Sex, the Brain Booster


Meows! Frisky and fabulous Felines... finally, the Kougaress got to sample one of her volunteer-growing Plucky tomatoes... she couldn’t tell how ripe the cherry-sized tomatoes were... well, because she didn’t know what kind of tomato species it was exactly... since she planted several different varieties last year that were different colors... but my, omy! Delicious is not the word... yum, yum, yum! And, there’s more. Hopefully, they’ll ripen soon. And, here’s hoping some seed will get saved for next year.

KitKats, you could have guessed this science-based info was true... but, having sex is a brain booster... give a glimpse to the article below... this Big Cat can already hear it... husbands, significant others and boyfriends will be saying something along the lines of... you want me to work smarter, honey... you gotta give me some sugar tonight... okay, insert your own appropriate dialogue here...

Wow, those bears are really getting their brave groove on lately... going for joy rides in cars... enjoying the hot tub experience... dodging the law by escaping out a window... dining on fruit, then grabbing a teddy bear on the way out... and now, the Kougaress just heard a story about a woman in New Mexico, who was staying with her neighbor because their was a bear in her house and no one from her local control agency had shown up yet to evict the big furry critter.

Sinful Saturday ~ BRANDED BY THE TEXANS ~ New *Sextreme* Release

After authoring eight erotic romance novels, this is the first one rated: Sextreme. Is that sinful enough for this Saturday?

I certainly hope so!

I didn’t start out with that particular goal in my mind when I began writing Branded. However, it is a menage, starring Kylie and her three Texans, Dillon, Dono and Dash. And, holy moly, did the heroine and her heroes take over my keyboard...their wants, their needs...sexually, emotionally and passionately.

Too Much Of A Good Thing...
By Serena Shay

Here we are at Friday again. Yay!

Any big plans out there for the weekend?

So as I was writing Branwen's thoughts, it dawned on how much I enjoy writing descriptive scenes. Using a variety of words to make clear the pictures in my mind and letting those words roll over my tongue.

FLIRTY FRIDAY
Not tonight, dear. I have a headache.

We all have our arsenal of excuses for those times when we’re just not in the mood to get it on. “I’m too tired.” “I have to get up early in the morning.” “It’s that time of the month.” “I just don’t feel like it.”

Sex Boosts Brain Growth, Study Suggests
Charles Q. Choi
LiveScience Contributor

livescience.com – Wed Jul 28, 11:48 am ET

Sex apparently can help the brain grow, according to new findings in rats.

Sexually active rodents also seemed less anxious than virgins, Princeton scientists discovered.

Past findings had shown that stressful, unpleasant events could stifle brain cell growth in adults. To see if pleasant albeit stressful experiences could have the opposite effect, researchers studied the effects of sex in rats.

Scientists played matchmaker by giving adult male rats access to sexually receptive females either once daily for two weeks or just once in two weeks. They also measured blood levels of stress hormones known as glucocorticoids, which researchers suspected might lie behind the detrimental effects that unpleasant experiences have on the brain.

When compared with male virgins, both groups of sexually active rats had cell proliferation, or an increase in the number of neurons, in the hippocampus, a part of the brain linked with memory whose cells are especially sensitive to unpleasant experiences. The rats that had more sex also had adult brain cells grow, as well as a rise in the number of connections between brain cells.

However, the rodents that only saw females once in two weeks had elevated levels of stress hormones, while the rats that had regular access showed no increase in the hormones. Sexually experienced rodents also proved less anxious than virgins, in that they were quicker to chomp down on food in unfamiliar environs.

These findings suggest that while stress hormones can be detrimental to the brain, these effects can be overridden if whatever experiences triggered them were pleasant.

From Astrology.com ~

On July 29, Mars moves into Libra for a brief but potent stay until September 14. It is being said in the astrology world that this is going to be period of revolutionary changes. These changes may be personal, relationship-oriented, or community-based, it may affect nations and even have global significance, but whatever is about to occur will probably be rather memorable or one for the history books.

Mars moves into Libra and promptly runs into a highly strung, rather disruptive, not to say explosive opposition to Uranus on July 30 and a teeth-gritting, impatient, accident prone conjunction to Saturn on July 31. Tempers will flare, plans will get chopped and change with everyone going in opposite directions.

The mood out in the world will be insecure. Playing it cool will be crucial. However tempting it might be, this is not the time to over-react to provocation. If you are confident within yourself, whatever is happening around you will just bounce off. Focus your energy on what can be done right away. Also, be aware that Mars in Libra gets especially annoyed about unfairness and injustice. So if feel you are being treated unfairly or see others in that position, you'll be out there arguing the case to right the wrongs.

Once we survive the early days of August, we will be asked to arrive at decisions by being objective, balanced and listening to both sides of an argument before making judgements. Mars can be rather brash and tactless but it mellows in Libra to become co-operative and more refined. So there'll be a greater understanding of the need for compromise to keep relationships running along smoothly. Resolutions and solutions should be arrived at through diplomacy and communication. Be assertive but not aggressive.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 579 ~

Sylva tried to choke back her tears, but soon yielded to the flood, then to the sobs shaking her body. Somewhere during the storm of her weeping, she realized Zeke was okay. Before her mind’s eye, she witnessed the closure of the blackhole portal. For several moments, it looked like a giant sewing needle had stitched the dimensional wound closed... as if black thread had been used on pewter gray material. She watched evidence of the portal vanish, everything except a slender, nearly translucent strip. “A scar,” she whispered. A second later, Sylva knew the leftover anomaly affected this Earth.

Zeke frowned, and figured his brow knit together like the tight weave of his mother’s sweaters. “The damn bad news,” he repeated. “We got a new problem. That godforsaken hole closed, but didn’t return to dang normal. Did it?” He heard Benjamin step closer.”Yep, right as springtime rain. It’s altering the matrix of our Earth, slight as can be, but it could turn out to be devastatin’ decades down the road.” Zeke listened to his dad’s approach. “From what I gather, studying those panel results, it’s leaking the energy from our Earth.” Benjamin whipped around, fast as a riled badger.

BIG CAT BEARER OF BAD NEWS ~

This is the LAST thing... one of them anyway, that this Big Cat ever wanted to be and do during her lifetime, be the bearer of bad news... not merely bad news... living-in-a-horror-movie news.

No, she wanted to be a BEARER OF GOOD NEWS, or news about the constant uplifting of us ALL. Instead, the government establishments in our precious world have become so mind-blowingly corrupt, so evil in their actions that moi feels a duty to let as many of her darling Big Cats know as possible.

These action/plans were begun decades and decades ago... read the novels, 1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. These works of fiction are written by men who were on the ‘inside’ and wanted to expose the diabolical plans of the psychopath elite.

One set of plans is the incremental poisoning of our food and water. If you dare, if you can stomach it, pun intended... check out the vids at ~ prisonplanet.com/food-the-ultimate-secret-exposed.html ~ to quote:

People the world over, but especially in the United States are under chemical attack. Deadly and dangerous toxins ranging from Aspartame to Fluoride, GMO, Mercury-tainting, pesticides, cross-species chimeras, plastic compounds in chicken, high fructose corn syrup, cloned meat, rBGH and new aggressive GM species of salmon have all entered into our diets and environments– whether we want it or not.

Fireworks at The Romance Studio & Romance Writers Behaving Badly


From Coast to Coast am ~ Partial Lunar Eclipse

The moon passed through a portion of the Earth’s shadow on the morning of June 26th, 2010 and was visible across the western United States. In this photo, the eclipse was at its maximum, and 54% on the moon was in shadow. The shot was taken from Boise, Idaho looking west towards the Owyhee Mountains at sunrise.

Evening purrs, darling summer-strolling Felines... pinch the Kougaress, it’s been another mild lovely day on the tame prairie, though, there are some serious allergens roaming about that got moi this morning... grrrrrr!

Currently, the Kougar is paw-penning furiously to get her two FIREWORKS blogs ready for Thursday, July 1. Oh, yowsa maowsa, one more instance where she bit off more than she can chew. However, here’s the beginning ~

ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY ~

Thursday Thirteen ~ Fireworks in My Erotic Romance

Fireworks: Grace Kelly and Cary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1955 "To Catch a Thief"

As a teenager emerging into womanhood, the movie, To Catch a Thief, made a major impact on me, even though, at the time, I watched it on the small screen since it was a late night TV movie.
~~~
AND! Here’s the beginning of a new scene the Kougar is writing for this blog.

THE ROMANCE STUDIO ~

To Capture a Cat Burglar

The instant Sherissy entered the hotel’s sky lounge, Dolan set his drink down. Surreptitiously, he raked his gaze over the gorgeous woman who had him captured, lock, stock and hard-as-a-rock. The dark ironic joke on him, though, he was supposed to capture her. That is, if he wanted to collect the insanely large private bounty on her.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
by Rebecca Gillan

Hi and welcome to your Wednesday fix of Shapeshifter Seductions! This week, I am reviewing "Captive Moon" by C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp, book three of "Tales of the Sazi" series.
~~~~~~

THE MONTH OF JULY from Astrology.com

As we swing into the month of July and officially enter the second half of this year, the Cancer Sun will keep things on an emotional level rather than a practical one for all of us - a time of feeling and connecting.

On July 5, Uranus turns retrograde - as it always does at this time of the year. When Uranus is retrograde, expect the unexpected. Wonderful and startling surprises are very possible. This retrograde may set your wild side free, or it could make a notoriously outgoing person uncharacteristically shy.

The main challenge this month will be around the total Solar Eclipse on July 11. This will tend to make the cosmic energies even more Cancerian since it brings together the Sun and the Moon into a particularly potent New Moon.

Solar Eclipses and New Moons signal the beginning of new cycles in life. This is the time to act and make decisions that we may have been hesitant about before -- not just during the eclipse period - but for the immediate future, since the influence of eclipses can last up to six months. Now is the time to make changes in those aspects of our lives that we may be dissatisfied with. Any change -- however small it may be -- will ultimately prove beneficial for us.

On and after July 10, when Venus joins Mars in earthy Virgo, we may all find ourselves much more enthusiastic, with a greater sense of contentment and may feel more of a sense of accomplishment even in every day chores.

However, the planetary activity really racks up from July 21 when Saturn moves into Libra to stay firmly in place till late 2012. This will be a time for goodwill and greater understanding and cooperation, although it may create additional work and increase commitments.

The Sun moves into fiery, fun loving Leo on July 22 for four weeks and with it comes more glitter and glitz, as well as a yen to live in the five-star track!

Jupiter turns retrograde in Aries on July 23, and it may seem that our forward progress is impeded and things that seemed for sure suddenly come to a full stop. However, Jupiter retrograde periods give us the opportunity to find inner wisdom and expand internal knowledge. Jupiter may also push common sense to one side as it squares Pluto on July 25. Beware of over confidence! Jupiter and Pluto aspects run on a theme of 'might makes right' so you may think you can break a few rules, even a law or two and get away with it. But be careful -- it sometimes bounces back!

The Full Moon in Aquarius on July 26 is enhanced by a lucky trine between the Sun and Jupiter. However, it may feel like a roller coaster ride around July 27, when Saturn in Libra opposes Uranus also in Aries. And just to make things more complicated, Mars moves into Libra to aspect both Uranus and Saturn in the final two days of the month. This aspect brings about accident prone times and an environment that is certainly argumentative, and not conducive to calm discussions or agreements. Mars-Uranus combinations can be explosive or at least disruptive. Mars-Saturn aspects tend to be impatient, teeth gritting and slightly volcanic since you'll only sit on your temper for so long. The best way to utilize these tricky planetary energies constructively is to keep your head down and plow ahead with difficult tasks requiring focus and perseverance.

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 549 ~

Sylva caressed her man’s cowboy-virile chest while she panted in breaths. “Enough to give you the rope and let you hogtie me, darlin’ mine.” Feeling wild-hot inside, Sylva leaped at her chance. “Is that so?” She raised her brows in a challenge. After stroking his fingers into her hair untangling the long strands, Zeke quirked a grin. “Guess, I’m safe from your ‘manhandling’ for now. No rope.” Sylva figured she’d lasso her husband with her words. “Shouldn’t that be ‘womanhandling’? Oh, and since I don’t know how to sail a loop like you. Yeah, I guess you are safe. For now.”

Zeke watched his little adorable wife smile wickedly, and figured he’d gotten himself into some husbandly trouble. In their future together. “Maybe, I better train you how to sail a loop properly, so all my studly parts don’t get hogtied in the wrong ways.” His woman smiled like a naughty minx, this time. “In the wrong ways?” She paused on purpose. “And, what would be the wrong way to rope your studly parts, cowboy mine?” Zeke brushed his thumbpad over her lush lips. “Well, rope burn is never good on a man’s breeding stock. Womanhandling, I surely like that term.”

BIG CATS, BEWARE OF *DEMONIZATION*

No, this isn’t about the demons in fantasy romance novels, darlings KitKats. Darn it. Claw it!

Straight fang up ~ Congressman Ron Paul and many folks who live and breathe freedom are being demonized by the CORPORATE MEDIA, and will be demonized over and over again, ad nauseam, by those in the so-called mainstream media and by their enemies in the government.

Why? Freedom and enlightenment are WINNING the battle between before the force of darkness and the force of light. Thus, the dark side is launching a brutal and savage attack aimed at convincing folks the good guys and gals are really the bad guys and gals.

Flirting at Romance Writers Behaving Badly


Lovely cool-dry-air evening, my Summer-rolling Kittens... thank the ever-loving heavens the temps on the tame prairie did not reach the forecasted high heat... o-meow-my, you should see the beautiful heavy blossoms adorning one moi’s bushes... one close to the doggie area... yep, the fertilizing is all too good.
~~~
There was a strangely colored moon a couple of days ago. First Luna Belle was a delectable shade of pale lemon... later, in the dark before dawn, the moon was this intense shade of orange... not like a Halloween harvest moon... but blood-orange red... the Kougaress is forced to wonder what is in the atmosphere.
~~~
Oh dreamy-eyed Felines, this Big Cat was rescued in her early morning dream by Armondo, Adrian Paul’s twin brother, or so he tells me. The coloring of this particular dream was vivid as if it took place during a Latin dance festival. It used to be that moi rescued others in her dreams. Of late, occasionally, she is rescued. Very much needed, too. In this dream Armondo encouraged this Big Cat girl to become beautiful again and be with him, to join with him in life... unfortunately not in a rolling-around passionate way... although, that seemed to be something that would happen in the future. So too bad moi woke up before this grand impassioned scene took place.

Part 543 ~

Sylva didn’t resist the intense urge that suddenly overcame her. She threw herself at Zeke seeking him, wanting his protectiveness and his caring. His arms wrapped around her as she clung to his hard frame. “I just need to feel close,” she murmured. God, she hoped he didn’t crush her emotionally as had happened so often with other men. God, she hoped. For an instant it felt as if her heart suspended its beat. “Sylva, darlin’ mine.” He crooned her name as he hugged her more intimately. Rocking her in his arms, he tenderly brushed her temple with his lips.

Zeke felt his woman’s need for him. Even with their dire circumstance pounding at him, even with his savage need to protect his Sylva by catching the bad guys, Zeke knew they both needed to keep their hearts warm for each other, as his mother phrased it. His little bride remained a stranger in a strange land to her. She had no one, but him. She’d been through a whole passel worth of trouble, already. He wasn’t surprised when he felt her tears leaking from her eyes. He kissed away the ones he could capture with his mouth. “Oh, Zeke.”

BIG CAT BEWARE AND TAKE CARE ~

Truly, some people have gone to the insane side. When did it become acceptable for Americans to wear identifying arm bands? That’s what is happening in Indiana where the tornadoes hit. A fellow who survived called in on Coast to Coast am, and said they [the media and police] were lying about the looting going on, that there was none, and that an out-of-area SWAT commander had arrived and taken over their area with his team. People are being forced to register at a government building just to go about their usual business. This is exactly what Hitler did to the Germans. And this is truly the insane part, the unbelievable part, folks are making up excuses for this, as if it’s okay to treat other Americans this way. All this Big Cat can say is, gee wally willickers, have fun in that there concentration FEMA camp. Yep, the authorities are just there to protect you.

Black Tiger and Dirty Dawg

Beautiful Big Cats, how has your day been? Busy, busy, and strange for the Kougaress, including trying help an older gentleman get back home who couldn’t speak well enough to be understood. The tame prairie is not the place to get lost in, either... it can be downright dangerous... however, a happy conclusion eventually came about after much effort on the parts of several of us.
~~~
CHEAP, NON-TOXIC FLY TRAP... and it’s free, free, free!!! What is it, friends? Well, this Big Cat likes to collect and pour her gray water on the plants outside, inside, too. Anyway, she’d put water in a Paul Newman pasta sauce jar to rinse it out and was planning to add that water to her gray water... well, overnight, several flies met their untimely demise, floating on top of the water in the jar... not that there are that many flies around... in fact, none now.

ANOTHER TIP: Purchase lots of sea salt. No, not the crappy table salt stuff, but real sea salt. It has all the good minerals in it that your body needs. Since it looks as though THEY are making salt an enemy of mankind, now is the time to make certain you have this life-necessary substance and stock up on the good kind.

Sun Rocket's Interview and Mae West

Weekend purrs, my gorgeous and sunshine-giddy Felines, it’s a big blogging Saturday for the Kougar.

First, there’s Sun Rocket’s Interview at NAUGHTY LITTLE VAMP ~ http://naughtylittlevamp.blogspot.com ~

This is my heroine in RED LIONESS TAMED, Sun Rocket Kahoqua’s first interview from the future to our 21st century time. There’s a lot of shrimp goodies packed into this Chinese takeout interview. Sun Rocket talks about herself, her times and, of course, Draxen, her swashbuckling space captain.

RED LIONESS TAMED

Intro ~

If yer partial to a futuristic adventurous romp of lust and love on the high celestial seas of space...if you have a yen for those cat shifter types, lament no longer...
And watch out if yer a bad kitty shifter roaming the galactic ports, there’s a kick-ass Lioness on your fleeing furry tail.
Year 3051, the Earth calendar used on Terra-Mars, a terra-formed moon orbiting Mars, the home world of ‘Sun Rocket’ Kahoqua of the Windgrass Clan.

Blurb ~

What does a lioness shifter do when she's suddenly trapped in an unknown space cruiser's cargo hold? Then, despite her ability to savagely defend herself, she's trapped beneath the handsome human Captain. And next, cat-scratching ridiculously, she finds herself carnal-trapped, and meow yowl! bound by leather straps in his bed?
Answer: She fights tooth and claw. Problem: The loner Captain is nova-hot at seducing her.

Guess what, my KitKats, moi finished her editing *for now* on THE TIGER’S MASQUERADE ~ her short story. She has formatted it for submission. However, this particular anthology may not be the story’s home for a couple of reasons.
Yowls still, the Kougar is happily euphoric about her romp of a story. Verra verra happy! And, will find it a home, regardless.

Part 453 ~

Sylva chilled at the way the bullet-drilled bastard laughed, the sound reminding her of too many late night horror movies. As if she stood outside herself, she wondered at her own relative coolness in the face of all that occurred. So far. “Maybe, we ought to put a hole in his head,” she muttered. “See what comes out.” Aiming her gaze, she pretended to laser a hole that would show her the answers to Zeke’s questions. Amazingly, the man screamed clutching his head as if she’d actually done what she imagined. Shaken, bewildered, she trembled for moments, staring at him.

Zeke would have fired, adding another hole in the bushwhacker’s hide, except that his scream keened like a tortured animal. “Make the witch stop!” he hollered, rocking back and forth. Seizing his advantage, whatever it was, Zeke demanded,” Talk, or I’ll have her do worse.” At that same instant, Aunt Martha entered with her prisoner. “Oh, gawd, no! It’s the witch!” the first bushwhacker yelled as if he was about to be eaten alive. “If I’m *the witch*, somebody better start talking. Or, I’m going to start adding to the toad population,” his Sylva boldly stated. The shot bushwhacker writhed.

Sinning Saturday for the Kougar...

Yes, it’s a first, my delightfully sinful KitKats, a blogging first that is... Saturday, March 13th, the Kougar is blogging at ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY... what about, you purr curiously... well, mostly she’s offering one of her x-rated Flash Fiction pieces... but the real fun was in the research for a pic... okay, yes, Adrian Paul heads the list and moi was searching out a pic of him from Tracker, a sci fi, short term TV series he starred in... well, wonder of wonders, she found this great shot of him when he’d been captured by the bad guys and lay spread-eagled out on a medical-type table attired only in his undies... well, dang and hang it, the pic can’t be retrieved anywhere that this Big Cat could find... scratches of fierce frustration... RAWRRRRR... so, moi only got the thumbnail... what the problem is, hasn’t been stated anywhere that this fury-snarling Big Cat has found... so... what a mighty deprivation!!! So not what the world needs now.

And! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Adrian Paul and Alexandra on the recent birth of their baby girl. May all parenting joys ensue.

The Kougar believes this whole STUPID time change thing is not only a brainless use of power by the nasty self-serving elites in DC, but is actually dangerous to your health in certain ways... and here’s an article she came across saying as much.

Is Daylight Savings Dangerous?
12-Mar-2010


It hits teenagers especially hard -

Is something unseen threatening our safety? Since Daylight Savings time starts on Sunday, March 14, we'd better figure out how to protect ourselves.
Daylight Saving Time can be hazardous for your health. On average, people go to work or school on the first Monday of Daylight Saving after sleeping 40 fewer minutes than normal. And recent studies have found there's a higher risk of heart attacks, traffic accidents and workplace injuries on the first Monday of Daylight Saving. Researcher Nidhi Undevia says, "Many people already are chronically sleep-deprived, and Daylight Saving Time can make them even more tired for a few days."

How to get ready? Neurologist Ronald D. Chervin says it can be as simple as going to sleep and waking up earlier by 15 minute intervals in the days leading up to Sunday's change.

Teenagers are especially hard hit by Daylight Savings A study on the impact of light on teenagers' sleeping habits finds that insufficient daily morning light exposure contributes to teenagers not getting enough sleep (thus falling asleep in class).

But it's not just Daylight Savings that's the problem: Researcher Mariana Figueiro says, "As teenagers spend more time indoors, they miss out on essential morning light needed to stimulate the body's 24-hour biological system, which regulates the sleep/wake cycle. These morning-light-deprived teenagers are going to bed later, getting less sleep and possibly under-performing on standardized tests. If you remove light in the morning, it delays the onset of melatonin, the hormone that indicates to the body when it's nighttime. We are starting to call this the teenage night owl syndrome."

The problem is that today's middle and high schools have rigid schedules requiring teenagers to be in school very early in the morning. These students are likely to miss the morning light because they are often traveling to and arriving at school before the sun is up or as it's just rising. In addition, the schools are cost cutting and probably not providing adequate electric light or daylight to stimulate this biological or circadian system, which regulates body temperature, alertness, appetite, hormones and sleep patterns.

We spend a third of our lives asleep, but scientists don't exactly know why. Napoleon claimed he only needed a few hours of sleep a night, and Margaret Thatcher boasted that she only needed 5 hours of sleep when she was the prime minister of Britain. But most adults need 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night and children need more, about 10 to 11 hours a night.

Psychologist Jenn Vriend says, "There are so many theories out there, but [sleep is] still one of the great unsolved mysteries of science."

Jewel of the Sun's BLOOD DESTINY
by Bekki Lynn

A little about the making of Elan and Cassandra's story.

I saw a call for submission for stories centering around gems, and more specifically birthstones. Excited, I jumped on the idea. There was no doubt my story would be about the peridot - the Evening Sun, the Jewel of the Sun, Gem of the Sun and many other mental and physical lores attributed to it. I absolutely love Peridot, it's my birthstone.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 439 ~

Sylva gradually ran her gaze down, then up her husband’s lengthening cock and continued teasing him with her languid perusal. “Darlin’, I think my Spring eggs are already cooked and about to be hard-boiled.” Slowly lifting her gaze to his face, she eyed every muscle and sinew of him. “Looks that way,” she breathlessly crooned. Their gazes caught, then locked as nothing could ever unlock them. To Sylva it was more than their incredibly passionate hunger for each other. Tiny flashes of light seemed to leap between their eyes, more and more, and faster, even if the sparks remained subtle.

Zeke could not have said what occurred between him and his Sylva, not precisely. The energy force was that of a man and a woman whose passion knew no bounds. Yet, he realized it was so much more. He had to believe this lightning from their souls had to do with his woman’s psychic abilities. And, he wondered if there was something happening outside of them. Or, if it had to do only with them. Their connection as husband and wife. “Sylva,” he murmured. “What is this?” she whispered. Their gazes remained on each others’ faces. He reached for her.
