It was clear enough that she wasn't afraid of him or his power. He liked that. He liked a girl with spunk, that was for sure. Always his favorite type. And of course, she knew all his buttons. He was able to only half-listen as she went on about her sensing him while doing her best to completely distract him. He guessed it must be true. At another time he might be worried about that. He had stuff to hide, as most people did. Well, maybe more than most. But right now, all of that was really hard to think about.
It wasn't like women needed a leg up in reading a man's feelings and all. Sheesh! They already were good at it. He'd had to work hard at learning to lie with a straight face. This seemed unfair. Then again, if the pay-off was what she said...well, he knew what the pay-off was. Yes he did. If she was telling the truth, it was why it was so good the first time around. If she was reading him, his own reading of her body language, well, he could believe it. It like one of those...cycles or whatever you called them. Whatever it was, it had be explosive.
Aaaaannnd of course, she started in again in earnest. But then, she suggested something new. "What else can you do with that power of yours?"
She kissed his face. "Just keep in mind I can't read. This will be a new experience for me."
He pulled her against him and laughed deeply in his chest.
"Oh...I can think of all kinds of possibilities."
He rolled her over so he was half on top of her. "I guess it's your turn not to know what's coming next."
A quick prayer and the power-flooded him and suddenly reality became more than reality. Every sense of his was on fire. His breath was ragged and deep.
And all kinds of ideas popped into his head and he smiled and licked his lips. As he began channeling air and kissing her neck, he whispered, "I think you're going to have to call in sick today. Maybe tomorrow too."
Threat of exposure or no, Alex was one friend he was going to keep.
