“I claim your body as you have claimed mine. We are one.”
He lowered his head and touched his lips to hers. The imprint of his kiss burned in her chest before her heart stopped beating for ten long seconds, only to begin again in complete unison with Auden’s.
“Offer of the body.” Celine lowered her voice. “Last point to change your mind.”
“No chance,” Helena said.
“Yeah, what my wife said.” Auden laughed, laying his hand on her breastbone. She did the same to him.
“This is our seal.”
“Brand me as I do you.”
A golden light glowed at her chest, between Auden’s fingers, as her eyes were stung by the brightness beneath her own palm. “It is yours,” he whispered.
“It is yours.” She pressed her lips together to hide the most joyous smile.
The light vanished just as the sun touched the horizon. “Seal of the soul.” Celine grinned, throwing her arms wide above her head.
“We will honour that seal,” came the voices of all the Wiccans.
“You are united in ways that people will never understand,” Celine said to them both. “You above all others will need to honour that seal. Not even death will end it.”
“Good,” Auden said. “Not sharing you with anyone for a long time.”
Her husband. All possessive-like. Very sweet. Helena suddenly struggled with a yawn. “This is all very nice, but when do I get to sleep?”

About Billy London
Ah, poor Billy. The only girl between two boys who each have nearly a foot on her. Didn’t stop her from starting physical fights with them. She still thinks she can take them. So while she used to hide away in her wardrobe to read a book or four, she started to question why the heroines in those books would just lie there and take it. No, not just sex, but downright James-Bond-backhand-slapping, do-as-you’re-told-woman, inappropriate lie there and take it. She couldn’t understand it. These women were just playing that mental woman from Coming to America, Miss “Whatever You Like” who barked like a dog and hopped on one foot. Billy didn’t want to do that. Definitely not because one empty-headed fool with different anatomy told her to. So she started to create characters and worlds where the women could own their sexuality, their intelligence, their right to turn around and say “jog on, mate” without apology.
The small problem was that other people wanted to read what she was had written. “Er...why?” didn’t cut it as an answer. After years of prodding and pleading and come on and for goodness’ sake, what’s the point otherwise, she closed her eyes and pressed “submit.” Actually, she had Prosecco, limoncello and white wine, then pressed “submit.” Who would have thought people would actually enjoy reading about the crazy characters who live in her head? But they have done, and Billy feels rather proud of that connection with her fellow man.
Billy lives in London with the most patient family in the world and doesn’t forget for a minute how lucky she is. Well, she wouldn’t mind a BBC adaptation of one of her novels... Ooh, with Richard Armitage!
