Chapter 49
WELCOME HOME
Early Early Morning Day 26
"Hey, Darlin'." Jonny nudged me awake.
We were sitting in his truck by Chef's old rooms, behind Moonlit Mountain Lodge. He exited the truck and I followed behind him. He held my hand as we walked through the Chef's newly remodeled rooms and behind the secret bookcase.
The hallway was long and dark.
Jonny flipped a switch and the hallway illuminated. The deep green walls ended at a wall of plants. To the side was a doorway. Jonny held his phone to the door lock and looked at me. "You can unlock this door with your phone." He pushed the door open and the lights inside turned on automatically.
The interior was mostly dark blues and blacks. There was a small black leather loveseat and black coffee table when you first entered but behind that was a large kitchen with black cabinets, countertops, and appliances. A long island with black stools on the opposite side. Next to that was the dining room with a long black dining table and ornate black chairs.
"This is really nice." I never thought all black could have so much dimension to it but the green plants and strategic lighting brought it to life.
"Welcome home." He opened a door across from the living room. "This is our bedroom."
I stepped into the cozy bedroom. A large bed with black blankets was on the far side of the wall. On either side were closet doors.
Jonny gestured to one of them. "I brought your stuff from the laundry tower over." He motioned to another door. "Bathroom." He walked over and opened it, the lights went on and he turned on the shower. He undressed and beckoned me to do the same.
I removed my dress and undergarments and stepped into the shower. I wet my hair as Jonny stepped into the shower.
He pulled me close to him and kissed me.
I had to be careful of his swollen lip and I pulled back. "You should let me heal you now. Both eyes would be best when we do the ritual."
His voice was low and gravelly. "Whatever you want Darlin'."

"Did you figure out the security plan?" I grabbed the shampoo bottle and washed my hair.
Jonny took the bottle and did the same with his short hair. He nodded and grinned as he watched me rinse. "It's better if you partner with Bishop this round."
My eyebrows rose.
He shrugged. "He knows more about the Magic stuff." He turned on another shower handle and a shower head opposite the one I was using turned on. Jonny rinsed his hair. "Diego will help and that little fucker will be loose."
I spread conditioner throughout mine. "Keiran?"
He nodded as he soaped his body.
"How did you get Diego free from Jess?" Would it help break the connection between me and Keiran?
"It wasn't planned or anything. It was more of a...side effect."
"I'm going to need more details."
He looked at me closely and sighed. "Diego knows Death Magic and sometimes I kill him."
I gasped. "What do you mean?"
"He wants me to." He shrugged. "Sometimes I kill him and then he has me light a candle on top of his corpse to bring him back to life."
I stared at him, my eyes round.
"When he died this time it broke the hold Jess had over him."
"How did Diego find out he could do this?"
He shrugged. "He found a book once."
I blinked at him.
"How did you find out you could do Sex Magic? You said you aren't a Succubus like Jess but how is it different?"
