Fated Truth (The True Witch Saga)

by Gwartney, Tasha

  I screamed Jaxx’s name again and again while staring into his eyes. As I began to come down he removed his fingers and slowly lifted them to his mouth to sample my pleasure.

  “You are so beautiful in your pleasure, Ella, and you are all mine.”

  “Yours,” I agreed still trying to catch my breath.

  He slammed his mouth to mine and kissed me like a starving man, devouring my mouth. He reached around, grasped my ass and lifted me so I could wrap my legs around his hips. He lowered himself slightly to find my opening, and then he slammed into me.

  I was still sore from the previous night, so I felt a slight twinge of pain at him entering me, but it was good. So damn good. In my lust filled haze, I started to respond and push my hips up to meet each of his thrusts, he pistoned in and out of me. With each thrust he grunted as he stared into my eyes. I was screaming so loudly, I swear my ears popped. He was fucking me into the wall so hard that the paintings were crashing to the ground all around us. I felt myself getting closer, so I slipped my hand between our twisting and thrusting bodies to stroke my clit.

  He looked down to watch me masturbate while he was fucking me. “Keep doing that!” he panted. “Get yourself off all over my cock.”

  The pain and pleasure was quickly turning too much and I felt myself start to slip over the edge. I removed my hand from my clit and tangled it in his hair. “Jaxx I’m close! Cum with me while I cream on your huge cock!”

  I ran the nails of my hand down his back, breaking the skin. His thrusts became even harder and more erratic, beating me harder into the wall. I wrapped my legs tighter around his waist and yanked savagely on his hair as I fell over the edge. I heard him shout out my name at his own release. He pulled out of me slowly and lowered me to stand on my own feet. He had to hold me stable for a bit while I retained the use of my legs.

  “Gah. I gushed out. Does it get better each time?” I asked.

  Jaxx settled me to stand against the wall as he walked over to the mirror above his dresser. He turned his back to it to inspect the gouges I’d left running down his back. He turned back toward me and grinned wickedly at me. “I sure hope so! And feel free to mark me all you want. I’ll enjoy wearing you on me all day.”

  I blushed at that.

  We both were startled at an abrupt banging on the door. Gavin shoved it open. His anger was written all over his face. He looked around the room and got an eye full of us both as I dove for the bed.

  Jaxx just returned Gavin’s look with a smirk on his face.

  “Something I can help you with brother?” I ask, completely buried in blankets by that time.

  “Yeah, you can stop ramming yourselves into the wall directly behind my bed,” he grumbled while rubbing a red lump on his forehead.

  I blushed scarlet at that statement. But then I noticed that the lump seemed to be growing larger, so I wrapped a sheet around myself and walked over to him. Jaxx was still standing in front of the mirror admiring his back. I shook my head at his antics. As I reached him, I touched his wound and he flinched from my touch. I frowned. He must be more damaged than he let on last night, I thought. “Hold still I want to try something,” I said.

  I reached for his forehead again and felt a tingling start in my palm. Warmth spread from my chest down my arm and into my hand. When my jade light was burning brightly in my hand I touched it to the purplish lump that was paining my brother. When the bruising began to fade and the lump lessened, I removed my hand and found his skin pink and healthy looking once more.

  Gavin rushed to the mirror above the dresser, practically shoving Jaxx out of the way. Jaxx was laughing at Gavin’s astonished expression. He turned surprised eyes to me.

  “You are truly something special, sister. My thanks for the healing.” He turned to stalk back out of the room.

  “Gavin, how did you end up with that goose egg anyway?” I asked before he cleared the door. I should have kept my big mouth shut.

  Gavin looked at me over his shoulder. “The earthquake that woke me up this AM knocked the painting off the wall. It was hanging directly over my head,” he chuckled as I gave him a mortified look. He started out the door again, and then paused once more to get one last word in. “By the way, Ella, I think Jaxx owns that lily white ass of yours, since it’s currently sporting a nice red hand print.”

  Jaxx and Gavin exploded into laughter.

  Gavin finally quit the room and I stomped my red hand-printed ass straight to the bathroom, slamming the door in Jaxx’s face. Ugh. Laugh at me will they? Well pay back is a real cunt. I smirked, thinking of ways to pay them back.

  After my shower I walked back into Jaxx’s bedroom wrapped in a towel to hunt down something to wear. I was currently without anything clean that was actually mine. So I started to riffle through his drawers and found some boxers and an old thread bare tee. I quickly slipped into them and went to hunt down Jaxx. I found the guys sitting around the breakfast nook sipping on coffee and talking about my healing Gavin. “Good morning,” I said as I entered the room.

  Jaxx was out of his seat in a heartbeat and had me wrapped up tight in his arms. “I’m sorry, baby. I didn’t mean to laugh, but it was funny.” I tried to pull back and pout at him, but he wasn’t having it. “Okay how about I make you a huge breakfast to apologize for being an insensitive ass?”

  “That’s a start,” I smirked and sashayed over to his seat, stealing his coffee.

  “My goddess, Jaxx! Are you that pussy whipped already?” Gavin snarked at him.

  “I would be that whipped too if what they were doing was half as good as it sounded,” Seb chuckled at his own retort.

  “Not you too, Seb,” I pouted again.

  “Hey it’s not his fault you both are a bunch of wall banging freaks.” Everyone laughed at that. Gavin looked proud of himself.

  Seb turned to me and asked “So did anyone even actually give you the sex chat before that one over there ravished you?”

  Jaxx choked on the coffee he was sipping while flipping the French toast. I just shook my head at them. Boys will always get a hard on for talking about sex.

  “Yes actually. Jessa told me that it was like shoving a cold hotdog through a key hole.”

  Gavin shot coffee out of his nose at that. “What the fuck, Ella. I was drinking something here. You just can’t say something like that!”

  Seb was shaking his head at me with a smile on his face, while Jaxx was in the throes of an all-out belly laugh. “She actually probably did say that exact thing to her. You just have to meet Jessa to know. Blunt little thing,” Jaxx said.

  I just sat back in my chair smirking at Gavin while he was still trying to mop coffee out of his shirt. He looked up at me and finally got it.

  “You did that on purpose. Didn’t you?”

  “Yes,” I acknowledged with a smile. “But Jessa really did explain sex in those words. My adopted mother was too much of a frigid prude for that talk.” I jumped out of my seat at all the talk of Jessa. I reached for my bag on the counter and fished out my phone. I dialed her number and she picked up after the sixth ring.

  “Bitch, you must be Cray, Cray! Do you have any fucking idea what time it is?” she shouted into the phone at me.

  “Yeah, yeah. Get over it, wench. I need some clothes. I have nothing clean here to wear. So bring me something,” I smirked because I knew this would set her off.

  “What in fuck’s name do you mean you need clothing? Where are you?”

  “Jaxx’s. His uncle, Jaxx, and I are about to sit down and have a huge breakfast. Want to join?” I knew her weakness for any kind of breakfast food.

  “I’ll get you something of mine to wear for the day. I’m not missing some greasy goodness!” Just before she hung up I sprung it on her.

  “Oh and Jessa?”

  “What?” she huffed at me.

  “You get to meet my twin when you get here too.”

  She was yelling something into the phone, but I had already clicked off on her ass. Sur
e way to piss her off, but it was funny pushing her buttons. Munchkin had a temper. Love it.

  I walked back into the kitchen and everyone was staring at me. “Whaaa?”

  “Jessa’s coming over here?” Jaxx asked cautiously from his position at the stove.

  “Yes. I need clothing don’t I?”

  “I like you in mine just fine,” he smirked at me. I strolled over, stood on my tip toes and brushed my lips against his.

  “Gag me now,” Gavin grumbled.

  I turned to Seb and really looked at him for the first time that AM. He was looking a bit peaked. “Hey, Seb, have you eaten?”

  “A bit ago, but after having something fresh, after so long, it didn’t agree with me.”

  “Bagged blood?” I asked.

  “Yes.” He nodded.

  “Well pony up, Uncle Seb. I don’t mind being your main tap,” I laughed at myself.

  Seb looked genuinely surprised. “You would do so again? Willingly?”

  “Of course. Why not? You are going to train me, and we are family now also. So like I said, pick a spot.”

  He leaned over me and gently took my wrist in his cool hand. Jaxx and Gavin watched silently as Seb sank his fangs into my left wrist lightening quick.

  I couldn’t stop the gasp of pain that escaped my mouth and Gavin gripped my right hand. I smiled at him in gratitude. Then as quick as it started, it was over.

  “My thanks, again, little niece,” Seb said with a smile as he licked the last of my blood off the corner of his mouth. “It is nice to have my family expanding once again.” He looked from me to Gavin.

  “Well we need to get our stories straight before Jessa gets here because Seb doesn’t pass for a stodgy uncle.”

  “I agree.” Jaxx stood behind me, gripping my shoulders.

  “I’m your roommate. Simple as that,” Seb said with a shrug of his shoulders.

  “Simple and true, I like it. I don’t like lying to Jessa. I’m not any good at it either. She always catches me out.”

  Gavin looked at me and nodded. “Better not to lie then.”

  We waited around the table until the breakfast Jaxx had cooked started to get cold.

  “Let’s go ahead and start eating, I’m sure she’ll make an appearance when we are almost done. I’ll make her plate and set it aside.”

  Everyone but Seb started filling their plates with French toast, bacon, eggs, and hash browns. Everything looked perfectly scrumptious. Seb was reading what looked like an old history tome while we were moaning and going on about how good everything was. When we were all about done eating, I started to get worried that Jessa hadn’t shown her pretty face yet. My phone gave a shrill ring from beside me.

  “Hello?” I answered

  “Hey you freaky witch, I just wanted to let you know that I will fuck up everyone you love. No one makes me look like a crazy cunt and gets away with it!”

  “Sabrina?” I asked.

  “Who else?” she cackled into the phone then hung up on me.

  I rushed from the table frantically ringing Jessa’s phone. It just rang and rang. When I couldn’t get a hold of her I slumped down onto the floor in the hallway and started to silently cry. I tried to call Devon next and he answered on the second ring.

  “What’s up, hag?” he answered.

  “Have you seen or heard from Jessa?” I practically yelled at him through the phone.

  “Calm down, chica. And no I haven’t what’s wrong?”

  “That’s what we all would like to know,” Jaxx said from behind me.

  I turned to look at him as I explained to Devon over the phone what Sabrina had just said to me.

  “Jessa was supposed to be here an hour ago, but she isn’t. I’m worried Devon. Really freaking out here!”

  “Calm-” he started to reply, but my call waiting beeped in.

  I looked and noticed that it was Jessa’s mother. “Hang on, Devon. Jessa’s mom is on the other line.” I heard him say ‘fuck’ as I clicked over.

  “Hello,” I said, scared out of my mind.

  “Ella, honey, is that you?”

  “Yes’m. What can I do for you?”

  She started crying softly into the phone. “Honey you need to come down to the hospital. Jessa has been in a car accident. They don’t know what has happened or how she is yet, but I know she would want you here. I need you to come now. I hope to see you soon.” She hung up without me saying a word.

  I clicked back over to Devon, and explained what had happened. “I’ll meet you at the hospital, and Devon, be careful!” I hung up with him and I lost my shit. Jaxx gathered me in his arms and rubbed my back as I soaked the front of his shirt.

  “Pretty eyes, you need to calm down. The maid has washed your clothing from yesterday. We need to get you dressed and get on the road. I know you want to be there.” Jaxx continued to rock me until I sucked it up and got moving.

  I ran up to our room as I was starting to think of it. I rushed through getting dressed, not even worrying about my hair. I brushed my teeth in record time, slipped into my socks and boots, and was out the door in under five minutes.

  I was rushing down the stairs when my boot heel snagged onto something and I was sent stumbling. “Fucking Damn Shit Fuck Me Sideways!” I screamed as I landed at the bottom of the staircase. I automatically started to check myself over to see what I fucked up on my way down. Yup, my left wrist and left ankle hurt like the devil. I heated up my right palm and concentrated on healing myself, but it didn’t work. “Why the fuck does it have to stop working now?” I guess I was really loud as I was yelling at myself.

  Jaxx was by my side in a flash of moonlight. “What has happened?”

  “My dumb ass fell down the stairs and I can’t fix me,” I mumbled at him with silent tears streaming down my face.

  “Here, take my hand. Breathe deep. Now try.” When it doesn’t work right away, he knew I was getting agitated again. “Concentrate, Ella. Clear your head.”

  I did as I was told and gripped his hand tightly. I felt the tingling start in my palm, the heat radiating in my chest traveling down my arm, and I touched my right hand to my left wrist. The pain disappeared almost instantly. I repeated the process with my ankle.

  “Hmm, I guess we have to be linked to heal ourselves.”

  “Good to know,” I said as I jumped up and grabbed his hand, taking off at a run for the front door.

  Chapter Eleven

  And My World Shatters

  We all loaded into Seb’s spacious Lexus and hauled ass all the way to the main Emergency entrance of the Hospital. I was out of the car and running through the doors before the car even fully stopped. I abruptly halted at the nurse’s station.

  “Jessa Carpender,” I said to the lady behind the counter.

  “Honey, she’s in ICU, on the fourth floor,” she replied after looking it up on the computer.

  By the time I had that information everyone had caught up to me. Jaxx twined his fingers in mine as we sprinted side by side to the elevators. While we were waiting, Jaxx tried to calm me down.

  “Baby, you have to calm yourself. You are wreaking havoc all around us,” he urged me to see what was happening around us.

  I looked around and finally noticed that the windows at the front entrance were rattling and the ground beneath our feet was quaking. People all around us were running to take cover in doorways and under tables, yelling that there was an earthquake.

  “Deep breaths,” Seb whispered in my ear as Gavin reached for my free hand.

  The united front they had cocooned me in was working. I could feel myself calming. I took a deep breath and looked at them. “I’m okay now, I think, just stay close. I still don’t feel totally in control of myself.”

  The elevator doors dinged and swooshed open. We entered and took what seemed like an endless ride to the fourth floor. When the doors swooshed back open, I was out of them like a shot. Only this time I was not alone, Jaxx had me shackled to his side. As we enter the ICU
wing I saw Devon sitting in a chair with his head in his hands.

  He looked up as if he felt me walk into the room, and he was out of his seat, rushing to me. He flung himself into my arms and broke. He was sobbing so loudly that the nursing staff was looking at us worriedly.

  “Shhhhhhh, baby boy, it’s going to be okay.” I looked around and noticed that Gavin and Seb had taken up seats close to where we were standing. Jaxx was rubbing circles on Devon’s back, trying to give him comfort. In that moment I loved him even more.

  “She is strong, Devon. She is going to be okay.” After what seemed like hours he finally calmed down enough to tell us what he knew.

  “I talked to her mom when I first got here. She said that she somehow lost control of her car and rammed straight into a tree. They had to cut her out of the car, Ells.” He started to sob again.

  I led him over to a chair and sat him down. I took the seat beside him and put my arm around him. I looked over at Jaxx and he nodded at me. He strode from the waiting room to find out if he could get an update from anyone.

  When Jaxx returned, he frowned and shook his head no. I slumped. He took my hand into his and we waited. We waited for hours with nothing but silence to keep us company. Seb and Gavin took turns going to get all of us coffee and snacks. Finally I spotted Jessa’s mom when she slowly walked into the waiting room. She looked like the life had been leaked out of her. She had aged at least ten years since I’d last seen her.

  Devon and I jumped from our seats at the same time and hurried to her. We each took a hand and led her to my vacated chair. She looked up at us both with glassy eyes. I wondered where her husband was. I knew that Jessa and her mom were alone a lot since her father traveled for work, but shouldn’t he be there for this?

  “She has a back injury. She is in surgery right now. That’s all I know. Something went wrong with her car. I talked to the police and they told me that the brakes were bad. That she couldn’t have stopped even if she wanted too.”
