“Oh my god! Oh my god! You didn’t. I can’t believe you did. I can’t talk to you right now.”
“You can’t leave. I’ve made it that you can’t leave.”
“Want to bet?”
“Yes.”
“Solve vineula frangendum murum frangre obice, et fecit ex dilectione mea.” Belladonna say quickly and quietly. She slips out before Criss even notices she’s gone.
She wakes up in bed and Cooper wakes up with her. She explains to Cooper what he did and Cooper is upset. There is a knock at the door. “Belladonna please open the door. Please let me explain.”
Cooper opens the door. “I don’t think she wants your explanations tonight.”
“Belladonna please talk to me.”
“I said she doesn’t want your explanations.”
“Yes, she does.”
“No, she doesn’t.”
“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!” Nicolae yells.
“Criss took the teacher job. He can only show his feelings towards Belladonna is when he’s here.”
“You what!?”
‘It’s only for the next eight months.”
“ONLY!”
Yes.”
“Hello Sam, will be living here by then.”
“He will not.”
“He could be.”
“He wasn’t in the visions.”
“Yes, but there is time in between. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t for a while.”
“I’m going to be sick.”
“It’s only eight months,” Cooper say mockingly.
“I don’t mind if she is screwing zero body fat surfer dude,” say Nicolae.
“You are making your point.
“Let me guess you already signed your soul away.”
“No, I do it tomorrow at practice.”
“Well soon you'll be a teacher. Just a teacher.”
“She loves me. I’m second.”
“How long is that going to last?” Cooper asks.
“I need to talk to her.”
“I told you she doesn’t want to.”
Remember this is a safe place. He can be loving here,” Nicolae says.
“What do you want Criss?” Belladonna asks standing in the doorway.
“Can we talk please?”
“Talk.”
“Alone.”
“Fine,” Belladonna says exasperated.
Criss leads her up across the hall to his bedroom. “Silentium.”
“What do you want?”
“I want to kiss you.”
“Maybe we should l start practicing.”
Criss starts kissing Belladonna. He is pouring his heart into the kiss. Hoping everything is coming across. Yet knowing it is all getting lost in translation. He kisses her neck, and she moans softly “Surrender to me. Let me take care of you. Let us be us. We can discuss everything afterwards I swear. For now, just let us connect. There you go. I’ll take them off. I want to undress you like I used to. That got you wet. Do you remember that. I hate not having our connection where I could feel the answer or know right away. It’s difficult. Very difficult. Are you ready for me? Good.”
Belladonna and Criss start making love. She thinks how this is going to be the last time. She has tears while thinking about it. She keeps her head buried in his shoulder. He goes faster and she bites him. I need you so badly Bell. Don’t think for one second, I don’t. I am doing what is best for you. To make you a better fighter. If this is going to harm us, then I won’t do It. You are more important to me than anything else. You know that. Dear god tell me you know that.
Criss bites Belladonna. Criss, I love you. You know I do but I have to do the best thing for me. I can’t sneak around. I can’t pretend not to love you so much. I can’t do that. So, this is our last time. Maybe in eight months when things have ended, we can pick back up I don’t know. You may have found someone else by then. If you want us to leave just let me know. I love you. I know you know that. I’m not upset with you. You’re doing what you feel is right.
“Bite me Belladonna. NOW! Bite me” Belladonna bites Criss. No sweetie no. I’m not signing the paperwork. You mean more to me than anything. You know this. I am never letting anything come before you. Please tell me you understand. Please sweetie. Bell don’t do this to me.
“Criss, you wanted to do this. It’s what you felt was right. I will still love you. I will still want you. Just do what you feel is right.”
‘What’s right is being with you.”
“That’s what I think/”
“Then let me be with you.”
“Okay.”
“If you change your mind Criss I’m willing to try it your way.”
“You are?”
“Yes but I want you to put it in your paperwork that you can get out of it.”
“I will Bell I will.”
“Okay.”
“Now let’s focus back on us.”
Belladonna is done practicing and Criss is getting ready to sign his paperwork. “Easton, I have a few things I’d like to add.”
“Of course. I would expect that. 1. I can get out if it starts to affect my relationship with Belladonna.”
“That’s not a problem. What else.”
“I want to be bound again to her.”
“I will have to check on that.”
“I will sign after you find that out.”
“Understood.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Criss and Belladonna get the car together and drive towards the house. A beautiful woman appears before Easton. “Easton, we can do the binding. Why did you tell him you needed to check?”
“I am being a butt.”
“Stop it. Personal feeling with lose us this battle.”
“You’re right.”
“Tell him you can do the binding and call for me. Understood?”
“Yes Cathedra.”
“Don’t mess this up, Easton.”
“I won’t.”
“Thank you.”
Easton was left on the field alone.
Criss and Belladonna get home where Cooper is cooking. Belladonna starts eating some of the fresh fruit while Nicolae is feeding Destiny. Criss goes and gets in the shower. The kitchen is quite large. One of the biggest rooms of the house. They were even able to fit a nice sized table in the room that has room for all of them. Cooper starts smacking Belladonna’s hand every time she grabs fruit. So that she’ll eat breakfast. Everyone gets a plate and gets breakfast. Criss makes it down just in time. Belladonna’s phone rings. “Hello.”
“Hey babe. What are you up to?” Sam asks.
‘“Eating breakfast. Yourself?”
“Just got done running.”
“I did my practice before this, so my physical activity is done for today.”
“That’s too bad.”
“Why is that?”
“I wanted to see if you wanted to hike on part of the Appy Trail today.”
“I’d love that.”
“Okay great. I’ll get you in like an hour.”
Sounds perfect.”
“Beloved, make sure you pack two things of water, some granola bars….”
“I know dad. I’ll be careful.”
“I’m allowed to worry about you.”
“Yes, you are.”
“I’m going to the store today so if you need anything put it on the list.”
“Yes, Cooper won’t get it if it’s not on the list.”
“That’s right.”
Belladonna takes her plate and puts it in the sink. She goes into her bedroom to get ready. Cooper follows her. He starts the shower and gets her undresses and himself. He gets them both nice and soapy. He makes love to her several times. Belladonna doesn’t want to quit but she is meeting Sam. They are in the bedroom getting dressed. “I want you again.”
“He’ll be here shortly.”
“Cooper.”
“Yes my Queen.”
&nb
sp; “I want my King.”
“What do you want.”
“You taking me from behind hard and fast. Biting me.”
“Yes, my love. Whatever you want.”
He pulls down her pants and panties then enters her. He goes as fast as he can. Belladonna is very loud. Cooper bites her. Dear god I miss you. I always miss you. You feel incredible. I love you.
Belladonna cum followed by Cooper. He helps Belladonna finish getting ready. When they come downstairs Sam is waiting for her. He smiles and kisses her cheek. He does the strange handshake with him again. Belladonna fills up her bag with the few things she needs. Then she goes to leave. Easton is at the door. He sees Belladonna is at the door ready to leave with Sam. “Can I help you with something Easton?”
“No, I'm here to see Criss. You have fun.”
“Alright. Talk to you on Tuesday.”
“See you then.
“Criss, can we talk somewhere privately?”
“Sure.”
Criss leads him to the study and puts a silence spell on the room. “What were you needing?
“I got you a binding.”
“Great. When can we do it?”
“Whenever Belladonna can be here. I didn’t want to do it tonight with Sam being here.”
“I agree. So maybe tonight or tomorrow?”
“Yes, either one.”
“Thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome.”
“You’ve made my day.”
“I figured it would.”
“Now to wait.”
“Belladonna, do you mind if I ask you a question?”
“No Samuel I don’t.”
“What made you change your mind about me?”
“I didn’t change my mind, Samuel. I just acted upon.”
“You acted upon?”
“Yes, I did.”
Sam pulls over the car. “I want to act upon.”
Sam kisses Belladonna. His hands move all over her body. His hand is up her shirt and under her bra. Belladonna kisses him more intensely. Sam takes off his shirt. “Touch me. I know you want to. So, touch me.”
Belladonna touches his chest and moans. She kisses his chest and stomach. Then licking them. Sam is moaning and saying her name. “I’ve never let a girl do that before. I know that sounds like a line, but I never did. For the past three years I’ve waited for you to do it. You’re the only person I’ve wanted to touch me, taste me, make love to me. You’re the one.”
Belladonna looks Sam in the eyes, and they kiss. This time the kiss is different there is an electric current to it. Sam suddenly kisses Belladonna with all might. She has no clue why but he does. The kiss ends and Sam looks at Belladonna. “Do you feel that electric current?”
“Yeah.”
“It means we’re lifemates.”
“What is a lifemate?”
“It is stronger than a soulmate and much stronger than any claim.”
“It’s a fae thing?”
“Yes, it is.”
“What does it mean?”
“It’s the same as finding someone is your mate.”
“Oh okay. I understand better now.”
“I thought that might put it in a better perspective.”
“It does.”
“Come on let’s drive.”
“Did I do something wrong?”
“No not at all. I just need a little bit of time for this to sink in. I found out my lifemate is someone who is already married and mated. I don’t exactly have a future with you.”
Belladonna kisses Sam. He lays back her seat and pushes it back. He lays on top of her. She takes off her bra and shirt. He begins suck on her nipples. She moans his name. “I want you right now. God I want you.”
“I just….”
“I know it doesn’t bother me. I want you.”
Sam takes off Belladonna’s pants and panties. Sam takes off the rest of his clothes. “It won’t work, you have to….”
“I already know. I did. It’s fine. I thought ahead. We’re good. I’m a boy scout.”
“Never made love to a boy scout.”
“I prepared for anything.”
Sam slowly enters Belladonna. He fills her up completely. He feels perfect. He keeps moving steadily realizing he is driving Belladonna crazy. “Do I need to go faster, babe?”
“Please. I need you.”
“You have me.”
“You know what I mean.”
“Yes, I do. Does it feel okay?”
“God yes.”
“Have to make sure.”
“Why do you say that.”
“You're only my third.”
“You are lying.”
“I don’t lie to you.”
“You are perfect. Oh god.”
“As long as you are satisfied that’s all that matters to me.”
“More than.”
“I love you.”
“I care about you greatly.”
Sam goes even faster. Belladonna is clawing at his back. Sam is yelling her name. There is no blood play with fae, so Belladonna is fighting the urge to bite him. Which is overwhelming cause she always does it. She cries out. She is close to climaxing. Teetering on the cusp until she is pulled under.
The trail is a bit complicated in spots making sure they are going the right way. finally,
they reach the top of where they were wanting to go. Belladonna takes several pictures then Sam wants a picture of the two of them together. He posts to Instagram as soon as the picture is taken. “What did you write?”
“Great day on the Appy Trail heart emoji. That’s it.”
“That isn’t bad.”
“Then tagged it lifemate. I’m joking.”
“I know you are.”
“I did tell Cooper.”
“What did Cooper say?”
“Congratulations.”
“I said it was shallow.”
“He said you never know.”
“That sounds like Coop.”
“Well come on let’s head down.”
“You have a vial on you.”
“Yes. I wanted to check my future.”
“Well check it.”
“I’m a little scared to.”
“Check it.”
“Okay. Hold my hand to see it.”
“Okay.”
Sam is over at the farmhouse. Belladonna has eight children. Destiny is graduating from high school. The last child is Sam’s. She is a little girl. She is a miracle is what everyone calls her. Sam has a house on the property but doesn’t live in the house. He doesn’t get along with Criss. None of the guys do but Cooper. He is jealous of all of them. He is lifemates with Belladonna and has been for a very long time. Nicolae is the only one who isn’t bound to her. All the kids get along. Destiny is most like her mother. She doesn’t put up with a lot. She adores her father, and she is the first person to tell off Criss. Sam is very happy. Criss has gotten so bad there is talk of telling him to leave.
Sam is out of the trance. “Well, that was wild.”
“Eight kids. My god.”
“You have plenty of time.”
“You’re right.”
“I have a vial for Cooper.”
“Okay good.”
Belladonna tells via telepathy the vision Sam had. Cooper laughs about the number of kids. Says they’ll discuss later. Sam and Belladonna head back to the car. They stop and get food. They talk about school, his job, and the group. Nothing too exciting. They get back in the car and head home. Sam pulls over the car once to make love to Belladonna then drives the rest of the way.
Sam comes into the house when they get into her house. Criss rolls his eyes when he sees him. “Why don’t you tell everyone about your vision,” Cooper says.
Sam then tells everyone about his vision. Criss gets upset. “So, we allow you to build a house on this property. You have a connection to her. You have a child with her. And I don’t get along with Nicolae?”
/> “It’s what I saw.”
“It’s what I saw too,” Nicolae says.
“Me as well,” Belladonna says.
“I’m jealous okay. I can work on that.”
“Cooper, do you want to see yours?”
“Yes. Can Belladonna hold my hand and see it?”
“Yes she can.”
“Okay.”
Cooper has four children. Criss has one. Cooper, Criss, Nicolae, and Belladonna live in the house. Sam lives in the house on the property. They are all happy. Belladonna and Cooper are stronger than ever. Belladonna found a way for them to be bound even more and she did it. Belladonna says when you look at their connection you can’t tell where one ends and the other begins. Their children are a joy in their lives. They are all smart and loving. Criss is jealous. He says he isn’t, but Cooper sees how he looks at them and knows he is. He won’t stand for it. He has been trying to get Belladonna to stay with him more. Cooper is ready to fight him. He knows it’s going to come to that.
“Yeah, I saw it.”
“What did you see?” Nicolae asks.
Cooper shares the vision and Criss puts his head down. “It could be worse,” Sam says.
“How?”
“You could actually be fighting all of us.”
“That’s true.”
“I’m going to take a bath. I’ll be back in a few,” Belladonna says.”
“I’ll be gone by then. “
“Okay I’ll see you later.”
‘Yes, you will.”
Sam kisses her and then leaves. Belladonna goes upstairs and gets in the tub. Criss goes up to his room. “Am I bothering you?” Criss asks.
“You are never a bother, what were you wanting?”
“Easton can bind us again if you want it.”
“Of course, I want it. When can he do it?”
“Tonight, or tomorrow.”
“Tonight, would work fine.”
“Great. I’ll let Easton know.”
Belladonna soaks in the tub just letting the water take her away. She can feel herself drifting away. She didn’t know she was this tired, but she is. She feels someone touching her. Telling her to relax. They are telling her how good she feels. How wet she is. She can’t come up. She tries to but she can’t. That’s when she hears Cooper’s voice clearly. “Do you think you can just come in here and touch her! What did you do to her? She isn’t even aware of it. You raped her.”
