breathing in her shallow breaths. “I love you,” he whispered against her lips. They were both breathing heavily into each other’s mouths.
    She slid her hands into his hair and inhaled his scent. “I love you too,” she exhaled.
    Adin breathed in the words that she spoke, and moaned as he kissed her. His lips were soft against hers as he kissed her slowly. One hand slid into her hair and his other hand slid down her cheek and her neck and continued along her side until he reached her waist. Then he slid that hand from her waist to around the small of her back. He pressed her up against him while he shifted his head in the opposite direction, not allowing the kiss to build. He kept control of himself and their kiss, keeping it soft and very sensual.
    Adin slowly pulled away and looked into her eyes. But she didn’t like him stopping. She kept her hands in his hair while she stuck out her bottom lip to pout. He chuckled while he kissed her protruding lip.
    “I need to go.”
    “Ahh, do you have to?” she asked, rubbing her lips against his and massaging his head with her hands.
    Adin panted into her mouth and clutched her waist with both his hands. “This isn’t fair,” he whispered before kissing her again.
    She locked her hands in his hair and kissed him. She wasn’t as controlled as before, and she didn’t care if she wasn’t being fair. She ate at his lips like they were her last meal, taking him and his moans in as if those things worked in tandem to be her life support.
    Adin pulled away again. “I have homework,” he pleaded.
    “Ok-a-a-y.” She released him…reluctantly.
    She walked Adin to his car, and he kissed her again before leaving. Owning her with his touch.
    Oh yeah, the man had serious skills. She wondered how he was able to keep his passion banked when her body lit up like fireworks. She’d have to push his limits. The whole “taking things slowly” from the summer was over.
    She smiled as he drove away.
    Gods, I love a challenge.

    “Thanks for cooking,” Lissa said as she came into the kitchen and tossed her briefcase onto the counter that same night.
    “No problem. How was your day?”
    “Hectic. Yours?”
    Varying degrees of good and bad. But she wasn’t getting into all that. “Fine.”
    “And how’re other things going?” Lissa gave her a knowing look. Legacy would have to be a fool if she couldn’t read what Lissa was asking about—her change.
    “I’m starting to notice when I’m causing the weather to change.”
    “That’s good. You need to be aware of that and learn to control everything.” Lissa cleared her throat and shifted in a nervous manner. “Have you heard from your mother again?”
    “Um, no. Why?”
    “Well, I, er, got a partial message from her, but it’s just gibberish. The only word I could make out was sacrifice .”
    “Sacrifice? As in like a virginal sacrifice?” Legacy squeaked.
    Lissa started, a chuckle escaping from her. “No. Nothing like that. But it seems like I’m getting mixed signals about your change, and now this. I’m not sure what to make of it.” She shook her head.
    “Mixed signals?” What in the world was that supposed to mean?
    “It’s just a feeling that something is off. I don’t know how to explain it.” Lissa waved her hand. “What about dreams? Maybe she’s tried reaching you in your dreams.”
    “No, but there is something I don’t understand.” Honestly, this little tidbit had been gnawing at her. “Remember me telling you about my dreams before the banquet?”
    “Yes.”
    “Well, I thought I had figured them all out, but I dreamed them both again last night.”
    Lissa’s expression immediately altered. Where she was worried before, now she was more speculative, almost inquisitive. “Maybe you should think them through again.”
    “The first one was about Adin telling me to be careful with 1887 and lightning glittering from the sky. But I know the meanings behind 1887, and I
