or the water supply that was making the women of Hobart crazy or something?
    “Are you going to invite me in or are we going to spend the rest of the evening staring at one another?” He asked. He wasn’t sure if Sirene had removed their access to the house when she’d put the spell on the girls, so he figured he’d better start right back at the basics and ask her to invite him in.
    “Oh god of course, I’m sorry. This is going to be hilarious as you’re about to find out. Please, come in.” She grinned at him before turning her head to smile into the living room. Did they have company maybe? God he hoped not, unless it was another woman who was attractive, and then he could mind control her and make a real evening of this.
    He stepped inside and bent to kiss Chloe’s cheek, breathing in the subtle floral fragrance she wore. She took him by surprise, reaching up to hug him, and when he’d extracted himself from her arms, she turned and headed into the living room. He followed and saw Cassie sprawled out on one of the lounges.
    When she saw him, her eyes widened and her mouth fell open in surprise. God, not her too? Ok he hadn’t been to their home in quite a while, but what was it with them both tonight? Suddenly he realised there was someone on the other lounge but since that lounge had its back to him, he couldn’t see who it was. If they had company, especially if it was male company, then he was out of luck for fucking them tonight.
    He heard the soft rustle of movement and the person on the other lounge sat up. Emerald green eyes met emerald green eyes, both pairs widening with a mix of shock for him and horror for her, and as if choreographed they both looked at one another and said. “You!”

    I stared at the gorgeous creature before me and just wanted the floor to open up and suck me into it. Could my luck get any shittier? It was bad enough that Chloe and Cassie knew Damien but for fuck sakes, did he have to turn up here?
    “Oh this is priceless.” Chloe laughed and when I finally broke eye contact with ‘he who is far too good looking’ to look over at her, she was propped up, grinning at us, her expression as enthusiastic as someone engrossed in a tennis match or something.
    “Don’t tell me you live here?” His eyes shot daggers at me and it was my turn to grin. To say he was not looking too happy with the way things had played out would be an understatement.
    “I’m afraid so.” I smirked and he closed his eyes briefly before fixing that bright green gaze on me again. “So why are you here? You obviously didn’t know I lived here. Your surprise seemed genuine unless of course you’re just a great actor?” I raised my eyebrows at him.
    “I came to see Cassie and Chloe. We’ve known each other a while.” He said his eyes shifting from mine, and something about his behaviour immediately made me suspicious. He was up to something.
    “We haven’t seen you in quite a while Damien. So what did you want?” Chloe asked.
    “Yes Damien. What do you want? It’s rare to see you out without Fabian or Lucian these days.” Cassie said.  
    I watched him squirm more and shoot a look at me. Something was up with him and I was curious to find out what it was.
    “I...I realised I hadn’t seen you ladies in a while so I thought I’d drop in. There’s no law against that is there?” He smiled at Cassie and Chloe before glaring at me. “Is there?” He asked directly to me.
    “Oh I dunno whether Cassie and Chloe want a loser in their home.” I said, smirking at him. When his expression darkened to the point where he looked about ready to strangle me, I couldn’t help myself, I laughed.
    Suddenly with a speed that took me by surprise, he lunged, grabbing my wrist and hauled me off the lounge. He started dragging me from the room but I dug my heels in protesting loudly. “Fucking let me go you bastard. Let me go.” I twisted my wrist trying to break free but he
