Brianna Devereaux: The Mambo (Completed)

Kase's seduction

Brianna hadn’t wanted to leave Tamia in the shape she was in. But laying in her bed asleep, Tamia had groggily woken up for a few minutes. And after seeing Brianna still there, had all but yelled at her to go.

And the only reason she did was knowing Tamia was safe in her bed at the church. Getting dressed in jeans and a white tank top, she reached for a hoodie. But instead her hands found the cloak of her family’s cloak.

It was a black velvety material, soft to the touch and beautiful considering how old it had to be. Putting it on, Brianna giggled a little since she bet she looked like a cosplay girl.

But she liked it. It made her feel safe and even stronger as the magic embedded in it’s fabric came to life with hers. Pulling the hood over her curls, Brianna looked in the mirror. And like déjà vu, she suddenly could see it.

The Devereaux women of all generations donning the same cloak. All the way back to the very beginning of their line and continuing within her. Mothers and daughter wore this cloak and now here she was. Following their lead, she felt they all were beaming at her from the other side.

Which filled her with a pride that her chin rising feeling like the strong woman she was meant to become. Or at least getting there.

Fastening the silver clasp at her throat, Brianna tucked her staff in the small of her back. And just when she thought she was well on her way, she felt a presence. One becoming familiar and her lips went up in a sarcastic smile,

“Twice in one day?” Throwing Kase a look, Brianna quipped, “I must be special.” Kase grinned looking devilishly handsome as he purred, “Very.” And then he stared at Brianna drinking her in. Just in a span of two hours she no longer looked like a teenager girl, but now a powerful mambo. Kase took a quick peek and could see clearly she was almost there.

And while shocked at her growth, Kase hid it well as she snipped impatient, “You know I’m busy so spit it out. What do you want?” Smirking at the back talk, Kase fought to keep his masculinity in check that wanted to check her. Instead he played charming as he smiled with his luscious lips, “I was just making sure you didn’t need help. Especially after this morning’s eventfulness.”

Brianna’s shoulders went back as she confidently said, “Tamia is strong, she can handle what’s happening to her. And I can too, and in the two hours since I told you to leave, I haven’t changed my mind. I’m not signing your damn book, so if that was all.”

Her words rang through Kase with a certainty and strength, it threw him off. But he still hoped he could get his way, “Well Cherie, to be honest I was coming to see if maybe I could do you a favor.”

Cocking an eyebrow at the purr he put on his final word, “Favor?” Kase approached her as he towered over her, “I do something for you. You do something for me, a win-win scenario.”

Kase’s body so close to Brianna’s radiated heat, a primal desire that should have wrecked her. But after observing the delicious abs and chest on the god in front of her, Brianna’s brown eyes met his. Tempted or not, she wasn’t going to be f****d into submission either.

Even if she might enjoy it.

And as the red eyes could clearly see she wasn’t budging, Kase could tell he wasn’t getting wiggle room. Laughing amused and turned on from the sheer will and determination of the young woman in front of him, Kase accepted the lost.

Growling as his body seemed to grow even hotter, Brianna couldn’t move when he grabbed her. His grip tight on her hips, Kase’s eyes were set to hypnotizing. Deep voice alluring and sweet, Kase promised, “You will give into me Brianna.”

And then he was kissing her. A hot, steamy, panty wetting kiss making Brianna tremble against him in longing. Kase rained kisses down her neck as their magics seemed to burn and fumble between them, but Brianna wouldn’t give in.

She wouldn’t let him take over.

Instead she stumbled back, lips kiss swollen as her body seemed to convulse with the reactions he caused. Kase said not a word as he left with a parting heated glance and a stiff roll of his shoulders.

But it was his eyes that scared Brianna. Because while her body was that of a normal hormonal teenager, she couldn’t deny that look. And that was pure male wanting a woman.

Because if there was one way Kase planned to get her to sign, play on her emotions and desires. Touching her tingling lips after he evaporated in his black smoke, Brianna mumbled annoyed, “Dumb bitch.”

Breathing out Brianna snapped herself out of her revere and got herself in check. Doing a mental check list, Brianna realized she had everything and that she needed to leave.

Time to find a witch. And this time she was more determined than ever.
