Everyone else headed inside and I took Maggie's shaking hand.

'There's something we need to do first,' I said. I had seen the energy ribbons bounce around next to me. We were lucky that nobody saw them properly. Luckily for us, Ralph thought it was lightning bugs and by the way Jen looked back at Maggie she knew it was because Maggie was upset.

I wish I could help Maggie control her ability to listen to people's thoughts. Whatever had happened with Jen and Bish was something that was not allowed to be investigated if Maggie's visionary powers are anything to go by.

'What?' Maggie asked, confused.

'We need to practice.' She had to get this under control so she couldn't get caught in the future. It would not be good if humans found out what we were.

'That Marla is pretty, right?' I asked in a fake tone, making sure to block Maggie out. If she saw what I was doing, it wouldn't work as effectively.

'What?' her voice took a harder tone. 'What are you talking about?'

I shrugged, rolling my shoulders to take away the pain that my imprint was giving me. OK, OK. I'm doing it for Maggie's benefit. I shoved my hands in my pockets so she couldn't see that they were shaking.

'I was just saying that she was pretty. I haven't seen her in a while and she's sure got a lot hotter since I last saw her. And there's gonna be tons of girls at the reunification I haven't seen in a year. I wonder if everyone is gonna be able to make it, hope so.' I lied.

'OK. That's nice,' she said still confused.

'You know you were right. There are a lot of girls who are gonna be upset to see you with me. last year was the worst,' I groaned. She thought it was supposed to be a "feel-sympathetic-for-me" groan, but I was just letting out the pain. 'I spent the whole time fending off phone numbers and offers to visit other clans.' I made a noise with my tongue. 'I guess this year will be different, huh? Oh well. I'm sure we'll still have fun, even without all that female persuasion.'

She narrowed her eyes. I could see her trying to look in my mind and seeing my barriers. I could see that she felt annoyed by that. 'I'm sure we have bigger things to talk about.'

I raised a brow and pretended to look annoyed myself.

'I bet Ashley would love something like that?' Nothing. Come on Maggie. Feel the anger and let it out.

She stared at me. 'What are you doing?' she asked in an accusing tone.

'What? I'm just thinking. Ashley would fit right in with the rest of the clans. She's just like them in some ways and they'd probably really like her.'

She balked and glared at me.

'OK,' she clenched her teeth. Good, the more angrier she felt the quicker I could stop saying these horrible things.

'I can't wait to take you to London. Show you off to all those significant-less jerks.' I walked slowly to her and put my hands on her hips enticingly. 'My girl. My hot, sexy girl that only I can have. They'll be so jealous.' I crooned. While this was horrible to say, the part about her being hot was definitely the truth.

Maggie thought differently; she gasped. 'Caleb, that's terrible. Why are you saying that?'

Change of subject. 'And Bish and Jen. Wa, wa, wa,' I made atrocious baby noises. 'Get a life already! I'm so sick of hearing them complain.'

She pushed away from me and looked at me suspiciously. I saw a few energy ribbons behind her. her fingers started shaking. Thank goodness, she was getting closer to breaking.

'Caleb, what are you doing?'

'Nothing. Just saying out loud what we usually don't. Like the fact that your brother hates me. The fact that Kyle's in love with you.' I growled, feeling the truth of these words, but I would never say them out loud.

'Caleb, stop,' she breathed, the energy ribbons surrounding us, and I knew I had to carry on thinking of terrible things to say.

'The fact that you feel sorry for him, the fact that every man I pass looks at you like they have the right to. Like you would enjoy them looking at you.'

'Caleb –' my imprint was not happy with me, but I continued.

'The fact that if you'd never met me, you'd probably be dating that tool Chad, again.'

'Enough!' she shouted and light bulbs in the room started bursting and the air was getting hotter.

'Finally, took you long enough,' I groaned, feeling relieved and walked over to her.

I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her. As my lips touched hers, I felt her burn me though I knew it wasn't her fault, but I carried on to calm her down. I lifter her and sat her on top of the freezer, stepping closer between her knees which clamped around my side. The energy ribbons were still surrounding us but there was no more damage as she calmed herself.

She pushed me away slightly. 'What are you doing? Why did you say those things?'

'I needed to get you riled up,' I explained, taking down my mental barriers so she could see if she wanted to. My hand moved down from her neck to her chest. 'We need to practice your taming the emotion, when you get overwhelmed like you did in the alley.'

'You said all that just to get me riled?'

'Yeah, you didn't think I'd ever say those things for real, did you?' I asked concerned.

'No.' she admitted. 'But you're a good enough actor,' she answered amused.

'I'm sorry.' I kissed her neck and throat, pulling her closer by her waist. 'But we have to do things we don't want to sometimes, for research purposes.'

'Research,' she repeated breathlessly. I pulled away from her, leaning against the other wall and crossing my arms to watch her. 'What?' she asked looking at me.

'So, what are we gonna do about Bish and Jen? He's really suspicious.' I knew this particular subject was an emotional one for us both because it was our siblings who we cared about. Also, the fact that Bish doesn't even know about Aces but knows there's something going on; it upsets Maggie.

'Now you're talking about Bish? Caleb… you're driving me crazy.'

'I know.' I said tenderly, feeling bad about making her feel this way. 'Feel it. We need you to feel it and let it take you over, then we'll reign you back in. practice. We can't have you breaking light bulbs and making energy strings out of thin air every time you get upset.'

I saw the understanding come over her, she knew I was purposely trying to annoy her so she could control her emotions. Her mind focused on Bish and Jen, the whole situation, about how she would feel if it was her, thinking about Jen's story and Bish's story. The glass on the car window started rattling and I stepped forward, taking her lips and rubbing my hands down her arms.

She pushed me back again after a second. 'OK, let's go again.'

'Good. This time try to pull yourself back to normal.' I smiled.

'OK,' she nodded, and I moved out of her reach.

'Think about something you don't want to.' I told her even as my protectiveness grew.

She nodded and bit her lip, deep in thought. I could see she thought about Marcus. Just saying his name was enough to make me angry, let along Maggie. Then she took a deep breath and thought about us both on the beach together.

I grinned, watching as she pulled back. It was incredible to watch it. The anticipation of knowing something could happen but watching as she topped it.

Her eyes opened and a small smile played on her lips.

'You did it.' I went to her and put my arms around her. 'It's amazing to watch. I always feel it with you but to just sit back and watch it… it's amazing. The air is so blue, but I can still see you through the fog. The little strings move around you and through you. Wow.' I touched my lips in awe. 'You burned me earlier, when I kissed you.'

'I did?' she asked looking horrified by the thought.

'No, it's OK.' I soothed. 'It's just when I touched you, you were so hot. It was crazy but I didn't want to break the spell. I thought that day that I pulled you from the shower that you were so hot from the water, but it wasn't that. it was just you.'

She blew a steadying breath and ran a hand through her hair.

'I don't know if I'll ever be able to control it, Caleb. I feel like such a freak, I'm all over the place.'

'A hot freak.' I grinned. She gasped and I tickled her, enjoying her happy laugh. I got serious. 'I'll help you. Don't worry about that. if you can't reign it in, at least we know,' I nipped her chin, 'that I can kiss you senseless and that'll do the trick.'

'You're insane,' she giggled as I moved to kiss her. I remembered that she lost control when we got excited.

'Maybe we should try something else, too. Don't you usually see the ribbons when we, um… when we get excited?' I asked.

'Sometimes, when it's intense –'

I cut her off with a kiss. My plan was to push her as far as we could go, past wanting and frustration and pull back from it to see if she could keep control then. The smallest of touches have a big effect on her and if we were in public it would not be good if she couldn't control it.

I pushed her back and leaned against her kissing her with passion. She nudged my face back and moved hers under my jaw. I let out a small surprised noise as she slid her lips from my chin to my neck and collar bone. She yanked my shirt collar down and kissed the skin there.

I leaned my head back, my breaths growing faster and heavier, a growl emerging from my throat. I dug my fingers into her shirt sides, and she wrapped her legs around me pulling me closer. I could see in her mind that my heart was now beating strong and steady beside hers.

If we let ourselves, we could mutualise right now, but she pulled back a little mentally. She moved her mouth back to mine and I kissed her back almost forcefully, my hands moving to cup her face. She pulled me closer by my collar and I put my hand on the wall behind her head to brace myself.

I could see that she had forgotten what we were doing expect for this and I mentally agreed with her as she thought about how we loved each other and how we wanted each other right now.

My hands – moving of their own accord – slid down her shirt, undoing the buttons. Her cami was left underneath and I pushed her shirt down to her elbows kissing her skin there. I moved my arm, so it was around her waist, pulling her closer to me as I took her lips again. I saw in her mind that she wanted me really badly. She put her hand under my shirt and slide her nails up from my stomach to the top of my chest.

I chuckled with pleasure and amusement. 'I thought you were supposed to be the responsible one.'

She giggled and I kissed her again. My imprint was begging me to take her and claim her as my own, but I knew I couldn't do that. Not yet, not until Maggie was completely ready. I guessed that wouldn't be for some time yet.

"She was thinking about everything she wanted to do to me right now and I let out a groan at seeing her thoughts. She chuckled huskily and buried her hands in my hair at the nape of my neck, kissing behind my ear.

'Ah, baby, you're killing me.' I breathed, my hands on the wall behind her.

'And what you're doing to me is much better, is it?' she whispered in my ear.

I laughed and shook my head. She hopped off the freezer, pushing me back with her. Fisting the front of my shirt she pushed me back, her lips locked on mine. My back hit the wall and she pushed right up against me and kissed my neck again.

I put my hands on her shirt and pulled it off, throwing it behind her on the floor. Goosebumps emerged on her arms and I rubbed my palms up and down them in comfort. Her lips assaulted my neck and throat for a minute before she grabbed my shirt and pulled it off of me. Her gaze roamed my body and I felt a stroke of pride go through me as I saw in her mind that she would "never tire of the view" and she bit her lip.

I smirked and her eyes locked with mine before our lips collided again. She put her hands on my shoulders and went up on her tiptoes to get closer. Then she broke off the kiss and moved down to kiss my collarbone. I breathed deeply and put my hands around her waist. Her mouth opened and she began placing kisses all around my shoulders then moved down to the middle of my chest. She kissed the skin there and I sighed.

Maggie… I said in her mind.

'Mhmm?' she asked, her voice vibrating against my chest sending shivers along my back.

Her lips got lower and she bent her knees to kiss my stomach. She licked her lips and her tongue skimmed across my muscles which got her a groan from me. My imprint was pushing harder and it took all of my strength to control myself as her lips moved even lower. I gritted my teeth and buried my hands in my hair, looking down at her. Enjoying my reaction before, she smiled and moved even lower, past my belly button and closer to the top of my jeans.

Not being able to take it anymore and I growled, put my hands on her face and lifted her back up to my lips hungrily. We were both breathless and couldn't get enough of each other.

I bunched up the silk bottom of her cami in my hands and began to lift it. When she broke away from my mouth and lifted her hands up, I let out another low growl and ripped it off her. She stood before me in her bra and jeans. I took in a deep breath and let my gaze travel over her. She didn't squirm or feel uncomfortable but stood there with confidently as I looked at her. My breath caught and I slowly lifted my hands up to her hips. I pulled her an inch closer. Our eyes locked and she slowly grinned. With almost superspeed I pulled her to me, and we collided yet again in fury and passion. I knew it was certainly furious for us both because we knew we could go this far but this was the limit and we could not cross it.

Caleb… she groaned as I kissed along her neck. My hands moved around her hips and down to the underside of her thighs. As I passed her butt, I gave a small pat and she groaned again. My hands gripped her legs and as I gave her a little lift, her legs wound themselves around my waist and crossed in the back.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and buried her hands in my hair. My lips travelled down her neck and onto her chest and she tilted her head back giving me an all-access pass to her. I bit the skin on her upper chest, and she let out the smallest moan. She looked shocked at the sound and I saw that she didn't even realise she had made that sound until she heard it.

Encouraged by her praise and wanting, my lips moved lower down her chest to the top of her bra. It was silk black and had lace lining the top with a little silver clasp in the middle to unbutton it. I kissed open mouthed along her bra and I saw from the corner of my eye, there was a blue energy ribbon dancing next to us, btu she didn't see it because her head was tilted all the way back and her eyes were shut tight. I moved my hand on her leg up and down which got me another desperate noise from her.

Pushing her as far back into the wall I could to hold her there, I brought up my hand and moved the lace of her bra to kiss and nip the flesh there. Her hands in my hair pulled tighter and my other hand moved to hold her hip. My lips moved along the dip in her bra and she pushed herself closer to me, letting her feet touch the ground again for support.

Then she put her hands on my belt buckled and I groaned at her to be careful. After that, things went wildly wrong. As her hips moved forwards really fast, mine jerked back so she didn't touch me. At that point my teeth accidently bit into the clasp of her bra which flung open and my eyes shut tight as I spun around.

'Oops.' She laughed breathlessly. 'Cute, but you've already seen me; you don't have to turn around.'

I laughed too and turned around. Her bra was securely back on and she was blushing. 'I know and I will never forget that but for now if I saw you it would be too difficult, and we would end up doing things we'd rather not do right now.'

She nodded and took a deep breath.

'Baby,' I breathed, moving closer and putting my hand on her cheeks. 'That was… so, so amazing but so, so difficult. We have to be careful. Very careful.' She knew exactly what I was talking about.

She nodded. 'Yeah, I know. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to… you know do what I did just then, but it was like my body just moved without my permission. I'm sorry.' She shook her head.

'Maggie.' I scoffed. 'Baby, you know you don't need to apologise.'

She nodded again.

'Especially not for that,' I growled, nipping her chin.

She giggled at the whole situation and I watched her with the biggest smile, my chest holding our hearts' happiness. She was happy, so I was happy.

'I love you, baby.'

'I love you, Caleb.'
