reveal yourself. If you don’t do it, we will. We want to be as gentle and
considerate of your fears as possible, but we can’t give you more than this. We
want to hold and touch you. We don’t want you to look at us with fear or panic
if we hold you between us. We’ll want to do that.” Linc smiled. “We’ll try to
remember to approach you one on one for now.”
    “I don’t want—” Cami began, only to be cut short by Colm.
They seemed so confident and determined. She felt pushed into a corner. How
could they seem so unaware that they were ripping everything away from her?
    “We’ve seen the interest in your eyes and smelled your
arousal, even if it is tinged with some other strange scent. We might not be
able to tell if you’re our mate, but we know you want us. Don’t try to deny
that. Forcing you to acknowledge that doesn’t go along with our plans.” Colm
glared.
    She knew they could do it too. It wouldn’t take more than a
kiss. Her body came alive around them, although she had no idea why. They were
all wrong for her. It was bad enough that they were part of a Thent , but
those two led it.
    “Don’t panic right now, Cami. As we said, we’re not going to
rush you. Let’s move onto the lesson and you can worry about what’s going to
happen later.” Linc raised his hands as if he could see that she was about to
start arguing or denying everything they said.
    “What are we doing tonight? More breathing and relaxation
methods similar to the other times?” She took a deep breath and focused on the
lesson. It would get them out of the room. Then she could think and panic until
she came up with another plan to keep them at a distance, because something had
gone wrong with the first one.
    She didn’t know how they’d come to their conclusions. Their chatar hadn’t told them anything. From what she’d seen, he was more of the hint and
let them figure it out type of person. There wouldn’t be any guessing or
uncertainty if he told them even a little of what he knew about her.
    “A little more of the relaxation and control methods and a
way for you to actually get rid of some power, even if it is a little
unconventional.” Linc rose from the bed to stand, but he didn’t make any move
to come closer to her. “Start with the breathing and focus inward.”
    She got as comfortable as she could on the hard chair and
took a deep breath before she closed her eyes. For a few moments, she
concentrated only on her breathing and her heartbeat. She focused on slowing
both rhythms until she felt almost sleepy. Then she turned her attention to the
magic.
    The power responded to her will, decreasing in intensity as
long as she was calm and focused, but that wasn’t going to help her if she was
excited or panicked or in a situation where calm wasn’t a possibility. That was
when she needed the ability the most. With Linc and Colm deciding they were
attracted to her, there would be times when her emotions were too high to do
this.
    She knew by now that they would want her to keep at it for
more than a few moments before she opened her eyes and asked for feedback. She
pushed the power down and then coaxed it into rising before repeating the
process.
    When she thought she’d gone on long enough, she finally
opened her eyes and met the gazes of the two men watching her. The intensity in
their eyes threw her a little. That wasn’t the way a teacher looked at a
student. Normally, she didn’t mind them watching her, but the look in their
eyes was far from the detached watchfulness she’d come to expect.
    “Is that enough for tonight before we move on to what you’re
going to teach me. And why is it unconventional?” She stretched her legs out in
front of her. She wanted to get up and start walking around, but didn’t want to
delay whatever lesson they were going to try.
    “Yes, if you practice that at least two times a day, you’ll
be able to get more control even when you’re not as calm as you are
