off.”
    The loud sound of a hand smacking her thigh surprised all three of them. Rick blinked in astonishment as he registered the sting on his hand. He soothed over the area, embarrassed and confused by his reaction.
    Zane just smiled. “See, princess, even Rick wants you to control that potty mouth.” She grumbled something, but Rick felt her desire growing as he massaged the spot he’d smacked. “Coffee first,” Zane laughed as he turned back to the tray. Rick tried not to laugh as she poked her tongue out at Zane behind his back. “I’ll make sure you pay for that later,” Zane said happily, obviously realizing what she was up to.
    “How do you do that?” she asked, suddenly serious. She wiggled to sit up straighter but winced and moaned, probably from the movement of the butt plug.
    “Do what, princess?” Zane asked as he handed her a cup of coffee.
    “Read my thoughts and emotions. I’ve never met someone capable of intercepting my thoughts without my direct permission. How is it that you and Rick can do something no one else can? Not even Alana can get into my brain without my permission.”
    Rick could practically hear the cogs turning in Zane’s head. That’s when he realized that he could read Zane far easier these days than he used to.
    “I’m not sure, princess. Lately my telepathic and empathic skills seem stronger. I’ve always been pretty average with both, but since meeting you, they seem better, more attuned somehow.”
    Rick nodded his agreement. He’d felt the same thing, but it wasn’t until that very moment that he realized he could sense Jenna very clearly. “Baby, are you still using your skills to hide from our senses?”
    She nodded as she said, “It’s something I need to consciously switch off, not the other way around. It takes a lot for me to deliberately reverse that particular skill.” He felt her sorrow, like she felt she was somehow letting them down, and he pulled her closer as he tried to explain his observation.
    “Jenna, baby, I can sense you. I only just realized it, but even with your skill in place, I can sense you now.”
    “You can?” she asked with a frown. “Do you think maybe the ability is wearing off?
    “I don’t know,” Rick said as he rolled the information around in his mind. “It’s possible, I suppose, especially if your theory about the Professor’s vitamin injection is correct. But maybe spending time with you is boosting our skills. I read a report a while ago where Caleb suggested that his and Ethan’s skills had grown since they’d met Theresa. He’d observed similar outcomes with Dana’s partners.” He ran his hand slowly up and down her spine. “Maybe there is a connection between the three of us that somehow overrides your cloaking skill.”
    She giggled against his chest. “Cloaking skill? Just like in that sci-fi movie you made me watch?” She wriggled on his lap, and he pressed a soft kiss to the top of her head as she said, “Now if I can figure out how to raise my shields...”
    “Nuh-uh, no shield-raising here, princess. I like you completely accessible.” Zane smoothed a hand up her thighs, and she shivered as he brushed against the soft curls at their apex. “Breakfast,” he ordered with a suggestive wink. “You need your strength.”

Chapter Ten

    Several hours later, she screamed as another orgasm hit her. She’d been licked, sucked, spanked, and finger-fucked into some of the most intense sensations she’d ever felt. Right now, she was stretched across Zane’s bed, her wrists and ankles secured to the bedpost with soft leather cuffs. Her ass still throbbed from the spanking Zane had given her when she’d scoffed at his boast that he could make her orgasm just by tanning her hide. Turns out she’d been wrong, but to make sure she remembered, he’d coached Rick through her second spanking orgasm. Rick had been hesitant at first, but he’d quickly found a workable rhythm while Zane pressed her upper
