Free Celestial Love by Juli Blood Page B

the only thought there until we communicate again.  Because of that it is usually treated as a special gift to be savored.
    “Because most couples are in love when they form the link there usually isn’t a problem with this.  However, I did have a friend whose husband was so nervous the thought was rather silly.  With that in mind I would simply ask that whatever thought you choose , please, make it a pleasant one.”  Princess Kalea was smiling and he heard it in her voice though he couldn’t see her face.
    “I don’t think I’ll have a problem with that,” he replied.  “But just out of curiosity how long could we wait if we chose not to do this tonight?”
    “We could do it at any time.  Admittedly it would be more difficult due simply to the need for uninterrupted time to prepare.”  Her voice was just a touch sad and it made him wonder what exactly it took to prepare.
    Striking a cheerful note and realizing that if this did allow her to read his mind it should also give him the same ability, he quickly answered, “I was just wondering.”  After another moment of silence he said, “Princess Kalea, I think this would be a wonderful way to confirm our union and I would be happy to do this with you now.  Shall we?”
    “Are you sure? I don’t want to pressure you.” Kalea added.
    “Yes,” Bryan answered confidently.
    “Then please place your hands on the table palms up.  I will turn off the image scrambler and allow my hands to hover above yours.  But it is very important that you look directly into my eyes as soon as I raise my face.  Please, this is very important.”  She stressed the point again.
    “All right,” Bryan answered.  “My hands are in p lace and I am making a guess as to where your eyes will be.  I’m ready.”
    “Just look deeply into my eyes and when you feel my voice in your mind focu s on it with a happy thought.”  Bryan heard the smile in her voice again and silently prayed this was the right decision.
    Princess Kalea placed her left hand and then deactivated the image scramble with her right . 
    Bryan saw her rich dark hair woven with white beads and red flowers for just a moment until she lifted her head and almost instantly caught his gaze.
    Her warm deep blue eyes radiated so many thoughts and feelings that Prince Bryan couldn’t begin to understand them all , but he did focus on them.  He focused so intently that he didn’t even realize when his hands started to rise toward hers.  The energy coursing through their palms flowed up his arms and filled him with a feeling of joy and peace.
    ‘Can you hear me?’ Princess Kalea asked in her mind.  He heard her clear and sweet voice in the center of his being.
    ‘Yes,’ he thought back, ‘Can you hear me?’
    ‘Yes, and I want to say thank you.  Thank you for agreeing to be my husband and for sharing this experience with me.  I want you to know that even if you decide not to complete the link I will always cherish this moment.’ Kalea’s feelings of wonder and joy coursed from her to him as did her thoughts.  Her voice flowed in and through him like warm sweet tasting honey.  The look of joy in her eyes set his heart to racing.
    ‘I’m honored that you chose me.  I want you to know that you have the most wonderful voice and ’, as he reached up and grabbed her hands he focused all his energy on thinking, ‘I love your eyes.’
    The contact was sure and strong as their hands held and a bright flash sent both of them into a deep sleep and they slumped forward onto the table face to face, but neither of them realized it.
    Thirty minutes later three strong men followed Queen Nadia into the room.  The two of Prince Bryan’s security detail quickly assessed his condition and found that he was simply asleep.  They lifted Prince Bryan while and the other man, Franklin, lifted Princess Kalea.  At the queen’s direction they were taken to their respective bedchambers.
