Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 38

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 38 – Geez there it is again, that strange bubbling in my veins when I realise it wasn’t my anger but his, I think? My brows furrow and I look toward Cyrus’ he was watching from where he was leaning on the doorway. I go back to my desk flopping down in my seat.

“Are you going with Cyrus or are you staying now?” Eli says, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration before sighing loudly.

I say nothing instead, looking at my computer screen.

“You deal with her Cyrus, she is driving me nuts” he says before walking into his office and slamming the door. Cyrus walks over sitting on the edge of my desk between my legs.

“You two feed off each other’s emotions, you getting angry makes him get angry and vice a versa”

“Yeah well he doesn’t have to be so controlling, I just want my life back” I tell him, folding my arms across my chest and glaring at him. Cyrus raises an eyebrow at me.

“That’s not going to happen, until you realise that Addie, things are just going to get harder for you. We only want what’s best for you”

“Yeah, well you have a funny way of showing it when your trying to make me leave my family”

“Once the mate bond kicks in you will understand” I roll my eyes at their invisible bond.

“And why would that make me understand”

“Because you will feel the same way we feel about you, you will understand why we won’t leave without you”

“Looks like your staying then because bond or mates whatever it is, won’t make me change my mind about leaving my family”

Cyrus growls and goosebumps rise on my arms before he grips my chin. “Would you like a repeat of earlier?” He asks. Arousal flooded me at his words, making me remember how turned on it made me, the throb between my legs returning and I pressed my legs together. His eyes darted down and his lips tug up slyly.

“And you think the bond won’t work on you? That we have no effect on you?” He leans closer, so close his lips brush mine as he speaks.

“Yet I can smell your arousal, smell how much you want me to touch you” he whispers against my lips before I feel his tongue trace across my bottom lip before he s***s it into his mouth, making me m**n softly. I j**k back at my reaction to him. He chuckles before getting up and walking off back to his office.

I shake my head trying to get rid of the strange sensation that just rolled over me, my body feeling foreign to me.

When the day ends I sit spinning in my chair waiting for them to finish up when Cyrus and Eli walk out.

“Finally I am so b****y bored” I tell them standing up.

“We still have a few more hours,” Eli says and I stop.

“I’m joking, Addie we are going home” he says holding his hand out to me. I grab it, tingles running up the inside of my arm.

“Wait, are we going back to my place?”

“It’s up to you, I am happy anywhere,” Cyrus says.

“I want to go check on my mum and see if she knows what’s going on with Taylor”

“Then your place it is then” Eli says just as the elevator doors open. I step inside and press the button before taking my shoes off. My feet were k*****g.

Eli drops Cyrus and I off before leaving to go get a change of clothes. Walking inside, my mother was reading while Maya was sitting on the floor drawing in her sketch pad.

“Any news?”

“They are holding her till they can get her before a judge,” my mother says.

“Did she try to ring you?”

“Not yet but she will when she can get bail” my mother says which is the only time we ever hear from her is to bail her out.

“Did you see Ethan’s house burnt down, he along with 8 others died. Said a meth lab blew up” my mother says clearly forgetting that I told my sister this morning.

“Yeah seen it on the news last night before I left”

“Feel terrible for his parents, he used to be a good kid” my mother says.
