“Can you even do that, I know of shields, and their abilities but not the level that you are operating on, most people can only keep a shield up for a couple of hours, and the level of concentration and energy it takes to hold up, leaves them breathless, and in excruciating pain.
And they normal use it as a defense mechanism, it’s the first time I witnessed someone do it to keep their conversation a secret and the level of control that must take, to get your shield to keep out words. And the entire time you were talking to me so casually, that it doesn’t even look like it took any effect on you at all. Besides I can usually feel when those around exert a large amount of power, I mean you have kept up the shield for a few hours now, you should be sweating profusely and I should be able to feel the strength of your shield but I can’t feel anything from you at all. It confounds me.”
“I don’t know it’s just something I can do.”
“You are truly amazing.” He says in such a damn seductive tone, it’s only been a couple of hours but I feel so connected to him.
He lifts his hands up gently and stokes my face. I don’t know how to react. I have never been in a situation like this before, being 20 years old, I have never had a boyfriend because I always like to stay hidden in the shadows; no one has ever touched my face, so very awkwardly I turn away from his hand.
