Herbalists' Cache [m]One for the money, two for the show

This is extremely unexpected from Dottie and I’m living for it! AHH haha

He advanced on her and everything within her lit up like firecrackers, stray sparks burned every nerve ending. Her eyes were lit from within, like sparkling gemstones, far from the typical dull, timid gaze she always wore. Her whole body was on fire and it was confusing…exciting.

Dangerous.

Risky.

She had spent so long within the shadow of her brother. Some days it was comforting, most days it was suffocating. And here, right now, she was in the sun for the first time in her life. It was glorious.

Her own growl, deep and guttural, surprised her, yet she leaned into it, her whole being vibrating. So focused on the male before her, she barely heard her brother’s call for her to stop; this was not his fight, she told herself. She knew nothing of fighting, but she would not back down. This male called her bluff and she had to pay the price. A small part of her felt a twinge of regret, but the overwhelming feeling of excitement and anticipation won.

“Fuck. You.”
