focused on aggression and sending the energy out with each change in position.
    Nothing happened until second position, when my rounded arms opened out. Jets of energy hit the walls on either side of me. Third and fifth positions worked the best, sending gusts to the ceiling. When I lowered my arms to finish, I glared at the fallen dummies and sent the power their way. The wave crashed and they skittered for the wall. They probably weighed twice what I did and I could toss them like tumbleweeds.
    My chest heaved. I stood still, not quite sure if I could believe it all.
    “Better now?” Ryan crossed the floor.  
    “I don’t know.” At least I didn’t think I was going to explode anymore, but better was relative. I didn’t feel anything close to normal.
    “We’ll have to work on your aim.” He righted one of the few dummies that hadn’t been tossed across the room. “Your broad motions are great, but I think you’ll be more efficient if you can zero in on a target.”
    As Ryan lifted his arm, lightning arced between his fingers. He aimed for the dummy, and the scarlet flash almost blinded me. When the thunder and smoke cleared, a smoldering crater sank into the dummy’s forehead.
    “Do me a favor and don’t point that thing my way.”
    Ryan smiled, and my breath quickened. I really hadn’t appreciated how deadly he was. Or how gorgeous. God, those eyes. He was turning into this lethal bad boy/farm boy cocktail, and I wasn’t one to resist a good drink.
    “Let’s try something.” He took my hand and held it tight. “Work some energy and try to funnel it through me the way you did in the elevator.”
    If we were funneling things through each other, I had some better suggestions, but I kept them to myself. “How do I build up the energy if I’m just standing here?”
    “You tell me.” Ryan’s shrug carried down my arm, sparking a twinge of power.
    I had to flap my free arm like a deranged bird, but the swirls of motion appeared. I focused on Ryan’s warm hand. Go there.
    The power surged through me and into him. Suddenly, holding hands was a lot more than physical. My world narrowed to the point where my motion met his lightning and I could feel Ryan . His power. His incredible focus and the strength of his will. He aimed and fired a blast of our combined energies.
    It was twice the explosion as before, and this time I could almost see it through Ryan’s eyes. He controlled the lightning down to the smallest vibration and it probably hit exactly where he wanted it.
    “Wow.” I didn’t bother to let go. Instead I tried to seal the memory into myself. That’s what I need to learn . Until I reached the same Zen level, I wasn’t getting back to my real life.
    “No kidding.” Ryan was the one who pulled away. “I don’t know who’s amplifying who, but we could take over a country if we wanted.”
    “Definitely England.” I flexed my fingers, trying to dissolve the feel of him. “I can be the next queen.”
    “I don’t do coups before lunch.” Ryan stretched his arms, drawing my gaze to the flex of powerful shoulders. “I’m going up there.” He pointed to the only set of stairs around. “To hit my inbox. For now, work some things out without me on your back. Figure out how the motions feel and see what you can do. I’ll check on you in a few.”
    “Deal.” I waited for him to get upstairs and shut the door before I let loose any pyrotechnics. Once he was out of the danger zone, I took a deep breath and lifted en pointe .
    Let’s see what I can do .
     
     
    Red Ruin
    So much for the inbox. I didn’t even get the stadium’s office computer booted. Instead, I stood glued to the window with no will to walk away.
    Belle danced like a woman possessed, and every move she made took my breath away. It was like ropes lifted her from the ceiling. No other dancer could jump that high, moving like the air supported her. I’d watched enough student dancers to know the difference.
    Even
