Atomic Mage by Garrett Carter (short books for teens txt) 📕

a look of doubt, males in their experience not having a clue what to do when it came to more than hunting down their food.

Shaking himself out of his daydreams of cooking up a four-course meal, Cade and his mates got down to eating the sparse meal as he wished he could make more substantial.

He noticed while he ate that the girls had dressed rather similar to his random garb.

Mina's was almost a match for her outfit that he had met her in, the leggings that held her well-padded thighs the only difference, them being black instead of brown.

Sabine almost matched her Dresk with a tight leather jerkin that showed off her improved bust.

The unasked question of bottoms was answered by a black leather skirt that came from somewhere in the armories supplies.

Cade wasn't complaining though, the smallest movement from his little snake gave him a tantalizing view as he found out Sabine hadn't bothered with panties.

His mind drew off on that tangent for a few moments, we're there undergarments in this world for his little snake.

Coughing and catching his breath after something he swallowed some oatmeal that went down the wrong tube after his little mental diversion, continued his meal with a smile.

As they finished Cade decided to make good on his promise to Sabine last night.

"Sabine, come with me for a moment, Mina, if you want to you, can come with," he said as he made his way to the couch in their living room.

"Sabine, have you told Mina about our conversation last night, or was it this morning?" Cade asked as he looked into Sabine's questioning violet eyes.

"Yes we have talked my Cade and she agrees," Sabine said after her face cleared of confusion.

"I agree with the idea my Cade but how are you going to make it happen?" Mina asked, her head cocked as she waited for his response.

"I have an idea that I think will work. I wasn't always this big, even when I arrived here. The modifications I made to my body were a choice, I think I can provide Sabine with the energy required to get her body to where it should be. Essentially trick her brain into thinking it is just starting puberty and provide the energy need for the changes she would have naturally gone through.

"That sounds reasonable," Sabine said her face pensive, a little hesitant about going through puberty once again.

"It shouldn't hurt and if you want I can numb you up so you won't feel a thing, just an hour or two either awake or asleep and your body with be what it should have been," Cade said fighting a grin at the hazy memory of his own puberty.

Sabine's though had been a million times worse he imagined, all alone in the jungle with her changing body. He was surprised at how well adjusted she was considering her history.

Cade decided to skip her psychiatric evaluation and accept her for the person she was, she did make it very easy to love her.

"Whenever you are ready my little snake lay down on the couch and we can begin," Cade said as he stood back.

Sabine kissed her mate on the cheek as she slid past him with a smile full of trust.

"So awake or asleep Sabine?" Cade asked as she got comfortable on the couch.

"Asleep, please. I would rather not experience those aches again all at once." She said as she closed her eyes with a serene look on her face.

Cade had a moment of panic as he realized he had never tried to put someone to sleep with his power before.

Knock them out with blunt force trauma, sure, choke a bitch out yup. He doubted Sabine would appreciate those methods though.

He braced himself for failure as he formed a plan to put his little snake into a peaceful slumber.

With a thought he enveloped Sabine's brain with his power and pushed his intent into it, envisioning the bone-weary tiredness of their post-sex exhaustion last night.

He continued to push thoughts of the warm blanket covering her and the safe secure feeling of his body beside her.

As the seconds ticked by he wasn't sure he accomplished anything besides staring down on his basilisk mate while she lay on the couch.

He was about to call it quits and try another method to put her to sleep when Sabine yawned.

He quickly gazed into her brain and noticed a rush of hormones being sent through her bloodstream as she stretched her long body out before making a high-pitched moan of contentment.

As the amount of sleepy hormones increased he saw her heart rate slowly drop as her breathing slowed and evened out.

Cade was overjoyed that his idea had worked as a quiet snore emanated from Sabine as she fell into a deep slumber.

Taking a moment to identify the chemical makeup of the sleepy hormones Sabine had released he found their source and tied a small amount of power from the home supply to keep it going.

After he was sure she wouldn't wake he dredged up the vision of her preteen self from her last memory of her mother and pushed that same intent into her pituitary gland.

He stood by for a few minutes as the line of power he had tied to the gland forced it to produce the concoction of hormones everyone was at the whim of at some time in their life.

As the gland did its job Cade surrounded Sabine's body in a net of power that draped over her whole length and with a small force of will started sending the energy
