It wasn’t really backwards at all. We could go into the human world as much as we liked if we wanted to. Lorraine just couldn’t go back until after All Hallows’ Eve since she was bound to me and the magic in the vale now.
I jerked my head for her to follow me, and I walked into the trees. Lorraine slipped her hand into mine, and I looked down. Her fingers were slender, her hand small and delicate, but her touch was firm. Warmth spread through me from the contact. I tried not to enjoy it as much as I was.
“Here,” I said when we reached a circle of power in the forest. “If you can feel magic, you might feel a rush of it when we step into the circle. It’s unsettling, so you should keep your eyes closed, okay?”
Lorraine looked like she had a ton of questions—she was inquisitive as fuck—but she didn’t ask them. She only nodded and closed her eyes. I led her into the circle. The magic shivered over my skin when I stepped into it. When she followed, her breath caught in her throat.
I pulled her tightly against me. I felt her curves against my body, the swells of her breasts pushing up against my chest, the line of her hip. When I let my magic go, pushing it outward, she grabbed tightly onto me, and heat flowed through my body. She was pushed so tightly against me that if we were naked, I could get inside her.
My cock hardened just thinking about it.
The magic rippled over us, and then it faded.
Lorraine still clung to me, her eyes squeezed shut.
“We’re here,” I said. “You can open your eyes.”
Lorraine blinked her eyes open and looked around. We were in a human town, the town where Lorraine lived. We stood in the street.
“How did we get here?” she asked, looking around. “How did you know?”
“I didn’t. I let your subconscious do the work. I just used my magic to take us there.”
Lorraine shook her head. She didn’t ask how I had access to her subconscious—that was a good thing, because I wouldn’t have known how to answer.
Humans walked past us in all directions.
“Can they see us?” Lorraine asked.
I shook my head. “We’re in a different realm, remember?”
“Right,” she said. She looked around and started to walk in a certain direction.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to find my sister,” Lorraine said.
I followed her through the town until she reached a small home. Her breath caught in her throat when a woman arrived right when we did. She looked just like Lorraine, only younger and a little more childlike.
“Cat,” Lorraine breathed. Her eyes filled with tears. She took a step forward, but her sister didn’t see her before she opened the front door. “At least she’s alive,” Lorraine said to me. “And she looks okay. I wonder what happened to Oscar.”
I bit my tongue. If he knew what was good for him, he wouldn’t show his face now. I could still step into the human world, and I wanted to rip his throat out for what he’d done to Lorraine.
“We should go,” I said gruffly. “We can’t be here too long.”
Lorraine swallowed hard. “Can I talk to her?”
“No.”
“Just for a short while,” she said. “They won’t find me here. I just want to know that she’s okay. And make sure she knows I’m okay, too.”
My stomach twisted. I felt like shit for what I’d done to Lorraine. I hadn’t thought shit through when I’d trapped her in my world.
“We can’t,” I said regretfully. “I’m sorry.”
Lorraine looked like she was going to cry. “Okay,” she whispered. “Let’s go, then. I know she’s alive. That has to be enough.”
I nodded, and Lorraine turned away. I made to follow her, but a thought occurred to me.
