Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 48

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 48 – Cyrus hands trailing up my side as he cups my b****t through the towel squeezing, his lip s*****g on my skin when I feel his fangs graze my neck, nicking the skin making my breath hitch when I feel my warm blood trickle down my skin before feeling his tongue running over my skin.

“Let Cyrus mark you, Addie,” Eli whispers between kissing me. Cyrus’ lips move lower to my collar bone. Eli’s hand moves to my towel tugging it down exposing me to them. Cyrus dips his head, his lips latching onto my n****e making me m**n into Eli’s mouth.

Suddenly an alarm goes off, ringing loudly from the kitchen. Eli pulls back and I hear Cyrus make a noise of annoyance. The sound snapped me out agreeing to what Eli asked as I came back to my senses.

Cyrus lifts his head before pulling me to him while Eli ducks out of the room to turn off the alarm.

“You will agree, Addie. I don’t want to force you. But you need to let me mark you soon” Cyrus says, pressing me closer against his chest.

“What if I don’t want you to mark me, I like my freedom” I tell him.

“You lost that the moment you met us, you are ours. We won’t share you with anyone else. I know you think you love Sam but you don’t, you can’t”

“I don’t love Sam, Well I do but things have changed now” I whisper more to myself then to him.

Eli walks back into the room stopping at the door. ” Tea is done,” he says, watching us, his eyes turning onyx as they trail down my n***d body.

“Just think about it, Addie. I will wait. But the urge to mark you gets stronger and I am not sure how much longer I can hold out” Cyrus says, kissing my forehead and stepping away.

He walks into the walk-in and comes out in a pair of shorts. A shirt in his hand. He hands it to me.

“I have my bag somewhere here?” I tell him knowing my pajamas are in it.

“It’s in the car still” Eli says and I slip the shirt on, it sits midthigh like a dress.

“Come eat tea then we can Chat, or not chat” Eli says, his eyes roaming over me. He holds out his hand to me and I take it letting him pull me through the house and back to the kitchen.

After dinner they left me alone. I just watched TV while they went off and did something. When they returned though, Eli seemed a little tense. I could tell he had just showered because his hair was still wet and he was no longer dressed in his suit but cotton pants.

Looking over the back of the lounge when they walked out, I could see Cyrus looked annoyed at him for some reason and it made me nervous. Eli sits down on the lounge next to me taking the remote from me and flicking the TV off. Cyrus however remained standing his arms folded across his chest.

“What’s wrong?” I ask, wondering how they have gone from almost playful to so serious.

“Nothing, Cyrus and I have been talking?”

“No, you have been talking, don’t make this out to be my decision. I was happy to wait a little longer” Cyrus says. Eli glares at him and Cyrus looks away. My mouth was losing all moisture from the tension that had suddenly filled the room.

“What decision?” I ask hoping Cyrus hadn’t changed his mind on marking me. I was so not ready for that.

“We are leaving for Soya tomorrow, you will be coming with us. You need to say goodbye to family” Eli says. My face whipping toward Cyrus who looks away not able to meet my gaze.

“But you said soon not tomorrow” I tell them looking back at Eli. Eli reaches for my hand but I pull it back.

“We are leaving tomorrow and that’s final. I am done waiting, we don’t need to be here and I want you far away from Sam as possible” Eli says.

“You can’t just throw that on me at such short notice, what about my sister and Maya?”

“Your sister is fine, your family will be fine”

“You don’t know that my sister could relapse, my mum can’t raise Maya on her own” I tell him, becoming frustrated.

“Your sister won’t relapse Addie” Cyrus says and I shake my head.

“You can’t possibly know that” I tell him.

“I do know that because I compelled her, compulsion can only be broken if I break it or I d*e, which neither is going to happen”

“What about my mother, she won’t like me leaving so quickly”

“She already knows you were going to leave, and Eli paid off her mortgage and has taken care of everything else. You know longer have custody of Maya, Taylor does”

“Wait, what?” I ask standing up.

“I told you she would be pissed off when you told her” Cyrus says to Eli.

“You haven’t had legal custody of her for nearly a week, it was always going to be this way, I had Cyrus compel a judge to sign the documents, you are no longer responsible for Maya”

“And you thought I was just going to be okay with you giving my niece back to a d**g addict”

“Reformed d**g addict she isn’t a d**g addict anymore and she is not your daughter, she never was Addie this is a good thing” Eli says. But I was outraged that they meddled so much in my life, in my family’s life.

“I want to go home, take me home” I tell them standing up.

“No you are staying here, you belong with us and that is where you will remain. You don’t have to like what we have done but you will deal with it Addie you don’t have a choice” Eli says getting up and walking off.

“If it’s about Sam I won’t talk to him anymore, I promise”

“Regardless we leave tomorrow Addelyn” Eli calls out over his shoulder as he walks off toward the bedroom.

“Why is he doing this?” I ask Cyrus who seems indifferent to the entire thing.

“Because I haven’t marked you, because of Sam and because he wants to go home” He says before sighing.

“And you agree with him?”

“I don’t agree with forcing you know but yes I am sick being here. You need to come home with us”

“I have to leave everything behind because he is insecure and homesick?” I ask incredulously. This was unfair.

“I’m sorry Addie but he is right we have stayed long enough, it’s time to go home” Cyrus says walking off.

“Are you coming to bed?” He asks when he reaches the bedroom door. I scoff, is this f****r for real, the last place I want to be is in a bed with them. I flop back down on the lounge and I hear him sigh before turning all the lights off. I was leaving tomorrow, leaving everything behind.
