Xyell looked at Quade, his expression contemplative. Was this woman processed
with the other priestesses?
Not to my knowledge. I will check the log, but I don t recall seeing that name.
No, I will investigate this prophetic priestess. You have other duties awaiting
you.
Quade inclined his head, despising his helplessness.
Have I proven my value? the priest dared to ask.
Xyell shot him an impatient glance. For now.

Captives
Chapter Eight
Felicia held her breath as Aiden kissed his way down the arch of her neck. His hand
rested on her breast, the thumb teasing her nipple. This had been easier when she was
in control. The memories had seemed irrelevant. He reached her shoulder and lightly
scraped his teeth over her sensitive skin. She shivered and released her pent-up breath.
She would not let Perion invade this moment! She had wasted too many years
punishing herself for his crimes. Aiden s lips brushed against the swell of her breast
and his tongue trailed liquid fire across her skin. He was beside her, not on top of her,
but it didn t seem to matter. She was naked, on her back, and a man was enjoying her
body.
Cold, dark eyes pierced her memory. The cruel twist of thin lips followed a moment
behind. I cannot do this. She pushed Aiden away, unable to still her thundering heart.
He propped himself on his elbow and looked down at her, compassion warming
his green eyes. Talk to me, sweetheart. Tell me what you re feeling.
I thought I could do this, but I cannot. His image is all I see.
How long ago did all this happen? How old were you?
I was fifteen. It has been nine years. She sighed, frustrated by the weakness. I
know I should be over it by now.
I don t think anyone ever gets over something like that. You learn to cope with it
and you minimize its impact on your life, but it will always be part of your past.
She nodded, having come to the same conclusion shortly after it happened.
He sat, pulling her up with him. Wrap your legs around my waist. Let s try
something different.
His hands supported her and guided her into position, face-to-face, bodies inches
apart. Touch me as I touch you. Let s find our way together.
Their mouths met in the middle while their hands explored. She ran her hands up
and down his back and he mirrored her movements. His lips slid over hers and meshed
with hers in a leisurely exchange that left them both breathless.
This was better. So much better. His kiss was addictive and his touch comforted as
much as it aroused. She pulled back for a moment and told him, I think it s being on
my back. It s too similar to&
I understand. He whispered the words against her lips then pressed her against
his body, heart to heart and skin to skin. His mouth lured her deeper into the kiss with
soft strokes and gentle nips. She touched her tongue to his and he curled around her,
drawing her into his mouth.

His fingers ran up and down her sides, knuckles skimming the outer swell of her
breasts. It was barely a touch and yet heat swirled through her chest and pooled low in
her abdomen. She groaned and tightened her legs, trying to bring herself closer.
He grasped her hips and stilled her restless movements. Have you ever touched
yourself?
She shook her head, unwilling to admit she d been afraid of losing her gift as well
as rekindling the hated memories. Her gift was so much a part of who she was. Without
her abilities, she would feel truly useless.
So why was she risking it now?
He took her hand and drew it between their bodies. Her knuckles passed over his
growing erection and he hissed. None of that. It s your turn now.
She barely touched the hair covering her mound then snatched her hand out from
under his. For an instant his fingers covered her pussy then he went after her hand,
stubbornly bringing her fingers back to that secret place between her legs.
I want you to feel why I want you so badly. He curved her hand, pressing her
fingers into her folds.
Why am I so wet? Is that supposed to happen?
Yes, love. That s how your body welcomes mine. Feel how soft and hot your pussy
