Iclung to Bran for the short drive home with Buddy draped across my lap. I still couldn’t see him, but I felt him now and I knew if he wanted me to, I could see him. Bran parked in front of the house and turned off the engine, but neither of us moved.

“I thought I lost you today,” he whispered.

“I’m sorry. I never meant to worry you.” I unclipped the seat belt and moved closer to him. “Maybe we should work on some protections.” He smiled but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Hey, I promise that won’t happen again.” Bran looked down and his eyes slid shut before he drew in a deep breath and turned to face me.

“That’s the problem. Neither of us can promise it won’t happen again. Both of us are touched by forces we can’t control, and don’t know how to combat. I want to keep you safe so bad it killed me knowing there was nothing I could do.” His eyes welled with tears, and seeing how upset he was, tore at my heart. Pulling him to me I kissed the top of his head.

“I promise I won’t ever allow myself to be put in a situation where you aren’t there when I’m vulnerable. Would you mind if we started using our abilities a little more so I can get more confident? I really don’t want to do something wrong.”

He smiled then and turned to face me. “You and I both know you can’t promise that. But I do love you for saying it. Let’s both work on familiarizing ourselves with our abilities, and make sure we each know how the other’s works. Then I think we really need to explore more protections and maybe some escape plans just in case you get trapped somewhere or the wraith tries to do to us what it did to Edith. I’m not willing to lose you.”

“I love you. There’s literally not one other person in the whole world that would put up with my weirdness and still love me back,” I said before kissing him. He kissed me back and wrapped me in his arms. His warmth and the feel of his stubble and soft lips against mine grounded me and reminded me I was safe, and he loved me too.

“The more love we surround ourselves with the weaker it makes the evil that wants to consume us. I love you, and I need you so badly. I want to show you how much I love you and feel your body close to mine,” he whispered next to my ear, making me shiver and start to harden.

“Let’s go inside, I need you.” Buddy was off and out of the car before I could slide across the seat and open the door. Bran held his hand out for me as he met me next to the car. The heat between us started to build until everything about him was all I could focus on. His scent and touch were like fire burning me up in the flames of passion I had no way of denying or resisting.
