Ghostwalker 01- Shadow Game

able to be out in the field for longer periods and, even better, they can go without their anchors for extended periods of time. Jeff is improving every day. You've given them hope and a home and a place of safety. You turned all of our lives around, Lily."
    She laid her head on his shoulder. "It wasn't all me alone, Ryland. Things just fell into place." She stared at the image of the little girl. "I look at her and I wonder where she is, what her childhood was like. If she'll hate me when she sees me." She looked at him. "I have to find her. Somehow, someway, I have to find her." She was pleading for understanding.
    Ryland instantly framed her face with his hands. "Of course you do, Lily. The private investigator is working. We have several files and the places to start that your father gave us. We'll find them all. Together."
    "I knew you'd say that too." She leaned into him. Kissed him. Took possession of his mouth like a master. "You always know what to say, don't you?" She murmured the words against his throat, her tongue tracing little designs on his skin while her fingers began a strange little tapping dance over his suddenly bulging jeans.
    "What are you doing? Lily! That's driving me crazy. Where the hell did you learn that little trick?' How could she have such an instant effect on him? She could make his body so hard and so hot with just a simple movement.
    She laughed at him. "The book, of course. It is our wedding night. I thought a few special tricks might be in order."
    "I've got to read this book."
    Her fingers continued stroking and tapping and caressing until he thought he'd go out of his mind. All the while her tongue kept the same rhythm on his throat.

    "I can't stand in front of all those people with a hard-on, Lily," he told her firmly.
    "Why not? Everyone comes into my bedroom when I'm naked under my sheet," she pointed out. Already Ryland was working his magic, dispelling her sadness, making her world right again. Lily caught up the remote and snapped off the video. "You always manage to make me feel like we're partners."
    He caught her chin. "We are partners. Life partners. Ghost-Walkers. There aren't too many of us in the world and we have to stick together."
    "I guess we do."
    "So are you all right now? You're still going to marry me this evening?"
    Lily laughed. "Absolutely. I have a high IQ. I'm not about to let you get away."
    "So do it again."
    "Do what again?"
    "The thing with your tongue and your fingers. Do it again."
    "I can't do it now. It's for our wedding night. I told you, I wanted to surprise you with my special trick."
    "Yeah, well, you gave me the hard-on, now you have to do something about it."
