The blue and gold swirling colors before her indicated the vortex was
beginning to build. Susan stood up, feeling the electricity building in
the room in the rise of hair on her arms. She saw what Jo saw, not
understanding how, but knowing it was real. Knowing that Jo was much
more powerful than she’d ever thought possible.

“It’s beginning.” Susan said ominously, Jo met her gaze, nodding as her eyes began to glow.

Tina had bathed Shane, who hadn’t spoken a word since telling her about
the Thirst. The words still sending shivers down her spine. Tina wiped
and washed the blood from her, then led her to the bed and let her
sleep off whatever was still left in her system. It had to be drugs; it
was the only thing that she could imagine it was. Because if it was
true. She refused to admit that possibility.

She sat in the chair in the far end of the room, watching Shane’s
peaceful sleep, looking like an angel, her lips pouty and full. Tina
finally went to the bed, crawling on the silky top cover and playing a
loving kiss on Shane’s lips. Waking the sleeping beauty that lay in the
bed that they shared together.

“Tina” Shane muttered, her tongue finding Tina’s mouth instantly as if
she’d known it was there all her life. Tina let her kiss her, her hands
pulling Tina on top of her, Shane’s naked body like liquid flesh under
her. She withered, pressing into Tina.

Tina felt her fingers pulling at her clothes, tearing them slowly with
deliberate care, and she finally let go of her mouth, her lips finding
Tina’s exquisite nipple. She resisted the urge to nibble, drawing
blood. She got Tina’s pants off, wiggling out from under the covers and
Tina straddled her, Shane finding her clit with her right thumb. Her
mouth nursing on Tina’s breast, moaning onto the flesh.

“I want to please you” Shane said in a hard sexy voice, Tina’s voice
was caught in her throat as Shane’s thumb rolled her clit, teasing her.
Her hips began to move over Shane, slow snapping movements as Tina’s
excitement built, not remembering a time when she and Shane hadn’t been
like this. Pressing into her and Tina’s mouth latching onto Shane’s,
and not letting go as she rocked her hips over her lover.

Shane bucked under her, needing her to be pleased, needing to please
her, needing so much more that she was never going to have. Tina
snapped back, tossing her head and her whole body shivered, Shane felt
the wetness seeping down onto her and she smiled, feeling the power
that she had over Tina at just that moment. Yet Tina was still in
control in some ways.
