Re: Empath and Jessica & Open
That little smile, the fingers through her hair and the motion it made caused a warmth that had nothing to do with their environment to burst through Manuel's body. His smile reflected that, as did the the solid gaze he leveled on her.
"Not a thing, Jessica." He said her name as if tasting it. "Just my name. I assume it is the same for you?"
He didn't stop getting closer to her. He HAD to be closer to her, and he wanted her to want the same. That desire kicked in a power he didn't remember he had. His empathy pulsed out toward her, his eyes on hers making it easier. Trust, it said. It would be a good place to start.
