  1. Thomas never moved as her fingers touched his. Not a muscle. His eyes closed very slowly.
  2. "Miss Carpenter," he whispered. "Do not touch me. Please."
  3. "No, it's all right," Molly said. "It's all right. I'm here."
  4. Thomas's hand moved too quickly to be seen. He caught her wrist in his pale fingers, and she let out a short gasp. He opened his eyes and focused on hers, and Molly began to breathe harder. The tips of her breasts showed against her shirt and her mouth opened with another soft moan.
  5. I think I made a quiet sound of protest. Neither of them heard it.
  6. He leaned closer, the motion feline and serpentine at the same time. Molly began trembling. She licked her lips and began to slowly lean forward, toward him. Their lips met, and her body quivered, tensed, and then went rigid. A breathless sound escaped her as her eyes rolled back in her head, and Thomas was suddenly pressed against her. Molly's hips rocked against his. Her hands came up and began clawing at his shirt, tearing the buttons from the silk so that her palms could flatten against his naked chest.
  7. Mouse hit Thomas like a wrecking ball.
  8. The big dog's charge tore my brother away from my apprentice and slammed him into the brick of the fireplace. Thomas let out a sudden snarl of pure, surprised rage, but Mouse had him by the throat before he could recover.
  9. The big dog's jaws didn't snap closed - but the tips of his teeth sank into flesh, and he held Thomas there, a growl bubbling from his chest. My brother's hand flailed, reaching for the poker that hung beside the fireplace. Mouse took note of it and gave Thomas a warning shake, his teeth sinking a tiny bit deeper. My brother didn't quit reaching for the weapon, and I saw the tension gathering in the big dog's body.
  10. I came rushing back into myself all at once and said, weakly, "Thomas."
  11. He froze. Mouse cocked an ear toward me.
  12. "Thomas," I croaked. "Don't. He's protecting the girl."
  13. Thomas let out a gasping, pained sound. Then I saw him grimace and force himself to relax, to surrender. His body slowly eased away from its fighting tension, and he held up both hands palms out, and lifted his chin a little higher.
  14. "Okay," he rasped. "Okay. It's okay now."
  15. "Show me your eyes," I said.
  16. He did. They were a shade of pale, pale grey, with only flecks of reflective hunger dancing through them.
  17. I grunted. "Mouse."
  18. Mouse backed off slowly, gradually easing the pressure of his jaws, gently taking his teeth out of Thomas's throat. He took a pair of steps back and then sat down, head lowered to a fighting crouch that kept his own throat covered. He kept facing Thomas, made no sound, and didn't move. It looked odd and eerie on the big dog.
