“Attempt to elongate it.” Akoni extended his arm. “See if you can get it to touch my palm.”
I bit my lower lip, alternately pulling in at the same time I tried to wrestle the rush of power to the tiny streamer. The streamer needed what felt like a huge amount of magic to make it manifest visually at all, much less control it and keepsquishing.
Squiiiiiisssssshhhhhhh.
“Feels like shoving a fatberg through a pipe,” I muttered.
Akoni waved his palm.
I fought with the streamer but couldn’t quite get it to touch. Came up about an inch short. I reeled in the magic as I felt the teeter-totter feeling start.
Getting frustrated screwed with my mental balance. And wielding magic felt like wearing pointe ballet shoes. Not that I’d ever taken ballet. Much less worn pointe shoes, but justlookingat them saidthat’s how I break both my ankles. The ribbons laced around my forearms did look like the lacings on ballet slippers.
“Let all of it go,” Akoni instructed.
Grateful, I dropped the magic. Auryn leaned over the back of the couch and quickly kissed my shoulder. “Good job.”
I rolled my eyes.
“Reward time?” Auryn rumbled, sliding one hand around my front to cup one of my breasts. Akoni watched with interest and chided Auryn, “Gentle, drake. Not too much.”
Auryn raked his teeth down my neck and whispered, “One day.”
I quivered with anticipation of the return of one day.
“This is an improvement.” Akoni’s voice was velvet as Auryn’s fingers grazed my nipple.
“Enjoying watching, serpent?” Auryn taunted him.
Akoni looked away from me to over my shoulder.
Keon came around the bend.
His timing was perfect.
Maybe. Depended on how he felt about “recess.”
He had two bags with him. He dropped them on the floor at his feet. “Tell me Akoni doesn’t steal the blankets.”
Akoni snorted.
I caught myself before I made a Very Big Deal out of something Keon’s bright blue gazebeggedme to not make a big deal of. Instead, I casually stretched and draped myself across Auryn’s shoulders. Akoni gave my ass a fondle. I booted him in the thigh. “Nope. He’s a very polite sleeper.”
Auryn sighed. “But she does. She’s a burrower. All your blankets are now her blankets.”
Keon’s expression didn’t change, but he seemed to smile more. “I noticed when we were in Virginia.”
“For a woman who panics if we roll her up and fondle her,” Auryn told me, “you do enjoy turning yourself into a burrito.”
“I never got a reward.” I pouted at Auryn.
“Success is its own reward.”
I indulged in my most intense pout. “You know what Ireallywanted.”
“What did she really want that you denied her?” Keon asked. “And why were you rolling her in a blanket?”
“Shifting training, and she wanted to watch us play with each other while she was trapped,” Akoni said.
