*the warm span of leather over my belly anchored me against
the hysteria finally beginning to subside, the foul remnants of Zypher's blood
replaced by the rich essence of my hellren, a mewl of protest lost to the
intensity of your eyes when you offered your wrist, I drank deeply and settle
against you, the warmth of your battered body seeping through me to loosen
fear-bound muscles, eyes squeezed tight against the brimming flow threatening
to spill at the slightest sound, the males in the front were silent, relief at
my male's return slowly chipping away at the tension that had nearly become
visible as the Escalade plowed through the smoke billowing from the warehouse*
Vishous
-sounds were muffled under the blood rushing through my
ears. Although the adrenaline had been lost the moment Butch had saved me from
making a huge mistake just so I could take my revenge on the male that had
dared... I had to stop the thought right there or I would be growling from this
moment until I could have my female under my body and screaming my name to keep
that bastard and the thoughts of him far away from our reach. No matter, the danger
was past behind us. Not that I would let this go, after all I do have a knack
for grudges. My diamond eyes were still gaining momentum in the internal glow that
is always triggered with feelings of my female. I could at least feel my
brothers and I knew Butch would cover
me. Yet, another secret that would forever binds us beyond the ties of
brotherhood. I tightened my arms around my female and heard the leather creak
in protest to the movement. Yes, even though I was weak, the blood I took from
the aristobrat served to give me the strength to be with my female. My brothers
will just have to wait.-

*not having the strength to argue the vising grip of your
arms, I tear my lips free of your wrist as the flow slows to a trickle and
finally stops, tongue rasping over the punctures and hesitantly lifting my eyes
to yours, icy beacons in the dark of the SUV's cabin, almost afraid to speak
for the aggression radiating from you even beneath the heavy leather of Rhage's
trench, not drawing a full breath until I heard the whirring mechanisms that
marked the opening of the compound's gate, shifting in your lap when the
Escalade bounces going over the tracks holding the heavy iron in place* home...
*the word spoken with a rush of relieved breath, not realizing until that
moment that it hadn't truly been home since you'd been taken from me... I'd
come to think of it as a tomb, my final resting place if you'd not been returned
to me* Nallum.. Vishous? We're home.
Vishous
-tearing my eyes from some unseen spot, somewhere far away
from the place I was when your voice filters through. Something that has kept
me alive for the weeks that I was held prisoner by the band of Bastards. I lift
my hand to trace over the features of your face as the Escalade comes to a stop
close to the Pit.- Home -repeating the word as I cling to the idea of being
back with my female, I had either died or this was really happening. Everyone
stayed where they were, my eyes flickered to Butch who had turned as if
expecting instructions.- Tell the brothers I'm back, I'll see you all tomorrow
when -my eyes back to you- I've spent some time with my shellan, true? -he nods
and we all start to shuffle out of the Escalade-
Jodi
*the break of your voice was the only crack in the wall of
rage that was gaining height around you when you looked at me, swiping a tear
from my cheek and tracing the line of your jaw with my thumb, streaking through
the grime that covered your thickened beard, the weakness of my near starvation
slowly abating.. as much as I hated the idea.. in some part to the wealth of
blood I'd been given, the pull of our bond running like lava in my veins,
cursing at the circumstances but bonded was bonded and I needed my male, the
flashing memory of the bastard's lewd sneer feeling like a layer of filth on my
skin, getting to my feet and stepping out into the drive, my eyes widening when
I get my first clear look at you since you'd been freed* Oh, fuck.. nallum... ?
