Perfect.
I didn’t want to electrocute myself before I’d kissed him on the lips.
“I’ll do my best.” The worst-case scenario seemed to be that nothing would happen, so I wasn’t worried about it. “I just place my hand on the panel and focus my thoughts. Energy. Magic. Privacy. I can do that.”
Hopefully without having to let him go because I was enjoying myself at the moment. It’d felt like I’d waited years instead of days to finally have him in my arms, and I wasn’t in any hurry to let him go.
“That is correct.” Klynn closed his eyes, pressing harder against me. “Very correct.”
My needy boy.
We’d fix that in a moment.
After I got the fucking privacy shield up.
Privacy.
I needed privacy to take care of my boy because he couldn’t always be in charge of it. He needed me to be able to take care of him.
I would take care of my boy.
Moving my hand off his hip, I smiled as he whined but I stayed focused on the task at hand. Privacy. The smooth metal of the square panel looked like silver and was cool to the touch, but it quickly warmed as I closed my eyes and focused my thoughts.
With one hand on the wall and one on Klynn’s chest, it felt almost like I was a circuit as I thought about the energy I felt around magic, about protecting Klynn, and about showing him I could adapt to his world.
I needed magic.
I needed privacy.
I needed to protect my boy.
I needed magic.
I needed privacy.
I needed to protect my boy.
I needed magic.
I needed privacy.
I needed to protect my boy.
“You did it.” There was enough pride in Klynn’s voice to make me smile as I opened my eyes. I hadn’t felt anything different that I could explain, but I felt ten feet tall as I saw the light coming from the strange panel. “The light pink color on the panel means it is activated. You did it.”
“I had a good teacher.” And a strong will not to fuck it up. “But now I think it’s time that we test out this shield and see just how much privacy we have.”
Before duty and insanity called again and could interrupt us.
Chapter 5
Klynn
Part of me wanted to understand more about how my human could relate to the magic around us, but plans changed when his lips came down to meet my neck again.
He liked that part of me.
“What do your limits say about cuddling with me on the couch?” Kissing along my neck, he chuckled when I made a low sound of need. “I think that’s a yes, but let me hear the words.”
Yes.
Words.
Verbal words were important at this stage of our relationship.
“That…that would be within my limits.” He was teasing me, but it made him happy, so I let him. “Touching more would…would be within my limits too.”
My human made a low, pleased sound that was almost a growl and his teeth nibbled on my neck. “Touching you is well within my limits too.”
That was wonderful.
My human was touching me.
“I…I did not understand how good this would feel.” My confession got another soft sound from my human and he rocked forward to rub his erection against my body. “This is…”
I’d thought just being his friend would be enough but this showed just how wrong I had been.
“This is amazing.” Using his teeth on my ear, he made a quiet groaning noise as I whined and pushed back against him. “You’re so sexy, baby. Let me hear you again.”
Me.
I was sexy.
My movements and the sounds I gave him.
Me.
“I…I like your tight hold. The way. It.” I had reached the point where I wanted our bond so he would understand what I needed.
I wanted to grumble and stomp my feet like some of the submissives in my books, but I wasn’t sure how to show that to my…my mate.
“You’re frustrated. I can feel it.” He did not indicate if it was through our bond or it was simply a human way of expressing his feelings, but he was not angry with me. “What are you thinking, baby?”
“That I do not like having to use words and I would like to show my frustration.” My slightly irrational response got a chuckle from him but it was quickly followed by a human sound that indicated understanding. “They are…difficult.”
“You’re not used to talking about how you feel. That’s got to be a hard change for you, but I’m very glad you’re trying for me.”
He understood.
Yes.
Nodding to give him a visual indicator of my agreement, I sighed because that was a good response too. “Just for you.”
That pleased him and his arms tightened around me again, pinning me against his body. “How about if I reward you for being such a good boy for me.”
Many Dominant individuals in books used the phrase without it indicating a desire for a Daddy- based relationship and I couldn’t help wondering how my human saw the words. “I…I like rewards.”
