Hunter pulled up to the tattoo parlor in a dark blue sedan ten minutes before four, just as my shift was ending.

After dinner at a downtown steakhouse, we made our way toward the theater. Filled up on steak and mushrooms with baked potato, I felt sated and content beside this amazing guy.

The roads were slick, so he drove slowly, leaving us plenty of time to sit close and talk. Heat kept the car toasty, and Hunter’s hand felt wonderful in mine, big and gentle.

At a stop light, he lifted my hand and placed a kiss on my knuckles. My skin tingled. Never had I felt so comfortable with anyone in my life.

Some small part of me shouted to pull away, but I shut the voice out. Just this once, I would do something only for me, something I might never get to do again. Tonight, I’d let myself live. I relaxed in the seat and let my hand remain in his, where it belonged.

“So, which Bond movie is your favorite?” he said, looking sidelong at me.

“None.” I smiled when he cocked his head at me. “I don’t like them. I have this problem with sexist pigs, but it’s the best thing playing now.”

His teeth flashed at my snark. “You should have told me. We can see something else.”

I raised a brow at him. “Would you rather watch WALL-E, then?”

“If you want.” He chuckled.

“Seriously?”

We hit a patch of ice and the tires slid, skidding sideways. Hunter turned in to the skid. “Shit. Oooh, Christ.” We spun, skidding toward the long ditch that ran beside the road.

Panic gripped me. My hands shot up, pushing out at the ice that covered the road without my even knowing why.

The ice turned to water and the tires went through it with a slushing sound. Through the blood rushing in my ears, I heard Hunter swear. The car spun again, and I snapped my eyes shut, willing it not to go over the side of the embankment. Part of the front tires slid over.

“Stop,” I whispered, hands still up. Light glowed from my hands, pure, vibrant white, like two small suns. The car’s front end teetered. “Stop, stop, stop.”

The car slowly started sliding backward onto the road. When we sat safely on the road again, I lowered my hands, the light fading. The car stopped dead. Hunter had switched it off and now stared at me.

“Are you okay, Hunter? Are you hurt?” I reached for him.

He slowly lifted his hand, halting mine before I touched his shoulders. His mouth was turned down, eyes locked on my hands.

Oh, crap.

“What the holy fuck was that?”

Damn, I hated how unsettled he looked. He wouldn’t let me touch him.

Years ago, I’d learned that when I used magic and the Dragonlords came, they’d been drawn by the same wolf from my dream, not my powers. I looked around for the wolf, but I saw no sign of him. He didn’t always appear when I used powers, either. Even so, I couldn’t take an unnecessary chance.
