AN: This is a little short chapter, but I thought it was a nice place to stop…Don't worry, the next chapter will soon be up. Assuming anybody wants it?

When they got to the lab they saw that Michael was struggling to get free from the chair he was tied to. Shalimar completely ignored Adam and walked over to Emma.

"You're okay," she said with a smile.

"Of course I'm okay, I'm-"

She was cut of by Shalimar giving her a kiss on the lips.

"Shalimar, what are you doing?"

Adam had turned at Emma's question.

"I was just so happy that you were okay so I thought you deserved a kiss."

Emma had started blushing and she looked at Adam who seemed just as surprised as she was and she started blushing even more.

"Shal, you can't do that."

She quickly walked out of the lab over to her room and closed the door, leaving an insecure and hurt Shalimar.

She had barely managed to lie down on her bed before someone knocked carefully at the door, and she knew that it was Shalimar.

"I really just wanna be alone right now." Damn it, she had forgotten to lock the door. Not that it mattered anyway, because Shalimar would probably find a way in.

She heard the door open, but didn't care to look who it was. She heard steps and found two hands laying down on her shoulder and someone leaning into her.

"I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I'm really sorry. It's just that you mean so much to me."

Emma smiled and turned around, locking eyes with Shalimar.

"You don't really mean that Shal, you're under a spell, can't you see that?"

"Okay, so I might be under a spell, but I don't think it's the kind of spell you think it is. I know how I feel about you and it will never change."

"It will change Shalimar. As soon as Adam gets you back to normal you'll be thankful that nothing more happened between us."

"Don't say that Emma. Don't you like me?"

"Of course I like you, but as a friend. It could never work between us and if you think about it you would know that too."

"I have been thinking about it and no matter how much I think I still know that it's you I wanna be with."

Emma was running out of excuses and reasons and was starting to get desperate.

"Shal, just think. Don't you remember how you and Brennan always used to make each other jealous? You had a connection with him."

"Exactly, I had a connection with him, but I had and have a connection with you and you can't deny that."

Shalimar was moving her face closer and Emma was almost panicking because she knew this shouldn't happen, but partially wanted it to.

"Shalimar, this really isn't a good idea."

"I think it's a perfect idea."

Before Emma could protest any further, Shalimar had captured her lips with her own. Shalimar noticed that Emma wasn't responding, but also noticed that she wasn't pulling away so she kept kissing her and slowly Emma responded. The kiss wasn't forceful or hungry, it was more hesitant, but after a while it deepened and Shal let her tongue move into Emma's mouth to deepen the kiss even more. She slowly moved more and more over Emma's body, feeling how rigid she was and just when she was fully on top of her and felt the psionic starting to relax a little more, a voice broke their starting passion.

"Emma, are you alright?"
