Relaxation Spell

Magic often works in unexpected ways. Relaxation isn't always quiet. Sometimes it roars in unexpectedly like a storm.

All I wanted this Christmas was some time to relax. When my husband, Theo, told my mother plainly that we were spending the holiday alone and unreachable in a secluded cabin, I harbored some anxiety. Ultimately, I knew it was the right decision and what we both needed.

With the coming snowstorm intensifying, I almost regretted coming out to the middle of nowhere to spend a relaxing Christmas with Theo. But the moment I saw the cabin, and Theo and I got inside, the anxiety melted away. All seemed well until the storm knocked out the power, and a stranded stranger appeared out of nowhere, needing some refuge from the blizzard. Even though sharing our space with this stranger wasn't what we had in mind for our Christmas vacation, this man sparked a strong desire within both of us. As long as I could set my anxiety aside and give in to what I wanted, Nico was willing to fulfill our deepest desires and giving us the best Christmas either of us could have asked for.
