Chapter 6

“One of us can augment your power easily enough. Got a preference as to which?” Dreswick asked.

“Agent Caldwell,” I answered, the words out of my mouth before my brain had a chance to think things through. I barely held back the groan. Gods knew that was a bad idea. Would I even be able to concentrateat all with the man’s hands on my skin? But his hum of energy resonated well with my magic. Caldwell wasactually the best choice. And I could be professional.

Caldwell stared at me, his blank face a mask.

I quickly added, “If that’s all right?”

Another moment of silence passed before Caldwell gave a single nod. He removed his jacket and handed it to his partner. I gulped. The buttoned-down shirt fairly strained at the seams to contain his shoulders. I averted my gaze. Broad, strong shoulders had always done it for me. I kept my attention fixed on the bowl before me as Caldwell moved in behind me.
