I’m just about to hightail it down the side alley to the back door—thinking how nuts I am to be willing to jump out of a cake and hoping like hell that Nic has a good wig for me—when I catch a glimpse of movement over my shoulder. As I spin around, I come face to face with a well-built stranger whom I’ve never seen before. He’s gorgeous, but a sensation crawls over my skin, like a tingle of electricity, both gentle and warning. A sound escapes my lips, not in the least bit smooth, rather more of a squeak. His reply is a bit subtler as the corners of his mouth turn up slightly. Now, I’m not saying I feel scared, for some reason I’m not, even though I damn well should be. Here I standing here in the dark with a man I don’t know who looks like he could punch through a wall without breaking a sweat, but something about him just makes me calm.
“I’m Ryan. I’m leading the security team here tonight. You’re Alex Conner, right?” He gets straight to the point, looking as if this is his usual MO, and all I can do is nod. I think I’ve forgotten how to blink or even breathe. Ryan reaches down and brushes my waist to tap the tiny radio clipped to my slim belt.
“We’re on channel five. Let me know if you need anything.” And then he vanishes, blending his fine body in with the night.
“Shit, shit, shit,” I curse as I barrel into the woman’s bathroom, nearly killing Nic as I haul ass into the back stall. Nic follows me in, looking eager with a wicked smile on his face.
“Now, I hope no one needs this stall cause this may take a while. What are you waiting for, girl? Take your clothes off. Wait a minute. What is that look? Where is he? He must have been fine, because you are glistening.”
He was fine, over six feet of pure muscle, but not overly so. Hard everywhere, and decked out in all black from head to toe. His skin looked like it had been dipped in a mix of cinnamon and mocha, but I couldn’t place his heritage. Latino, or maybe from some remote tropical heaven, or, goddess I don’t care, he was gorgeous and terrifying—don’t forget terrifying. He was like a taciturn, dark-eyed stone God, but the air around him seemed to crackle with a promise of squashing anything or anyone who causes trouble tonight; and those hands and lips.
“Damn it. Why is it so hot in here?” I am pulling my clothes off and putting the barely there clothes on, rambling about dark eyes, skin, and almost peeing myself.

Taking in the landscape around me, I’m mesmerized by the colors in the sky. The blues, purples, pinks, and reds look like watercolors, swirling amongst traces of clouds as the sun begins to set. The desert, though the plant life is primarily muted in color and stunted in growth, is still vibrant against the red, sandy dirt. Tall cylinder saguaro cacti reach into the night sky like long fingers escaping the earth, reaching helplessly for the stars.
I take it all in, every part of the Arizona desert, even the rustle of wind through the small leaves of the sage bush, inaudible to the human ear, but not for me. I sense the scratching sound of burrowing insects in the sand, and scorpions under stones. I even hear Dana’s heartbeat; it thumps in time with the pulse of Gaia herself, of the Earth’s goddess who allows me to harness her Earthen energy.
I splay my fingers towards the earth, willing Gaia to share her power. A tendril, merely a whisper of power, like static electricity, rushes into my fingertips and I force it to move into my being. Still drawing upon the earth, I drive some of the power into each crevice of my body and into my mind, holding it there, keeping it stored, so I don’t have to stop and seek out more during this duel with Dana. Looking down, I spot emerald green vines sending off bursts of power—the visualization of my ability, that only Earthen Warriors like myself can see—weaving around my arms. My grandmom’s icy blue dandelion dances along the twining vines, and I smile at her presence.
A buzzing hits my awareness; I’m in tune with the world around me, sensing everything, even the sound of Dana’s flowing white dress nearly 100 feet away from me. What never escapes my awareness over the last few weeks is the heavy band of metal constantly banging against my chest and it’s my own damn fault. For some reason, I cannot get rid of the ring. What else can I do? I tried to leave the ring in San Diego the night I left with Dana instead of following the plan to find Greg with Ryan. I placed the ring in an envelope and left it on my coffee table with a note, knowing Sandra or Ryan would find it, but I woke in Dana’s car to find it snugly attached to my right ring finger again.
Desert sand flows around me as I exert more force, arcing and sending my staff into a spin, smacking glowing balls of fiery light out of the air. At first, Dana sends them to me all nice and sweet-like, spinning the bright balls of light—the size of a racquetball—around me lightly, and giving me a chance to whack a few. Though, I think she’s trying to get me dizzy, off my game, and on my ass.
