Sugar, spice, and everything nice. When Abigail said this story was my catnip, she wasn't kidding. Clark Wilson is a himbo with a heart of gold and had never met someone he hasn't turned into a friend (whether they like it or not). But the new witch in town is avoiding him like a plague, and that's just something Clark can't abide.

Nelly Ortega is not what anyone in town was expecting as the new Flora and Fauna Conservator. All bright colors and gangly limbs compared to her orcish neighbors, but she seems to be holding her own. If only her pesky neighbor Clark would stop leaning passive aggressive notes for her.

A blizzard, a car accident, an accidental witchbond, and appearance of the khol, Nelly and Clark find themselves snowed in for a helluva few days. Clark is over the moon at what this means, Nelly is beside herself with guilt thinking she's ruined Clark's life. He falls first and he falls HARD. Clark is Orc Clark Kent. 100% NPDA prime BEEFCAKE and a consummate gentleman. Clark Wilson is a King of Consent. He lets Nelly set the pace for their new dynamic and is determined to let her lead as he shows her just how good a mate he can be.
