at the men. Just when they were going to get up and run, she pushed her hand out and the wave disappeared leaving ripples in the water. Erin laughed, delighted with her control. She raised both hands in the air and it began to rain on just the guys. When Myles quirked a brow at her with a look that told her she was in trouble, she made it stop. It had been more of a misty rain so they weren't really that wet.
Erin thought about the dolphins earlier and stuck her hand into the water, trying mentally to call them to her. Within a few minutes, one dolphin jumped out of the water near the dock and then the second one joined them. They swam over to her and bobbed in the water making the cutest noises, calling out to her.
She laid down on the dock on her stomach and reached out to them. When she touched them, she thanked them again for helping her. They shared with her their joy at being able to do that for her and then the female sent her some odd pictures. The female began to communicate to her that she looked just like a woman who 'felt' the same way Erin did. Erin was confused and asked the female dolphin to explain.
The female dolphin told Erin that a long time ago, she had been in these waters as a young. She remembered a terrible noise where something large crashed into the water and there had been fire. The dolphin showed her mental images she had and Erin saw that it had been a plane falling out of the sky. The female dolphin told her there was a man and woman who floated down to the water like the jellyfish. The female dolphin's parents had tried to help the people but had been unable to. The dolphin told her that a large net had scooped out the two people in the water before the adult dolphins could help them.
Erin asked the female dolphin what she meant by Erin feeling the same as the woman. The dolphin showed her that people who were in the same pods, which Erin translated into family, would feel the same way. The dolphin told Erin the woman and Erin felt the same. Erin understood the dolphin was trying to tell her something about the woman and Erin being in the same family. She told the dolphin she must have been mistaken. The dolphin showed her mental images again, this one of the boat that had taken the two people away and Erin assumed that they had been rescued.
The female dolphin told her it was one of the boats, which came in the night and poured foul smelling liquid into the water. Erin thanked the dolphin and assured her she was doing everything she could to stop that from happening. The dolphins gave her their thanks and swam off, leaping through the water.
Chapter Thir teen
Erin was puzzled by all the dolphins had told her and mentally pushed it all aside. She needed to collect her samples and stop these people who were polluting the water. The men helped her gather her samples but not without stealing kisses and small caresses as they went. She laughed at their antics to cop a feel while she bent over to get the water samples. She smacked at their hands playfully but in truth , she was soaking wet thinking of getting them alone again.
Once the samples were finally gathered, due to how late it was in the evening, they left them at the lab to assess in the morning. They drove up to the front of the bungalow and when the men went to go inside, Erin hesitated.
"It's okay to go in,” Aedan said from the doorway as he held out his hand.
Myles stepped to her side. "I set up wards all around. No one was able to enter here while we were gone."
Erin knew it was silly, but she was nervous now entering the little house. Myles took her hand and so did Aedan. They walked her inside and then showed her every nook and cranny in the house to show her it was safe. While they walked through each room, they also showed her that all the windows were locked as well. Erin felt better after they showed her the house was clear and protected.
