\u201cOh sweetheart\u2026 You\u2019re what, twenty-something? I\u2019ve been doing this longer than you\u2019ve been around. To say that I\u2019ve mastered the art might be\u00a0exaggerating\u00a0but\u2026it\u2019s pretty close to the truth.\u201d He bit his lip in conceitedly satisfied manner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOooh, I should be flattered, shouldn\u2019t I.\u201d She smirked at him. \u201cI think I\u2019ll want another kiss for this information. Honey, I\u2019m thirty-two. And an empath.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201c32? You don\u2019t look a day over 25\u2026and I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019ll want to give you another kiss now. I don\u2019t like feelings, really, so\u2026.\u201d He coyly raised an eyebrow, gauging her reaction. \u201cI guess I don\u2019t see a problem as long as you can\u2019t go around scrambling them about like you\u2019re making an\u00a0omelet\u00a0with my brain.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer rolled her eyes hard, disentangling her arms from his neck. \u201cWhy does everyone assume I\u2019m going to go rummage in their head? I can\u2019t help but hear what you broadcast, hon. I\u2019m not interested in changing it.\u201d She ran a hand through her hair, resettling it, then cocked an eyebrow at him. \u201cLetting you share what I\u2019m feeling \u2026 oh, say, by way of desire? Passion? That intrigue you any?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a thing. I\u2019d imagine that having to hear all that shit gets rather annoying. And to be honest, I don\u2019t even like half of what\u2019s going on in my head, so having to listen to it must be worse. But\u2026desire and passion are feelings that I can get behind. Or in front of. Whichever, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

He let go of her and brushed a stray piece of hair out of her face, suggestively smiling. \u201cSorry if I killed the mood there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She shrugged. “Don’t fool yourself; what I get off you is no more or less bad than what goes on in my own head. We all like to think we walk in our own personal darkness, unrivalled by anyone else.” Summer blinked, smiling with a tinge of bitterness. “Never mind.”<\/p>\n

Cocking an eyebrow again, she added, “I’m sure someone as … experienced as you can bring the mood back, if you’re so inclined.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
