I notice a girl in the corner scream, I look over. Thankfully Collin's back is to me. Unfortunately, what I see will give me nightmares for years. A man is raping a woman. I feel bile rise in my throat. I face forward and try to remain calm. I repeat the words Faith taught me and reach. thankfully, for the calm that washes over me.
“Get the fuck out of my merchandise. I am docking a hundred dollars. That is how much you pay a whore and she is far better quality. He shouts at the man. The guy groans like he is finishing anyway. I hate these monsters. Please let me survive this or Talon will never forgive himself. The two men come over toward us and stops in front of Collin. Collin pulls out a gun and shoots them both in the head. I nearly scream as I see the blood and brain matter spray the walls and the woman behind them.
I wish I could close my eyes. I wish I had never agreed to this. I feel all kinds of foolish that I didn't listen to Talon. Collin pulls his phone out and makes a call. It is clear who it is within moments.
“Aaron, how are you?” I can hear Aaron's angry voice.
“Oh are you missing something?” He turns and looks at Sarah.
“She is quite beautiful. Such unusual eye color. I bet these babies will fetch a good price.” I hear Aaron cursing. The usual calm the man has is out the window when it comes to Sarah.
“I might be willing to part with her and Talon's One, if you bring me Alexander Babikov.” Aaron's voice is not loud anymore as he agrees to an exchange.
“Bring him to the old warehouse on Grant street and please bring all of your brothers.” What the hell is he playing at. Why would he want that many Psions in a room. He is either overly confident or completely off his rocker. I believe it is the latter. He hangs up the phone and turns to us.
“Over by the other girls.” We move over by the girls. My feet squish as I walk but I do not dare look down. I am almost positive that I know what it is and it would only make me scream or vomit. Neither is a good choice right now.
“Alright girls, all in a line and face the front door. When the men walk through.” He pauses and starts handing each of us a pistol.
“You will put the pistol to your head.” God damn it. My heart is racing now.
“When I say 'go' you will turn the guns and shoot all of the men in front of you.” No, no, no. I can't let them do it. They can't kill Talon. I will die slowly and painfully if anything happens to the love of my life. I feel Sarah flinch slightly. I am the only one who noticed thankfully. It has upset her too. She starts panting. Shit. Please do not have her be going into premature labor.
Chapter 9.
I am pacing the room in the station. Everyone is making sure to give me a wide birth. I am in no fucking mood to deal with any shit. Aaron comes rushing in to the room looking pale and shaking visibly.
“They took Sarah.” He shouts. What the fuck. I stop in my tracks and look at my oldest brother. I have never seen him so shaken.
“What happened?” James asks. Thank fuck he is still thinking on his feet. I know Aaron and I are practically useless right now.
“We were trying on maternity clothes. I was sitting in the mirrored waiting room while she tried on a dress. She never came out. I searched the entire mall for her. I even had the security officers pull up their camera feeds for that area. There was nothing. It's as though she vanished in this air.” He grabs a handful of his hair and looks around frantically. Fuck. This has gone from bad to worse.
“We have movement with Natalie.” Dagger says as he looks up from the screen of his laptop.
“They are moving in this direction, oddly enough.” Fuck. I hope she is alright, if he so much as makes her stub her toe, he will suffer before he dies. Wind is whirling around me. I try to calm myself down, but it is no use.
“Calm yourself brother or you need to leave the station. We need to have our systems working and you're close to knocking them over.” Fuck. I breathe in and count to ten before I release it.
“They have stopped. Two blocks from here. Let's go.” We walk out and all climb into the van. We stop a block away and see them as they enter an abandoned warehouse. We move in, hugging the walls and staying in shadows. I move the sound away so that we are not heard. If this goes south this will be my last day alive. I will not make the choice Collin made. I will choose to die the honorable way. I will go up to the top floor and walk off the edge. I will not make my brothers have to hunt me like I was nothing more than a animal. No.
Two gunshots sound and I start to move without thinking. Ethan glares at me as he uses air to hold me and Aaron back. I want to laugh because if I chose to I could break his hold easily. I don't though. I know why he is doing it. I swallow hard on my fear and relax against the wall again. I grab Aaron and hold him against me. Thankfully he stops struggling and starts to relax. I have air pull Collin's voice to us so we hear everything being said.
Aaron phone starts ringing. I make it to where the sound stays in just a bubble around us and then give him a nod. He answers.
“Yes.” He answers gruffly. We can hear Collin but we can't make out what is being said.
“How do you think I am you sick fuck.” He shouts into the phone.
“You know very well that I am. You better not have touched one hair on her head or I swear to all the gods you will beg for death before I kill you.” He is sweating and you can see his eye starting to twitch. I have never seen Aaron so angry before.
“Those babies will never know you even existed. You will only be a stain on the floor.” Shit, he said something about the babies Sarah is carrying. We need to end this quickly. Fuck, holding the secret of how powerful I am. What's the point in all of this power if I can't save the ones my brother and I love most in this world.
“Oh we will be there.” He shuts his phone and tells us that he wants all of us here. He is setting a trap. Not that I am at all surprised. I pull Collin's voice toward us again and hear him tell the women that they are to shoot us when he says go. I knew he was going to pull something like this. I only hope that Nat and Sarah know not to so much as flinch.
Fuck this. I whisper to the air and tell it what I want. I pull all of my energy and push air in to the building. I am seeking all of the weapons. I grab all of the guns from the women and the one on Collin as I raise my hand in the air. I yank the air back, like pulling a string. We hear glass shatter and a second later guns clatter on the ground around us. They are all looking at me with their mouths hanging open.
“Let's go.” I am a little weak from exerting so much energy. We can hear him cursing and scrambling around. This is when he is the most dangerous, when he feels he has nothing left to lose. I am running by the time we crash through the door. Sarah races into Aaron's arms. My blood chills at the scene before me. I wish I could say that I didn't even flinch but that would be a lie. I put my hands up and hold my brothers back.
Chapter 10.
I grab Sarah's hand for only a moment and give it a squeeze, letting her know I am here with her and that I will never let anything happen to her. Her breathing is labored and I am really starting to think she is going in to labor. This can't be happening. I let go of her hand and look around as best I can without giving myself away. There is only one exit except the stairs and the stairs aren't feasible. There is no way Sarah would be able to tolerate running up stairs. No, there is only one exit, when the time comes.
The other girls are staring ahead completely oblivious to what is happening. Even the girl who had been raped. That poor woman. I can't imagine what she will be going through when this is all over. I hope that we all survive. I peak over at Sarah again. Her fist is clinched and she is panting. Fuck, the charade is going to be up soon. There is no way he isn't going to notice her panting.
I am about to do something incredibly stupid, when a gust of wind hits me full force, yanking the weapon form my hand. Shit, now I have no damn weapon. I look over and notice that he has pulled every gun there is from all of us standing including Collin. At least that evens the pla
ying field some.
I look over at the entrance as guns fly through the glass in the door spraying shards in their wake.
“Run!” I yell to Sarah who takes off for the doors. I run and slip in something slimy and land on my ass next to a dead body. Oh shit. He forgot a gun. I throw my self across the rapists prone body, but I am not fast enough. I feel the cold metal against my temple. Shit. Why do I have to be short?
“How come you're not under my control?” He yells in my ear. I flinch. I had very good hearing.
“Answer me cunt.” He shakes me. That's when I hear the voice that I love most.
“Let her go, Collin. Your fight is with us.” Talon says loudly over the women's screams.
“It would never have been a fight if you fucks could mind your own damn business.” Collin says. Talon shakes his head.
“You know that isn't how Psions are. The old you would have done something too.” He is trying to reason with him. He doesn't realize there is no reasoning with him now. The man is completely lost.
“Say goodbye to your One, Talon.” He says to Talon. Talon's eyes widen. I know that my time is close to an end if I don't do something now.
I remember this time while I was in college and all of us girls from the same dorm decided to take a self defense class. I remember one move specifically. It is called SING. Solar plexus, instep, nose and then groin. I am short so the nose and solar plexus is not an option, but the other two just might work.
I look over at Talon and move my lips, silently telling him I love him. He looks scared for a second, but I turn my attention away from him and take a deep breath.
You know how they say when something important happens it always seems like time slows down. That is what it feels like to me from the moment I turn my attention away from Talon. Time slows down. It's as though I can feel and count each heart beat. I swallow hard and hear the audible click in my throat as I pull my leg up nearly to my chest.
I bring it down on his foot as hard as I can and then swing my elbow back hitting him in the balls. He hunches over and I am in the air. Is this what it is like to die? Am I flying into heaven. I look up at the dingy ceiling and watch as it gets closer. Then I am moving sideways. What the.... I look at the direction I am heading. Right into Talon's arms. I smile. If this is heaven I like it a lot.
“Don't ever scare me like that again, little bit.” He growls as he kisses me. He feels so good. I almost get lost in his kiss, until I hear a man yelling profanities. I pull away and look over at where a man is suspended in the air. My man kicks ass.
“Don't get on her too much. If it weren't for her I wouldn't have been able to yank the gun out of his hand and you able to get her away from him.” Aaron says as he holds Sarah in his arms. She is still panting, has anyone even noticed.
“What's the matter, baby?” Aaron asks just before I open my mouth.
“Hurt. I think the babies are trying to come early.” Aaron pales as he carries his wife over to Gage. He hands her to him and Gage lays her down and touches her belly. Aaron backs away and walks over to Collin.
“Let him go.” Aaron says. Talon does. The man falls to the ground and I cringe when I hear the audible snap of his leg. That's got to hurt. Sure enough, he starts howling. Aaron walks over to Collin and grabs his head and twists, until it pops, sounding nearly as loud as a gunshot. Collin goes limp. His eyes are still open and unseeing. Aaron leans down and closes them with his fingers.
I knew they were going to have to kill him. I just thought it would be with a gun or some other weapon. For some reason this seemed so much worse. I tuck my face in to Talon's neck. He holds me to him and kisses the top of my head. I am so glad that all of Talon's brothers and sister have found their Ones. I would hate for him to go through that with a brother. I am not sure he would survive. Now, we just have to keep them all healthy.
I look over at Sarah who seems to be breathing normally now. I watch as Gage pulls back and looks at Aaron.
“The babies are fine and I was able to stop the labor. She needs to be on bed rest for a couple of week at least. No more stress what so ever. You need to become her servant for anything she may need. No sex for the next couple of weeks either. I will check her again two weeks and let you know if you have a green light again.” Gage tells Aaron. Who falls to his knees beside his One. He scoops her up and carries her out of the warehouse.
“Everyone go with Aaron. I will wait here with the women until James gets here and the ambulances arrive.” Ethan says. We all nod our head and follow Aaron out and to the van. Dagger hops into the drivers seat.
“First stop is Aaron's house, second is Talon's. We will bring your car and truck to you tonight.” Dagger says as he starts the engine and we pull away from the curb. I fall asleep peacefully in Talon's arms.
“Little bit, wake up.” I hear him calling. I yawn and stretch in his arms.
“Come on baby, let's take a shower or you will never forgive me for ruining the set of sheets on our bed.” I open my eyes and look down at myself and see that I am covered in blood and god knows what else. I nod my head and he sets me down. I let him pull the clothes off of me without saying anything. I am completely drained emotionally.
He turns on the water and starts taking off his own clothes. I follow his movements with my eyes as desire pools low in my belly. He is a gorgeous man. All bulging muscles and rippled belly. I want nothing more than to lick him all over. I lick my lips and imagine them on him. He groans and pulls me into him.
“You are looking at me like you want to eat me.” He says as he pulls me into the shower. Oh yes, I was definitely thinking of sampling every dip and hollow on his body and as defined as he is, I was going to be at it for a long while.
He grabs the soap and starts to lather me up. I do not look down at the now pink bubbles. I do not want to be sick. I swallow hard and just concentrate on him and what I plan on doing to him when we are both clean. He turns me and does my backside. Either he has three hands or he is hard and poking me in the rear-end. When he is finished, I step in to the spray and rinse myself as he start washing my hair. It feels so good having him rub my scalp.
He turns me around again to where I am facing him again and backs me in to the spray to rinse my hair out. As soon as I am clean he pulls me to him and takes my mouth with his. I moan and press myself more fully into him, sandwiching his giant prick between us.
I grab it and slide my hand down it. He breathes in sharply and thrust his hips forward, sliding through my hand. I climb him and wrap my legs around him until his cock is lined up perfectly with my entrance.
“Take me Talon. Remind me that I am alive.” I push down on him as he thrusts up. We both moan when he is fully sheathed. Neither of us move as we stare into each others eyes. I see his love for me. I know that I will never love another. Talon is my One just as I am his.
He growls as he pulls out almost all of the way before slowly sliding back in. I grip his arms and move with him as our bodies heat and our hearts beat as one. This is what life is about, right here. It is love. I grind against him and enjoy the way my clit rubs against him. He feels so damn good. I start mewling as I slide up and down his large pole.
“You feel so good.” I tell him.
“Fuck.” He says as he pushes my back in to the wall and let's go. He starts hammering into me and I love every thrust. I feel my walls tighten around him as I start to fall. I scream as my orgasm hits me. My body pulses and I bite his chest.
He growls my name. It is so sexy that it spikes my orgasm in intensity. He loses rhythm and shouts my name as I feel his warm cum pouring into me. His hips jerk and growls some more as I drain him to the last drop.
This is what our life will always be like together. Intense, passionate and most of all full of love. I know what it is to be a Psions One. It is to be his everything. I can do that. He is already my everything.
Epilogue
It has been a year and a half since the day I imprinted with Nat and I rea
lized I would get to keep her for the rest of my life. I have never been happier. We had our first son nine months ago. He looks just like me though he has his mother's pale blue eyes. He is going to be a lady killer. He was born ten pounds four ounces and he has continued to be in the ninety percentile in height and weight. Poor Nat wasn't able to deliver him naturally because he was so large. She says no more after the difficulty she had.
I laugh thinking about the arguments we had about it. I won again by hiding her pills this time. She doesn't know it but I am pretty sure she is pregnant again. She is going to be pissed at me. I grin to myself. We have the absolute best sex when she is mad. I look forward to it.
I walk in to the backyard. Today is my mother's birthday and we are having a barbecue. A lot of Psions are out visiting because Jenna is pregnant with twin girls and already has a daughter who is only a few days older than our little Thorn. Yes I was the one who named him. I like it. Nat scoffs and tells him to blame me when he is older and upset from kids at school picking on him.
Ashley had our first girl who is a little over a year old. Sadie, is a beautiful and sweet little girl. We all just adore her. Gage is over protective and we all laugh at him. I make fun of him some but Dagger really enjoys going at him. Dagger has a boy and a girl due any day now. If I had to guess,I would say in the next day or two. His little boy Thomas is quite a little handful. He came in to this world screaming and he is still the noisiest of the bunch.
My mother is in heaven with all the little ones running around. She is lucky we have Aaron and Sarah's twin boys. They will be a year old in a few days. They came a little early, but for twins it was normal. They are absolutely beautiful. Gabriel and Jacob, are a perfect mixture of Aaron and Sarah. They both have her soft, light purple eyes, which in contrast to their olive complexion is stunning. They are waiting before having more. Sarah had a hard time and Aaron is so protective, it's for the better.
