Atomic Mage Garrett Carter (online e book reader TXT) 📖

As her body's demand for energy rose and fell, Cade watched the level of energy rising and falling with it.

After ten minutes of watching he noticed Sabine's arms gaining definition as his plan succeeded in maturing her body as it should have been.

"I'm going to stay and watch over her my Mina, if you want you can join me here," he said to his panther mate as she stood next to him her ears perked, both of them aimed squarely at their mate.

"I think I will my Cade," Mina said as she joined him on the couch, her hands clasped in her lap as she sat next to him.

As they both kept watch over their little snake, his apprehension slowly dropped as Sabine's energy level rose, the previous rise and fall from the past two hours having stopped a few minutes ago.

He almost cut the power tie at that moment but returned to her pituitary gland for a second to confirm it had stopped doing its job.

Finding the once constant flow had trickled to nearly nothing he decided to remove all the power ties, as he carefully removing them he took in his little snake's improved body.

Sabine had been lithe even after she had filled out with feedings, seeing her now he had to admit not much had changed.

She had much more definition, her arms weren't cut but he could see the muscles under her skin and scales, the flat tummy she had before though had faint outlines of an eight pack under them.

He had expected a little more and dived deeper into her body, what he found surprised him.

The muscles he had been viewing were dense, very very dense, contemplating how much strength she had gained caused a shiver to go down his spine at what she would be capable of now.

Going deeper he found her bones had gotten the same treatment.

They were almost as strong, if their density was any indication, as his metal-covered bones.

Looking down her tail, he saw that her scales had hardened as much as her bones, Sabine, his short sweet mate was a walking... slithering tank.

Thinking back on the fight with the slavers and how her old scales had turned dagger guys blade, he expected her scales would hold up to any bladed or blunt weapon she came up against.

"How is she my Cade?" Mina asked the worried tone clear in her voice.

"She is perfect my love. A little scarily so. I kinda feel sorry for the slavers, just a tiny bit though." He replied with a smile as the worried expression on her face cleared.

"Can we wake her up now? Is she finished?" Mina asked in a rush, the need to check and see for herself not hurting his feelings one bit.

"Let's get our little snake on her feet then," Cade said as they both stood up.

Placing one hand on Sabine's sleeping face he couldn't help but place a kiss on her pink lips. He almost burst a gut laughing as she intentionally returned the kiss with interest.

"Well hello, my little snake how long have you been up sleeping beauty?" He asked after she released him from the lip lock.

"I think I came fully awake when Mina asked how I was, I couldn't help but hold out a few more moments," Sabine said as a smile overtook her face.

That smile devolved into a giggling fit as she saw Mina's face, their panther mate wasn't amused with her antics.

Cade decided to intervene before the fur and scales began to fly.

"Sooo I have a proposition for you two if I could get you attention for a moment." He asked into the air between the two women.

Sabine's giggles dropped off as she rose from the couch and moved over to Mina and embraced her.

Mina softened slowly, returning the embrace with a short kiss to Sabine's lips that did all sorts of good things to Cade's libido.

"All is forgiven Sabine, I was just worried for you," Mina said as she rubbed her muzzle against the shorter woman's hair.

"I appreciate it Mina, my Dresk," Sabine replied as she tightened her arms around the panther woman.

Her affection though well-meaning showed off her new impressive strength as what used to be a tight hug caused Mina to yelp as her ribs ground together.

"Ease up a little Sabine, you are much stronger and more durable than you used to be," Cade said with a chuckle as Sabine quickly released Mina from her bear hug.

"Now I really can't wait for that bitch to be before me," Sabine said with not a little vehemence.

"My proposition from earlier would help you get there quicker my little snake, are you two ready to have your minds blown?" He asked, excitement coursing through him as he waited for the floor.

"We are ready to have them blown," Mina said as she looked over to Sabine for confirmation.

Her vigorous nod was all he needed to begin his spiel.

"So I have been thinking how would you two like to fly our way to the slaver camp. I have a way of lifting our home and getting us there in less than an hour. It would also make our trip to Opect maybe a few days instead of a few weeks, barring any crazy storms... hmm or maybe not." He finished with another faraway look as he contemplated just surrounding the whole house in a shield.

"Hello, my Cade! You were telling us how you were going to revolutionize travel by flying giant buildings around." Mina said with a grin as her mate showed
