19

Like an anchor to a ship, the sound of her voice sank deep down my soul arresting the whole of my being.

I couldn't move.

That voice... It stirred series of unsettling feelings within me. It sounded so familiar yet so foreign.

"Joe... Joe..e-help mee.." I heard the small voce call to me again and like a man caught at sea who hears the call of a siren, I couldn't help but draw closer disregarding the warnings from Xavier not to get close her.

One minute I was looking her over for any physical injuries, the next I had her pulled forward from the bed and pressed into me.

I braced myself for the burning sensation that comes with making skin contact with her but it never came. Rather something far more strange than the former happened.

Sparks... Every part of my bare skin that met hers tingled. It was subtle, almost like a soft caress. Making my soul hum.

She must have felt it too cause she let out a sound close to a purr.
