“No, no,” she argued, moving in her chair like somebody preparing to fight. “I felt youfeelsomething.”

“I feel whatyoufeel.”

She slumped, pouting for a second then got excited again. “Can youlearnto feel through my feels?”

“Your feels?” he asked, smiling at the term.

“Yes,” she said, not letting him sidetrack her. “You can feel my emotions and you can learn things, so… you can use that to learn how to feel emotions ingeneral!”

Zero exhaled. “That’s… not inaccurate.”

She raised her brows at him, her mischief ready to play. She held up her index finger, silently presenting it to him. “Tool of choice,” she announced then reached over and slid it very slowly and softly over his hand.

His grin left and he exhaled slowly.

“You’re feeling it?” she whispered.

“From you, yes.” His brows narrowed. “You’re teasing,” he murmured with a hungry curiosity.

And helikedit. She could hear it in his voice. Her smile softened as she placed an entire hand on his arm.

He closed his eyes then opened them right on her. “You’re playing a dangerous game.”

Cat tilted her head, no longer smiling either. “And I canfeelhow much you like it.”

She let desire color her words, watching his hands clench on the table before gliding her hand over his arm.

“Kitten—”

She exhaled softly, her pulse racing. “Tell me what you’re feeling.”

Zero didn’t answer. Then he did. “There’s a deep pull in your stomach. A tingling warmth spreading beneath your skin.”

“Oh God,” she whispered. “Pleasure.”

Zero’s muscles flexed in his arm again. “This is…”

Cat laughed breathlessly. “It’s incredible!” she helped, leaning in closer. “I wonder how deep this can go?”

Zero exhaled slowly, his breath shaking.

“You want me to stop?” she asked in a soft breath. She watched his handsome face closely for signs of what he really wanted and was feeling.

His eyes finally lifted, the green appearing like a hot liquid. “… Never.”

Cat’s breath went entirely unsteady. She could hardly tell their thoughts apart with this now. Like the fire burning in her was burning in him or maybe it was the other way around. And the fire’s hunger drove her own. Made her need to push further. She wanted more than anything for him to experiencerealpleasure.

Zero’s entire body remained still. She could feel his awareness sharpening as she very slowly inched her hand up his arm. She focused on the silky, warmth. The hard muscle beneath it. Her mind added visual images of them flexing while he did things to her.

They both exhaled sharply, both feeling what she’d thought. Ho, boy, they were linking now. And it had her pulse slamming.

“Kitten—”

The need in his voice became a guide. And lord, when he called her that while aroused, it was pure auditory porn. While moving her hand firmly along his bicep, she felt his mind dividing the sensations. Hers and his.Soamazing.

She gasped when his processing snapped like a whip, adjusted, then tried to categorize the meaning of the warmth he was experiencing. The anticipation. The want.

Her lips parted slightly. “… Oh.”
