“I’ll never be able to look at your mouth now without thinking of that you wicked woman.”
Rachel licked her lips and he couldn’t help following her tongue with his eyes. “Sorry, I had the uncontrollable urge.”
He grinned. “Wouldn’t be good to curb an urge like that.” He watched her straighten his sarong. “But how do I return the favor?”
She stepped back from him and picked up his phone. “I’m sure you’ll come up with something, but not right now. That was a big enough chance I think.”
He watched her dial the phone and stood exactly where she’d pushed him. How am I going to just let her go when we get home?
His eyes watched her mouth as she talked into the phone quietly and he shuddered. Taking a deep breath he tried to bring his mind under control. She was wearing a longer skirt today and the little witch was covered. He’d had to fake sleeping on the ground when she had sat beside him to keep from pushing it up and running his tongue over it. Moving his eyes back up to her face he saw she was watching him.
“You’re standing there looking at me with puppy eyes, Doc. That won’t give away anything.” She cocked one eyebrow at him.
Steven shrugged. “Sorry. Mind still hasn’t quite returned. How’s Ricky today?”
She set the phone down. “The same.” She walked towards the door. “I’m going over to help with the kids program.”
He rubbed a hand over the front of himself. “I’ll be there as soon as these images fade.”
She looked down at his hand and flipped her tongue out to pop the little stud between her teeth. “I’ll meet you there,” she whispered with a smile and then walked out.
He had just sat on the bed when Dade walked in.
“Rach seems happier. Her little friend doing better?”
Steven cleared his throat to find his voice. “Must be having a good day.”
Dade dug in his backpack. “That’s good.” He frowned down at him. “You okay? You look flushed.”
Steven chuckled. If you only knew. “Yeah, probably got too much sun.”
“Then don’t lie right in it, doctor.” Dade snorted. Sobering again he leaned back against the door. “Any thoughts on what can be done tonight to find this fucker?”
Steven leaned onto his knees and clasped his hands. “No clue. It really sucks. All this power the group of us have and we’re still running blind.”
Dade crossed his arms. “I hear that.” He grinned. “So you’ve got quite the moves on you by the way, where did you learn to dance like that?”
Steven laughed. “I didn’t know I could. You probably would have discovered a few moves hiding inside you if you’d gotten closer to a half naked Cora.”
“My moves would have been on the ground with her which is why I stayed safely behind my drum.”
Steven nodded as he stood up. “Yeah, surprised the hell out of myself that I didn’t drag her off somewhere.” At that moment at least he thought. “I’m heading over to the children’s area and then I’m hoping to find thirty seconds to take a nap before tonight.”

Steven watched Cora. She hadn’t been feeling right since dinner and experience said that lead to bad things happening.
Dade knelt down in front of her. “Are you sure you want to go to the fire tonight honey?” He ran his hands gently down her arms.
She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Yes. If it’s strong, here, now, who knows maybe I’ll be able to pin point the exact person.” She looked around at everyone. “And end this.”
Rachel jumped up and looked around at everyone. Steven raised his eyebrows in question when she just stood there for a few seconds. She turned slowly and looked at Chris. “Chris, can you use the feelings Cora is sensing to try to zero in?”
The shocked expression on Chris’ face was plain. He opened his mouth and then closed it and looked over at Kasey. “Possibly,” he all but whispered.
Kasey jumped up and stepped over in front of him quickly. “Really? You can do something like that?”
