tests,”Mike murmured with a touch of humor that all three men enjoyed.
“The first test is the Hum. She said you both Hum with her. That’s good. One down, two to go. The second test is the Kiss. With the crystal nearby, kiss her and the crystal should glow reddish-orange. The Hum will increase too, but I guess you won’t be able to hear it since you’re human.”
“What’s the third test? Is there a third?”Mike wanted to know.
“The third test is the Embrace. Touch her skin on skin and deepen the kiss, fitting your body to hers intimately. The crystal will shine yellow like the sun and the Hum will increase as well. After that, there’s only the Joining and from what I’ve heard, when you join with your true resonance mate, the crystal will shine with the light of a thousand stars. I’ve never experienced it myself, but to give you some idea, my sister and her mate caused such an energy rush during their first joining, half the crystals in this city glowed and she was over three thousand miles away.”
“No shit?”Dave used his favorite expletive though there was a bit of awe in each of the three men’s joined minds.

“One or both of you could be her mate, so you might have to get used to the idea of sharing,”Harry warned.
“I think we can handle that. We’re not proud of it, but since the cataclysm, we’ve shared women.”Again it was Dave who was so forthcoming with details Mike would rather have kept to himself.
“Are you brothers? I only ask because my step-mom is mate to all three O’Hara brothers. I was working on that theory until my sister found her mates who are completely different species.”They could hear the dismay in his voice even telepathically.
“We’re cousins. We had a business together before the cataclysm and we’ve always been close. Being gifted in the old world, you know, it made us stick together.”
“Yeah, back then we had to hide our psychic abilities, now it’s the thing that saved us.”David’s tone was dry.
“You’re both telepathic, but I sense more. Dave, you’re a healer, right? That’s what had Jaci so up in arms that they called me. But what about you, Mike?”
“I’ve got a tiny bit of empathy and sometimes I can mind read, but my biggest skill is that I’m a dreamwalker.”Mike used the slang term for telepaths who had the ability to insert themselves into other people’s dreams. It was a rare as well as a somewhat tricky gift, just like mindreading, which was another slang word for high-level telepaths who could pick up on the thoughts of other people even when they were not being directed to them.
“Made me a bit of a shark in business,”Mike continued, “ but I tried never to abuse the information I learned from my rivals too much. It’s hard to believe that was over twenty years ago now. I’m getting to be an old man. What day is it, kid? Do you know?”
“September twenty-second. Why?”
“Damn, my forty-sixth birthday just passed. Jaci’s too young for me.”
“Well, actually, Alvians don’t age like you did. She’s probably about the same age as you chronologically, but you’ll have to ask her to know for sure. Their lifespan is about five or six hundred years, as is yours now.”

“What?”David was clearly shocked.
“Oh, I guess you didn’t realize. When Mara first took my Uncle Caleb from the family for study, I brokered a deal with her. By then she realized the humans left on Earth after the cataclysm most likely carried at least some Alvian DNA. Hara was one of their famous explorers and he was lost to them. He probably stayed here on Earth and was one of my distant ancestors. You two probably also have Alvian ancestors back in your family’s far past. Anyway, you have the gene that would make you age like an Alvian, but it was turned off by your human side. I asked her to turn it back on so my father, uncles, step-mother and siblings could live longer, but I recently found out
