“Why isn't he waking?” I ask.
“I gave him the suggestion that he needed to sleep.” My girl has skills. I smile.
“That's a handy gift.” Graham says. I almost laugh. If it we had been anywhere else and not in this situation, I would have.
“Hope I don't think you or James should pick up your car today. Let's head to my place.” I tell them. I know Hope is probably not wanting to go to James's apartment. Not that I blame her. It looks like we will have house guests. It is a good thing our rooms are on opposite sides of the house. I am not waiting to claim my One. I look over at her. Hell no, I am only waiting a few more hours or until I know James is going to be alright.
We get back to my house and it is only noon. Though it feels as if it should be dark out. I am exhausted and I know James is going to need a blood transfusion. I help Graham carry James in and into the spare bedroom. Actually I had originally had it built this way so that James could live with me. That is why they are far apart. He said no, he wouldn't want to get in the way of my One when I find her. I know it was a fear of his that I would put him aside for her. Now I know we were destined to share our lives closely. I bet the girls will want to be close also. I will have to talk to him about it when things settle.
We lay him down and I run around looking for my medical supplies. I gather the needles and tubing needed to transfuse blood.
Gage showed all of us how to do this just in case it was ever needed. I am glad he did.
I get James set up and then slide the needle into my vein.
“Monitor the amount going in please.” I ask Hope. She nods. She looks so pale yet strong. James has a good One.
“You should have probably told him you are a twin. He saw me kissing Faith and thought it was you.” I tell her.
“I never even thought about it. I am so used to all Psions knowing about us. I guess I just assumed.” She swallows hard and takes James's hand. Good. These two need to learn how to communicate.
“He loves you or is close to it anyway. I have never seen him as devastated as he was last night. He doesn't understand that you don't treat a Psion the way he did. Please give him another chance.” I ask her. She gives me a stiff nod. It is more than I can ask for, right now.
When James has enough, I go back downstairs. Graham is on the phone with Gage. Faith and Kristen are talking quietly to each other. Faith smiles shyly at me when she sees me. Gods, I would love nothing more than to take her to my bedroom and fuck the shit out of her. Later. I tell myself. She is so beautiful and sweet. Fuck. Now my dick is hard. I shift uncomfortably. Graham sits his phone down and looks at me.
“You up to coming with me and see if anyone touched that bullet?” Graham asks me. I smile.
“Fuck yeah man. I need to do something.” I run my fingers through my hair as I breathe out my frustration. I follow Graham outside. Jesus, his backseat is a mess with blood everywhere.
He digs into his trunk and pulls out a blanket and lays it across his seat so that he can lay down. I would have made fun of him for having a blanket in the backseat if I didn't know better, now. We all had thought he was the biggest player. We found out recently that it had been an act. He had not been with a woman in years.
Graham says something to Kristen and then he touches the bullet. Faith watches everything in rapt fascination. I wrap my arms around her from behind for just a moment to absorb some of her heat. She feels so good.
“I never asked you what your gift is.” She looks up at me. I smile down at her.
“I am a pyro.” I tell her and wiggle my eyebrows. In the Psion world a pyro, or a fire starter is considered the most energetic lover. I have no idea if that is true but I do have great stamina. She gasps and then starts laughing. I kiss the top of her head and move over to Graham who is unconscious.
“Graham.” Kristen says as she lays across him to wake him. Not a bad way to wake up in my opinion. When Graham is fully awake I lean down to see him.
“What did you see?” I ask him. He frowns and shakes his head sadly.
“Well, the good news is James is head over heels for Hope. The bad news, I know who Emma is to be given to.” Oh shit, it worked. He looks like he is about to faint again. Kristen places a hand on his cheek. He focuses back on me again.
“It's the fucking Chief, man.” I am stunned for a moment.
“Your kidding right?” He shakes his head. Holy fuck, the shit has hit the fan. Not that it wasn't crazy already. This is going to destroy James, whom always looked up to the man. I shake my head.
Chapter 7.
I open my eyes slowly. I feel completely hung over. I wonder what woman I am going to have to get rid of this morning. Woman.. wait a minute. There is only one woman for me. That is when the events of the day come back to me. I open my eyes and look around.
“HOPE!” I shout as well as I can. I feel as if I swallowed a litter box, shit and all. I sit up and wince when a line in my arm catches on the bed.
“I'm here.” She steps in next to me and takes my hand. She puts a glass of water to my lips and I take a long drink. She sets it back down on the side table. I lay back again and sigh with relief. I thought I would wake up and she would be gone. I have done nothing, but fuck things up since I have met her. She leans forward and kisses me softly on the lips. I try to pull her in to deepen the kiss. I end up hissing when the I.V gets caught in her hair this time.
“Do I still need this in my arm?” I ask her.
“Yes, when Jenna gets here she is going to donate some blood to you.” I smile and pull her back down for a kiss again. Someone clears their throat. Mother fucking cock block. I look over and glare at Dagger. He holds his hands up.
“Hey, I thought you might want to know what Graham picked up from the bullet we got out of your leg.” Oh yeah, I sure do. He has my attention now. I wave my hand for him to continue.
“It's the chief.” Hope says before Dagger even opens his mouth. He looks stunned.
“I was reading his thoughts all day today. He was thinking of different ways to take me out. James must have gotten in the way of the shot. I was sidetracked when I saw James. I should have been more cautious.” She says, looking at me with narrowed eyes. I deserve that.
“Why didn't you tell me you were a twin. I would never have punched my brother if I had known. I also wouldn't have doubted you.” I narrow my eyes back at her.
“Actually if you hadn't knocked me out Gage wouldn't have been close enough to save your life. So we can all beat ourselves up or move on.” Dagger says. I growl, I hate it when he's right. I look over at him.
“I am sorry I hit you man.” He cocks his head to the side.
“I would have done the same to you if the situation was reversed.” He shrugs. That's my brother. Always the bigger man. I love him. I love my entire adopted family. That thought reminds me of the situation we are in. I can't believe the chief would do this. It seems like just yesterday he was helping find my feet on the police force.
“The Chief has been a roll model to me for years. How can he do this?” Dagger steps up to the bed.
“It gets worse. I don't know if Hope picked this up but he is the one Emma is to be given to, in exchange for looking the other way. He is the one who requested a virgin.” Dagger finishes and I feel sick. What the hell is happening around here.
“His wife is his high school sweetheart. They have been in love for over twenty years.” I say. I feel like I have fallen down a rabbit hole. His wife is the sweetest woman I know. She loves to bake me brownies. She doesn't deserve this shit.
“Oh, that is all an act. He has been sleeping with Penny the dispatcher for years.” Hope says and pauses for a moment.
“I assumed he was thinking of her, but now it makes more sense. He was talking about her being.... I am not repeating his disgusting monologue. It's happening tomorrow. He was thinking about what needed to be done before he can have her.” I sit back up. Damn line got caught again. I am about to yank the damn thing
out, when Jenna walks in.
“I missed all the fun.” She pouts as she comes over and hugs Hope. She walks over and flops down in the chair on the other side of the bed near the hand with the I.V.
“Alright, let's get this party started.” She says as she rolls up her sleeve. I know she is making light of the situation for me. I always adored Jenna as if she were my sister before I knew I had a sister. She can always put a smile on my face when no one else could. I am grateful she is helping alleviate some tension in the room.
Kristen, Graham and Faith come into the room also. Dagger starts the transfusion again. I lay back and look at everyone but two keep drawing my eye back to them. Now that I know they are twins I can tell them apart. I just wish I had known that this morning. I feel all kinds of foolish right now.
“I am sorry about this morning.” I smile at Faith. She smiles back and I relax a little more.
“I think my sister was a little swept off her feet if she forgot to mention us being twins. We are kind of famous within the Psion community so we assumed all of you would know.” She shrugs. I look over at my brothers. They look stymied.
“I have never heard anything.” Graham says.
“I haven't either.” Dagger says.
“We are the only female twins born in hundreds of years and we are born to a father Psion and a mother who is human.” Jenna gasps in shock.
“Wow, I had no idea. I thought it was strange that you are twin girls. That is so cool.” Jenna says in awe. All of the Psions are looking at the girls strangely now. I shrug it off.
As soon as the transfusion is finished, Dagger removes the line. I sigh in relief. I have always hated those fuckers. It reminds me of all the times I had visited the hospital as a child. Thank fuck I didn't wake up in the hospital. It has been nearly ten years since I had a panic attack. I would like to keep it that way.
“I have to get going. They are dropping Forest off with us tonight.” Graham says as he walks out of the room with Kristen hand and hand. I am so glad he was able to work things out with her.
“Oh fuck! We need to call the others and tell them what we have found out. Forest needs to have the chief followed by a hawk or something. He will lead us to Emma. At least we will be giving him hope now.” Dagger says as he pulls his phone out and dials Talon. I hear them talking but I end up zoning them out when Hope sits down next to me.
I pull her down to where she is lying beside me. She snuggles into me turning my cock into a steel pike. I grab her pony-tale in my fist and pull. Her eyes glaze over with lust and she moans softly. I kiss the moan from her mouth. I hear the door closing and look up to see everyone has left the room. I pull her hair a little tighter and dip my tongue into her mouth. I allow myself a moment to enjoy her sweet flavor before pulling back and looking into her eyes.
“I am sorry about this morning and last night. I am new to this. Your going to have to grade me on a curve.” She smiles down at me.
“I never want to go back to that apartment.” Her smile turns into a frown and I don't like seeing that at all.
“Baby if you don't want to go there again, we won't. We can stay here until I can have a house built for us.” She smiles again. Thank fuck.
“Why don't we have one built big enough for all of us? I don't like being far from my sister.” I don't like being far from Dagger either. Originally he had this house built with me in mind to live in this room. That is why there are two wings on opposite sides of the house. I am the one who decided to get an apartment so that his family didn't happen upon my toys and learn of my proclivities.
“I will talk to Dagger about it.” I lay her head on my chest. I know I am about ready to pass out again and I want her near me.
“Don't leave me.” I tell her as my eyelids grow heavy.
“I am not leaving. I will be right here when you wake up.” She kisses me softly on the lips and a I sigh in relief that she is in my arms as I fall asleep. I probably fall asleep with a smile on my face.
Chapter 8.
I follow behind Dagger as he leads me around the house. He shows me where everything is. He has such a lovely home. I can see myself here. I know it will disappoint mum that we stay here, but this is where both of our Ones are and they both have careers they need to have. I am currently between projects so I am free to move. I am sure Hope will want to move here to be near James.
I worry about those two. I wonder if he even realizes yet that he loves her and that it is okay to love so quickly. That always seems to be the hang up with humans. They think love happens over time when it can happen in seconds for a Psion. The imprint ensures that. I would like to think that even without it I would have been drawn to Dagger.
He stops at the last door and I know it's his bedroom. My heart rate spikes as I think of what is going to happen. I know he wants it. Psions move quickly when they find their One. Even knowing that I am still fearful. I have never even kissed a boy until Dagger. I never wanted any kind of intimacy with anyone when I knew I could easily control their actions. I could even do it inadvertently.
Once when I was sixteen there was this girl who picked on me relentlessly. Molly Richard. Now I know it was out of jealousy, but then it just hurt. She would call me names and say mean things to me. I was standing in the halls when the captain of the football team stopped in front of Molly Richard. I knew he was planning to ask her out. I thought to myself, how funny would it be if he asked her if I would be interested in going to the dance with him. Just a thought and it actually happened. I accidentally placed the thought in his head. I knew she liked him and it was petty to even think it.
I felt so bad that I had caused such a thing to happen that I made him play it off as a joke and made myself look bad. After that it was a running joke to want to date me. Teenagers are cruel.
When I was in college whenever a guy asked me out I would say no but sometimes I would inadvertently send them away with an aversion to being around me. After that they would literally run from me. I actually thought it was funny at first but then when it was multiple guys running all over campus, it got old and hurtful. Even though it was my doing.
Dagger opens the door for me and waits for me to walk past him. I brush past him and what I see when I step inside makes my jaw drop. It is the bed I have been dreaming of. I even drew it a couple of times. I always thought that when I found my One I would buy this bed to share with him. It is a large California king four poster with a low hanging canopy of white translucent material. It is more breathtaking than I had imagined.
“I kept dreaming of this bed.” He shakes his head as he walks over to it.
“James even made fun of me when I described the bed I wanted. I just knew I needed it for my One.” I stare up at him as tears pool in my eyes. We are that connected that I was able to plant this bed in his head without even meeting him yet. I frown. I hope I have not been putting thoughts in his head.
“What's the matter?” He tilts my head back with his fingers under my chin.
“Did I place these thoughts in your head. I don't want you to be with me because I control you.” He shakes his head.
“You know fate doesn't work that way. Go ahead and try to make me do something I don't want to do.” I swallow hard. He doesn't understand what it is like to hate your gift. It is becoming increasingly difficult to control. I know a lot of that was not having him to ground me. I never want to doubt him. I never want to believe he is forced in any way. I could never live with myself.
I look him directly in the eye and push my thoughts at him. “You want to do the chicken dance. You do don't you.” I think over and over until he starts laughing.
“What?” I ask.
“Chicken dance? Really?” He laughs again and pulls me into him.
“I could hear you but that was all. Now do you believe me?” I breathe a sigh of relief. Never have I been so happy as I am in this moment. I start laughing with him because it feels good. It is healing and cathartic in a way nothing else c
ould have been. I lean into him as I catch my breath and he wraps his arms around me. It feels so right being in his arms. These are the arms I dreamed of holding me. Our future starts now. I am excited and a little fearful, but in a good way.
I look up into his eyes and all laughter ceases. He takes my mouth with his and thrusts his tongue between my lips. I moan as his tongue tangles with mine. He tastes so good. I know in this moment that I will always crave him and need to be with him.
He growls softly when my hands trace his chest and down his defined stomach. My man is definitely gorgeous. I can't wait to taste his skin.
“I need you.” He says as he pulls back enough to pull his shirt over his head. I lean in a swipe my tongue across his nipple. He does taste good. I moan as I go back for more. I lick a trail from one nipple to the other. He doesn't stop me so I become even more bold. I run my tongue down the ridge between his rows of abdominal muscles to his belly button. I stick my tongue inside of it and swirl it around. I notice that the top of his cock is now coming out of the top of his jeans. I lick the tip to gather the pearl of liquid at the top.
“Shit.” He shouts as a bunch of his pearly essence shoots out onto my chin. I pull back as more shoots out and falls to the floor. I look up at him as he moans and pants as more cum comes out. He is cumming. That's what is happening. Isn't he supposed to do that inside of me? Did I mess up somehow?
“I'm sorry.” I whisper as I look away from him. I can't believe I already messed this up. He pulls me up into his arms.
“Why are you sorry?” He is looking at me with concern.
“I am sorry I did that. I just wanted to know how you taste.” My cheeks are hot with my embarrassment.
“You did perfectly and me cumming like that is a good thing. It means I really liked what you did. I am the one who should be embarrassed. I am the one who came like a teenager.” He doesn't look embarrassed.
“Yeah right. You don't look like it. You seem pretty happy with yourself.” He smiles down at me.
“My One makes me cum with a swipe of her tongue. I am deliriously happy.” I smile.
