Witchy woman

Jack shook his head as he got into his truck. He had hoped to be able to talk the Doc and her wife into sheltering with him and bringing Samir along so the beautiful dusky beauty wasn’t snapped up by someone who wouldn't keep her safe. Having learned what he had it was doubly good that Washington leaked information like a sieve. He pulled out of the clinic parking lot and headed on to his next stop.

Soon after he pulled into the parking lot at the Artemis book store. Once again he mentally braced himself and checked his pitch. There was much less of a chance.of this stop having the same smooth progression as last time. Again a bell announced his arrival. The young woman behind the counter was the poster girl for the thick goth girl and had developed something of an aversion to most men as she was nearly constantly fending of creeps. Fortunately she and her small coven had accepted him as he had proven to be an honest and honorable man. That and having thrown a young horn-ball who couldn’t take a hit out a time or two had cemented him as a good person.

" Jackson!" Lucinda squeaked as she snapped closed the book she had been reading. "Dirty prose again" he couldn't help but teas. "You know how boring it gets mid week. Plus its a book store and people expect to see a book being read." She was blushing hard enough he could see it though her makeup. He decided to lay of the teasing. " How have you and your sisters been?" " Meh, its been getting harder and harder to practice openly with those Fundamentals getting more political power. We need somewhere to gather where we wont have a couple Karens show up after a couple circles and accuse us of trying to summon daemons." Jackson winced, he knew as a man people were less likely to give him grief for being pagan. The women of a small Wiccan coven though? " And everyone is having there own material world issues. Eve is doing ok with her streaming and gaming though that creep is trying to e-stalk her again. Jerk is persistent. Monica and Rebecca are in a bit of a sales slump right now people are bracing with the new administration on the way and not splurging on bespoke jewelry. Alecia is actually doing ok the horse ride tours place just gave her a pay bump and she really likes the new mare they got recently." "Sounds like the usual mix of up and down. How is the book store doing?" " Not bad, you were tight adding those reto table top games to our inventory really helped get more people in the store. I'm thinking about adding a couple tables in the back for people to play on weekends." " Glad to hear."

"So, what brought you in today? Just in the aria and decided to come in and catch be dripping and ready?" She had a saucy look on her face. Normally he would either ignore or brush off her comment but maybe he should take a shot.

Shifting his body he moved towards her desk stalking like he would when closing the distance on a dear. "And if I had decided it was time to wrangle you into my house and make you mine?" He deliberately put a hint of a low growl in his voice as he moved around the counter to loom over Luce.

Her heart rate spiked and the blush she had earlier returned in **** and she felt blood rush to her nipples and between her legs as Jackson radiated danger and power. On one level she knew he would protect her but a more primitive part of her brain was yelling danger and that mix just short circuited her brain.

Seeing her reaction Jackson reeled in his intent and shifted back into a more everyday stance. " I was in town to get a checkup and thought it would be good to stop by and check in." Luce had to shake her head at the sudden shift his change giving her whiplash as the normal quiet safe man returned. "Oh, uh ya well how did that go?" She scrambled to recover her balance. "Must be tough getting prodded ad poked on a regular basis like that?" " Not as bad as you might think. Hay, you said your coven was having a hard time getting privacy. How.about my place its out past the birbs and no one around there will mind some music, chanting and dancing." "Really? You wouldn't mind? I mean ummm." His sudden direction change had thrown her again. " Ya I’ve got a nice big back yard patio with a fire pit and water feature just have to check for snakes regularly but other than that it should be just fine." " I'll have to ask the others but if your ok we would love to, can I come by in a day or two and check it out?" "Sure, here." He quickly scribbled down an address and handed it over. " You have to be the only person I know who keeps a pin and notebook on them now adays."

"Looking forward to seeing you and showing of my xeriscaping." "Right I'll call tomorrow and we can set things up."

After Jack had stepped out and the door closed Lucinda sat looking at the small page that had Jackson’s address. She had been looking for an excuse to try and get him to open up and come on to her. Yes, he was a bit older than her and some of the other coven members would be jealous but maybe she could talk to them and try and work something out. She didn’t want to loose any of her coven sisters, but goddesses bless she wanted that man. She guilty glanced over at the book she had been reading. A story about a group of bie friends getting transferred to another world and becoming the harem of a warrior mage lord. She planted her head in her arms and groaned. She really needed to get layed, and the only man she wanted had just walked out the door.
