The Moons Darkside

Chapter Thirty-Two | Just Us

Tara was in her room. Less than 72 hours to go, and she could barely feel her chest. she borrowed books from the study and slept in her room that last week. She stayed up late studying and practicing minor spells. Seth was training in the backyard keeping his agility up. He looked up to see tara in her room. She won't say it, but she is stressed.

Seth puts on a shirt and goes inside. He sees Tara dancing around in her room, and she tells him to clear her head. Her music was blaring, and she was dancing. She bent off and flipped her hair, and started to sway her hips. Seth came behind her and grabbed her hips, bringing her closer."Show me your moves, bunny,' Tara looked up at him and bit her lip. she started dancing more and swayed around him and rolled her body. she dragged her finger on his jaw and flicked it upwards.

"don't you have work," Tara said, turning off her music

"Dad sent me home. Thinking I'm overworking myself again."Seth said, bringing him closer; she smiled, looking up at him."Why are you in my bed anymore? I miss you."

"Seth, we have breakfast and dinner together, and sometimes you even sneak into my shower. Thankfully help me shower."Tara said, pinching his biceps. she put away the rest of her laundry.

"Go on a date with me; go into town and get coffee. like the old times."Seth said, holding her chin." ill even buy you new books."

"You don't have to bribe me, but ill take the books."Tara said, kissing his cheek."No, get out before I get naked."

Seth laid on the bed, hoisting himself up on his elbows, looking at her."I want a show."Seth said in his low, grave voice. Tara couldn't help but turn away. She had been dating this man for three months, and he felt like he could never stop flirting. she decided to grab her hair, stuff, and clothes she was going to wear and close the bathroom door and lock it.

"You said you wanted to show, "Tara giggled, getting her hair ready.

"Not what I meant, bunny."Seth huffed and smiled. He left to get himself ready, nothing too extreme, just coffee and books. Like they used to. When He would listen to tara go on and on about the new fantasy book she was reading. She would be embarrassed, but Seth never made fun of her.

Tara walks out with a light purple sundress that reaches her mid-thigh. Her hair was curled as she adjusted the lipstick. she did a light spin in the mirror. Seth appears wearing black trousers. He had a dark red sweater with his collar shirt picked out. He put some boots on to make him taller." you are already taller than me; why are you wearing boots."

"So I can reach the extra high shelves," Seth said, looking at her. she did another spin and posed, making him smile. "Ready?"

"Always." tara took his hand, and they walked to his car. He opened the door for her, and tara rolled her eyes. Seth gets in the driver and gives Tara the ox cord. He pulls out and laces a hand on her tight as he drives. And she controls the music. and sings along.

Tara kept on looking at him and smiled."So cute, bunny."Seth said, bringing her hand to his mouth and kissing it.

They made it to the coffee shop. Tara felt the breeze against her skin." I have a hoodie in my trunk; ill give it to you when you get cold."

"You so prepared, aren't you, "Tara said, giggling as he held open the door for her. They ordered their drinks and sat outside.

"How's training? Mom keeps me updated. You are getting stronger, but every class."Seth asked.

"I'm stressed; I have to worry about if I cast the curse properly or if I'm strong enough. And if we will make it to the next day."

"Tara, bunny. Calm down."Seth said, holding her hand."All you need to do is cast the spell, ill be right next to you."

"Countess Barbra is like one of the most powerful Witches; even your mother is impressed with the women."

"but she's insane; yeah, she's strong, but she doesn't have any way to keep her in check. We have each other, and nobody will get in the way of that."Seth said, holding her hand. "together, we will end that sick bastard."

tara pushed her to head back and looked away for a second."Your father told me how Jonah died; I'm sorry you had to watch it. I'm happy you are with me; I couldn't lose you because I need my big bad wolf. Whom I've never seen turn."

"Yes, you have. That night when we first met."

"I left before I could see anything, you dork. Tara said, pushing his arm."When will you show me what you look like."Tara pouted.

"Not anytime soon, bunny," Seth said, kissing her hand. They got up from their chairs and walked to the nearest bookstore. Tara skipped inside, and Seth laughed. she went to The fantasy sections.

"You have that book, remember, "Seth said he was, looking at the cover.

"yeah, but it's the hardcover version.'Tara said, looking at the cover.

"what's it about anyway," Seth said, looking at another book

"Uh, fantasy realms and faires have-." tara caught herself before she fished."Just innocent fantasy stories."

"What where you are going to say?"Seth asked, leaning towards her.

"innocent fairy stuff."

"Do you read about sex, bunny?"

"no, it's smut. There's a difference." star said, putting the book away and walking away.

"Do all your stories have 'smut' in them, "Seth asked, following behind her. Tara just kept quiet and looked at cookbooks. Seth caged her between the shakes and him." I'm taking no answer as an answer, bunny."Seth whispered in her ear. "I have an idea."

"What type of an idea," Tara asked, her eyes looking up.

"Get another book like eh ones you have at home. You lay on my bed and read me my instructions; I know that dirty little head of yours fantasies about me."Seth smirked, looking at her. he held her waist as his breath trailed down her neck. I see

tara just blushed and turned around."oh lord." tara said as she covered the head and face, and Seth dragged his nose back."I have enough at home."

Tar grabs his hands and asks the bookstore owner, and they get back in the car.
