into the grass as he tried to hold back the pain.
    â€œWe’ll get reacquainted once you’re settled in.” The weird gleam in his eyes disappeared, and he glanced around. “I don’t want your father to find you here. He is not going to take a chance of anything jeopardizing our plan. We’ve had trouble recently, so he’s even more on guard.”
    Shouting made him turn toward the house, where Gren was waving him over. “Demis is checking in for a status report, and Treylon isn’t here.”
    Demis? Kasabian searched his pain-gutted brain for the name but nothing came to him. Hell, he could barely move.
    Silva stood. “Now he’ll have to talk to me .” He nodded toward Kasabian. “Take him to the room. He has no power, so you should be able to handle him now.”
    Silva stalked off, and Gren turned his bitter smile on Kasabian. “Aw, been Stripped, eh? That’s too bad.” He kicked Kasabian in the side. “Another bruise or two won’t be noticeable.” His boot came at him again, and Kasabian felt his ribs crack. A sharp pain rocketed through his side. He tried to summon his healing power. Nothing happened.
    He managed to reach out as Gren readied for another kick and grabbed his ankle, jerking him off balance. Gren fell, arms wheeling, landing hard on his back. Sure, it would piss him off even more than the asshole already seemed to be, but Kasabian had nothing to lose at this point.
    Gren scrambled to his feet, his face red with fury. The last thing Kasabian saw was a fist coming at him.

Chapter 6
    S arai gave Kye an agonized look from across the table at their favorite Italian restaurant. “So tell me, is it lust or love at first sight, o wise one? I need to know if I’m going off the deep end again with this guy or if it might, maybe, possibly be the real thing.”
    Kye didn’t want to tell Sarai that she’d lost her Zensu abilities, so she bluffed. “You know I don’t believe in love at first sight.”
    â€œNot love, per se, but the way your soul is drawn to another soul. That wow factor that’s deeper than infatuation or lust. You’ve never experienced it yourself, but I know you’ve felt it in others.”
    Kye had felt it. Was feeling it. Being apart from Kasabian wasn’t helping one damned bit.
    â€œCome on, Kye, tell me if it’s real. Don’t let me make a big mistake.”
    Sarai could sense trouble for others, but not for herself. Sadly, this was true of many Deuces. Their personal stake in the matter muddled their clarity or, like Kye, their ability altogether.
    Shoot. Kye didn’t want to be pressed, but she’d been giving Sarai advice on her roller-coaster love life for years. “All right.” She held out her hands, and Sarai clasped them over the table. Kye closed her eyes and picked up…nothing. Just like she’d picked up nothing with the clients she’d met with earlier that morning.
    â€œI think it’s infatuation,” Kye said, and just to be safe, added, “But don’t discount that it’s not the real thing. Let it develop slowly and see where it goes.”
    When she opened her eyes, Sarai was scowling at her. “You are so full of shit.”
    â€œWhat?”
    â€œI have nada interest in any guy right now. I was testing you, because I suspect that you have not taken my advice about Kasabian and gotten yourself into a snarl.”
    â€œBitch.” Kye flopped back into her chair, giving her the same kind of scowl. “I didn’t not take your advice.”
    â€œYou should have seen your eyes get all misty when I talked about the wow .”
    Kye picked up her fork and forced herself to draw lines in her spaghetti sauce instead of throwing it at Sarai. “It’s not quite that simple.”
    â€œPlease tell me you haven’t fulfilled the sex forecast I got. Tell me you haven’t gone there.”
