idea,” Elin whispered, glancing around as if she feared being overheard.
“It remains invisible except to a few,” Leigh said. “But be very careful not to rely on it always being available just as you want it. I believe someone has interfered with The Veil and twisted some of its powers.”
Elin’s eyes had grown very wide.
“Niles knows about The Veil but he doesn’t see the colors,” Leigh said. “Only the Deseran, like you and me, do, and fae with no evil intent toward humans,” Leigh explained. “Very few in all.”
“You really are Deseran, too,” Elin whispered.
“I have the blood,” Leigh said. “Sally knows, and now you, but that’s all, although…”
Her stomach twisted. “I do wonder if Dr. Saul VanDoren knows about me.”
“You know Saul is a vampire?” Elin said.
“Yes, but he puzzles me,” Leigh said.
Pondering that, Elin put Jazzy on the floor. “Is he different from other vampires?”
“Niles says Saul is a man caught between two worlds and trying to work for good. That means he must constantly overcome his own nature. Niles told me Saul is separate from other vampires and that they fear him. But he could be hurt if there were several of them together and they wanted to harm him.”
“Sean doesn’t seem to like him much.”
Leigh didn’t quite manage to hide a smile. “Sean is cautious, that’s all.”
“You can’t blame him for that,” Elin said, feeling defensive for her Sean. “I thought Saul was a bit high-handed with Sean, and with me last night when we were here.”
“So it’s ‘we’ now. Is that a sign you and Sean are getting very close?”
“Not as close as I’d like,” Elin said and grew hot all over.
“You’re blushing,” Leigh told her. “Have patience. There are many ways to pleasure a man and for him to pleasure you without—being sealed. After that it’ll be time for—the other.” The expression on Leigh’s face could only be described as filled with knowing and desire.
Elin had a little smile of her own. “I know the ways of pleasuring,” she said quietly. “I have hardly begun to use them on him but already my man grows angry with controlling his need to make love with me.”
Leigh cleared her throat and Elin thought she looked at her with great interest. Leigh coughed this time and seemed to set her jaw, then she said, “How do you know these things about bringing men pleasure?”
Elin hid a smile. Sally had warned her that it would be an unusual woman who wouldn’t be intrigued at the thought of special sexual powers.
“That is one of my talents,” Elin told her. “According to Sally, I was abandoned in New Orleans as an infant because my parents thought I could not exist in their paranormal world. They didn’t know I had this gift, or the others I can use. Then I was stolen by a demon and Tarhazian stole me from him, but she never knew what I could do. She trained me to develop silly faery tricks to please her and flatter her. I was never supposed to be anything else but her plaything.”
“How did you…how did you find out about this particular power, the pleasure power?”
Elin did smile this time, and Leigh smiled with her. They giggled together and Leigh turned pink.
“I knew I had it, that’s all, and being with Sean proved me right. I can drive him mad. You should see what happens to him.” Elin sighed. “Such a waste.”
chapter EIGHT
I f you needed information on the habits of vampires, why not go to your friendly local vampire?
As prickly as their last parting had been, when Sean called Elin, she had agreed the two of them should try to arrange a talk with Saul today.
Prying her loose from her closeted visit with Leigh hadn’t been easy, but Sean had pulled an advantage and asked Niles to communicate with his mate telepathically. Niles had wheedled Leigh into breaking up the tête-à-tête.
Not asking Elin what the two women had talked about took a lot of restraint, but Sean figured he
