Chapter 8

Most days passed fairly quickly in the middle. Ryan could honestly say that some weeks seemed like mere hours, minutes even. But today crept along with the speed of thick sorghum syrup in the middle of winter. Slow. Excruciatingly slow for a guy who loved sex and who vividly sensed Monique’s willingness to give him exactly what he wanted. Sex…with her.

Unconventional as it’d be, since this would be an entirely mental joining, Ryan was turned on by the idea of doing something so new, so different, so unique.

So Monique.

From the remainder of the world, even her brothers and cousins, she guarded her emotions, her passion for life, death and spirits. But the truth was she lived for it. She didn’t want to enjoy helping spirits, didn’t want it to be so important, but she couldn’t help it, and that scared her. Ryan knew why, sensed why. She was afraid of getting too attached, then watching whomever she cared about move on. Right now, she was terrified of that happening with Ryan, but she still wanted him while he was here, which was a good thing. Because Ryan definitely wasn’t crossing over until he spent more time, more intimate time, with Monique. They had a connection that went beyond the bond formed between medium and spirit, and he was certain she felt it, too.

If he’d only met her when he was on this side, maybe she would have been “the one” his friends always warned him about, the girl who would match his enthusiasm for life and get him to settle for one female—her. Monique Vicknair was that kind of woman, the kind who made you lose your senses and forget everything else. He’d sure forgotten everything else today.

And Ryan had been on her mind all day, too. He knew it, observed it, absorbed it. A couple of times he’d touched her with his thoughts and had even recognized the precise moment that she acknowledged him holding her, kissing her in his mind.

The entire scenario was intoxicatingly erotic, and he could only imagine how much better it’d be tonight. Now. He’d given her time to come home, work on the house with the family, eat, visit with Nan and Jenee, then prepare for him.

She was sitting on the edge of her bed with her back facing him and her hair pulled up in a sexy twist with long wisps brushing her neck. While he watched, she lifted an antique perfume bottle from the bedside table and sprayed the fragrance beneath each ear, on the inner side of each wrist, and then turned the bottle to face her chest and sprayed some more, leaning her head back as the tingling mist met her breasts.

Ryan’s cock hardened at once.

“I know you’re here,” she murmured, without turning around. “I feel you.”

“I’m here,” he acknowledged. “And I feel you, too.”

“Do you like pink?” she asked, tilting her head to the side and lifting one shoulder as she indicated her hot-pink nightie, its crisscrossing straps beautifully showcasing her back.
