Excerpt from Aliens in the Barn:
As
Miaxa’s current form grew larger in the rearview mirror, Bazin took control of
the truck again.
Alex
threw up his hands. "Come on, Bazin!"
Bazin
revved the truck, no intention of speeding up. The arc of lightning that passed
from Miaxa just as she connected with the bumper? That was unexpected.
When
Alex started jumping and yelling as if the cab were suddenly full of
rattlesnakes, he knew he had been unsuccessful in preventing the electric shock
from passing through. When a thrill like he hadn’t felt in a long time coursed
through his system, he knew he was unsuccessful in preventing the aftershock,
too. The console was covered in arcs of lightning, jolts of electricity
shooting through his system in wave after delightful wave.
The
human was obviously not having the same thrill, yelling and cursing, trying to
stand up off the seat, only to be electrocuted through those spindly legs as
soon as his booted feet hit the floor. Alex tried pulling up on the steering
wheel, but judging by the loud crackle of sparks that traveled from his fingers
up his arms, Bazin was guessing that didn’t help at all.
"Owww!
Bazin? What the hell…Argh!" Alex screeched.
It
was difficult to tear away from the wonderful sensations, but Bazin managed to
speed up the truck, edging a little distance from the Jeep.
"Quantus, Miaxa," he
sent through their bond. "You're going to make me electrocute my
human."
