“Don’t worry, I won’t access your mind,” he said, hoping he sounded reassuring.
It took a few saics for Leah to respond. Finally, she stopped biting her lower lip and torturing Taryn with the sight. “What if I want you to access it?”

LEAH
Leah didn’t know where that spike of courage had come from, but she realized shereallywanted Taryn to read her thoughts. It felt weirdly intimate, something she could only share with him and him alone.
And, aside from how hot it made her feel all of a sudden, it also meant Taryn could seeher. All of her, with literally nothing to hide, and she could do the same for him.
If they saw their depths and still wanted to be Lightmates, nothing in this world could break that.
She already knew she wanted him. Not just now. Forever.
But he had to have the same opportunity to see what skulked inside her mind.
“I mean…” she went on when he remained still and silent. Had she crossed a line? He had mentioned he was proud of the fact that he hadn’t used his Zavorian mind reading skill, but she’d assumed it was because he didn’t want people to know, so nobody had offered? Maybe she’d been naive. What if she had offended him. “Only if you want to–”
“I do,” he said in one breath, chest rising and falling rapidly. As if he was trying to keep himself on a leash. “So much.”
His pupils were rounding into black orbs at a rapid pace. A few more moments and his eyes would turn eerily dark. Leah couldn’t wait. He looked so alien and so unlike her, it made him even hotter.
“Okay…then what’s the problem?” she asked, still confused. “Does it hurt?”
“No, not at all.” He gulped. Big, bad, intergalactic-spy, former-heir-to-the-Zavorian-throne Taryngulped. “I am told it feels amazing if both beings want it. I’m not sure if you do, though.”
“Well…” Leah grasped one of his large palms, bringing it closer to her head. “Can’t you tell if I’m telling the truth?”
A shiver ran through Taryn as he closed his eyes, as if trying to reign himself in. A moment later, he popped them back open. They were black and endless.
Gently, his hand grabbed the base of her neck, pinkie resting on her spine. Leah instantly felt tingles coursing through her back.
Their auras began to coil around each other, the connection pulling taught. She inhaled sharply. She could feel so much of him. His desire for her, which was turning her on even more. How much he already cared for her, which melted her heart.
She could feel his thoughts, just…bare emotions. Like shadows of the real thing.
“Do you want me to access your mind, truly, and read every thought that crosses it while we are connected?” he asked. It sounded ancient, like a ritual.
“Yes,” she said, infusing her mind with her desire.
Taryn smiled, wide and open, showing off his fangs. “Then we will know pleasure unlike any other.”
Yes, please.
“No,” he whispered against her lips. “The pleasure is all mine. I get to satisfy you.”
How could she control herself when he said things like that?
Who says you have to control yourself?He chuckled against her neck, sounding deliriously happy. As if he’d been parched his entire life and was finally getting his first sip.
Leah gasped. “I can hear you!”
“I’m projecting very loudly.” He rolled his tongue against her nipples, making Leah arch her back shamelessly. “You are, too.”
Whatever barriers had existed between them seemed to fall apart the longer they communicated through their thoughts.
Yes, like that.
