“Oh yes,” she sighed.
What a treasure. Her right hand wandered down his belly and surrounded his penis. She began a slow steady stroking perfectly timed to what his fingers did to her.
“Well, what do you know? You seem to have found your second wind.”
“Vixen.” He had hardened again. He, who had rarely been able to make love to his wife twice in the same week, would soon be having this delectable woman for a second time, in less than an hour!
“Let me see if we can put it to good use,” he whispered, reaching for another condom.
An hour later, as he cradled a napping Hannah close to his side, he thought about all he had shared with her—and all he had not.
He knew he should reveal his identity to her. And he would, he assured himself as sleep crept close. But he wanted just a little bit longer to simply be an ordinary man. Surely, that wasn’t too much to ask. Was it?
Epilogue
“Oh, sister, good thinking! Getting Philip to ask Catharine if she believed in fairy godmothers.”
“Well, Gwendolyn,” Eugenia replied, as she sat on the cloud and smoothed her hand over her very own, favorite medieval gown, “I had to do something. Those two fair near drained us of power, that is for certain.”
“They did. They surely did. But now we’ve been re-charged, too, and just in time.” Gwendolyn said.
“Just in time, indeed. I have a feeling these next two are going to be a real challenge. Not to mention the fact that we still have to do something about Hannah and Alex.”
“I thought they would be the easy ones. They are, after all, a wee bit closer to our age. More mature. More settled.”
“That’s what I thought too, sister. Who knew?”
Gwendolyn looked over, and Eugenia saw the worry in her eyes. “What will we do about them, Eugenia?”
“I honestly haven’t a clue. But take heart, dear sister. There’ll be a wedding soon, and as you know, if there’s one thing that’s even more power-infusing for us fairy godmothers than a statement of belief, it’s a wedding.” And wasn’t that a darned good thing!
“Thank goodness for that,” Gwendolyn agreed. “I just love weddings, don't you?”
“I do. I certainly do.”
With huge self-satisfied grins they watched as a knight in shining armor swept his ladylove into his strong arms for a kiss that was, quite simply, pure magic.

AUTHOR’S BIO
Morgan has been a writer since she was first able to pick up a pen. In the beginning it was a hobby, a way to create a world of her own, and who could resist the allure of that? Then as she grew and matured, life got in the way, as life often does. She got married and had three children, and worked in the field of accounting, for that was the practical thing to do and the children did need to be fed. And all the time she was being practical, she would squirrel herself away on quiet Sunday afternoons, and write.
Most children are raised knowing the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule. Morgan’s children also learned the Paper Rule: thou shalt not throw out any paper that has thy mother’s words upon it.
Believing in tradition, Morgan ensured that her children’s children learned this rule, too.
Life threw Morgan a curve when, in 2002, she underwent emergency triple by-pass surgery. Second chances are to be cherished, and with the encouragement and support of her husband, Morgan decided to use hers to do what she’d always dreamed of doing: writing full time. “I can’t tell you how much I love what I do. I am truly blessed.”
Morgan has always loved writing romance. It is the one genre that can incorporate every other genre within its pulsating heart. Romance showcases all that human kind can aspire to be. And, she admits, she’s a sucker for a happy ending.
Morgan’s favorite hobbies are reading, cooking, and traveling – though she would rather you didn’t mention that last one to her husband. She has too much fun teasing him about having become a “Traveling Fool” of late.
Morgan lives in Southwestern Ontario with a cat that has an attitude, a dog that has no dignity, and her husband of thirty-five years, David.
