“You know you want this, baby girl,” Bradan says in my head before pushing more images into my thoughts.

I’m chained spread eagle in the center of our bedroom. My wrists and ankles in cuffs. Bradan is circling me, wearing a pair of leather pants. His feet and chest are bare.

He stops behind me and blows smoke against my back. I moan and writhe against the chains. With a dark chuckle, he dips to blow a trail of smoke from the base of my spine up to the nape of my neck.

“You like that, don’t you?” he murmurs in my ear.

Before I can answer, he reaches around my body to dip his fingers between my legs. My eyes cross and I bite my lip as he sucks on my neck.

“Stop,” I snarl as I shake my head to clear the image from my mind.

“What’s wrong, little one? I thought you would like to see what I plan to do to you. Don’t you want to get this over with so we can have some real fun?”

“Bray, you’re not helping. Let me focus.”

“You have to be ready to attack, no matter what. All it takes is a little distraction for your enemy to win. Stay focused, baby.”

“I’m trying to stay focused. Stay out of my head.”

He shrugs. “Hit the target,” he commands.

I hurl the fireball in my palm toward him and then begin to use my magic to direct it around him toward the target. Suddenly, flashes of him fucking me hard fill my head.

I lose control of the orb I’m maneuvering, and it goes left. Ardan is quick to snuff it out. He and Bradan begin to chuckle like two high school bullies.

“Why are you being like this?” I hiss.

“Because you’re not trying hard enough,” Bradan taunts.

He then begins to start a new scene in my head. It happens so fast it’s like I’ve been teleported. At first, I think I have been. I can smell and feel everything.

This time, Bradan is kneeling before me. He has my leg over his shoulder with my hips tilted toward him as he devours me. His red head is bobbing, and he has a firm grip on my thigh.

He doesn’t let up until I come all over his face. I’m a convulsing mess as he stands and circles behind me. I don’t know what he’s up to next, but my chest is already heaving.

Taking his time, he circles back again. This time I take him in. His leather pants are slightly unzipped, showing off that sex V of his. My mouth waters as I look at him.

He moves in closer and grasps my face before kissing me hard. I moan into his mouth and savor the taste. When he releases me, he looks me deep in the eyes and grins.

He takes another leisurely stroll around me. Then runs his finger down the center of my back. The next thing I know, he has lit two fire wands.

Again, he pops the illusion he has placed me in. I’m back in the training room and he’s standing before me with his arms crossed and a smirk on his lips. Rage fills me.

This time, I form an orb of fire in each palm. I channel all my rage and my power and allow them both to course through me. I’m not going to miss this time. Distraction or not, I’m going to hit my target.

Bradan

“The fuck? Is she?” Ardan says as he stands from his spot where he’s been lying lazily on the floor.

“Out now,” I bark.

“Bradan, are you sure? I don’t know if that’s such a good idea.”

“Out. Make sure no one else comes this way. I’ve got this.”

I haven’t taken my eyes off Taylor. She’s levitating and her eyes are glowing. The orbs in her palms are more vibrant than I’ve ever seen her make. Rage is pulsing off her and embers of fire are swirling around her.

“She has peaked,” I mutter to myself in awe.
