Chapter Twenty-one

It was the sound of her name being whispered on the wind that woke Saffron up. She looked around to find Xander in bed asleep, and still, she could hear her name. The compulsion to follow was great, gritting her teeth she tried to resist realizing she could overcome it. That was the reason she climbed out of bed and dressed. She needed to know who was calling her. She crept through the house and out the front door only to find Sage standing on the porch.

“Sage,” Saffron called her name, wondering why she didn’t respond. “Answer me damn it, Sage,” she screamed her name and shook her by the arm.

Sage turned around and punched her in the eye. Saffron backed up a few steps with her hand over the side of her face. They had just met each other, and now they were going to fight? Sage took a step down the stairs making Saffron jump on her.

“I don’t know where you think you’re going, but I’m not letting you go. And this,” she hit her in the jaw. “Is for hitting me in the eye.”

They rolled down the steps until they hit the concrete at the bottom. Saffron could feel her heart laboring. Darn heart it was always going to give her trouble. Sage tried to shake her off making Saffron lock her legs around her.

“Wake up Sage,” she screamed. She rolled her over to her back and sat on her feeling like the queen of the mountain until Sage punched her in the chest bringing tears of pain to her.

“Damn you Sage wake the hell up. You had everything, including our mother. You don’t get to walk out on me like I don’t mean anything.” She took her by the shoulders and pounded her into the ground.

Caden went to jump off the steps, but Xander knocked him down. They began to fight.

“Wake the hell up!” She slapped her repeatedly in the face until Sage grabbed her hand.

Sage looked around her the males were fighting, and Saffron was losing it. Reaching up she put her arms around her sister and held tight. When their parents split, they probably didn’t know who would suffer the most. It was Saffron. They no longer needed anyone to tell them who was the oldest, Saffron was. As the older twin, she felt everything.

“I’m sorry sister; I'm sorry,” Sage cried. Tears she couldn’t hide came to her eyes, and they cried together.

“That was uncalled for.”

“No, it wasn’t.” She tried to dry Saffron’s tears while Saffron was trying to dry hers. Finally, they laid on the ground and just hugged each other tight.

“I thought I was going to die when Richard shot you. It felt like someone was tearing my heart out, but I didn’t know why. I didn’t remember you Saffron, but I felt you. I’m sorry for what you went through.”

“There were times when I thought I was going crazy. There was another person’s feelings and emotions inside of me, but I couldn’t talk about it. The professionals wanted to hospitalize me, and Dad was just so sad because he couldn’t help. Growing up wasn’t easy, but we’re together now.”

“Do you forgive me?”

“There’s nothing to forgive. I was reminded earlier in the day that the oldest twin does whatever it takes to look out for the youngest. I think the guys have stopped fighting.”

They looked over at them. At least, they managed to stay on the porch instead of becoming one with the concrete.

“Next time let’s take this to the grass.”

“I hope there is no next time.” Sage was touching her face and working her jaw.

“There will be a next time. We need gym memberships with mats and those bats that are soft.”

“I second that.”

Caden walked over and helped Sage stand.

“I think you broke me.”

“You’ll be alright.”

She took Xander’s hand and stood. She could feel the aches and pain throughout her body. Carefully she kept her hand away from her chest which was throbbing.

“What happened to you, Sage?”

“I’m not sure. I heard my name, and I couldn’t fight whatever was pulling me. How did you know I was out here?”

“I didn’t. Whatever was calling to you was calling to me, but I could ignore it. That’s why I came out. I figured it couldn’t hurt me.”

Xander put his hand on her back and started maneuvering her to the door. Caden did the same with Sage, and soon they were seated in the living room.

“Can we go buy furniture tomorrow?” It was random, but she wanted to see the living room looking nice, and since it was a shared space, they should do it together.

“I love that idea, Saffron.”

Xander and Caden looked at each other and shook their heads. “Sounds good to us,” Xander spoke for both of them.

“What next?”

“We will be more diligent since the two of you are being woken up most likely by the shadows. Love, you are walking in your sleep. That won’t happen again.” Caden told her.

“He will probably try something different next time.” It was Richard it had to be. As much as she hated the thought, he was just proving he was nowhere near done.

“Let’s call it a night, we can talk about it in the morning,” Xander said looking around to see if the others agreed.

They nodded and headed for their bedrooms.

Saffron waited for Xander to close the door before she began to disrobe.

“He’s crazy. Do you think he has always been this way or did it happen after he met these shadows?” Xander was watching her breasts that were swinging as she bent to take off her pants.

“Hard to tell wild cat. All I know is that he is too far gone to be saved now.”

“Why are you still dressed?” She frowned wondering what was wrong.

“How is your heart?”

“I’m okay; I promise.” Her voice was soft, but then she looked at his clothes frowning.

“I’m undressing know. It’s such a pleasure to watch you undress and know that you’re doing it for me.”

“Always for you love. Lay down.”

He laid on the bed looking like a banquet his thick dick was raised for the occasion. The muscles in his arms and chest were tempting her, and all she wanted to do was suck him down and then do it again.

“Put your hands behind your head and keep them there. Understand?” Her voice was husky, and her pussy was weeping.

He raised his hands slowly as if he were teasing her before he linked them behind his head.

“Now what wild cat?”

Now she got to play. She crawled on the bed and sat on top of him. Her wet pussy was throbbing against the heat of his skin. It would only take a few well-placed moves to find herself in Nirvana. She ignored the hunger that was eating her up inside and leaned over enough to kiss him.

Her tongue forced its way into his mouth. She was the one in control, the conquering queen who was demanding what she wanted. Their tongues dueled as she nibbled on it and sucked taking in his flavor along with his scent. Her head felt light, but she refused to stop. Tonight, she was going to gorge herself on the only thing she wanted.

She kissed him deeply until she couldn’t take another sip of the nectar he was offering. Her lips slid to his cheek kissing him there she traveled down to his throat. She bit him like he bit her when he claimed her. His hips punched up in the air as a jagged sound came from his lips. She traced the small bite with her tongue before she moved on.

Her lips moved down to his chest dragging her hands behind them. She licked over the flatness of his chest where his nipples should have been raised but weren’t. She blew on them before nipping at one. His gravelly voice was back the one that was connected to her pussy. It made her want to mount him and ride like the wind.

“I want to be deep inside of you.”

She wanted that too, but she still hadn’t tasted him, and that was something she couldn’t put off another minute. She kissed down his hard pecs until she got to his midsection. His abs shouted alien as she looked for the belly button that wasn’t there. She laid her head down for a minute acknowledging that he wasn’t human and she still loved him.

She gave him a kiss where his belly button should have been and moved downward. His breathing was increasing because he knew what she wanted. One quick look told her everything she needed to know. He wanted this, but his eyes said it was hard for him to believe that she would do it.

“Silly man,” she said softly as her hand went down to cup him, and her mouth kissed the root of his dick. Her tongue came out to lick him, and she groaned.

“You taste good.” She licked up to the tip. There was a bead of cum on his dick, it was slightly metallic looking. She licked her lips before she took it in her mouth. It was sweet and salty at the same time. The perfect treat that added no weight unless of course it was placed somewhere else that was longing and begging for a taste of him as well.

“You’re teasing me.”

Damn right she was teasing him and enjoying every moment. She watched as his arms tightened in a move to keep them where she told him to.

“Such a good warrior. You deserve a treat.” She took the tip of his dick into her mouth and sucked hard. His hips punched up, and he started speaking in a language she never heard before. The cadence of his voice made her want to smile, but she was much too busy.

She placed her hand over his dick stroking him up and down as she tried to take him deeper into her throat. His hips kept punching up even as a fine sheen covered his brow. Did he sweat she had never seen him do it before? She took him deeper feeling his thick dick past her tonsil.

“Shit,” he yelled trying not to push deeper.

She sucked on him wanting to know what he tasted like when he came. She backed away needing some air before she started to suck on him again.

“Come for me lover,” she said in a sing-song voice. She took him deep once again making sure her hand played with him tightening and loosening on his dick.

“I need to be in you wild cat.” It was as close to begging as he would come.

She wanted to taste him, but those eyes of his showed her his need. “Take your hands down, touch me.” She had just given him power over her. He could have flipped her over. Instead, he took her hair in his hand and gripped her head lowing her at the pace he wanted to go.

Damn, he tasted so good, and she was throbbing with need. She loved the feel of him in control. His hand moved down and pinched her nipple making her cry out around his dick. Her pussy convulsed on nothing but air then it told her off wanting to feel him deep inside.

When he laid her on her back, she was more than ready. Her legs spread of their own accord. He lowered his head and swiped at her wet pussy lips making her tremble in need. Now he was the one teasing; it felt so good she couldn’t complain. He slid a finger inside of her, and she whimpered wanting to beg for mercy as she bit her bottom lip to stay in control.

He pushed a second finger in breaking any control she had as she begged him to take her. His thick dick replaced his fingers pounding into her.

She spasmed around him trying to keep him deep within. He withdrew and dived back in. He pounded her, and she rode every incredible wave weaving its way through her body.

Her legs went around him as her fingers slid over his back making patterns he could feel.

“Xander,” she screamed as he hit that spot that made her back bow, and her legs shake from weakness. An orgasm rolled over her taking all thought away as she clung on trying to keep up with him. He continued to pound her as the first one ended and a second one started. Her fingers went to her nipples pinching them. This one was stronger than the first one.

His voice came out again in a language she couldn’t understand, but she knew what that meant. She tightened against him making him work for what he wanted until he yelled. His body was above hers stiff until he joined her free floating in a pool of passion neither knew existed.

He gave her a tender kiss before his body slumped against hers.
