for myself . I’ll make it quick, I promise.” Nicolas loved the
     fact that she didn’t want him to leave, but he knew she hadn’t eaten, and he
     wanted to take care of her.
    He
     would always take care of her. So after a quick kiss, he left the room.
    Racing
     down the stairs, completely naked and uncaring, Nicolas grabbed up the sandwich
     for Mandy, and an apple for himself then a couple of
     bottled waters before grabbing a serving tray and loading it up. Within
     minutes, he was running right back up the stairs. He was looking forward to
     feeding her in the bathtub, maybe even giving her a massage to help her relax
     afterward. And he was definitely looking forward to sharing her bed again, to
     waking up with her snuggled to his side, right where she belonged.
     
    * * * *
     
    Mandy
     watched as Nicolas strode from the room, the sight of his perfect backside
     bringing a smile to her face. To think that the gorgeous male
     specimen leaving the room wanted her.
    She
     sighed, letting the warm water soothe her body and remembering the ecstasy
     she’d found in Nicolas’ arms. Now she knew why so many people were obsessed
     with sex. Mandy felt great. Better than great, actually, she felt wonderful.
     The best part was that her ability didn’t manifest like she’d feared it would.
     She felt so relaxed, and had trusted in Nicolas completely. It had just felt
     natural and Mandy knew that if anything did happen, they could handle it,
     together.
    It
     was hard to explain, but she felt as if she were even more connected to
     Nicolas. When their climaxes had overtaken them, it was like a bond had been
     forged, something deep that was everlasting and real.
    Lost
     in her thoughts, Mandy was startled when Nicolas appeared next to the tub, a
     tray in his hand, and bent down to kiss her lips. “What are you thinking
     about?” he asked.
    “About
     what just happened, and how wonderful it was.” Mandy watched as Nicolas’ chest
     puffed up with pride, and smiled. “Are you coming in?”
    “Absolutely.”
    Nicolas
     set the tray down on the stool next to them and stepped into the large tub to
     sit behind her before wrapping his arms about her waist and pulling her back
     against his chest. A feeling of utter contentment descended, and Mandy simply
     allowed herself to bask in the moment.
    Oh,
     yes, she could definitely get used to this.
    “I
     can hear the wheels turning in that beautiful head of yours, so why don’t you
     let me in on your thoughts?” Nicolas whispered in her ear. The warmth of his
     breath against her neck sent chills through her body and brought her hormones
     to attention once again.
    “I
     was just thinking about how happy I am right now. I never expected to meet
     someone like you, Nicolas. I guess I was actually starting to accept the fact
     that I would end up alone for the whole of my life,” she confessed. “But now,
     you’ve made me see that my gifts are nothing to be ashamed of. You’ve shown me
     love, and I don’t ever want to give that up.”
    “Then
     don’t. Stay here with me, Mandy. We can set you up for your classes here and
     you can continue with your studies over the computer as I do.”
    “You
     want me to stay with you?” He was offering her everything she could possibly
     hope for, but she had to make sure that she wasn’t misunderstanding anything.
    Nicolas’
     reply was so delayed that Mandy feared he had changed his mind just that
     quickly, but he surprised her with his next words. “There’s something that you
     need to know before you make any decision regarding our lives here. When we
     made love earlier, a bond was forged between us. We are bound together forever
     now, and I’m so sorry that I didn’t warn you of it sooner. My only excuse is
     that I’m a selfish bastard, and I couldn’t stand the thought of you possibly
     turning me away.”
    Warn
     her? Hell, if he had told her beforehand what she would be feeling now, he
     would have
