She frowned "I don’t know if ‘heard’ is the right word, but yeah I knehat you were thinking"
"That’s good Try to do it again, only this ti to show you what I need you to do, okay?"
She nodded and Drake closed his eyes, trying to picture in his ht, a glowing pool of energy inside hi made firm contact with the necklace Iy rush out of hih the luceria until her skin gloith the force of it
He heard her make a shocked sound, but didn’t open his eyes Instead, he visualized taking her hand in his and stretching it out toward the rock He sent the light streaking out froulfed the rock; then slowly, he lifted her hand, ht
Drake opened his eyes to see if she understood Not only did she understand, but she was doing it There was no glowing light, but her hand was held out and the rock hovered three feet off the ground
"You did it," he whispered, not wanting to break her concentration Her bottoht between her teeth and she shook with effort A fine sweat broke out along her hairline, and her chest--her lovely, wo in rapid succession, playing havoc with his concentration
Her arround, and even though she was out of breath, she looked at hiht in her eyes Her h "I can usein her features and the warh their link, Drake couldn’t help but laugh along with her "You sure can"
"That is the coolest thing ever" She twirled around in a circle and for the first time since he’d er had to touch her to be free froh of a connection He wasn’t sure whether he was relieved because it was a lotthe excuse to touch her
He’d just have to co to stop touching her
"I want to try so else," she said

His skin heated until the warainst hireedy for h the link so that she had no choice but to feel it He wanted her to kno nify hers He wanted her desperate for him He craved it
She let out a needy whimper and her whole body softened in his arms
A heady rush of victory sla swept away by the force of it Losing hi, eager, and his for the taking And taking was exactly what he had in ain, only this ti her pleasure He wanted to taste every s hiainst his chest teased hi his hands drove hiainst her so that she could feel just how hard she rass, under the stars She would have let him, too, but some sliver of sanity held him back
He pulled away froht air Crickets sang around theed to hold himself in check
Hera hot line of kisses down his neck Her fingers tangled in his hair and if he wasn’t careful, he was going to be bald trying to separate them
As much as he wanted her, there wasn’t ti he had in iving her their oath The scent of their blood would no doubt draw Synestryn from whichever dark holes they hid in
"We have to stop before we can’t," he told her His breathing was harsh and his body shook in resento
She went still and he realized too late that he’d let too h their link He knew the Synestryn would coe from her She’d felt his anxiety and it had doubled inside her, washing away all traces of lust
