Chapter Twenty-Three

“Oh my god.” I gasped, paralyzed with uncertainty at the realization that we could read each other’s minds.

Aiden lifted me and carried me back to the rock. He pulled me into his chest, giving me a comforting squeeze.

“Shhh, it’s okay. Don’t be afraid. I’ll explain it to you. It’s a normal ability for someone part fae.” His voice was soothing. He ran his hands through my hair, caressing my back and shoulders.

I felt the pounding in my chest diminish.

Are you okay now? He asked gently, entering my consciousness.

I swallowed, unsettled by the foreign sensation and pulled back enough to stare up at his face. His eyes were serious, his concern apparent.

I did a mental inventory of my insides. I was shaken, but I felt fine. I squared my shoulders and lifted my chin, cocking an eyebrow in a devilish mien. Reaching out with sure fingers, I caressed the side of his face.

I’m fine, and I don’t remember telling you to stop.

Aiden laughed, a deep rumble. He captured my hand and kissed my palm. He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and mimicked my gesture, caressing the side of my face. You are so beautiful, so strong. You are unlike any mortal I’ve ever met.

That’s because I’m not a mortal. I thought back, teasingly. You said so yourself.

He laughed. No. You aren’t, are you? He scooped me up and carried me to a grassy spot nearby, laying me down before settling next to me.

I’d had enough of him being in charge. Before he could protest, I sat up, pushed him back on the grass and mounted him, grinning with delight at his groan.

It was my turn. He grabbed hold of my hips. I swatted his hands away, reveling in my newfound confidence. I sank down on him with a moan.

He threw his head back with a deep groan. We rocked together in an ancient dance, moving as if we’d been made for each other until the skies opened-up above us and rain began to spill down on our love nest.

Thunder rumbled and fat drops of water hit my back. Aiden gripped my hips. This time I let him. The storm was but a distant fury. I could see nothing but him beneath me. We were stillness in-the-midst of chaos, enclosed in our own private world, untouched by the world around us. I felt his essence mingling with my own and we floated together on a cloud of bliss. Suddenly a great boom shook the ground, shattering the illusion and we came together.

The world exploded before my eyes in a flash of light and sparks and I cried out with joy, pleasure coursing through my veins. Aiden came with me, calling my name and then flipping us over and rolling on top of me.

The storm around us raged as we lay there in the rain, folded in each other’s arms. Aiden kissed me on the forehead and I began to cry.

“What’s wrong?’ He asked softly in a concerned voice.

I stared up at him, unable to speak.
