then moved her back to her own spot
next to him on the bed. A heartbeat later, he grinned. “So much for the
introductions.”

Chapter Two
     
    Nicole blinked at him. He obviously found the situation
quite humorous but she was too bewildered to come up with a witty reply. “What?
Why? Did I do—” He lightly touched her lips with one finger and she stopped
trying to verbalize her bewilderment.
    “I apologize. I wasn’t prepared for…quite so much. At least
not so quickly.” He took a slow, deep breath and took both her hands in his.
“It did, however, suggest your challenge won’t be that much of a challenge.”
    She smirked at him. “And now you’re talking in riddles.”
    “I only meant we are obviously starting out with good
chemistry. Sex magick doesn’t require it, nor do the two people even have to
like each other, but it does make it easier and the result is much stronger.
And, of course, it’s more fun.” He winked at her.
    “You said that before. Is this a game to you?”
    His expression immediately hardened. “Never. Magick is not a
plaything. It must always be respected because it’s neither beneficial nor evil
on its own. Anyone who wields it must always keep all the possible outcomes in
mind. I just prefer having fun to being serious. Don’t you?”
    She frowned. “I suppose I would…if I had the option. It’s a
little difficult to have fun when you’re alone all the time.”
    He kissed the tip of her nose. “Okay. I’ve added teaching you
to have fun to my list. Are you ready to begin or did you have another
question?”
    “Begin? I thought we already had.” That earned her another
of his sexy grins, which had the power to tickle her insides. “Actually, I have
a ton of questions, but maybe you could at least explain how it works.”
    “It?” he asked, arching one eyebrow.
    A wave of heat shot down to her clit. “I know how it works. I meant the magick part.”
    “When a person has sex, or rather great sex, whatever
else was in his or her mind is put aside and all thoughts get totally focused
on one thing—pleasure. That same sort of singular focus is required to practice
meditation and develop psychic abilities. But in sex magick, the focus on
pleasure is used to create energy to manifest another desire.”
    She wrinkled her forehead. “I’ve never been able to
meditate. My mind just wanders.”
    “It’s my job to make sure it doesn’t. I assure you, I’m very
good at what I do.”
    Her nipples tightened as though he had just given them each
a tweak, but his hands still held hers. “I’m not sure I follow.”
    “Basically, when two people add a shared intent or wish to
the sexual experience, the energy supporting their combined thought is
empowered by their building arousal. The more physically excited they become,
the more energy focuses on their mutual desire and the orgasm becomes the
rocket that transports their intent from thought to reality.”
    “I always thought magick involved casting spells and making
potions.”
    He grinned. “Some of it does. Mine doesn’t. And when the
time comes, you’ll choose what works best for you. Now are you ready?”
    “Just one more thing. Have you been doing something to me?
Something to turn me on, lower my inhibitions?”
    He chuckled. “There is a continuous flow of sexual energy
throughout the manor, and I will admit I tend to…emanate sexuality
unintentionally. But if you didn’t find me sexually attractive, you could
easily resist all of it. The arousal building inside you and how far you
were willing to take our introductory kiss were both caused by good old-fashioned
chemistry. Well, except for the enhancement your empathic abilities
created, which is what made me lose control of the block. On the other hand, if
you felt your nipples get pinched a minute ago, that was me having some fun. I
was sure you wouldn’t object.”
    He was right. She didn’t feel even an inkling of objection.
“Do it
