'Very good, Khush. You've pleased me.'
His large body relaxed, the compulsion keeping his mind away from the apparent contradiction in that statement.
'Now you're going to please me even more.'
'Tell me. I'll do it,' he replied as my power surged in his veins and the talons of it sank into his consciousness.
I felt Rake and Jesse both tense and alarmed-confused-but they would see.
I took the final steps to completely close the distance between Khush and I. My power was a hammer, but it was also a scalpel, and a needle… and a fucking nuclear bomb.
I put my hand on his shoulder because touching him gave me even more precision, then I began to wash his mind clean-only of this conversation.
'You won't remember anything we've spoken about since you told me that I hadn't given the order to be gentle on the women.'
Khush nodded eagerly, his eyes glazed again.
