Valerie sat down. She could hardly do anything else. She had to know what a life mate was. She suspected it was important. Vital, even. She just didn’t know why. “Mind reading is one of the skills that evolved through the nanos. Immortals can read most immortals younger than them, and occasionally even immortals older than themselves. But they can read all mortals unless they are mentally ill or suffering some sort of ailment like a tumor that might block the part of the brain where thoughts are processed.” “I’m not crazy,” Valerie denied, eyes wide. “No, of course not,” he said quickly. “Then I have a tumor?” she asked with horror. The news was devastating. Dear God, she was only thirty. Too young to— “Breathe,” Anders repeated, capturing her hands and chafing them between both of his. “You don’t have a tumor, Valerie. That’s not why I can’t read you. Leigh, Lucian, and—hell, everyone who has encountered you—has been able to read your thoughts like a book. You are not ill.” “Oh, good,” Valerie let her breath out on a sigh and then frowned. Really it wasn’t that good. While she was glad she wasn’t ill, it was rather disturbing to think every one she’d met since waking in Leigh and Lucian’s house had been able to read her mind. Pushing that worry away for now, she asked, “Why can’t you read my mind?” “Because you’re my—” “Life mate,” she finished for him, recalling his saying that earlier. “Yes. And a life mate is that one person, mortal or immortal, that an immortal can neither read nor control, and who cannot read or control them.” “And that makes them a life mate?” Valerie asked uncertainly. Anders nodded. “It is a special gift to us. With the rest of the world we have to constantly guard our minds to prevent our thoughts from being read, which can be exhausting. It’s that, or restrict ourselves to a solitary existence.” He paused and then said, “But with a life mate we don’t have to do that. We can let our guards down around them, and just enjoy the company of another without fear that they’ll read our thoughts.” “And I’m that for you?” “Yes, you are,” Anders assured her as if it was a good thing.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lynsay Sands" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/lynsay-sands/what-is-a-life-mate-if-you-would-care-to-sit-down-i-ll-explain-anders/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/210/lynsay-sands-2379_books_what-is-a-life-mate-if-you-would-care-to_738855.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/210/lynsay-sands-2379_books_what-is-a-life-mate-if-you-would-care-to_738855.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/210/lynsay-sands-2379_books_what-is-a-life-mate-if-you-would-care-to_738855.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“What is a life mate?” “If you would care to sit down, I’ll explain,” Anders said quietly.

She was looking more relaxed now that he wasn’t approaching, and her head was tipped curiously as she waited for his answer. Apparently he wasn’t quick enough answering, because she went on, “Or is it your last name like you call Justin by his last name Bricker?” “It’s a short form of my last name,” he answered. Her eyebrows rose. “Which is?” “Andronnikov.” That made her eyes widen. “What’s your first name?” He was silent for a moment, but suspected now that she knew she didn’t even know his first name, Valerie would hardly be willing to kiss him again, let alone anything else if he didn’t tell her. Women could be funny about wanting to know the name of the guy sticking their tongue down her throat while groping her. “My first name is Semen.” She blinked several times at this news, and then simply breathed, “Oh dear.” At least she wasn’t laughing, Anders thought wryly, and explained, “It’s Basque in origin. Based on the word for son.” “I see,” she murmured. “Everyone just calls me Anders.” “Yes, I can see why,” she muttered, and then cleared her throat and said, “So your father was Russian, and your mother Basque and neither of them spoke English?” “What makes you think that?” “Well it’s that or they had a sick sense of humor,” she said dryly. “That’s like naming a daughter Ova. Worse even. I’m surprised you survived high school with a name like that.” “Actually, I’ve met a couple of women named Ova over the years,” Anders said with amusement. “Dear God,” she muttered. Anders chuckled and moved sideways, not drawing any closer, but moving to grip the edge of the pool as she was doing so that they faced each other with their sides to the pool rim. Valerie smiled, and then said, “So were you raised in Basque Country or Russia or Canada?” “Russia to start,” he answered solemnly, easing a step closer in the water. She nodded, seemingly unsurprised and said, “You have a bit of an accent. Not a thick one, but a bit of it. I figured you weren’t raised here from birth.” “No, I came here later,” Anders acknowledged. Much later, but he kept that to himself for now and eased another step closer.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lynsay Sands" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/lynsay-sands/what-s-anders-short-for-he-blinked-his-thoughts-away-and-glanced-to/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/da1/lynsay-sands-2379_dear-god_what-s-anders-short-for-he-blinked-his-t_2797186.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/da1/lynsay-sands-2379_dear-god_what-s-anders-short-for-he-blinked-his-t_2797186.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/da1/lynsay-sands-2379_dear-god_what-s-anders-short-for-he-blinked-his-t_2797186.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“What’s ‘Anders’ short for?” He blinked his thoughts away and glanced to Valerie.
