Hit it.
With barely a flick of a thought, she sent a blast straight at the rock, though she withheld most of her power. When the killing energy hit, the rock flipped into the air, then landed almost back in the same spot.
His deep voice hit her mind. Dead on. Let’s do it again.
For the next fifteen minutes, he settled on dozens of objects one after the other. He’d also give her parameters for the hit. Blow the leaf off the tree or just cause it to wiggle. Make that rock jump five feet in the air or shift it to the left a centimeter.
She worked at becoming easy with his commands and with his telepathic presence next to her. She got so she could respond within seconds to both the object and the killing strength. He was helping her build control.
When she’d reached the point she could respond instantly to his commands and each hit was perfect, she stopped.
Drawing away from him, she turned to face him. “You know what we should do. Why don’t we try distance?” She gestured to the wall behind him. “Let’s try you there and me here.”
“Good idea. We should know if separation matters.”
“Or how far apart we can be and still work this skill.”
He took a quick look behind him then levitated backward landing a few inches in front of a sage plant. “Go ahead and face away from me.” His voice entered her mind once more. The base of the sissoo, tap the yellow flower of that weed.
She lifted her arm and let her killing power bounce off the flower.
He followed with three swift commands which she hit in stride. She turned to face him. “Easy-peasy.”
His lips curved. For some reason, her comment made him smile. He looked young and relaxed. Her heart constricted hard. She wished she wasn’t so attracted to him. His green eyes flashed and with another sweep of levitation, he landed right in front of her again.
She couldn't have looked away from him if she'd tried. His wolf scent, laced heavily with Madagascar vanilla, surrounded her in a sudden rush. “Oh, Braden. How am I ever –”
He quieted her thoughts with his lips pressed to hers. She was so overcome, she parted her lips and had the supreme pleasure of feeling his tongue glide inside.
Her knees buckled, but he caught her and held her upright. He kept on kissing her as well, thrusting and exploring her mouth. She’d forgotten how much she savored the pleasure of kissing, of feeling a man invade her in what was a very personal way.
She slid her arms around his neck. Though they’d already had sex, this felt different. She knew him better and they were working as a team. This time, she was choosing to be closer.
His body arched over hers and she heard a growl rumble in his throat.
She drew back and saw that his green eyes now held a rim of gold. His nostrils flared. He looked like a wolf. She stroked his cheek. “I’m feeling the need to shift, probably because I was near death.”
“I can feel it, too, as though your sanity requires it.”
“It does. No question. But what I really need is a place to run. Though I should warn you, I’ll want sex afterward. I’ll need it and because you could be my mate, you’ll be in the cross-hairs.”
She shivered. Everything was so different with Braden. This was sex on steroids and because she’d already had a taste, she wanted more. No, she craved more.
“I’m not saying no.”
He kissed her again.
With his tongue pummeling her mouth once more, she swept her hands down his shoulders and gripped his arms. She wanted to feel his muscles flex beneath her touch as they had when he’d been driving into her.
She pressed her body closer to his but it wasn’t long before he drew back. “I could take you right now.”
“And I’d let you but I know you’ve got to shift. How about we head to a park?”
“Good idea. There’s one not far from here and you can practice your levitation. But you should know that if we leave the Landing, there’s a chance Gammet may still be hunting for me. Or for you.”
“Then we’ll deal with it.”
He pulled her tight against him once more. “Do you have any idea how much I like you?”
