“Where to?” I ask as I open her door for her to climb in.
“The local office.” She says, before I shut the door. I climb in the other side. I have to know. I lean over and buckle her belt and pull it tight. Tighter than is necessary. Tight enough to give a little bite. If it hurts her I will apologize. She squeaks and then moans with a shudder. Holy shit! I am in trouble. I growl as she licks her lips. She knows now as she looks at me with those large piercing eyes. I know also. She is the submissive I have always dreamed of owning. I don't say anything else as I drive her to the local FBI office.
“There is no need to stick around. I am going to head to the hotel and unpack. Call if anything happens.” She hands me her card and I slip in into my pocket. I get out and get her luggage out for her. I can tell she wants space or I would demand that I carry her belongings for her. She is as blown away by our discovery as I am. I pull my card out and hand it to her.
“If you need me for anything.” I leave it at that. I am scared I will voice what everything entails. I am nearly to the precinct when I get a call.
“Brennan.”
“Got another girl missing.” Chief says.
“Give me the info.” The Chief tells me all that he knows. I turn around and head to the Windwalker building.
“Email me the file.” I tell him before hanging up. I call Aaron.
“Hey James. Please don't tell me there is another one?”
I sigh “Wish I could brother. I am on my way to you. Gather the troops.” I hang up as I pull into my parking spot near the front door. There are perks to being the detective assigned to them. I get inside and everyone is already gathering. I love how quick they all are. None of us want to be too late to help these women. It has been hell on all of us.
As soon as everyone is gathered I start relaying the information from the file sent to me. I should probably call Hope in on this. I am unsure how she would handle things if she finds out about their talents. I will always protect the Windwalkers first and foremost.
The next hour proves the girl was definitely taken and not from the bar. I wish for Graham's sake that he was not friends with her. Now it has become personal. I will do anything for my brothers. They may not be brothers of the blood, but they are definitely brothers of the heart. I send out an email to get a search going for her car. My phone starts ringing almost immediately. Wow that was fast. I step out of the room to answer.
“Just found the car, in the park, this morning. I will tape off the scene and send you my report.” Roberts says.
“Thank you Roberts. Was there any sign of a struggle?” I ask him.
“There is a fucked up fender that looks new, with no rust. It hangs a little and normally it would be pulled up with wire or removed so that it doesn't drag the ground. In my opinion it look like it was just done. No way someone would be driving around with it like this.” Well that answers several questions. Looks like we finally have another lead. I hang up with Roberts, but only after telling him not to bother sticking around. We will be there as soon as possible. I call Hope. Not because I am dying to see her again. Yeah right. I give her the address and wait out front for her. I hope that she at least had enough time to unpack.
Chapter 2. Hope
I never thought that getting the call that I need to get back to the U.S for a case, would be the best thing to happen to me. Luck would have it that I am going where I planned to visit soon anyway, so that I could visit the Windwalker family. The middle son is expecting a girl and I would like to be a part of the celebration. My sister Faith is flying in tomorrow. I just hope I am not working the entire time. I got the shock of a lifetime when my partner for this case is my One.
I have never been so happy. He is beautiful. Pale hair and skin with dark brown eyes. The contrast is striking. I follow the directions the GPS gives me. I pull up at the building and notice the sign on the door. What a coincidence, it is the Windwalker Investigation firm I have heard so much about. I can't wait to meet the famous family. Well, famous among all the Psions.
James is waiting for me at the door.
“This is the group we contract with on missing persons cases.” Noticing me staring up at the building. I nod my head and follow him inside. It is typical for a Psion to work with, or for the police. It is almost a compulsion we have to want to use our gifts for good.
I am a mind reader and it comes in handy when we do interrogations. I hear their inner voices and darkest desires. My sister is a thought projector. She can put thoughts and images in someones head. She can make someone think it is a good idea to sit in the middle of traffic if she wanted to. She wouldn't because she is a sweetheart.
She refuses to use her gift often. She says it feels as if she is taking away a person's freewill when she makes them think certain things. She accidentally made a grabby boy at school think his dick would fall off if he touched her again. He nearly killed himself to get away from her. Thankfully he was a good swimmer when he jumped off the bridge they were both on. She will use the image projector but not the thoughts.
He fills me in on everything as we walk into the conference room. I am so excited to meet this family. I would have said something but humans are in the room and I am unsure if James knows.
We interview the girls that were out at the bar that night along with Graham, individually to find out what they can remember from last night. These girls are hilarious and protective of one another. You can tell they have been a unit for a long time. I like that. Perhaps I will find friends like that out here.
I am pretty sure I will be moving here since my One is a very respected detective here. I can always work with the Windwalker family. It will be nice to use my talent without hiding it from everyone I work with.
When we have finished talking to the girls and they leave all eyes turn to me.
“You're a Psion?” The one at the head of the table asks.
“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 have been looking forward to meeting Ashley.” I look around until I see the girl with little bulge to her belly. She is carrying the first female Psion in a decade. James turns me to look at him.
“You're a Psion?” He doesn't look happy about it.
“I am so glad you know and I don't have to explain later. Yes, I am a Psion.” I look at him imploringly. I do not want him to turn his back on me. I can't change what I am. I am distracted when each of them starts introducing themselves to me. They are a lovely family.
“What is your gift?” Graham asks.
“I am a mind reader.” I answer.
“Fuck, have you been reading my mind?.” James asks. He looks a little freaked out at that and a little pissed.
“I can't read your mind. I almost thought you were one of us when we met because I couldn't hear your inner voice.” I knew as soon as he looked at me why that was. He is my One and the gods bless me by keeping his thoughts silent to me. I can drop my shields around him and relax.
“Thank Fuck.” He mumbles. Now I wish I could read his thoughts, for maybe just a second. I hope they are dirty thoughts. I smile. Ashley comes over to me. She is adorable. She and James look similar yet she is dark to his light. She smiles at me and I smile back.
“You heard I was having a girl, huh?” She asks with a giggle. She rubs her little belly and grins.
“Yes I did. We are all very excited. The first girl in a decade.” She beams at that news.
“We are excited too. Is James being nice to you? If he isn't I will kick his butt for you. He is my big brother but I can still kick his butt.” She says. I look over at James who is talking to Aaron.
“He is your One, isn't he?” She must have noticed the longing on my face.
“Yes, he is.”
“Who is what?” Gage asks as he throws his arms around his wife.
“James is her One.” Gage's eyes got big.
“Holy shit. Really?” I nod my head.
>
“What's going on?” James says as he walks up to us.
“Uh nothing. Just talking to Hope.” Gage says. James is about to say something to him when Forest talks for the first time.
“If she was taken in the park I am going to go talk to the animals.” He walks out without saying anything else. Everyone follows him with their eyes. You can see the concern in each of their faces.
“I will go and touch the handle of her car door and see if I pick up anything.” Graham says as he stands and sits his One on her feet. They are adorable together.
“Let's all go in case Forest gets something from the animals or Graham falls on his ass and needs to be carried or healed.” Talon says. Graham rolls his eyes and flips Talon off.
“Everyone to the van.” Aaron says.
“We will meet you guys there.” James says as he leads me out to his car. He opens the door for me again and buckles my belt. Again he pulls it so tight a moan slips out of my mouth before I can stop it. I do not have any sexual experience but I know when he is rough and forceful it turns me on. Most Psion women save themselves for their one. Me I never had sex because being able to read minds is a turn off. I kissed a guy once and he thought to himself, and of course I heard it, 'she is a good kisser but not as good as my step sister'. Or the date I went on where the guy thought of sex the entire time and not with me, but another guy. I gave up and decided waiting was best.
James growls.
“I ought to spank you for not telling me you are a Psion.” Again I moan and feel myself grow damp. Damn, now I get to walk around feeling squishy.
“You like to be spanked pretty girl.” I bite my lip hard and nod my head. I have never had it happen but the thought of this man bending me over his lap. Crap, My panties are ruined.
Chapter 3. James
“You like to get spanked pretty girl?” Fuck, why did I just ask that? She bites are sexy fucking lip and nods. My dick hardens more than ever before. I could hammer a spike through a board with it. Why am I torturing myself. She has a One out there somewhere. It would be hell to start something with her, only to have her meet her soul mate and leave me. Jesus, what has gotten in to me? I move away from her and go climb in the drivers side. I am pissed at myself for even flirting with her.
“Did I do something to make you angry?” She asks.
“No, I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at myself. I know Psions have a One and I shouldn't flirt with you.” Her eyebrows pull together as though she is confused.
“I don't understand.”
“You will meet your One someday. I don't want to get involved with someone who will someday leave me for another man.” She starts laughing. What the hell is she laughing about?
“You are my One silly. It's the reason I can't read you.” My heart starts racing and I pull over to the side of the road.
“Why didn't you say something already?” I grip the steering wheel tightly to keep from grabbing her.
“I only found out you knew about Psions ten minutes ago.” She has a point. I relax my grip and try to calm my breathing. I am her soul mate. I did have a strange first reaction to her. Was that the imprinting? It has to have been. I had never been at peace like I had then, for a short while. Well, until the lust kicked in. I have never felt lust like this either. If she told me now she wanted vanilla sex, I would do it and I never would have thought myself capable. That is some powerful shit.
Thankfully she seems to like kink. She wants me to spank her. Oh, god damn. My dreams have come true.
“I am spanking your ass as soon as we finish up for the day.” I tell her as I pull out into traffic. She moans and starts squirming in her seat. She likes the idea.
We get to the park and already Graham is passed out and Forest is nowhere to be seen.
“Do you know about their gifts?” I ask as we walk up to the van. I can hear Graham awakening and starting to talk.
“No.” She shakes her head as she tries to see into the van.
“Graham is Psychometric. He can touch an object and know it's complete history and things that happen surrounding the object. Handy with missing persons. Forest can talk to animals. That's where he is now, talking with any animal he can find.” She smiles.
“They have some cool gifts.” she says. I lead her over to van.
Graham looks at each of us.
“He rammed into her driving a late model pickup truck. He is the guy the girls described, he is the bouncer. He leaned in and covered her mouth with a cloth. She tried to fight him, but the chloroform kicked in too quickly. Another guy shows up and touched the door to take her. He paid the man and asked if she was a virgin. The customer wants a virgin, he told the bold man. He said she was and the guy picks her up and I lose the connection.” Graham is quiet for a moment.
“They are going to sell her for her virginity.” We all shake our head at the travesty. My woman is typing into her tablet. Fuck, my woman. I love the sound of that. She turns the tablet to face Graham.
“Is this the second guy?” Graham looks at the screen and nods his head.
“Yes, who is he?”
“A Russian by the name of Alexander Babikov. He is known in the skin trade. If he is working with these kidnappers then this just went from bad to worse.” Oh shit. I have heard of the guy. He is known for being ruthless and uncaring. A true sociopath. Fuck. Graham hangs his head. Shit, this is his friend. I pat him on the shoulder.
“We will find her. We haven't failed yet to find a missing person.”
“Really?” Hope asks. I feel myself straighten up with pride. I am proud of our little group. It is true though. I know it offers very little comfort to Graham. We have often found them when it was too late. He also knows that time is not on our side. It has been twelve hours since the kidnapping.
“Absolutely.” I say. She smiles at me and I find my own smile answering hers, even in the dire situation.
“Impressive.”
Oh baby, you haven't seen anything yet. I think at her.
“I heard that.” She says. My jaw drops. Oh crap, I did that on purpose. It was almost like I knew what to do. Like I had done it a million times.
I can push thoughts at you. She smiles and grabs my hand. She jumps up and down like a kid in a candy store. I kiss the top of her head.
“See just more proof.” I want to kiss her so damn bad but I don't want our first kiss to have an audience. I tell the guys that I need to write up my report. I tell them to call me if Forest finds anything. Before we make it to the car we hear Forest cry out. I am running as fast as I can before the sound can even echo. I find him at the edge of the treeline. Dagger is crouched down beside him and Graham is behind Dagger.
“They plan to sell her virginity, my One.” Forest keeps yelling out. Oh god no. Fuck, If this is Forest's One, there isn't a place for these fuckers to hide. This just went beyond personal. Now, the men that are involved are going to be in a world of hurt. Every Psion on earth will be gunning for them. I would never fuck with a Psion.
I look over at Hope. She has tears running down her cheeks. I pull her into me and wrap my arms around her. My baby is soft and sweet. I love that. If someone ever fucks with her they are a dead mother fucker. I don't care if I lose my job or go to jail. It would be worth it. I know my sweet baby is tough though. She tracks down the worst criminals.
“It's okay baby.” I tell her as I rub her back.
“No it's not. Forest could lose his One. I have never felt this connected to a case and it scares me.” I love that she is so kind. I could not handle another crazy woman. So far she is absolutely perfect for me. I talk to Forest and Talon for a few more minutes. They plan to keep searching. I tell them to call with any leads. No matter how small they think it may be.
I lead her over to my car and open the door for her to get in. I sit her in the seat and lean in and kiss her softly on the lips. I can taste the saltiness of her tears and still it is sweet. I pull back before I can get carried away, and I could, easily.
“Come home with me.” I ask. I have to have her to myself for a while.
“I need to go by the precinct but then I want you all to myself.” She looks up at me and smiles.
“Okay.” I jump up and around the car. She laughs. I could care less. I am fucking the shit out of her tonight. My cock is hard and leaking. She has no idea what I have in store for her tonight. I have dreamed of finding a natural submissive who can be strong outside the bedroom and mastered in the bedroom. I know she will fit the bill perfectly.
We get to the precinct and I invite her in so she can meet the chief. We have only in there for a few minutes before we have drawn a crowd. I introduce her to everyone and many of the guys blatantly hit on her. I have to growl at a few of them to back off. She thinks that shit is funny. Let's see how funny it is when those men are hobbling around on crutches. I take her in to the chief's office.
“Hey Brennan. Is this the FBI agent, sent to help us with this case?” The chief is acting a little off. I can't put my finger on how.
“Yes sir, this is Hope Fallen. Hope, this is the chief.” She is glaring at him.
“Chief, I was going to update you on the case.” She steps on my foot. I look at her.
“We have nothing new to add at this time. We will be following up on leads tomorrow.” She says. I just look at her for a moment. She is obviously not wanting to share any information with him. I play along.
“If they pan out I will let you know immediately.” I know that is something he would expect to hear from me.
“Did the Windwalker group help?” He asks.
“Not much to go on.” Damn it, I hate lying to the Chief.
“All right keep me up to speed.” He says and looks at Hope.
“It was nice meeting you Hope.” He says. She gives him a stiff nod.
We get out to the car and I have to know what the hell is happening.
“What was that about?” I ask her as I pull out of the parking lot.
“Your chief is dirty. I don't know how dirty, but I will find out.” She says. My hand tightens around the steering wheel again. Fuck, what is happening to my city?
