Cantrips: Volume #2: Minor Magics Crafted to Amuse and Entertain
Page 58
“Never,” Marcie said, albeit a little breathlessly. It sounded like a promise, though, not a denial. Ben responded to it like one, his firm lips tugging against his own smile. Cass bit back one herself at Lucas’s exaggerated sigh.
She settled back even more securely in his arms. For a while, there wasn’t much conversation, or much need for it. Marcie and Ben were in their own quiet world, speaking low to one another, exchanging easy kisses and touches, sharing the cookies and Marcie sipping from Ben’s champagne.
Lucas slipped his hand into Cass’s robe to stroke the curve of her breast as he gazed out at the night. “This is as perfect as it gets,” he said quietly. “Until tomorrow, when it will be even more perfect.”
Because we’re together. He didn’t need to say it. She felt it from him, and turned in his arms so she could wrap her own around him, get even closer.
She felt his eyes upon her as he stroked her hair and her back. He wanted her to be totally relaxed, embracing simple enjoyment of this moment and the blissful pleasure they’d experienced so far—and likely would again before dawn’s light. As well as at breakfast, in the shower, right before they checked out…
She had no objection to any of that. And, for the moment, no more worries.
Her gaze slid to Marcie, nestled up to her own husband and Master. Thank God for the bond between sisters. As her own husband pressed his lips to the crown of her head and held her tighter against his strong body, she added one more to her list of life’s blessings.
And thank God for wonderful Doms.

About the Author
Joey W. Hill writes about vampires, mermaids, boardroom executives, cops, witches, angels, housemaids…pretty much wherever her inspiration takes her. She's penned over forty acclaimed titles and six award-winning series, and been awarded the RT Book Reviews Career Achievement Award for Erotica. But she's especially proud and humbled to have the support and enthusiasm of a wonderful, widely diverse readership.
So why erotic romance? “Writing great erotic romance is all about exploring the true face of who we are – the best and worst - which typically comes out in the most vulnerable moments of sexual intimacy.” She has earned a reputation for writing BDSM romance that not only wins her fans of that genre, but readers who would “never” read BDSM romance. She believes that's because strong, compelling characters are the most important part of her books.
“Whatever genre you’re writing, if the characters are captivating and sympathetic, the readers are going to want to see what happens to them. That was the defining element of the romances I loved most and which shaped my own writing. Bringing characters together who have numerous emotional obstacles standing in their way, watching them reach a soul-deep understanding of one another through the expression of their darkest sexual needs, and then growing from that understanding into love - that's the kind of story I love to write."
Take the plunge with her, and don't hesitate to let her know what you think of her work, good or bad. She thrives on feedback!
