Chapter 84

"But I don't want you to start feeling like I'm invading." She looked around. "Technically I seem to be able to get into anyone's head if I try to. I've done it while people were sleeping." Her eyes started to tear. It frightened her. "Before we mated I thought about trying to read your thoughts about me. I never did," she said quickly. "I don't want to be like Rafe. I don't know how to make it stop. And the more things I try the more things I seem to be able to do. What's worse is that there isn't anyone for me to ask about it. Not now." Aislinn's mind was overwhelmed by a feeling of her grandmother watching her. It only made her more upset.
Cullen felt her hands trembling in his. "If it makes you more comfortable to be inside my head, piseagan, then it's okay. Don't worry so much about what you can do. You'll never be like Rafe. It's not your capabilities; it's what you do with them that make a person. Just be more selective about what you choose to answer when you catch what's going on in my head. Especially if there are other people around." He smiled at her. Then he started thinking about what he'd like to do with her after dinner. "Although there are times that a man could grow to love having a mind reader around." His eyes sparkled and he could feel her upset fading away.
Aislinn smiled. The image she was getting was pretty graphic. "I love you," she said softly.
