go about triggering her energy without making her suspicious.”
    “Easy.” Cass offered a reassuring smile that made him feel anything but. “You have sex with her and give her one doozy of a climax.”
    He and Nikki simultaneously choked on a cough. He was the first to recover. “Want to pass that one by me again?” Fuck . And here he’d thought somehow sweet-talking a do-gooder witch into breaking his soul-collector seal was impossible. That’d be a cakewalk compared to getting one to spread her legs for him. Although he could sure as shit think of one he’d like to bury his cock inside for an hour or two. He gritted his teeth at the wayward thought. He didn’t like the odd attraction he’d experienced with his little witch. There were already too many things in his life he couldn’t control. Adding another to the list damn well wasn’t gonna happen.
    Cass held up her hand, tearing him from his grim musings. “I know what you’re thinking. But I’ve come up with a solution I think will solve part of the issue. Tomorrow’s the big Samhain ball at the Cosgrove mansion, which basically amounts to lots of witches in a relatively confined space. That works in your favor, since all their white energy should help mask your darker juju. You’ll be able to blend in pretty much undetected.”
    “Wow, smart thinking, sis,” Nikki said grudgingly.
    He hated to admit Nikki had a point, but it was smart. Still, there was a slight hiccup. “Unless I can convince her to sneak into one of the private rooms to do the dirty, sooner or later we’ll have to leave the party.”
    Cass gave him an encouraging pat on the arm. “Then I suggest you lay the charm on extra thick.”
    A snort shot from Nikki. “Oh man. You are so screwed.” She grinned obnoxiously. “Or not, in this case.”

    Sam took one look at the tube of hair gel in Cass’s hand and narrowed his eyes. “That shit isn’t getting anywhere near my head.”
    Cass uttered a long-suffering sigh. “Fine. But could you at least wear something classier than jeans and a T-shirt? The idea is for a woman to want to have sex with you.”
    “This is as dressy as I get. Take it or leave it.”
    Nikki stepped next to her sister. Rubbing her chin, she swept him with an appraising look that made him feel like a side a beef…that was getting an inferior rating. “I still think we should have gotten you a costume so you’d blend in more.”
    “I don’t do costumes.”
    Cass grunted. “Yeah, we kind of got that impression after you insisted on repeating your stance on it a few thousand times.”
    “Good. I’m glad we’ve got that straight.” He hadn’t trusted either of his cousins not to spring some hellaciously embarrassing getup on him, like Zorro or a fucking pirate. Just the thought of all those pansy-ass ruffles was enough to make his balls shrivel.
    “Well, I guess we’ll have to hope you pass muster with the ladies.” Cass plopped the tube of gel on the kitchen counter, something that filled him with immense relief. Cousin or not, things could have gotten violent if she’d tried to goop his hair to look like a damn hedgehog or some other bullshit artsy-fartsy style. She pulled a small spiral notebook from her back pocket and tore off the top page, which she promptly handed to him. “This is a checklist I put together for you. It should help you get through tonight easier.”
    He glanced at the paper and read the first line. “Make sure to smile and compliment your date once in a while.” He scowled. “She isn’t going to be my date . We’re having sex and hopefully breaking my seal. End of story.”
    Cass huffed a peevish breath. “Could you pretend you’re interested in more than just a roll in the hay? Women enjoy being wooed, you know.”
    Oh bloody hell. Maybe he should take his chances with Pricilla. He let the possibility sink in for a moment before determining even a week under the bitch’s command would be
