She bolted upright. “What do you mean everyone in the unit has a gift? You have one, too? Is that the weird connection I’ve sensed?”
Matt’s face colored. He looked like he was trying not to let out a laugh. “Hmm, yeah, probably, but I’m still working on sharpening mine.”
“Holy hell! I never guessed. That is so not fair. You best tell all now, Mister Agent Man, or I might shoot you.”
Matt shifted his weight on the seat cushion. “Ah, well, I’m touch sensitive. When I put my hand on someone, I can feel their mood, their feelings. It’s sort of hard to explain.”
“What!” Rita gasped and jumped up from the couch. She crossed her arms and stared down at him. “You mean you knew how I was feeling every time you touched me, held me? Arrrgh!” She leaned over and swatted his shoulder.
“Ouch.”
“When we were at the coffee shop, you knew that I wanted to jump your bones?” She hit his shoulder again.”
“Hey. Easy there.”
“When you followed me home, you knew I was hot for you?” She landed another punch on his shoulder.
“Watch it, I’m supposed to be recuperating.” He gave her that quirky smile.
“Yeah, right, sure you are.” Rita grabbed a purple throw pillow and whacked him on the head.
One arm protecting his head, he laughed softly and wound his other arm around her waist. Using both of his long arms he pulled until she ended up across his lap looking up at that quirky grin. He pinned her wrists to her side. “Okay, so I cheated a little.”
“Damn, I’m going to make you pay for holding out on me. Ah, revenge is such a sweet word.” She fluttered her eyelashes in a come-on gesture. “And you, sir, can start paying right now.”
“Yes, ma’am. This is one debt I’m going to enjoy paying back for a long time” He slid his arms around her and lifted her until their faces were nearly touching. Lowering his chin, he pressed his lips to hers.
Rita ran her fingers through his hair, pressed into him harder. Their tongues met. For a split second, even over the rapid pulse of her heartbeat, she thought she heard a soft sighing from the amulet.
Then the crystal warmed against her skin and sent small heated shocks of pleasure to her healing heart.
