Free Vision of Seduction by Cassie Ryan Page B

off the
    edge of the table and clasped them in her lap as she gulped in air.
    Alyssa still sat across from her at the table—very alive—her dark brows
    knitted with worry. Grayson knelt beside Katelyn, his long, dark hair loose
    over his shoulders.
    Even with the horrible vision still fresh in her mind, Katelyn had a strong
    urge to plunge her hands through that wavy mass and drag Grayson
    against her.
    She did a quick double take as she realized he'd replaced his jeans and tight
    T-shirt with a deep blue tunic and trousers— something that looked more
    at home in a Renaissance festival than in the real world she was used to.
    Then the remnants of her vision returned in full force.
    She blew out a shaky breath as she reminded herself that her visions didn't
    always mean what she thought.
    This did nothing to calm her frayed nerves, but it kept her from full-blown
    panic. "I'm okay." Her stomach felt as if she'd swallowed a large stone, and
    her temples throbbed—normal after-vision reactions, but in her already
    weakened state, Katelyn was surprised she didn't feel worse. However, the
    fact that her body continued to ache with arousal concerned her.

    "What happened?" Alyssa passed Katelyn a glass of ice water, and Katelyn
    pressed the cold glass against her forehead, which seemed to chase away
    some of the clammy dread that filled her.
    A picture of Alyssa's sightless eyes flashed into Katelyn's mind, and she
    took a large gulp of the water. She let the frigid liquid cool her burning
    throat. "I... I may not be as recovered as I thought." Or maybe I'm just losing
    my freaking mind!
    Grayson stood, his expression a calm mask. "I'm sure that's it. Alyssandra,
    I'll look after her and see to any needs she may have." A look of
    understanding passed between him and the queen, and Alyssa nodded.
    "The council meeting resumes soon, and you mustn't be late. I'm sorry I
    disturbed the last one."
    The queen smiled. "Don't be. We needed a break."
    Alyssa had told Katelyn about Grayson's need for sexual energy to fully
    heal—maybe that could account for what was happening to Katelyn. Did
    this mean that every time she had a vision here she would need to have sex
    to recover?
    The possibility both excited and scared her.
    A vivid flash of her earlier, almost-too-real dream vision with Grayson
    flowed through her mind. Heat seared her cheeks and spread out to her
    entire body like wildfire as she imagined him seeing to her "needs."
    A small, knowing smile curved Alyssa's lips, and the breeze tousled her
    dark hair, and she pushed it back from her face. As she stood, her chair
    scraped against the white stone of the balcony. "In that case, I'll leave you
    two alone, and we can talk later." The queen's beaded braids clinked
    together lightly when she rose. "Katelyn, it was nice to meet you. I hope
    you enjoy the hospitality of Tador. My door is always open if you need
    anything at all."

    A hard slap of lust hit Katelyn and zinged hot need to her throbbing pussy
    and aching breasts. She swallowed back the sudden sensations.
    Her mind told her that "anything at all" were simply three innocent
    words—appropriate and polite in this situation. Apparently, her body
    didn't buy into the whole logic scenario since vague images of Alyssa's
    naked body flitted through Katelyn's mind.
    She shook her head to try to clear her thoughts but only succeeded in
    making herself dizzy.
    One minute she had a vision about killing the queen, and the next she
    fantasized about her. Either Katelyn had suddenly turned into a
    spontaneous nymphomaniac, or Alyssa was right and this planet triggered
    all these strange reactions.
    That had to be it. Since when had she ever fantasized about women before?
    Katelyn rubbed her hands over her arms and tried to reassure herself that
    this was actually reality.
    Alyssa started toward the door to the balcony, and Grayson pulled her into
    a quick hug before he dropped a very brotherly kiss on her cheek.
    After Katelyn's
