him, and he flashed that sparkling grin again and she giggled. “Again?” she said with surprise.
“Again and again and again and again,” he said seductively while smothering her with kisses.
“Oh, all right – If I have to,” she said and giggled. “But then we go home, feed Harry, and start working on my powers, okay?”
“As you wish, my love!” he answered. Then he rolled her on top of him and kissed her until her toes curled with pleasure.
Chapter 9
The ride home was full of laughter and fun. They joked and talked about all the things they had seen at the aquarium. It truly had been a perfect first date.
She told him how she had concentrated to read his mind that morning and how easy it seemed.
“See, I told you it was just a matter of time. You just had never really tried. Now that you know how, I’ll probably never be able to surprise you again.”
“Well, that’s a bummer,” she said, “because that means I can’t surprise you either. Is there a way to block your thoughts from others?”
“Yes. Remember when you and I connected when I got shot with the crossbow? You described a gossamer sheer area that you were not able to see through. I was blocking that area of my mind. It takes practice, but it can be done. You’ll be able to sense when someone is poking around in your mind and you can put the block up. Blake is very good at this and he might be able to give you some more insight and instruction than I can. I can’t read or block people as well as he can.”
“Well, that will be handy; at least I will be able to surprise you occasionally!” she laughed and he joined in.
“I was hoping that you could give me some information on the healing pouch you gave me. Can you make them for protection too?” he asked her.
“Oh sure, the book lists all kinds of things charms can be used for. Rowan, too, is pretty good at reading runes and tarot cards, which might come in handy.”
“That does sound interesting; is she pretty accurate?”
“More often than not, and she cooks better than me too,” Darby joked.
“Very cool. We should also probably decide who is going where? Ireland or Maine?” he said.
“Definitely,” she said and with that they turned into the driveway of the house next door to hers, behind the Audi.
When they walked into Darby and Rowan’s house, Blake and Rowan were on the couch talking.
“Hey guys,” Darby greeted them. “How’s it going?”
“Good, good…how was your official first date?” Rowan asked.
“Absolutely perfect!” Darby answered.
“In every way!” Devon added and kissed Darby on the cheek as he closed the door. “You?” He looked at Blake.
“Oh, we were able to scrounge up some fun,” Blake replied, sitting with his arm around Rowan who jabbed him in the ribs with her elbow.
“So have you guys thought about what your preference is? Maine? Or Ireland?” Devon inquired.
“Yeah, I think we’ve decided,” Blake looked at Rowan for some indication of agreement. Rowan nodded and Blake continued. “We think it makes more sense for us to go to Maine since I don’t know where the storage stuff is in Ireland. You know where that is and have all the keys and stuff; it just seemed logical to us.” He looked again at Rowan. She turned from Blake to Devon and nodded in agreement.
“Good, then I will get online and look at some times and dates for the tickets for you and Rowan and book our flights into Ireland,” Devon said.
“No 6 A.M. flights, Devon. I know you think you’re funny when you do that, but it will come back to haunt you...trust me,” Blake threatened.
“The flights are cheaper at that time,” Devon argued.
“Fine, I’ll chip in for a 10:00 A.M. flight, okay? Besides, it’s not just me you’re torturing anymore,” Blake said, kissing Rowan on the head. Rowan beamed smugly.
“Yeah. I hear you! No problem!” Devon
“Again and again and again and again,” he said seductively while smothering her with kisses.
