The gorgeous brunette clenched her hands into fists at her sides, her torn blouse gaping just enough to reveal the swell of her artificially enhanced cleavage as her chest heaved in anger

"You&039;ll never get the best of me, you black-hearted Warlock!"

The Warlock, whose shirt had been conveniently ripped off during the struggle with the Enchantress, stood facing her, his clenched, just slightly unshaven jaw and black eyes flashing defiance "Oh, but I already have," he said in a sexy growl

"What are you waiting for? Vanquish him!" shouted the blonde, an innocent bystander whose boso

The Witchbook, which she had opened to a faded parch her chin, she read aloud in a rather tedious monotone, " &039;By your oer of dark and fear, Warlock, you are out of here!&039;"

The Warlock flung his arh the breakaway front door His exit would be much more impressive once they added in the special effects, Melissa supposed There would probably be flashes of fire, inds of s this show for a while now There were always flashes of fire, inds of s roars

The director yelled, "Cut!" and the others in the rooe of her nose between her thuer "That ful It was horrible My Goddess, where are you people getting this stuff?"

"From the writers," a deep voice said

She turned and looked at the guy who, she thought vaguely, should have been playing the sexy "warlock" His eyes were as black as coal and she felt them when they touched her They made her shiver, those eyes She tried to look elsewhere, to notice his careless hair, a little too long, completely unstyled, or his clothes - the way the black polo shirt strained against the push of his chest or the way the jeans hugged his thighs But no, she couldn&039;t focus on anything but those eyes

"Are you new on the set?" he asked

"Um, not yet" She sed hard, wet her lips, told herself to work harder on for coherent sentences, and finally thrust out a hand "I&039;m Melissa St Cloud I have an appointment with Alexander Quinn"

He lifted his brows "Tell me it&039;s about the tech consultant position"

"It&039;s about the tech consultant position"

He so of hers

She tipped her head to one side, wondering who the hell he was A stand-in for the dark warlock? The actors were already heading their separate ways; the two starlets didn&039;t speak soeye contact, the gorgeous et back here I want you to hear this!"

Muttering, they gathered around He nodded at Melissa "Now, tell us rong with that scene"

The brunette shot her daggers "Who is this person?"

"Just be quiet and listen, Rita," he said in that deep, authoritative voice that rubbed all Melissa&039;s nerve endings until they quivered God, she&039;d never been so turned on by aabout him He looked at her, touched her with his eyes She shivered with awareness "Go on What rong with the scene?"

She sed the dryness in her throat "Well that&039;s just not hoorks Reading a line froht be, is not how one casts a spell And a warlock is not a ed looks of disbelief; then they turned on theon here?" the blonde asked

Alex? So he was Alexander Quinn, the creator-slash-executive producer? Why hadn&039;t he said so?

"This is Melissa St Cloud," he told them "She&039;s our new technical consultant"

"On what?" the brunette asked

"On Witchcraft"

All eyes turned toward Melissa She felt herself shrinking a little The actresses were both a good six inches taller than she was and built of little more than skin, bone, and breast implants

"You&039;re an expert on Witchcraft!" the brunette asked "Isn&039;t that kind of like being an expert on, oh, I don&039;t know, the Tooth Fairy?"

The others laughed Alex just watched Melissa, as if waiting to see how she would handle herself

Melissa closed her eyes, got in touch with her inner bitch, and stood a little straighter "I&039;ve been involved in the Pagan community and the study of Witchcraft for fifteen years," she told theh Priestess, a licensed ious studies I teach Alternative Religions classes at UCLA one semester a year, and I&039;ve consulted on seven books on the subject Any hed, studied their nails They did not, however, speak up again
