Lexi came around the counter and looked at the book. Neo scoffed at her efforts and challenged her to take a closer look. Lexi fixed him with a wicked female look and rolled her eyes but she leaned closer over the book, nearly resting her forearms on the glass counter top.<br/><br/>She could make out some very faint markings which looked like the symbols painted on the doll which had been on her bed. Lexi frowned and turned around to question Neo with a look, but he just shook his head and motioned for  her to carry on.<br/><br/>The odd thing was the faint sound of a bee buzzing when she leaned close to the pages. Lexi rested her weight on the counter top and laid her ear on the book.<br/><br/>“Did you hear that?” she asked, Neo, as she stammered to make a plausible excuse for the sound  she thought she heard.  He came to lean over her, coming closer to listen to the board too. He just shook his head and stood up. Lexi was aware of his body heat and something clenched deep in her belly. He pointed to a bit of text in the book and all she could do was follow the movement of the finger as if it had a life all of its own.  Lexi swallowed convulsively. She had no idea why anyone would want to talk or listen when Neo was so close by. How did he keep the women from finding him? She rehearsed in her head what she needed to hear him say. She scolded herself because the need was coming from her and he was the one with the ability to turn the situation from pure lust to a more practical magik needed for combating the demon. Lexi licked her lips and struggled to focus her mind.
