Born to be Witchy - A.J. Macey Page 0,5

entire home in the back of the shop. We had a door that led straight into our house from the shop, but there was a secondary entrance on the opposite end that led to the backyard. Though the back garden was my favorite, the pretty flowers and herbs making it smell amazing, we usually just walked through the shop. Beyond that was a small driveway for our carts, one for Tor and Drayce, and the other for the rest of us. Kye spent a lot of time on campus with the vlog work as well.

The house was big enough that we all had our own personal rooms, but mine was the only one without a bed since I was always with one of my guys. Then we had an art studio, Kye’s technorune lab, and an office Drayce and Torryn shared. The kitchen, dining room, and living room were huge to fit our large family, especially when parents or siblings stopped by. Torryn also planned to extend an extra room for me when I decided what I wanted to do with it. For now, I was content to hang out in my favorite spaces, the living room or the garden. Between the comfy couches and warm fireplace, what else did a witch need?

Now to veg out with my guys and not do anything for a while. With all the graduation chaos, I was more than ready to just relax and snuggle, and that’s what I intended to do.

Laughing at a part of the movie, I felt my body relax even further. The year was over, and my two fiancés were officially done with school. It felt better than anything to curl up on the couch with Cas snuggled into my left side and Aris on my right. The others were hanging out, enjoying the first significant amount of downtime we’d had in recent weeks, and if I was honest, I could have stayed in this cluster of witches, watching silly or sappy movies for hours on end and continued to be happy.

Cas, it seemed, had other ideas, his fingers tracing circles over my chest before moving lower. Feeling their bodies pressing against mine slowly grew torturous. Everything in me wanted to sneak away with the two of them and have some fun, so when Aris popped up from her seat with a question about snacks, I knew it was the perfect opportunity.

"Oooh, me! I’ll come help," Cas exclaimed excitedly. I shook my head; it was almost hilarious at how instantaneous his attention shifted from teasing the waistband of my pants to treats. Though a snack did sound perfect.

But only after I had my Sprinkles and Angel.

"I’ll help," I offered, hitching a thumb over at Cas. "Knowing him, he’ll want to take the entire kitchen with us." Sprinkles stuck his tongue out at me, and my blood sparked as I cocked a brow in a silent challenge. Be careful with that tongue. Otherwise, it’ll be put to good use, I tried to convey, and based on his smirk, he understood.

"Hex Mix," Kye called out when we started out of the room.

"Nothing for me, Muse," Xan told us, Torryn echoing the same sentiment.

Heading down the hall, we made our way through the large kitchen to the walk-in pantry. I stood to the side, watching Cas snatch snack after snack off the shelves while Aris hummed to herself quietly as she perused. After a few minutes, I couldn’t wait any longer, needing to feel her in my arms. Walking over to Aris, I wrapped her up, pulling her into my embrace. Her muscled back was warm against my torso, her hands coming to hold my forearms as she relaxed into my arms.

“So, Angel, how’s it feel?” I asked softly, rocking us back and forth gently as I reveled in the feeling of her moving so seamlessly with me.

“What?” Her voice was soft, her head shifting slightly, so she could look up at me.

“Being officially done with the academy. You can finally start working full time with Prime Minister Gennady and the other territories… without homework or exams to worry about.” I watched Cas dart around the room excitedly, murmuring an ‘excuse me’ to grab a couple bags between Aris and the shelves.

“I don’t think it’ll be too much different, other than a location change.” Her words were thick with laughter as she watched our fiancé pull down another treat. “I think right now, I’m focused on the wedding.”

Mm, me too, I thought as
