against my face.
    “There is something in your eyes that calls to me,” he said.
    I smiled weakly. “They’re just plain old brown, nothing magical.”
    “They are soulful,” he said, moving closer. “Everything you feel is in your eyes.
    There is much more to you than what most people see.” His words conveyed his emotions, so much so that I could feel his sadness when he spoke.
    “I’m lonely,” I confessed. “Rachel was the closest relationship in my life. We were like sisters. I’m an only child. My father passed away and my mother and I don’t speak.”
    “She doesn’t understand your ability?”
    “To say the least. I don’t make many friends because I don’t trust people easily.”
    “I believe Nym and Aurora are quite taken with you.” I smiled. “I haven’t had a date in three months. Shit. Why can’t I stop myself from telling you all this?”
    “Because you’re standing in cleansing bath wash.”
    “And it makes me spill my guts?”
    He laughed. “It helps to get things off your chest. It is for this reason most practitioners who use a cleansing wash choose to bathe alone.” I moved closer and ran my hand over his chest. “Are you here because you wanted to know my secrets?” I teased.
    “I’m here to help you.” He paused and I noticed a smile tugging at the corners of his full mouth. “And to hear your secrets.”
    “Why can I feel such sadness in your voice?” I asked.
    “Because I’m lonely too.”
    We looked at each other for a moment. I suppose both of us were afraid to open our mouths in case we spilled some other deeply personal information.
    Finally, Liam took a deep breath and sat down in the tub. The water reached his chest.
    “Everything that’s on your mind, all those distracting and perhaps painful thoughts are tainting your aura,” he said.
    I sat down across from him and propped my arms on the rim of the tub.
    “Tainting my aura?”
    “They are clogging up your emotional energy flow. That is what this bath will cleanse from you. You’ll still think of these things, but you won’t dwell on them.” 39

    “You mean it won’t help me get more dates, it’ll just help me not be so sad about it?”
    He laughed. “I don’t think you need to worry about that.”
    “What should I worry about?”
    His smile was smooth and sexy. “Nothing at all. That’s why you’ve got me.” I wasn’t sure how to respond to that, but I liked the sound of it.
    “Come here,” he said softly, “and turn around.” I did as he asked and when Liam put his long legs on either side of me I thought I might have a heart attack.
    “Relax,” he said. “Ravishing you is not part of the cleansing process.” When I sighed he added, “I’m saving that for later.”
    I couldn’t help it, I actually giggled. I hadn’t laughed like that since high school.
    “I’m sorry,” I said, still laughing softly. “You make me nervous, like I’m thirteen all over again.”
    Liam put his hand on my shoulder and, using the empty bowl, he started to pour the water over my back.
    “It’s all right. You may experience a range of emotions as the layers of your aura come clean.”
    “Should I keep talking?”
    “If you want to.”
    I rambled on for several minutes about everything that was on my mind. I told him about my great-grandmother being a witch and how I suspected my granny was, but didn’t have proof. I shared my feelings of isolation from my mother and from most people in general. I told him how after all that had happened, I was considering practicing witchcraft in order to strengthen my abilities. It surprised me that I was able to hold back about the true love spell.
    “That’s probably not a bad idea.”
    “Really?”
    “The craft often gives psychics some good grounding abilities. There are spells that should help to strengthen your shields.”
    “Good. It’d be nice not to accidentally watch people having sex.” He dropped the bowl.
    “Um,
