Jesse made his way into the living room searching for Shalimar. A loud noise from the distance caught his attention and his shook his head realizing it must be Adam in the kitchen still trying to prepare refreshments. The sound of the feral's voice led him into the dining room where she was sitting at the table talking on the phone and writing in a notebook. He walked to the side of the table and waited as she finished up her call and placed her phone down.

"Hey, Jess," she greeted and scribbled something in the notebook before her.

"Hey what's up?"

"Just confirming some of my guest list. That was one of my ex girlfriends Lara Perkins."

"So are we going to get her?"

"Yeah her and a few more of the guests as soon as you're ready. I also ordered a present for Emma I wanna get it while we're out, " she answered standing up and hooking her cell phone back onto her jeans.

"I'm ready."

"Alright let's head out. Adam," she called through her comlink.

"Yes, Shalimar?"

"Jesse and I are going to get a couple guests."

"Alright," he said. His reply was instantly followed by a loud clanging sound. "I'll see you when you get back."

Jesse raised his eyebrows at the suspicious sounds coming from the kitchen.

"Let's go get Lara," Shalimar suggested. "I don't like the thought of Adam alone in that kitchen any longer than he has to be."

"Good idea," Jesse agreed, following the feral to the Helix.

Emma's tongue continued its battle with the elementals for supremacy over his mouth as her hands roamed freely over his body. Their tender kisses and touches quickly becoming fiercer by the minute. Brennan's hands eagerly snapped open the psionic's bra and a slight moan of triumph escaped his lips at the task. His hands ran up and down the curves of her back and over her hips and finally meeting at the top of her shorts.

Although she knew she didn't want him to stop Emma couldn't push the sudden image of Shalimar out of her mind. Placing a hand on Brennan's shoulder she eased her body back slightly, taking a second to catch her breath. She remained still for a moment before standing and walking a few feet away to the edge of the bench. She turned her back to the stunned Brennan and rehooked her bra before turning to face him again unsure of what to say.

"What's going on, Brennan?" she finally managed to ask. She furled her own brow in the confusion she was feeling. She could sense all the confusion from the elemental as well and couldn't seem to place her new desire for him or why she felt she couldn't control it. Attraction was one thing but the incapability to control her own actions was baffling her.

"I…don't know," he finally managed.

"Why did that happen?"

"Because we're attracted to each other," he answered.

"No I think it was something more," she replied sure it wasn't just hormones. How could she let her hormones take over for her like that and on her wedding day no less?

She walked back over to sit beside him but instantly regretted it when she felt the same urges stirring inside her once more. Her eyes scanned the man before her and she reached out to rub his exposed chest with slow, loving caresses. She felt herself heating up at the thought of his body closer to her and felt herself being pulled farther from reality again. She shook her head suddenly before letting herself get too far gone and quickly stood from the bench. She backed up putting more space between them for security. She knew she wanted to be back in his arms more than anything but was too confused to trust herself at the moment.

"I don't think we should get to close," she informed.

"Maybe not."

"Not until we find out why we're acting like this. I can't be close too close to you without…" she trailed off not wanting to finish the statement. Not able to believe the rest of the statement but knowing it was true. "I don't think this is right."

"I know. We can't do this to Shal," he agreed."

"It's not that. Not just that anyway. I mean don't you feel it?"

"Yes," he replied standing up and taking a few steps towards her. She instantly took a few steps back making sure to keep their safe distance.

"Not that. It feels like something's changing inside me when I'm close to you and I just can't control it. That's not normal, Brennan."

"Well maybe it is."

"I don't know." She sighed lowering her head with the thoughts of her previous actions.

"So what do you wanna do go home and ask Adam?"

"No," her reply was almost instant as she brought her eyes back to his. "We can't do that." She couldn't help looking him over as she spoke, desire evident in her blue wanton eyes. "I don't want Shalimar to see us like this. She'll know. Besides I have too many things to do for our wedding." She licked her lips as she searched his body, sure if he took another step closer to her she wouldn't be able to stop herself.

"So this Lara girl's gonna help Adam cook for tonight?" Jesse asked sitting adjacent from the feral in the Helix.

"Yeah. She's a chef and a pretty good one too. She said she's got a few things prepared for the wedding already and she's gonna help Adam with what he's making which will be great," she said in a chuckle.

"I never met her did I?"

"No. We dated for about four months a few years ago. It was pretty hot." Shalimar grinned at the thoughts of her previous relationship.

"Really? Maybe I'll ask her if she's single."

"Um I don't think you're her type, Jess," Shalimar informed with a telling smile.

"Guy's gotta try."

Shalimar laughed. "After this we gotta stop at the jewelers on the corner of Main Street and get Emma's present."

Jesse noticed how she smiled at the mere mention of the psionic's name. He adored how in love the two were.

"Miss her don't ya?"

"Yeah. I hope she'd having a good time doing all those errands."

"So what are we going to do?" Brennan asked the psionic a few feet away.

"I don't know um…" Emma tried to think of a possible solution but found all she could think about was him touching her and knew she wouldn't be able to stop until his hands were all over her again. "We could," she poke slowly as she continued to look over the elemental feeling herself filling with desire she knew would soon explode if not given the proper attention. "Um…" she tried to continue but to no avail. "How about…we…get another um…car. Or we could…find out where they towed ours and um…get it back."

Brennan just grinned as he stepped closer to her with determination. After his first step Emma threw herself at him, his arms instantly wrapping around her as she jumped onto him wrapping her legs around his hips. Their kissing was more impatient as they groped each other fiercely. Brennan moved back until his body slammed against the lockers behind him. The thoughts of Shalimar in Emma's head were now long gone as she kissed the dark haired man, her heart grateful she was giving into her desires.
