Chapter Fourteen

Tennessee

So that’s why you smell like rain.

Did I smell like rain? No one had ever told me so before. I mean, it made sense. Water and Earth were two of my gifts. But why would she say it like it was a good thing? She’d smiled and said rain like it was magical. I scrubbed my face with my palms. Or maybe I was overanalyzing everything she did and said. Snap out of it.

I pulled my cell phone out of my back pocket, clicked the button…and cursed. It had only been forty-five minutes since I sent everyone away, and my thoughts on her were spiraling out of control and consuming me. We had a few more hours left on the water before we arrived. I’d be a mess if I didn’t get my head on straight.

I needed to get Tegan off my mind or we might not even make it to Crone Island. The more I thought about her, the rougher the seas got. My magic was tied to my emotions. Every time I pictured her face, the boat would creak and rock. Every time I remembered the way her fingers felt tracing my Mark, a hurricane-force gust of wind slammed into my face and pushed me over. If I didn’t get control of myself, I might capsize the damn sailboat.

“Tennessee?”

I spun around. Tegan. There she was, staring up at me with wide, pale green eyes. Even with only the moon and stars for light, the vibrant color of her eyes shimmered like gemstones. My heart skipped a beat then kicked into hyper speed. Adrenaline rushed through my veins like electricity. This is not control, Tennessee.

“Hi…” She smiled up at me, and my stomach filled with butterflies.

I cleared my throat and prayed my voice wouldn’t betray me. “You’re supposed to be sleeping.” Really? That’s how you greet her? Don’t be a jerk.

“I couldn’t sleep.” Her smile curved higher on one side. I couldn’t see the color of her skin in the moonlight, but the way her gaze darted to the ground told me she was blushing. When she looked back up at me, there was a twinkle in her eyes. “I was thinking about you.”

Heat spread through my body like she’d touched me. I gripped the railing behind me to stop myself from reaching out to her. Each beat of my heart thudded in my ears, blocking out the sound of the wind racing by.

“What were you thinking about?” Was that MY voice? Good God. It was too low, too rough and raspy.

Tegan stepped forward until there was only an inch between us. She craned her head back to look up at me. I was only like six inches taller than her. I’d only have to tip my head down a little to kiss her.

What? No. Stop thinking like that. You’re not kissing her again. I cleared my throat again. “We’ll explain more stuff about The Coven when we get to the Crones’ island. They’ll help us get your magic unlocked.
