“Anyway,” Flora brought Cara’s attention back to her. “Because of the unique genetic makeup of your mates, your chances of power exchange are even better than mine.”
Cara smiled, excited by the news. “I say we find out.”
The males had no objection, so they all made their way to the converted cargo bay. The area was small, but empty so there was nothing to destroy even if one of Cara’s fireballs got away from her. Merrik opened the doors, removing the front wall of the room. A modified energy field kept them from being sucked out into space, yet it would allow pulses of energy to pass right through.
“Why don’t you guys get used to how the power triad feels and then I’ll see what else you can do?”
“Would you like a chair or a crate or something?” Cara asked as Flora glanced around the empty bay.
“I’m good.” She simply slid down the wall and sat cross-legged on the deck.
“Do not let her distract you,” Tov warned. “I’m not above disciplining you in front of your cousin.”
Cara placed her hand on his chest and said, “I would rather have you reward me with a nice hard spanking when we return to our cabin.”
His stern expression melted into a sexy smile. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
Cara had seen recordings of power triads in action, her cousin’s included, so she knew how it worked. She stood flanked by her mates. Their arms wrapped around her back. Merrik would feed her energy, Tov would control the intensity and speed, but it was her responsibility to shape and target the flow, so she needed her hands free.
“Display target one,” Tov said to the computer and a holo-image appeared in the center of the energy field.
Cara had been burning through targets for weeks. She just had a much larger store of energy to draw from now. But Merrik didn’t just allow her to access his energy, he skillfully fed it to her. She’d intended to create an apple-sized ball, but the pulse that burst from her hand was roughly the size of a Volkswagen Beetle.
Tov chuckled. “I think you are trying a little too hard. This mission calls for subtlety, not demolition.”
“Sorry. I just wasn’t expecting it to be so easy. I’ll tone it down.”
“Easy?” Flora slid back up the wall and moved closer to the newly bonded triad. “That was easy for you?”
Cara shrugged. “All of this has come easily to me. What I lack is control.”
“Then I need to try harder,” Tov said softly. “You are still like a wildfire in my mind.” Tov pushed one of his hands up into her hair, making a loose fist. Then he wrapped his other around her throat, his fingers firm but not hurtful. “Try it again.”
Cara tensed for a moment. The pose was aggressive and so reminiscent of last night that desire washed over her. They had fucked her three times. Each time had been unique and overwhelming. When she finally fell asleep she was—
“Focus,” Tov chided, fingers subtly tightening in her hair.
Centering her mind with a slow, deep breath, she stared at the center of the target. A thin stream of light arced across the room and shot through the bullseye.
“Much better,” Merrik praised.
They practiced for a couple of hours, alternating the size and shape and finally progressing to targets that moved. Cara found it easier to concentrate with the physical reminder of Tov’s control. Each time she became distracted or started to lose control, his fingers tightened and his presence in her mind became inflexible.
“Do you use visualizations?” Flora asked when they took a short break around midmorning.
“I started with visualizations, but I’ve always been a tactical learner.”
“Even if you weren’t programmed for power exchange, your abilities are really impressive.”
Cara smiled, pleased by the praise.
“Are you ready to challenge yourself?”
Cara looked at her mates. “Are we?”
Merrik shrugged. “You two do all the work. I’m just the Energizer Bunny.”
His reference to an Earth ad character was so unexpected that Cara just stared at him in shock. Then she looked at Flora and they both cracked up.
