I can express no kinder sign of love, than this kind kiss.

That was all I could think as I clung to Maks for all I was worth. Maks, not Marsum. With my lips locked on his, I reached for whatever strange magic I had in me. Maggi had said the cuffs dampened my power too, but I had to try something. Maybe I could work around them?

Like the doorway I saw in my mind when I shifted shapes, there was another doorway next to it now, one that seemed to glitter and beckon to me. I opened it and the magic poured through me and into Maks.

Score one for the girl who didn’t know a thing about her own magic.

He grunted, maybe surprised, and then his arms were around me, the magic humming between us like the drone of a honey bee hive and about as lazy as a summer day. Curling through us, wrapping us in warmth and with all the love I had in me, I opened myself to it like never before.

Partly the alcohol was to blame, I’m sure, but also partly to blame was Maks. With him at my side, I was braver, bolder, and I believed in more than I could possibly have considered without him.

I couldn’t get enough of him. I couldn’t kiss him deeply enough, long enough. Like I was hungry for him in a way that couldn’t be satisfied. He groaned, or maybe I did. I’m not sure. His hands slid over my waist, under my shirt and along my ribs.

“You’re too skinny,” he mumbled as his lips left mine to trace a line of heat along my jaw and down my neck. The magic went with him and every touch tingled and danced. Yeah, that next groan was mine, for sure. I mimicked him, running my hands under his shirt and over skin that was flushed with heat and desire, muscles tensed and flickering with each brush of my fingertips. The need to pull clothes off and roll around naked on the bare ground was growing wildly out of control.

He bit at my collarbone, then lower, to the top of my breasts. I arched upward, his hands slid to the waist of my jeans and he yanked me forward so I was sitting on his lap, my legs around his waist.

“We’ve been here before,” I whispered right before I bit the side of his neck. He grunted, grabbed my ass and ground me against him.

“I know, and we never did get to see where this would lead.”

Maks, this was all Maks. The magic was doing something. I knew it was. Could I free him from the other Jinn? I slid my hands around his face and into his hair, holding his mouth to mine as if I were under water and he were my only way to breathe. Time slowed, but the magic didn’t. I’d opened that door again and I didn’t know what I was doing with it, only that it was giving me this moment with Maks.
