Spectra’s shoulder tipped innocently. “She is a sweet one. I see why you want her work.” A sly smile touched her lips. The banter finally reached a crescendo and truths were shared. The words he spoke lit a fire in her eyes, one set to sizzle on his dark skin. In her mind, all the channelers in the world gathered to one spot until the crowd spilled over one another just to get a glimpse at him who would unite them all. Marcus on a pedestal, spotlights illuminating the globes of his eyes. It was intoxicating.
Except for the souring notion that Spectra was herself squeezed shoulder-to-shoulder with the masses like a common nobody. That certainly couldn’t be allowed to continue. Whatever the future held, a goddess as herself would not deface herself.
This was her chance. Marcus couldn’t be allowed to become distracted by sweet little girls when a real woman was willing to join his side. Marcus was already willing to accept flattery, though she suspected he was not swayed by it as much as he let on. This was the mind of a strategic genius.
Neither was Spectra willing to beg him to allow her to ride his coat tails. She would only deign the idea if he asked her to join the cause.
“You’ll be happy to know that I am free this weekend for you to take out.” her lips pursed, languid lashes winking suggestively.
