    About this ebook

    The magic of love between women ties Like a Spell: Earth together. Four scorching stories of magical erotica.

    For the Like a Spell anthology project, we asked writers to challenge the traditional tropes and send us something new—original stories of magic users, interesting twists on the typical sorcerers and mages. The response was overwhelming and exciting, and we decided to publish four separate anthologies, using the theme of classical elements (earth, air, fire, and water) as the focus for each collection.
    For the earth anthology, we’ve focused on stories portraying the love between women. When we thought earth, we thought of the Greek goddess Gaia and the Indian goddess Prithvi; we thought of the ubiquitous “Mother Earth” or “Mother Nature”; above all, we thought of fertility and life.

    In “Here I Love,” TS Porter explores the dynamic between a hedgewitch and a wizard. All Primrose and Dulcamara want is to open their own witch’s supply shop—together, even if their kinds typically despise each other—and they embrace their differences in order to do so. But in order to make sure it’s ready for business, there’s one more step needed to make the space their own.

    In “Water and Air,” Janelle Reston shows us an ordinary young woman, Miranda, who is resentful of the magic that runs in her family but that seems to have skipped her. But when Miranda meets a young water witch, she begins to learn more about herself as well. And if she gets to sleep with the pretty witch in the process, well, so much the better.

    Michael M. Jones takes us back to school frustrations in “The Hateful Chime.” Olivia is a hard-working graduate student who prides herself on doing well in class, but she just can’t seem to get the hang of Freeform Magical Techniques. A classmate’s offer to help her study—and a theory about what’s blocking Olivia’s improvisational skills—is too intriguing to pass up.

    Finally, in “Amplitude,” Rae MacGregor shows us that some non-magical people can be desperately curious to see real magic up close. Callie is a physics student and a regular at a local coffee shop, where a new barista has caught her attention in more than one way. One thing leads to another, and soon Callie is offering herself as a guinea pig to test the barista’s magic.

      INTRODUCTION

      ~

      MAGIC HAS CAPTIVATED THE HUMAN imagination for centuries, and magic users, especially, continue to pique our interest. When you think of a wizard, do you think of Merlin? Dumbledore? When you think of witches, do you think of The Wicked Witch of the West? Baba Yaga? What about mages? Necromancers?

      No matter what (or who) you think of when you think of magic, there’s more to the magical arts than love charms and an old, bearded wizard hunched over dusty books. For the Like a Spell anthology, we asked writers to challenge the traditional tropes and send us something new—original stories of magic users, interesting twists on the typical sorcerers and mages. The response was overwhelming and exciting, and we decided to publish four separate anthologies, using the theme of classical elements (earth, air, fire, and water) as the focus for each collection.

      For the earth anthology, we’ve focused on stories portraying the love between women. When we thought earth, we thought of the Greek goddess Gaia and the Indian goddess Prithvi; we thought of the ubiquitous Mother Earth or Mother Nature; above all, we thought of fertility and life.

      In Here I Love, TS Porter explores the dynamic between a hedgewitch and a wizard. All Primrose and Dulcamara want is to open their own witch’s supply shop—together, even if their kinds typically despise each other—and they embrace their differences in order to do so. But in order to make sure it’s ready for business, there’s one more step needed to make the space their own.

      In Water and Air, Janelle Reston shows us an ordinary young woman, Miranda, who is resentful of the magic that runs in her family but that seems to have skipped her. But when Miranda meets a young water witch, she begins to learn more about herself as well. And if she gets to sleep with the pretty witch in the process, well, so much the better.

      Michael M. Jones takes us back to school frustrations in The Hateful Chime.

A classmate’s offer to help her study—and a theory about what’s blocking Olivia’s improvisational skills—is too intriguing to pass up.

      I hope these stories will enchant you the way they enchanted me. When you’re done with these, check out the other elements that make up the Like a Spell series: air (M/F stories), fire (M/M stories), and water (orgy stories).

      HERE I LOVE

      ~

      by TS Porter

      PRIMROSE WAS WAITING AT THE station when the evening train pulled in. There were few passengers, and Dulcamara was among the last to step off. She was little more than an indistinct haze to Primrose’s sight, and she wouldn’t even be that to most, but Primrose could see Dulcamara looking back and forth across the platform. Looking for her. Dulcamara didn’t notice Primrose as she walked up beside her.

      Looking for me, Dulcamara? Primrose asked.

      Primrose! Dulcamara jumped, head snapping toward her. Where did you spring from?

      I’ve been right here, it’s just a little look-away charm. Primrose grinned. It couldn’t keep her unnoticed if she called attention to herself, but she wasn’t bad for a hedgewitch, if she did say so herself. Look at you, miss fancy wizard. Could you get any flashier with that invisibility spell? Primrose asked.

      Graduating top of the class in spellwork has to be good for something, Dulcamara sniffed, but there was a smile under her voice. Here, let me add an exception.... She reached out and took Primrose’s hand, murmuring slightly, and the invisibility spell faded away. Dulcamara looked fresh and neat, even after her long trip. Her thick black hair was all done up in curls under her fashionable little hat, her skirt and blouse perfectly pressed.

      Primrose reached up to cup Dulcamara’s brown cheek in her own paler tanned hand. It’s good to see you, love, she said, leaving off all teasing for a moment.

      You too, Dulcamara answered. "I
