sent them.
They’ve made their wishes known now. I’ll have to be on my guard constantly now. Protected at all times.”
“How the heck are we going to do that?” I noticed he still said ‘we’. It amazed me that this hadn’t sent him running in the opposite direction. I said as much. He pulled the car to the side of the road and twisted in his seat to face me.
“Serena, when are you going to get it? I’m in love with you. I told you. Demons, witches, freaky dudes turning into rats, I don’t care. I’m not going anywhere! This thing is bigger than I can control, I get that, and I am still smack in the middle of it. And you know what? As long as I am there with you, that’s exactly where I want to be. So stop being surprised about it, stop questioning it, and just accept it. You’re just stuck with me!”
I had never been spoken to so passionately and by someone so sure of himself. He was right. I was going to have to get used to it. I couldn’t help but smile as he put the car back on the road and we continued driving home. Elizabeth was right too. I had chosen well.
Chapter Eleven
SERENA
When we got home, Logan insisted on walking me to my door. I filled him in on what Elizabeth told me out the protection spell on his and our houses. He remained adamant about staying with me, but I wanted him to be at his house with our sisters and his mom. I reminded him that Eden and her coven sisters were at my house and we would both be safe. He finally relented.
“You call me if anything happens. I mean anything. I’ll have to get you a cell phone or something.”
“Maybe I can teach you a different way.”
“You can teach me how to read minds?”
I winked at him. “Just mine.”
“I’d like to know what you’re thinking.”
“Something tells me you’d be a willing pupil.”
“Willing for sure.” Logan moved in close to me. I could feel his breath and his voice turned husky. His hands moved onto my waist and gently pulled me even closer. “Definitely willing.” He tilted his head and pressed his lips onto mine soft at first, then a little harder, firmer. We backed up and leaned against the wall of my front porch. He pressed into me and I could feel the full length of him, pulsing and yearning for me. Abruptly, he placed his forearms on the wall behind us and pushed himself off me.
“I know this isn’t the time, Serena, but shoot, girl. You are getting to me.”
He made me flushed and breathless. I composed myself and smoothed my dress. I wanted him as much as he wanted me. Did he even know that? I moved toward him but he stepped away.
“Oh, no you don’t. I was barely able to stop just now. I won’t be able to do it again.” Logan gave me a quick peck on the cheek and opened my front door for me. “Get in there now before I change my mind and attack you like the animal I am inside.”
I blew him a kiss and went into my house.

I went straight to the living room where I found Eden and two other women sitting there, chatting and drinking tea. They glanced up when I walked in and I could tell from their faces that they had been monitoring me most of the night and knew what had gone on. Including, it seemed, just now with Logan. I blushed and made a futile attempt to adjust my fallen hairstyle.
Eden rose and walked over to where I stood.
“Serena, darling. Never mind your hair. You are lovely; the blush of love brings a beautiful color to your cheeks.” In a motherly manner she brushed one of her hands down the side of my face.
“Now, come and meet my coven sisters. I’ve been advised already about the events at your dance. It appears our work must begin now in earnest. We’re here to help.”
We walked toward our sofas and the other two women stood for their introductions. A tall, porcelain-‐-skinned woman stood, with shoulder-‐-length silver hair that hung in soft waves. She had a long angular face, with a pointed, upturned nose and bright, amused amber eyes. Dressed
