“Hold on a second. I haven’t felt her power of Seduction in quite some time. Maybe we should give it a small go and make sure she still knows what she’s doing.” Riven chuckles and gives me a wink that has my lower belly swirling.

Before I think about it, I call it forward and push it toward him. He instantly grunts, and his hands fly to hide the evidence that I certainly remember how to put that in action.

My moment of both pride and humor instantly evaporates. The smug smirk on my lips completely fades as I realize what I’ve just done.

“Riven, I’m…I should’ve asked first.”

His brows furrow, then smooth out.

“I give you my unyielding permission to use your Seduction on me, little burden.”

“We all give you our explicit permission to use your Seduction on us. At any time,” Amick says.

Creed and Kyzen express their agreement, and I exhale deeply.

I would’ve felt guilty and disgusting if I’d made them uncomfortable.

Ugh. I don’t want to be a negative reminder to them.

Amick clears his throat, dragging my attention back to him.

“Just so you know, you refuel, feed, whatever you feel comfortable calling it, your power of Seduction through sexual acts. Whether that’s from your own or others around you. Chaos—”

“Save that one for when Riven explains to me how he recharges and what his role is.”

“When Riven does what?” Riven asks.

We ignore him and Amick’s lip twitches as he fights back a grin.

“If I’m being completely honest with you, I’m not sure if you can use the methods from one power and fuel them all or they’ll need to be isolated.”

My lips part and I fail to produce any words back to that. I don’t have to when a hoot and a neigh float through the air.

Seismet, with V perched on his head, trots toward us, and I grin at them.

“One means of recharging will fuel them all with enough…feeding, so to speak.”

“Perfect timing, V. Thank you for joining us,” Amick says, but my attention flies to Kyzen.

He’s staring at me—smugly smirking—basically solidifying my assumption.

“Holy shit,” I mouth and he nods.

That day I destroyed my bathroom, I used a shit ton of Chaos.

Then the two of us had a whole bunch of sex.

I couldn’t even tell the next morning I had used a drop of power.

“Have you both joined us to aid or observe?” Creed asks.

“Both as needed,”V answers, ruffling his feathers in Seismet’s face. I take that as Seismet was planning to say something sassy.

I smile and shake my head at them, then focus back on Amick.

“So which of the other five are we starting with?”

“Consequence. You’ve already experienced it, but prior to understanding all that you know now.”
