Her heart beat wildly at the ache and need in his beautiful voice. She placed her palm on his and the contact sucked all the breath from her body instantly.

“Breathe, Tresor,” he whispered as her hand shook against his. He pressed in, forming a solid connection. “Seeme.”

His hot beg brought the power rushing out in answer. It devoured everything in its path, sucking up the sounds in his blood and using it to plow deep grooves in her mind where it would deliver all the information. Next came the vibrations, so many, so strong. He slid his fingers through hers and locked their hands together tightly, forcing her to go deeper, so much deeper than she’d ever been in anybody.

“Breathe Tresor,” he ordered as she fought the current of energy filling her up.

Her mouth opened wider and wider as the vibrations merged with the sounds until a high-pitched squeal filled her ears. Oh God, she was falling inside him, spinning in her own mind and body. Something hot suddenly pressed on her mouth and a blast of air filled her lungs as his fingers held her jaw tight. He waskissingher!

Her gift did strangely, making some kind of u-turn, almost leaving her behind to feel his mouth,histongue!Oh, how itmovedall over hers with its very own power.

“I’m yours,” he said right in her mouth. “You’ll always have me, Tresor. Do you feel what you do to me? Do youtasteit?”

Taste it.

The words yanked something inside her and she pulled free of his hand, using both to hold his face, hold his perfect mouth right on hers as shetastedhim. Her gasps grew louder and harder with the incoming vibrations this brought. They entered every part of her, every micro-inch of her body, her gift cycling faster than she could fathom, until it held her so tight she couldn’t move. This was it, the power’s climax. It dissected everything it gathered then that triggered the part in her mind holding the answers to all his problems.

Panic struck her as she remembered that her gift made her experience the pain and trauma of whoever it touched then take it all from her memory once it gave her the answers. And it was only during this collection phase that she recalled this. Each time she wished to escape what was coming but couldn’t, and even now her scared whimpers filled her ears, tears poured and her chest tightened as all Ace’s ugly secrets got whispered to her.

The moment her gift thrust her into his hell, she remembered another thing that she only knew when it was happening, never after. This brutal part was more than her mind could take. She wasn’t sure how or why it did this, she only knew that when she woke up, only the sounds of his healing would remain in her. Nothing else.

“Sophie!”

****

A familiar alarm jolted Rukem off the couch. He raced to the counter for his phone, his pulse at full-blown panic as he realized what it was. Sophie’s bio-metric alarm. His hand shook as he slid through the prompts, getting to the read outs. “Fuck,” he gasped, seeing all her vitals were fine. He was going to kill that fucking Marsh Mutt. Before he could find his number, a call came in.

“What’s wrong!” he answered.

“Sophie collapsed, I was touching her hand and…then I…”

“What did you fucking do!” Rukem yelled.

“I fuckingkissedher!” he yelled back.

Instant fury froze Rukem. “You fuckingwhat?”

“She has a pulse, she’s breathing. Tell me what to fucking do.”

The sound of Ace’s panic only added to his fury. “You bring her back here, that’s what you do. You put her in a fucking neurological overload coma. She needs immediate symptomatic treatment.”

“What the fuck is that?” he gasped. “Will she be okay?”

Rukem held his jaw together when rage made it impossible to speak.

“Will she fucking be okay!”

Rukem jerked the phone from his ear a second before the ear-splitting decibels reached his eardrum. “You bring her to merightnow,” he said, pacing like a madman.

“Please…just tell me she’ll be okay.”

The raw agony in his voice met up with Rukem’s fury, bringing him to a halt. He closed his eyes and forced the words from his mouth. “She needs monitoring. I have everything for it here, it’s not the first time it’s happened. It happens when the stimuli is more than she can stand. Her mind… fuckingfracturesto protect her and I can only guess how fucking good thatisn’tfor her when it happens.” His fury was back as he gasped, shaking his head. “Itoldyou, Ace. I fuckingtold youthis!”

Shakey breaths filled the phone before his, “I’mfuckingsorry.”

The tormented words pummeled his need to kill him.

“Rukem, sheneededthis,” he swore to him quietly. “More than fuckingair, you hear me? I love her and I wouldneverhurt her, I would die a million times to protect her, you have to know that.”
