“You might have mentioned it. Given me a little warning.”
“Such didn't occur to me.” More silence.
“What do you feel when you touch me?” she asked.
Bastien's attention dropped to her full lips as she licked them anxiously. “Sometimes I feel your concern. Sometimes uncertainty. Clinical detachment. Fear the first time we met.”
“Well, our first meeting was rather . . . explosive.”
That was putting it mildly.
“What else?”
He knew what she sought. “Sometimes my gift tells me you feel what I feel myself every time I look at you. Or think of you. Or touch you.”
Her soft, smooth neck moved with a swallow. “You're attracted to me.”
“Yes.”
“I'm attracted to you.”
“I know.”
“What are we going to do about it?”
