I put my hand around his neck and pull him forward, kissing him.
He wraps his arms around me and happily kisses me back.
We pull apart when the boys keep giving very loud fake coughs.
“Gross,” Xander says.
Sly looks at him. “I will never apologise for loving my husband.”
“Well, just love him when we’re not in the room.”
I grin at him. “Sorry, not sorry. On a happy note, I brought sandwiches. Did you two eat?”
“Yep,” Sly says. “We had burgers, candy floss, and a bucket load of sweets.
“I’ll put yours in the fridge for tomorrow,” I say, handing Enoch his sandwich, taking mine out and putting the other two away.
“How were the animals?” Sly asks.
“OMG, they were so amazing. I healed a badger’s broken leg and fixed the wing of a bird, and started the healing for some others. Elaine said anytime I wanted to go back, even if she wasn’t home, I could just let myself into the garden and give healing to the animals,” he says happily, his arms going all over the place.
“I’m glad you had fun,” Sly says to him.
“Yeah,’ Xander mutters.
“I’m sure Elaine will let you come as well if you want,” Enoch says to him. “Shall we go next door, and I’ll let you win Mario Kart?”
Xander laughs. “You wish. Come on then.”
The boys go off to their room, and Sly and I sit down as I eat my sandwich. “I can’t remember the last time I saw Enoch so relaxed and happy.”
“I’m glad. Xander seems happy here as well. The house is perfect and has a ready-made workshop for you. The witches we’ve met all seem nice.”
I nod. “They do, and that house really is perfect,” I say, finishing my sandwich.
Sly grins at me and kneels in front of me, putting his hands on my thighs. “So, what do you say? Shall we take a chance on atown filled with witches and other paranormals? Adhan and the others we’ve met don’t seem to mind that I’m a dark witch.”
I lean forward and touch his cheek. “And why would they? I think we’ve found our forever home.”
Sly leans in and kisses me.
I drop to my knees, kissing him back, wrapping my arms around him. After what feels like forever, I pull back and look into his eyes. “I love you so much.”
Sly gives me his lovely, loving smile. “Just as I love you, my darling. I’m forever grateful you took a chance on a dark witch.”
“Best decision I ever made.”
CHAPTER 14
We’re sitting at the Stone dinner table, eating dinner and laughing. That seems to be a theme here - have food and laugh.
When there’s a lull in the conversation, I look at Sly, who smiles at me and nods.
“Adhan, we’d like to formally put an offer in on the house,” Sly says.
“Really? We’re staying?” Enoch asks happily, looking at us.
“For real?” Xander queries, with what sounds like hope in his voice.
