thumped my fist against his chest, backing it with a burst of energy. He flinched, foam
spraying out of his mouth, then nothing. Big appeared on the other side of Dryden s
body, inclining his head to me. Together we worked on our teammate for the next minute,
desperately aware of how quickly time was running out, even for one of us.
Big nodded at me, and we tried again. Focusing on his heart, his lungs, I drew more
power from the earth. Opened myself wide to the energy of my element. Visualized
myself as an enormous conduit directing the life force of the planet straight into the man
before me.
I heard Big curse, then he backed quickly away from Dryden and from me. My
teammate s body had started glowing a bright, violent gold. All the air was sucked out of
the room, into that brilliance, then with a gale force, oxygen blew in to replace it.
I was sent sprawling over Dryden s body. I could hear the thuds and groans of the
others as they were slammed about the room. Softly, at first, I felt the man s heart start to
beat. As it grew stronger, I tapered off on my magic, slowing the flow of it, then capping
it off.
 Holy shit, somebody said behind me. Other voices agreed.
It didn t occur to me they were commenting on my magic; that if I thought about it, I
would have seen that I had wielded more power then I ever had before. All I cared about
was the man on the floor whose color was returning to normal, whose chest rose and fell
as he breathed.
His eyes flickered open, and I was relieved to see that they were his eyes. Admitting
to myself, only then, that I feared they would show me someone or something else inside.
 You ve been bitten. His gaze had dropped to my neck.
 What? I felt along my skin, finding nothing.
He sat up, and placed a finger on the point where my neck met my shoulder.  Here.
He moved his finger to the other side of my neck and touched the same location.  And
here.
As much as I wanted to run to the bathroom and check out his claim, I had to find
out what had happened, before his memory of the event faded.
 What happened to you, Dryden?
 What are you talking about? His confused expression looked genuine.
 You hooked me up with Indor. Who just happened to be some kind of creature none
of us are familiar with.
He blinked. A slow dropping of the eyelids, then lifting them again.  Indor?
As it turned out, not only did Dryden have no memory of the evening, he didn t have
any memory of Indor Brackston at all.

I paired with Evan, and we set out with the other two teams for the southeast sector.
Reinhold had it right, there was a tremendous amount of activity in the area, with both
rogue and pack members roaming about. Our teams split apart to take different sections
of the quadrant, then Evan and I ended up heading away from each other when we came
upon a couple of rogues that ran off in different directions.
The rogue I was following was a vicious one, but new and unaccustomed to fighting
in his half-form. I downed him quickly, my natural energy surging through me, much
more potently than before. I felt great, barely wondering how this change had occurred. I
just took it in stride, then set to work on dissipating the guy s body.
I felt another were coming at my back, so I dropped to the ground, rolled to the side,
and brought my hand up with a defensive spell held right at the tips of my fingers. Fuck.
Why is it the rogues were always so damned good-looking?
He threw a wicked grin at me, the tip of his tongue snaking out to caress his bottom
lip.
 Christ, you smell good. He sauntered towards me with a sexy stride.
I held off blasting him just yet, because there was rogue, and then there was rogue.
Unless he intended to harm me, being a loner was no crime.
With the animal grace of his kind, he knelt over my body, not touching me, but
caging me between his arms and legs. Leaning closer, he brought his face to the side of
my neck, and inhaled. Then he licked me.
 I want you. He nuzzled my neck, his lips working their magic, causing
goosebumps to rise along my flesh.  I bet your pussy s tight. Tight and hot. He had a
low, throaty voice that nearly made me moan. He kissed his way to my mouth, then
hovered over it, his eyes searching mine.
I d just opened my mouth to tell him to back off, when he closed the distance
between us. His mouth danced with mine, in a passionate touching of lips that set fires
burning throughout my body. He worked his legs between my thighs, lowering his hips,
until he was cradled firmly against my sex.
Angling his head, he took the kiss deeper, thrusting his tongue into my mouth,
dominating, demanding. I began kissing him back with abandon, grinding my crotch
against the hard ridge of his erection, wondering if I could use my power to remove the
obstacle of our clothing. I did notice he wasn t being zapped, and wondered if it was just
team members that phenomenon happened to, or if whatever had been causing the
problem was gone.
 Fuck, he said as he broke the kiss, still so close his lips brushed mine when he
spoke.  I don t think I can wait until we get to a bed. He pressed his hips forward,
emphasizing his need.
 Allow me, I breathed, and without thinking about the consequences, I flashed us
into my bedroom, into my bed. I had to find out if I was safe, and since I d promised not
to fuck anyone on the team, this seemed like an opportunity I couldn t pass up.
He took notice of the new location, nearly flying off of me as he swiveled his head,
taking in his surroundings.  You re a witch?
 Among other things. I rocked my hips, trying to get him back to the sex we were
about to have.
The grin he shot me was positively sinful.  Gods, it s going to be good to fuck
someone I don t have to worry about hurting.
He dove on me, eating at my lips, his hands rough as they learned the contours of my
body.  Clothes, he growled, and I spelled them off.
With a minimum of adjustment, he found and pierced my core. Several hard thrusts
later, he was buried to the hilt. Breathing heavily, he rested on top of me for a moment.
 Sweet, he hissed, then started a deep, steady stroke that set my sheath on fire.
Literally. Heat started pouring out of my inner muscles. A sweat broke out across the
werewolf s brow, his rhythm faltering.  Hot, so hot, he mumbled, tucking his hands
under my ass, gripping firmly, and powering on.
By degrees, the heat increased, until it became nearly unbearable. The were valiantly
pounded on, though as a were, his core temperature was higher than mine. Sweat
streamed off both of us and ran into my eyes, so much so that I had to close them.
Just when I thought I would combust, I felt his cock jerk, the coolness of his semen
flooding into the inferno of my vagina.
He made a strangled sound as he continued to spew into my depths. Collapsing on
top of me briefly before rolling off to the side, he said,  No offense meant, babe, but
you re just too damn hot to fuck.
Well, at least I d never heard that line before.  I think I ve been cursed. I turned
onto my side so I could look at him.  I was shocking men yesterday.
He grimaced, one hand drifting towards his groin in a reflex action.
I placed my hand on his stomach, rubbing lightly in small circles.  I m sorry. I was
really looking forward to this, too. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
