Fire sat on her fingertips, in her eyelids, in every pore and strand of hair.Shit.This had never happened before.

Joan broke the kiss, making Sadie moan in protest. She gently removed Sadie’s hands. “Let me wash up really quick.”

“If you insist.” Sadie kissed her cheek. “I should wash up, too.”

She headed for the bathroom. Joan halted her. “I…have to…as well…” she stammered, then whispered, “Pee.”

“Oh.” Sadie giggled. “Sure. Do what you need to do. I’ll use the kitchen sink.”

“Thanks.”

Sadie sprinted toward the kitchen. “Hurry!”

Joan whipped the bathroom door closed. She hastened to the sink and wrenched the cold water on. Shoved her hands under the steady stream and studied her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes shimmered orange and angry with impending release. “Come on, Joan. Get it together.”

She splashed water on her face. Three times. Small fireballs shot from her eyes into the stream coming from the faucet. Ugh, it was so gross when fire came out of her eyeballs. At least the build-up would be gone.

She sank one arm into the icy water, then the other. Shook the droplets off, along with a few sparks. Her eyes were returning to baseline.

“Better.” Joan nodded at her reflection.

Her heartbeat pounded, and the throbbing in her clit was likeOnly Sadie can take care of this, pal.

So much emotion. Too much. She really, really,reallyliked Sadie. Was falling fast and headfirst for her.

The fire started building again. “Shiiiiit,” she gritted through clenched teeth.

She concentrated on generating a sharp sliver of near-white flame between her hands. She really did have to tell Sadie the truth. Just not tonight. Not when neither her brain nor body were functioning properly.

All her focus poured into the flame. She kept it flickering until she couldn’t hold it any longer and shoved it underwater. A cloud of steam rose up, fogging the mirror. Great. Hopefully Sadie would be too preoccupied to notice it was like an oven in her bathroom.

But it worked. Joan was normal-level horny now. She dried off while taking deep breaths. This was good. Everything was contained and under control.

“Time to start your future,” she told herself.

A future without Spark, without Catch. Just Sadie and Joan.

CHAPTER16

Sadie pulled her pale pink bra from the bottom of her shirt. While she was very much looking forward to Joan taking bras off her for many days and nights to come, tonight was about getting naked as quickly as possible. The super woman wanted to be with her. Wanted to help her achieve her dreams. Wanted Sadie to be a part of her life. They needed to get to it ASAP.

The bathroom door cracked open just as she flung the bra into her bedroom. Joan watched it sail, then walked over to where Sadie stood impatiently.

“Starting without me?” Joan teased.

Her low tone sent sensual vibrations through Sadie’s belly. She skimmed her fingers up Joan’s arms. “Just moving things along.”

“Much appreciated.”

They joined in a kiss that rapidly grew from soft and sweet to frantic and needy. Joan slid her hands beneath the hem of Sadie’s shirt and caressed her skin. Sadie did the same. Joan was so warm. She always tended to run warm, but this was unusually hot. Maybe all the Supers ran this hot.

Joan exhaled heat into her mouth. It felt kind of weird, but not unpleasant. Sadie broke from the kiss to trail her lips across Joan’s cheek toward her earlobe.

Joan gripped Sadie’s ass and sent a wave of heat through her, like she’d just sat on a heating pad. “You’re really hot,” Sadie said.

“You’re so hot, baby,” Joan murmured. She sought Sadie’s mouth and kissed her with scorching lips.

“No. Joan.” She pulled her hands away from Joan’s radiator of a torso. “You’rereallyhot. Like temperature hot.”
