“Coffee?”Blakeaskedaswe watched Seamus and Finn disappear as though they’d vaporised in the air.
“Yeah,” I drawled my words, watching them as they became lost in sight. “Did they sift here?” I asked. Blake was the only other person I knew who could sift, though it wasn’t as though I went around asking.
“They did. The elves can sift and they don’t hide it.”
“How can you sift?” I asked, turning to Blake. “That’s not a magical trait.”
“They taught me during my training, because of my strengths and now I can sift in and out of dimensions,” he said. “It’s a phenomenal ability if there is ever a war. I can sift in and out, gathering information.”
I grinned. “You look nothing like an elf. Is there some elf in your heritage?”
Blake laughed as we walked to the coffee shop. “Sifting isn’t purely an elf trait. All supernaturals can do it and I said I could train you, you helped me when I did it, so you’d be easy to teach.”
We ordered our coffees and sat in a booth.
“Why did you use electricity and water? You normally stick to stopping people by paralysing them,” he asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. “No idea. Maybe I’m feeling a little mean at losing Ryan still.”
“But not frightened, if you’re prepared to do it again,” he said.
My eyes widened. I shook my head. “Not here,” I said.
“He isn’t here now, is he?” Blake asked.
I shook my head and decided I was fine to talk about him, but not binding. “He could be. Normally I feel him around me, but I have a feeling that is only because he wants me to.”
“Okay,” Blake said. “Would you like to go on a date with me at the weekend? Maybe a quick journey.”
“Oh,” I whispered, because I knew Blake was talking in code. “Anywhere nice? New York?”
“I could take you to New York,” he said and smiled.
“We need longer than a weekend,” I said.
“That depends how much of New York you’d like to see,” he said and winked.
“There is no point in going if we don’t do it right.”
“I could take you to a little place I know,” he said, his blue eye penetrating my gaze. “Nobody knows where it is. It’s remote.”
“Sounds perfect,” I said. “Are you sure you still want that date?”
“I have been desperate for all my dates with you, Lacey, including this coffee date and definitely includingthatdate.”
I gazed at him, chewing on my lower lip.
“It’s terrible what happened to Ryan,” Blake said as though he was reading my mind. “But you have to move on.”
I knew he meant regarding binding rather than in life, but it still scared me. Losing Ryan was heartbreaking. I couldn’t bear to lose Blake. My feelings for him ran deeper since I felt all my mate bonds and I knew deep down he was my final mate bond.
Clay now believed there were only three, though it didn’t mean Ryan wasn’t one. His death meant I never got to feel it to confirm or deny it. And I wasn’t feeling Carter any more.
That surprised me more than anything.
“Latte,” the server said.
