The corduroy beneath her, temperature of the air, feeling of warmth in his body, and shocks through sensitized nerves as Gabriel's mouth left her throat, seemed unnaturally acute. Yet, they were somehow apart, as though the touch had wrapped her in a protective layer that let her experience everything without letting it touch her. As though it were making her complete within herself, and filling in all the gaps in her armor. Like a scratch-coat over nail polish, Regina thought, with humor.
Gabriel's contentment/relief/joy washed through her comfortably, through their residual empathic link. It would last for at least a half hour, giving her access to his emotional and physical reactions, as he normally was able to sense hers.

About the Author
Born in 1973, and raised in Michigan, Donna Fernstrom has been an avid reader since early childhood, with a particular fondness for science fiction, fantasy, and horror. She is also a psionics practitioner, and has been involved with the online energy-worker community since the early 90s, so she knows when the things she writes about don't match reality, (but loves to sneak in a bit of reality anyhow). She breeds ball pythons, and runs a metaphysical business. She is married to a wonderful Swedish man, and has two children, a son and daughter. She currently lives in a Virginia apartment, while waiting to become rich enough to own a cow.
