I passed them, my jaw slack from their exchange.Nice,Brian mouthed their approval and turned back to the ass that had been grinding against them.I followed the gentle pull on my hand up to the bar, not willing to let go for more than the sake of not getting lost in the sea of people. If he let go, I would surely crumble in a puddle of sweat and the butterflies in my stomach. That was all I was made of after that dance.When we reached the front of the line, the bartender’s eyes shot to my companion and down to me. Their lips twitched before giving us a subtle nod. They poured an entire tray of shots then slid it down. To my shock, the blond man picked up the tray and held it above hisWe made our way back to what seemed to be the center of the dance floor, and Rhomi hooted and hooked her arm with mine. The music was still too loud, so she gave me a wink and took one of the offerings. We took our shots together and set the glasses on the tray upside down. Tiff

Nothing.”“That’s convincing,” he slurred then took a shot. “You have a scowl on your face that could scare the paint off a bus.” He held up another for me to take.I eyed his hand but took his offering. “You might want to slow down. It’s not even midnight and you’ve lost your senses.”The woman who had just been playing the part of Brian’ drinking vessel giggled and sat up from the low table. She fixed her skirt then sat down to admire the both of us.He wrinkled his nose, disgusted by my accusation. “And besmirch my title? Brother, some of us cannot rely on our attitudes to spread our gifts to the masses. I am excess. All revelry and misguided fun must be inspired by my hand.” His arms flung out. “I am all of this.”“Calm down, brother.”Orobas spun around. It had been Ezequiel calling for Orobas to quit his showboating. Under his arm was a tall blonde woman who was likely a model or actress.“Hope you don’t mind if we join you,” he stated.“It depends. Did you bring anything for th

I’d offered to drive everyone home since I hadn’t drunk as much as they had, and there was no way Tiffany could have waited for a car service to pick them up from the corner. After the interruption from being caught up in Stolas, I was stone-cold sober.Tiffany sulked in the back seat during the drive to her apartment, huffing and whining that Rhomi had ruined the night that could have changed her life. The guy she had been dancing—or rather dry-humping—with had been whispering promises in her ear all night. When Rhomi freaked out on Oro, Tiffany hadn’t had time to get his name or number.Jordan offered to stay with Tiffany and assured us that they would tuck Tiffany in with a large water bottle and call Rhomi in the morning.Rhomi still lived with her father in the Hills. His house was twice the size of my father’s and surrounded byRhomi punched in the code for the gate then asked down to my car window, “Do you want to stay the night? It would be like old times.”I’d had enough of t
