his.
    “Ruzac, help me out here, can you talk to Zara? Perhaps she can get through to her.”
    “I hear you, Prince Rand. Even as tempted as I am to let my charge rape you,
    nothing but harm can come from this.”
    He was taken back when Zara answered him but was thankful she was protecting Gracie. “Thank you, Zara.”
    “Grace Ann, it’s not time for this. If you succeed in this, you’ll be sentencing
    yourself to never ending need. You’ve got to wait until I come into heat and start
    the mezclar.”
    Rand took hope in the fact Gracie’s eyes cleared and she seemed to be processing what her sentient power was trying to explain.
    “Never ending need?”
    “Wildcat, if I sate the need you obviously have here on the dream plane before we’re bonded physically, it can possibly triple the intensity of your desire.”
    “Fuck!” Jerking away from him, she started to pace his room, oblivious to her nakedness. Stopping abruptly, she focused on him. “What the hell exactly is the mezclar anyway?”
    “From what I understand, once your sentient power goes into heat and keeps you in a ready state of desire, Ruzac will react to Zara’s heat and the mezclar is triggered.”
    "You've gotta be kidding!" With a flip of her wrist she conjured her clothes out of the air. "And if I choose not to participate in this ‘mezclar’?"

    "You won't have a choice, sweetheart. What you felt just now is not even a
    tenth of what you'll feel when the full moon rises and I go into heat. Neither one of
    you will be able to resist once it starts. Your chemistry with Rand is strong and
    once the mezclar starts there’s no way to stop it."
    "Great, another decision taken out of my hands! "

    Standing in the doorway of Gracie's bathroom, Rand watched while she soaked in a tub full of bubbles. He envied how close the bubbles clung to her skin. If he were a little less honorable, he would walk over, drag her out of the tub and have his way with her. It’d only been two days since she’d slipped into his dreams and she’d been running scared ever since. She’d been using every excuse she could think of to put distance between them.
    I’ll be damned if I’m going to let her continue to avoid me. Walking across the short distance to the tub, he knelt down. Even though her eyes were closed, he knew the moment she became aware of his presence. Opening her eyes, she blinked sleepily.
    Before she could protest his actions, he leaned in and captured her soft lips under his.
    Without any protest, she let herself be swept into his kiss. Somewhere midway through it, she raised her arms to clasp them around his neck. A soft groan escaped his throat, he knew he was tempting fate but couldn’t resist the temptation of her mouth. Struggling for control of his own body, he pulled back and rested his forehead against hers.
    "You’ve been avoiding me, Wildcat, and that’s not acceptable.”
    “Your mother has kept me busy.”
    “Finish your bath, I’ve plans for the evening which include you, so don’t run off.”

    The man hurried to the edge of the gardens where he’d promised to meet his boss.
    He knew his boss would be angry about the delay but he’d a devil of time ditching Jonathan. Since Jonathan had taken over as head of security, he’d been working under the arrogant bastard. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when the coup d'états takes place. Then we’ll see how well he handles failure. Having a ready apology on his lips when he entered the gazebo, he was silenced before the other man stepped out of the shadows. Trying not to struggle against the power which had paralyzed his vocal cords, he waited.
    "You're late.” The threat in the other man’s voice was apparent.
    He felt like a bug under a microscope. A sigh of relief escaped him when the magic strangling him finally released him. His boss continued as if nothing had happened.
    "How’s the progress going on finding her lover?"
    "Slow. I'm
