“You're a Psion?” That's why she looks familiar. Psions all have a similar look. Her dark eyes and her accent say that she is from the European clan.
“Hey you guys. I knew it would be you when I saw the sign outside. We have been planning to visit. I am a Fallen, Hope Fallen. I've been looking forward to the celebration and meeting the mom to be, Ashley.” James stops and turns her to look at him.
“Your a Psion?” He says with his brow pulled together.
“I am so glad you know, and I don't have to explain later. Yes, I am a Psion.” She can't take her eyes off of James. I wonder if he is her ONE. We all take turns introducing ourselves and when it gets to Ashley you can tell Hope is surprised to hear she is James's sister.
“What is your gift?” I ask her.
“I am a mind reader.” She smiles.
“Fuck, have you been reading my mind?” James sounds pissed.
“I can't read your mind. I almost thought you were one of us when we met because I could not hear your inner voice.” I hear James mutter 'thank fuck'. I almost laugh. I can imagine what James has been thinking and none of it clean. Hope is beautiful. Her accent is cute too. The old me would have been interested. Now all I see is the woman in my lap.
Ashley goes over and talks to her. She pats her baby bump and asks her questions. I can't wait until Kristen has a baby bump. I touch her stomach and she looks up at me and smiles. She is thinking the same thing. I love this woman so much.
“If she was taken in the park, then I am going there, to talk to the animals.” Forest says as he walks out the door. We all watch him go. He sure is acting strange. I stand up and sit Kristen on her feet.
“I am going to try touching the handle of the car to see if he touched her door.” I tell them. Talon jumps up.
“Let's all go, in case Forest gets something from the animals or Graham falls on his ass and needs to be carried.” He elbows me. I glare at him.
“To the van then.” Aaron announces.
“I want to come with you.” Kristen says.
“Hell no.” Gage says as we all cringe. Ashley had been kidnapped once, while out with us on a case. We all agreed no women in the field. Well I guess the FBI agent is a special case.
“Sorry babe it's a rule. I will hurry back to you. I promise.” I kiss her. I don't care what the others think or say. We are both panting when I come up for air.
“Jesus, you two fogged up the windows in the entire building.” Talon says. Talon is just jealous. He hasn't met his One yet. Talon is the nicest man you will ever meet but he is huge and intimidating. Most people take in his appearance and assume he is mean. It is pretty funny how opposite he really is.
“The girls probably could use your help keeping Ashley calm. She gets nervous about Gage going out on these.” I try to soothe her.
“I'll worry also.” She whispers to me.
“I love you so much, love. I will be back safe and sound.” I promise her as best I can. I kiss her one more time and follow Talon out to the van.
It only takes us ten minutes to get to the park. I see her car right away. There is crime investigation tape surrounding it. I walk over with Talon behind me.
“ Talon, wrap your arms around me.”
“Be glad I love you man.” He wraps his arms around me and I grasp the handle and let my gift take over. Images come at me rapidly. It is only moments before I pass out.
Talon is shaking my shoulder. I am lying across the middle seat in the van.
“Ugh.” I grab my head.
“What did you see?” He asks as he helps prop me up in the seat.
“He rammed into her in a late model pickup truck. He is the same guy the girls described. He leaned in and covered her mouth with a cloth. She tried to fight him, but the chloroform kicked in too quickly. Another guy showed up and touched the door to take her. He paid the bald man, and asked if she was a virgin. He keeps saying “The customer wants a virgin”. I swallow hard.
“They are planning to sell her for her virginity.” I shudder. There are some sick fucks in this world. Talon curses. We are both quiet as we wait for the others. James and Hope climb in, and I tell him what I saw. I describe the second guy. Hope types the info into her tablet.
“Is this the second guy?” She shows me a picture.
“Yes, that's him. Who is he?” I ask her.
“A Russian by the name of Alexander. He is known in the skin trade. If he's working with these kidnappers, then this just went from bad to worse.” My friend is out there in this shit.
“We'll find her.” I wish I was as positive. We hear an anguished cry and we all take off in that direction. I am moving slow from using my gift. I run after them and see Forest on his knees by the trees. His hands holding his head.
“Forest, What is the matter?” Dagger crouches in front of him.
“She is my One.” That gets all of our attention. Shit. I would be going nuts right now.
“A raccoon saw the entire thing. I watched them take my One.” He looks up at me with desolate eyes.
“What did you see?” he asks. I repeat what I saw and heard.
“They plan to sell her virginity? My One?” He curls into a ball and Talon lifts him up to carry him back to his car.
“No, put me down. I have to keep talking to the animals. One is bound to have seen where they went.” He pushes free of Talon and runs into the forest.
“I will stay with him.” Talon says. The rest of us go back to the van and wait. It is hours later that Aaron gets a call from Talon. They are going to keep looking and want us to go back to the office. He will call if they find anything. James and Hope promise to let us know if they find anything after they leave. I just want to get back to my woman. I need her healing touch and calming presence.
Chapter 10.
I am a nervous wreck. The other women probably think I'm a loon, until I notice they are just as bad as I am. We try to keep each other busy at first. They even give me their books and offer me a job as an accountant. I work on the accounts for an hour before giving up. The numbers blur as I worry. My lips are swollen and red from chewing on them. My stomach hurts and a throbbing has started behind my eyes. I hear Ashley exclaim and run over to the glass doors and see the guys getting out of the van.
I pull open the door and start running toward him. I can't help myself. I need to be near him. He sees me coming and meets me half way. I throw myself into his arms and he lifts me, wrapping my legs around him. He pulls my head down and kisses me with so much passion my toes curl. I moan as I suck his tongue into my mouth. I don't even realize he has continued walking until he pulls the door open. As soon as the door opens we hear cheering. I pull away and look around and they are all looking at us.
“That was one hell of a welcome home.” Dagger says. I bury my head in his neck.
“Jealous fucks.” Graham says as he walks me into another room. He sits me on a desk. I look around.
“Is this your office?” I look around. It looks like it is not being used.
“Yours from what I hear. You're our new accountant.” He smiles down at me. Wow, word travels fast in this family.
“Speaking of which, you need to pick up your phone charger while we pack you up tonight. I wanted to hear your voice while we waited and I couldn't call you.” Aw how sweet. Wait a minute...
“While we are packing?” My eyebrows shoot up.
“Yes, I can't be without you. I thought after last night and wanting my baby, it was only reasonable that you would move in with me.” He has a point but... My breathing and heart accelerates and a sharp pain hits me in the chest. My vision is blurring.
“Fuck.” I hear Graham yell as he pushes my head between my legs.
“Gage.” I hear Graham yelling. I feel a hand on my back as I try to calm my breathing.
“Anxiety attack.” Gage says as a warmth spreads through me and a calming sensation covers me. Wow. Whatever he just did is wonderful.
“What?” Graham ask
s.
“No more stress. Okay?” Gage says to Graham. I don't want him to think it's just the moving in thing. It is all of it. I feel like we are rushing into something that will destroy me if something happens. It has more to do with my insecurities.
“I'm okay Graham. I think it's just all the things grouped together. Of course I'll move in with you.” Gage laughs. I glare at him until he throws his hands up and walks out of the room.
“Graham, it isn't what is causing my anxiety.” I take a deep breath. How do I explain this?
“It's not moving in with you. It's the whole thing. I'm putting my heart out there for you again, and it's terrifying. I love you more now than I ever did, and yet, as much as you destroyed me then, well, I wouldn't survive it now.” He pulls me into him and rests his forehead against mine.
“I wouldn't survive you leaving me either. We are going to have to trust each other. I know I didn't give you many reasons to trust me before, but I am not that person anymore.” He pulls his wallet out and opens it and pulls something from inside. I almost fall over when I see that it's a ring.
“I bought this two years ago. I carry it with me to remind myself of what I lost. I want you to wear it now and know that I will always be completely faithful to you for the rest of my life. Marry me?” Tears are falling and don't even try to stop them.
“Yes.” I whisper with what little voice I have left. He looks shocked as he falls to his knees. I wrap my arms around his neck. Tears fall from his beautiful blue eyes and I know without a doubt that I made the right decision. This man will always love me. He slides the ring onto my finger and kisses it. I don't think it is possible to feel more cherished than I do in this moment. This is where I belong. He pulls me up.
“Let's go before I pull a Gage and take you in the office where everyone can hear you scream my name.” I lick my lips because that doesn't sound half bad. He growls.
“Move it.” I giggle, as he slaps my butt.
We get out into the entryway where everyone is still standing around.
“We're getting married.” Graham shouts to them all. Cheers raise and I am surrounded by congratulations. The ladies want to see the ring while the guys slap Graham on the back. Everybody stops when Aaron's phone starts ringing.
“Talon, did he find anything?” I can't hear the other side of the conversation.
“Okay we are on our way.” He hangs up and looks at us.
“He found a place where she had been kept for a short time, but it is empty now. Forest will not calm down. Talon is holding him by using air. He needs restraints so that he can get him to rest for the night.” He pauses.
“We may need to sedate him. Talon thinks they are so linked, that Forest is feeling what is happening to her.” We all gasp and fall silent. Poor Forest. I would take on this burden for him if I could. Forest has always had a sadness to him and I hate seeing him in more pain.
“Gage, I need you with me in case he hurts himself. The rest of you go home and rest while you can. If he is still bad tomorrow we will switch.” He pulls Sarah to him and kisses her as Gage does the same to Ashley.
“Why don't you girls have a slumber party at our house.” Gage says to Ashley. Ashley looks over at me.
“Would you like to come to a slumber party at my house?” That is so sweet that I am already included.
“Rain check for sure. I have to go back and check on my mom and I have to pack.” I tell her.
“If he gets called to help out, have him drop you by our place.” She gives me a hug before her and Sarah start planning.
“Hey, what about me?” Jenna says as she loops her arm around Sarah. They have been best friends since their freshman year of high school.
“You don't need an invite.” Sarah sticks her tongue out at her.
“I'll invite Beth too. Her man is in Baltimore through Thursday.” Ashley says. They move off to make plans and Gage follows Aaron out to the van. We wave at the others and take off for my house. I mean my mother's house. I will get used to it, eventually.
We get to my mom's house. Everything is eerily dark. It is unusual for my mother not to at least have one light on for me. The door is locked also. She never locks the door. I pull out my key. I hope she hasn't changed the locks in two years. The lock turns thank goodness. I get inside and turn on the entryway light when I hear a scream coming from my mothers room. I run back there and Graham is behind me.
I open my mom's door. I am not expecting to find what I find. Two naked bodies wrapped around each other. Her scream is still echoing in the room as the man groans and shouts her name. He is still thrusting into her as Graham pulls me out of the room and shuts the door. He is laughing, hard. I elbow him. I storm into my room and slam my door. He knocks.
“Come on, love. Open the door.” I open it and allow him in.
“What's the matter? Your mother is an adult.” He doesn't get it.
“That was my dad in there.” I point in the direction of the room.
“So? Most people would be happy that their parents are getting back together.”
“Most did not see their mother break down when he cheated on her. I did. I was the one to help her through it. He is a womanizer.” I scream at Graham even though this is not his fault.
“Is that what you really think?” My dad says from the door. He startles me.
“Sorry dad, but yes. You have a different woman every month.” I tell him.
“I told you why, before you left. I am still in love with your mother. I always will be. She wants to give us another try and I'm going to make damn sure she never regrets it.” He pulls me in for a hug.
“I will never hurt her again. I promise you.” He says as he kisses the top of my head.
“She saw you two working things out and she decided to try one more time, because life is too short not to give it your all.” I nod my head against him.
“Don't worry about us, sweetie. Your dad and I have talked everything through and we know what we're doing.” Mom comes in and wraps her arms around us both. I look up at Graham who is all smiles.
“I will be happy for you guys if you're happy for me.” I lift my hand and show them the ring on my finger. My mom hugs my tighter.
“I am so happy for both of you.” She says. Dad walks over to Graham.
“Hurt her again and we are going to have a problem.” Graham puts his hand out.
“I, like you, understand what it is like to be without her and I can never go back to that again. I promise to be everything she needs me to be.” My dad shakes his hand and slaps him on the back.
“We have a lot to celebrate. Come on. I bought some Champagne on my way in last night.” We follow him out of my room and into the living room.
We spend an hour sipping champagne and telling stories. Dad couldn't keep his hands off of mom and she keeps blushing. I have never seen either of them so happy. I hope for my mother's sake my father is serious about what he says. I have no doubt he loves her. I have always known that. I just hope he can keep it in his pants. I look over at Graham. I hope he can also. I know we were not together when it happened but he claims to have loved me then and that makes it just as bad.
My parents escape to my mom's room and Graham helps me pack up my clothing. There is not much to do since I have only been back a few days now. Wow, it has only been a few days. What a few days can do.
“Take me home.” I tell him. He smiles and kisses me one last time in my old room.
We get back to our house and he carries me up to our room. He slowly strips me as he touches everything he exposes. When I am completely naked. I take my time doing the same thing. I pull his shirt over his head and drop to my knees. I pop the top on his pants and slide the zipper down. I pull them and his boxers down, his prick pops free hitting me in the forehead. I giggle. I kiss the head. Graham curses as he grabs my hair. He doesn't pull it or try to lead me. For this, I am glad. This is my show now. I lick him from root to tip and blow on it. His cock jerks and
a bead of pearly liquid beads up out of the small slit in his tip. I collect it with the tip of my tongue. I roll it on my tongue enjoying my man's unique flavor. I suck the tip into my mouth. He moans loudly and lifts me up and away from my tasty treat. He pulls his pants the rest of the way off.
“Hands and knees on the bed.” He backs me into the bed and then helps me into the position he wants.
“I have dreamt of taking you like this. Your ass in the air, ready to be fucked by my cock.” I moan as I arch my back tilting my ass further in the air. He growls as he crawls on behind me. He shoves his face into my pussy. He licks me from clit to my perineum and then shoves his tongue into my channel. His nose is putting pressure on my puckered anus and his chin rubs against my clit. I moan and buck my hips, pressing my pussy further into his mouth.
I love it when he touches me intimately. It's as though nobody else exists and it's just the two of us. I push back adding even more pressure. I feel my body quickening with my impending release. I love how he knows just what to do to make me cum. How just the glide of a hand or kiss from his lips will make me wet with need. I had never been a needy person until now. Now I need him, him and no one else.
Just as I am about to explode he pulls away. I whimper as he rises above me and then he slams his cock into me. I cry out as my body stretches around him almost to the point of pain.
“Fuck.” He shouts and I feel him spasm inside of me.” Is he cumming? He groans as he thrusts a couple more times and stills.
“I'm sorry baby. Give me a minute and I will fuck you so good.” I make the muscles in my channel contract around him. He moans. I rotate my hips until he slaps my ass. I quiver around him.
“Oh baby, you like that don't you? Your little pussy just went very wet.” He slaps my ass again and I squeal as I get closer to cumming. He starts thrusting his hardening cock and it only takes three strokes and I am cumming. I shout out his name as I convulse around his cock. He keeps going as my legs twitch and I start to collapse.
