Yeah, I hear you. Beka told him.

Do you want me to come get you? Zeke asked.

I’ll get out by myself. And then she shut off her mind. Well, it wasn’t her.

Beka looked at Wes and he smiled. “See? That’s how we control others’ minds. I’m the best at it, but I can help you, baby. You won’t even have to worry about Zeke.â€?

Beka couldn’t think straight. Her thoughts were jumbled yet all focused on Wes’ kiss. It was amazing to feel his lips again but she needed to get her mind on Zeke. Well, maybe—

“Wes, please stop.â€? He was invading her thoughts again and changing things.

“Sorry baby, I guess you want me to teach you how to do that.â€?

“I could do without.â€? Beka closed her eyes, rubbing her forehead.

“Well, Master Bill insisted that I teach you, right?â€? Wes glanced at Master Bill.

“Look Beka, you’re on this side now, so start acting like it.â€? Master Bill told her before leaving the room.

“Who’s idea was this?â€? Beka snapped and Wes contemplated the truth.

He smirked. “It was … Zeke’s idea.â€?
