She had been as she is now. So full of life and strikingly beautiful. I wished that I had imprinted on her. I felt cheated that she was not my One. I had to be near her even though I would tell myself that it was insane to get attached to her. There was no stopping how I felt.
Now, here she is my very One. The girl I have dreamed about and wished to have. I have that chance now. I can't screw this up. I would be lost without her. I was, for the two weeks we were apart. Not a moment went by that I didn't think about her. I would dream about her every night and wake up alone. I fell into a depression. Most days I didn't even have the energy to get out of bed. I know that I can never go back to that, I would never survive. She is it for me.
She leans against the bed and runs a finger across the satin bedspread. I picked everything in this room with her in mind. I would constantly ask myself 'would Nat like this' and I would go with what I thought she would like best. I know she loves soft things. She would joke and say that satin was her favorite color. It is how she saw. That is another thing I love about her. She sees the world differently. To her there is no color or violence. To her it is all in textures and love. I need her love and will give her texture.
I will give her anything that I can. I would give her the moon if I could. She smiles up at me and I feel it in my stomach. I love her smiles. I want to own every one of them from here on out.
“You got my favorite color.” She says as the continues to touch it. Fuck yeah I did, for this very reason. I should buy some satin clothes. I want her hands on me like they are on my comforter. She sits down on the edge of the bed and leans back on one hand.
“Are we sharing this room or do you want me in the spare room.” She smirks because she already knows the answers.
“Your ass is here every night beside me. I don't give a fuck what else is going on.” I look in to her eyes and see how much she enjoyed my answer. She may not be ready to give in to everything, but I can tell I am getting to her.
“Tell me, were you thinking about me when you bought this.” She runs her hand across the bedding again.
“Yes, you were in my thoughts when I bought everything in this house.” She lays down across the bed and moans and I nearly jump on the bed to take her. I close my eyes and hold my breath as I count to ten. I open my eyes and still see her still laying there. I nearly cum in my pants. I reach down and squeeze the tip to get him to calm down. Her eyes follow my hand. Shit.
“Let's go downstairs and get some tea.” She is staring at my crotch as she licks her lips. Fuck. Does she know what she is doing? I growl and I am about to say something when the doorbell rings. She hops up as if nothing was happening. I run a hand down my face and follow her down the stairs. I thought for a moment that she was going to answer the door but she stops beside it and waits for me.
I open the door for my sister and new brother in-law. Jenna is smiling at me as though she knows something that I don't. In this case she probably does. She is a true psychic. She can see the future or what some Psions call walking the veil. She is also empathic. A couple of weeks ago she had thought that she was losing her gift, but it was only because she was about to meet her One. She has never been privy to her own future.
She is followed in by Ethan who can control all of the elements and read minds. He is one of the most powerful Psions in the world. I don't mean to toot my own horn but I am stronger. I am a air elemental with super strength. My family knows I am a elemental but I do not think they realize just how strong I am. My strength is so abundant that I can lift a car and carry it a mile without tiring. Get the picture.
They walk in to the living room and we follow them. Jenna starts going on about what all she brought and I lead Ethan to the kitchen. I pull out a couple of beers and toss him one.
“Do you know anything about dating?” I ask. Ethan starts laughing. Ass.
“No man. I never was the dating kind. Even in high school.” He pulls out his phone.
“Let's get my brothers over here. They have been big daters. Not so much lately, but they did date more than the rest of us.” He calls them and they agree to come over. I am not sure I want them around Nat. They are too friendly and I am extremely possessive, especially after almost losing her. I am not sure I can see them flirt with her without reacting. Ethan must have seen my reaction.
“They know not to mess with her. You will see. They are scared to death of you.” I start laughing. They did seem a little more stand offish since they saw me moving people around using air and not breaking a sweat. If it keeps them away from my woman it is a good thing. I have never been violent and I am known for being a very nice guy, but mess with what is mine and I will take you down.
I would ask my favorite brother but he dated less than any of us. He is proof how connected you are to your One. He was able to woo her with zero finesse. Forest has been through so much. He and his Emma have been through more than anyone ever should have to. I still feel guilty for what happened to Forest when we were little.
Forest and I were accepted into a science camp for those with high IQs. We were both very excited. Little did we know that one of the camp counselors was a pedophile. Any time a boy was put in solitary (which is a cabin off in the woods by itself) this predator was raping them. Forest noticed something was going on and started investigating. The counselor found out and was looking for an excuse to get his filthy hands on Forest. I didn't know any of that. I got in trouble for not being quiet and Forest took my punishment. He came back different, but I had no idea why, until a few weeks ago.
My doorbell rings again. It is Riley and Logan. They follow us into the kitchen where I pass them each a beer. We sit down.
“Can you tell me what to do on a date?” I ask them. Riley looks like he wants to laugh but holds it back. Yes he is definitely scared of me. I nearly roll my eyes. I am the last person they should fear, unless they mess with Natalie.
“When do you want to take her out?” Logan asks.
“Tonight.” Logan winces. What the fuck.
“You needed to make reservations. There is no way you will get a table at a really good restaurant.” Logan says. I didn't even think of that.
“You don't need a restaurant. Take her to the fair. It just came in to town last night. It is perfect. Take her on rides, win her some prizes and buy her anything she wants. On the way home pick up some Chinese.” Riley says. I smile over at him and he beams. Jesus do they think I am a murderer.
“Thanks man. That is perfect. We finish off our beers as the girls join us. Jenna stops in front of Riley and Logan.
“You are going to have to learn to share a woman. Do not disappoint her by squabbling over her.” She tells them. Their jaw drops. It has been known to happen on occasion that more than one Psion imprints on the same person. It isn't common, but it does happen. Ethan starts laughing.
“These two have never shared well together. Talk about complete opposites.” He laughs even harder when they both flip him off at the same time.
“We agree on the things that matter and if fate is going to have us share then we will just have to get used to it.” Logan says. He is the more serious of the two. Riley is a joker. I see what Ethan means. It will be fun to watch how this goes down.
“Never mind about needing something fancy to wear tonight.” I tell Nat. She looks disappointed. Shit.
“We are dating Talon. I told you that I refuse to move in with you and all the other things if we do not date.” She says as she glares at me.
“Little bit, did I say I wasn't taking you out on a date tonight? I was unable to make reservations to a fancy dinner, but I am still taking you out.” I cross my arms over my chest.
“Oh, well okay. What should I wear.” I look over at her.
“What you got on is fine.” She looks down at her clothes and her eyebrows pinch together. Then her nose curls up. She is going to be the death of me. I just know it. It is a good thing I am already in love with her. I introduce her to the three new guys
and she shakes each of their hands. I rolled my eyes when Riley looks over at me before shaking her hand.
My sister sees this and starts laughing. She says I may be a giant but that I am a marshmallow inside. I do not agree. If you are a bad man, I will fuck your shit up. If you are a good person, I will be good to you. I just do not have as much of the in between stuff. It's black or white.
The woman join us with a glass of tea and we talk about work. Now, that Nat knows about Psions we do not need to censor our discussions. She asks each of them about their gift and she looks shocked to hear about so many different gifts. We tell her about how each of our gifts help in the field. She seem honestly intrigued.
I take her hand and hold it while everyone is talking around us. I realize we missed lunch and order some pizzas. We have a very pleasant afternoon visiting. I just wish to have her all to myself. She smiles and laughs and I selfishly want to be the only one to elicit them.
Chapter 4.
I enjoyed Talon's family, but I was happy when they left. I want to spend some alone time with Talon. I want to know him better. I also want to get ready for our date. I do not know what he has planned for me, but I won't deny being disappointed when he said I didn't need to dress up. I was looking forward to wearing my blue dress tonight.
I kiss Talon on the cheek as I walk past him. He grabs me around the waste and pulls me back in to him. I moan as his mouth fastens to mine. I love his kisses nearly as much as I love him. His tongue touches mine and my nipples harden. I pull back before things get out of hand.
“I need to get ready.” I tell him.
“Why? You look beautiful.” He says. My heart stalls for a second. He is completely serious. I do not think he would care what I wear. He will still think I am beautiful. I fall a little more in love with him in this moment. Who wouldn't. The man is absolutely wonderful. I step back in to him and pull him down to me for another kiss. He moans this time when I thrust my tongue between his lips. I was never a shy girl and I am certainly not now. When it's starts to get to hot and heavy, I pull back.
“I am changing and putting on a little makeup. I will be ready in half an hour.” I peck his lips again and make my way upstairs where Jenna and I took all of my clothes. I didn't like Jenna before because she kept telling Talon that he needed to stay away from me. They forget I can hear very well. Better than most actually. It is true what they say about losing one of your senses.
I like her now though, especially after she explained why and about her gift. I just wish we could turn back time. I worry that I will remain bitter. I am still hurt that he chose to leave me. I would never have chosen that. Maybe I love him more than he loves me. I just know I would have fought for him. I want a man who finds me worth it. Now that I know about Ones, I can't just walk away from him though. Not that I want to. I just wanted to be first. Is that too much to ask for.
I decide to wear my skinny jeans and a blue, long sleeved shirt with a scoop neck. It makes my eyes pop. I choose my black thigh high boots and a black belt to go with it. I go in to the bathroom and pull out my makeup bag. I apply eye-shadow, lip-gloss and mascara. I spike my hair a little and I am ready to go. I am not a high maintenance kind of girl.
I run down the stairs where Talon is waiting. He changed in to a green shirt that makes his eyes look even more green. He is absolutely beautiful. He is the tallest man I have ever met. Most men are tall to me. Hell, most women are tall to me, but Talon is even taller than most at nearly seven feet. He is huge everywhere, with his broad shoulders. Even his hands and feet are enormous. Oh god though, his body is a work of art. I have felt it through his clothes and I can't wait to explore it more thoroughly.
“Ready, little bit?” I smile at his nickname for me. He has called me that since the very first day we met. I think I have been obsessed with him since that day. I was at my sisters graduation. I was not alone. I had my boyfriend with me. We had been together for a couple of years and I thought I was in love with him, until that day. I saw Talon and that was it. I broke up with Tim the next day. I feel bad about it, but the heart wants what the heart wants. My heart will always want Talon.
“Yep.” He puts my coat on me. I take his arm out of habit and let him lead me out of the house. It is cold out but better than it had been. It is the end of winter. Soon the trees and flowers will start to bloom. We get all four seasons here and I love it. I lived in California as a child and it was boring. Same weather every day. He helps me up in to his truck and goes around and climbs in the drivers seat.
We do not talk much on the drive. It is a comfortable silence. He takes my hand and holds it, running his thumb across my knuckles every so often. It's peaceful. I have not had my sight back long and I am enjoying the view. I am getting to know everything again. I still trust what I feel more than see. I am sure it will be that way for a while. He pulls my hand up and brushes his lips across the back of my hand as he continues to drive. I can tell he is deep in thought.
We pull in to a parking spot and he turns the engine off. I look around, but I do not see anything. There is a huge RV in front of us and I can't see around it. I wait until Talon comes over and helps me out of the truck, again it's a habit. He leads me around the RV and I gasp. There is a fair going on. I had no idea. I have not been to one since I was a little girl. I jump up and down in excitement.
“I take it you like the first date?” He asks. I pull him down for a kiss.
“It is awesome, but it has only begun. Let's see how it goes. It is looking good.” He smiles down at me. He takes me to the ticket counter and buys all day passes even though we are not here all day. It does give us unlimited rides. I have never been on a roller coaster. My mom was too scared to let me or my sister on one. I drag him over to the first one I see and get in line. He laughs and shakes his head.
“I take it you want to ride the roller coaster.” He laughs. I nod my head vigorously. I am so excited I am practically bouncing. He pulls me to him and kisses me soundly. When he pulls away, I am panting and wishing we were home. Then the line moves and my sense of adventure takes it's place again.
“Fuck, I love seeing you this excited.” He growls. I smile up at him as we gradually move forward. When it is our turn to go on. The attendant steps forward.
“You'll want to sit on the right side. That way you don't squash your tiny girl.” He tells Talon. I giggle a little. I am not sure if either of us should be offended. I shrug my shoulder when Talon looks at me with a raised brow. So he is tall and I am short. Who gives a damn, as long as we don't.
The ride starts and I grab a hold of the bar with one hand and Talon with the other. At first it seems so harmless a few whipping curves, but then it starts climbing. My heart is racing and I close my eyes. You can handle this. I tell myself.
“Open your eyes, little bit. You don't want to miss this part.” I open my eyes and watch as we teeter off the edge of the unknown. I scream as I leave my stomach at the top of the slope. I keep screaming as we do two more smaller hills. Talon is laughing like a loon. I elbow him.
When the ride comes to a stop I am practically bouncing in my seat. I am ready for the next adventure. Talon helps me out of my seat and down the ramp.
“What do you want to do now?” He asks. I pull him to a ride that takes you straight up and then drops you. I can hear all of the people on it screaming. Yes, definitely this one. He groans.
“I have created a monster now.” I just laugh. We ride every ride in the park. He makes me stop to eat, then I am dragging him back on rides. He ended up getting sick after the teacups. Poor guy was green the rest of the night. I had more fun than I ever remember having had. When it was time to leave I am sad.
“Hey, I will take you to six flags this summer.” That cheers me up. They have even more rides there. I smile up at him.
“I definitely created a monster.” He mumbles. We stop and pick up Chinese food on the way home. By the time we get to the house, I am starved. All of the energy I used while play
ing has made me positively ravenous.
He pulls out plates and we sit down at the table. I spill the contents of one of the container onto my plate and dig in. It is so good that I find myself moaning as I eat.
“Keep that shit up and you will be stuffed full of something else.” He says. I slap his arm.
“Talon.” I shake my head, but it is hard to reprimand him when it has turned me on by what he said. I have never heard him talk like that before. Although, we never crossed that line of friendship until today. I find it... hot as hell. My panties are soaked now.
I finish off my food and follow him in to the living room. He puts in a movie. I could care less what it is. I am ready to cuddle and hopefully more. I know it was my idea to date first but come on we are already living together. Things are backwards enough already. What will a little loving do?
He comes back to the couch and sits down. I take his hand and rest my head on his arm. I sigh as the the movie begins. I turn and look up at him. He isn't watching the movie. He is watching me. He pulls me up and kisses me. I moan into his mouth as his tongue slides along mine.
I climb into his lap so that I can get a better angle. He makes me forget that I wanted to go slowly. Forget it, we had years of foreplay.
Chapter 5.
I love her kisses. I could spend a lifetime getting lost in her mouth. She sighs and groans several times and I nearly lose myself. I have to be careful with her. I have to be in control of my body or I could accidentally hurt her and I would never forgive myself if I do. I pull back and look down at her. Her hair is wild and her eyes are glazed and hungry. I moan and take her kiss swollen lips again. Pull back. I tell myself repeatedly.
She climbs onto my lap and straddles my hips. I can feel her feminine heat against my hard as a rock cock. I moan as I rub against her. Pull back. I don't want to. I grind against her one more time and then break the kiss and gently move her off of my lap.
