~ CARA ~
Rig stood just a couple paces back, gaping at me. But I could feel him pulling away from me from the inside and it was terrifying me.
I hadn't been drinking!
Had I?
I shoved the thought away and reached up behind my neck to grab the little closures at the back of the collar, unclipping them as I literally begged him to believe me.
“I want to do this, Rig. I swear. I want you. Please.”
I dropped the top and Rig's eyes dropped with it. The flames that had already been burning in his gaze roared to a bonfire. Then the world went mad.
Silent, black lightning crackled through the room and his clothing exploded.
I gave a startled little shriek and threw up my hands, but nothing touched me, just jeans and pieces of fabric fluttering to the carpet in front of me.
“Rig?” I was breathless with shock and hurt as I lowered my hands… only to find Ralf standing in the center of the room, his chest heaving.
