Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 184

　　Evelyn POV

　　One disaster after another. Wake up arguing with my mates, get to work Imogen was distracted. We shut too early, too much going on and Imogen I could tell was worried about her sister. I was struggling to remain focused and dropped three trays before giving up and closing the shop. Laura looked a little disappointed but we were only going to cause more damage by staying. I check the mailbox before walking through the front gate. I could see Ryland next to my car.

　　He stands up from doing something and as I get closer I see he was putting a new tyre on. "You didn't need to, I would have done it" I tell him as he tightens the nuts on it.

　　"No it's fine, I am sorry about this morning" he says looking up at me. I bend down kissing his lips, my hands running down his hard chest before I stand back up.

　　"I'm sorry to" I tell him.

　　Looking around I see Orion's car is gone.

　　"Where is everyone?"

　　"Orion took Mara to some playgroup thing, Thaddeus is inside" he says before standing having replaced the tyre.

　　He drapes his arm across my shoulders pulling me to his side as we walk toward the house.

　　"Why are you home early?"

　　"Argh just not a good day" I tell him.

　　"Maybe hire someone to take over for a bit, have a break. Imogen was telling us last night she needs time off, she wants to help Amara find Bianca" I nod maybe it was a good idea.

　　"You didn't work today?"

　　"No, Theo will handle everything"

　　We walked inside and Thaddeus was reading a newspaper, his foot propped up on his knee as he focused on the page drumming his fingers on the table.

　　"Your back!" He says placing his paper down.

　　"Are you two good now?" He asks, looking at Ryland who shrugs before kissing my temple and walking to the sink to wash his hands.

　　“I’m going to go shower” I tell them when my phone starts vibrating in my pocket. I pull it out glancing at the screen before answering.

　　“Hey Eve”

　　“Hi what's up” I asked, finally recognising her voice, I really needed to put her number in my phone.

　　“Did you ask your mates yet?” She says making me look at them before remembering she wanted me to go out with her. Both of them look at me hearing her voice mention them.

　　“No I just got home”

　　“Well let me know, I will come pick you up” She says.

　　“Go if you want,” Thaddeus says, making me look at him.

　　“Hang on a sec Laura” I tell her, pulling the phone away from my ear and placing it on mute.

　　“Where does she want to go?” Thaddeus asks.

　　“Some bar” I tell him and I see Ryland come stand behind him. I was a little shocked they would even entertain the idea.

　　“Do you want to go?” Ryland asks and I shrug, not really caring either way.

　　“Then go, just ring and I will pick you up. I don't want you driving drunk and stick to the human bars please” Thaddeus says.

　　I unmute the phone. “You there” I ask as I walk up the stairs.

　　“Yep, what did they say?” She asks.

　　“Said to stick to the human bars”

　　“Are there non-human bars?” She asks and I chuckle.

　　“I will pick you up at 7, just send me your address” She says.

　　“Yep will do” I tell her before hanging up, I quickly send her my address before placing the phone on the sink basin.

　　Stripping my clothes off I turn the shower on before stepping under the stream. The room fogging up as it fills with steam. I wash my hair and am nearly finished when Thaddeus walks in stripping his clothes off. “Can I join you?” He asks, opening the door.

　　“Yes of course” I tell him, moving over and letting him step in. His hands instantly go to my hips as he kisses my shoulder. “Stay away from the bar and clubs on main,” He says and I turn around to face him.

　　“Why?” I asked, confused.

　　“Most of them are werewolf bars, but they haven't got a very good reputation anymore” He says and I nod.

　　“Keep your phone on you too” I nod.

　　“You are aware I am not human, I am pretty sure I will be fine, Thaddeus” I tell him.

　　“Yes I know that but you're not much of a drinker, and you never go out. I just worry is all” he says, kissing my head.

　　“I’ll be fine and if i’m not you will feel it anyway” I tell him, wrapping my arms around his neck. His hands moving down my sides to my ass before he squeezes my ass.

　　“Ah ah, Orion is in a playgroup. Not a place to get a hard on” I tell him and he chuckles kissing my lips.

　　“I suppose you're right,” he says, grabbing the soap. I watch his hardened muscles as he washes himself, the room filling with his scent. My gums tingling as hunger takes over. I go to hop out when he stops me pulling me back in.

　　Thaddeus crushes me against his chest before gripping my hips and lifting me, he pressed me against the cold tiles but I could barely feel them. “What are you doing?” I ask him.

　　“You need to feed,” He whispers.

　　“Yeah but I can’t off you,” I tell him and he seems to think and I could feel he wanted me to feed off him, feel the darkness calling to me just as much as it calls for him.

　　“You want me to take it, don't you?” he says nothing, just kisses me.

　　“Not if you can’t handle it?” he mumbles against my lips.

　　“Can you wait till Orion gets home?” I ask him when I realise why he didn't want to give it to Orion.

　　“You don’t like him having it around Mara?” I sigh,

　　“You don’t have to, I can burn it off” He says but I shake my head, knowing how badly that could go if he tried. I knew I shouldn’t, knew how addictive his blood was, how cold it is but I could see him also struggling to contain it.

　　I kiss his jaw and he groans, pressing himself against me as I kiss and suck on his skin before feeling my fangs slip from my gums, the points pressing against his skin and I feel him relax like a weight is coming off.

　　I sank my fangs into him, his blood sickly sweet and so cold it made my fangs ache. I lap at his skin feeling the dark tendrils slipping from him into me, writhing throughout my body and encasing around my soul, bleeding into me promising everything and nothing at the same time. High, that’s the feeling his blood gives me, a feel of weightlessness like I was invincible as I floated higher into the depths of his darkness. I feel it leave him, his blood taking on a warmer feeling as the darkness leaves him and moves into me. I pull back and giggle as I feel it tickle my insides, tickling every nerve ending and awakening them.

　　“You okay?” He asks worriedly and I laugh, the sound slightly manic but makes me laugh louder as it echoes throughout my head. “Evelyn?” He asks as my head goes back on the tiles.

　　“I’m fine, Thaddeus it just tickles” I tell him high as a kite on his blood.

　　“Come I will make you dinner before you go”He says, shutting the water off before grabbing us both towels. I wrap mine around me following him into the bedroom. Grabbing some jeans and shirt I also grab my leather jacket and knee high boots. I stumbled as I walked to the bed, the floor looked like it was moving under my feet. I sat on the bed heavily wondering why his blood was so much stronger this time.

　　“Have you been using your magic?” I ask him, getting a sudden head rush.

　　“A little, are you alright or not?” He asks as I feel a shiver run up my spine.

　　“I’m fine, it will wear off in a bit. I am okay, just stronger than last time” I admit. He quickly dresses before helping me dress.

　　Walking down stairs, I grab a glass of water. Orion walks in about half an hour later with Mara in his arms.

　　“Hey princess” I called to her and she rushed over before looking up at me.

　　“Where are you going mummy?”

　　“Out with Laura” She pouts before rushing off to the living room.

　　“Out where?” Orion questions.

　　“ A bar” I tell him and he walks over gripping my face making me look up at him.

　　“Why does she feel high on drugs, have you taken something?” He asks, looking at me. I shake my head and his eyes dart to Thaddeus.

　　“You let her feed on you, when she is about to go out?” Orion says and I could hear the anger in his voice.

　　“I am fine,” I tell him.

　　“No, you are not fine, I thought we said she doesn't feed on you anymore” Orion says gripping Thaddeus arm. Ryland jumps up pulling Orion away and I could now see why Thaddeus wanted me to feed off him, Orion was usually very patient but even he has had his moments lately.

　　“You're not stable” Thaddeus tells him.

　　“And she is?” Orion questions.

　　“What’s that supposed to mean?” I ask but he doesn't answer, instead turns back to Thaddeus.

　　“You don’t let Mara out of your sight, Orion. You’re paranoid, you think I don't hear you checking all the doors and windows during the night, constantly checking Mara. Your losing it, I just thought it best to skip every now and then”

　　“Fuck you!” Orion says storming out of the room toward the living room where Mara is.

　　“Orion, I am not doing it to hurt you” Thaddeus calls out but Orion doesn't answer.

　　“I can stay if you want, I can cancel” I tell Ryland and Thaddeus. Ryland shakes his head.

　　“No, go have fun. He will calm down, I think he is becoming a little addicted to Thaddeus’s blood” Ryland says looking to the living room.

　　“Addicted?”

　　“Yes Orion has been feeding off Thaddeus daily” Ryland answers, making me confused.

　　“What but why is your blood so strong, if he is feeding off you daily?” I ask. How much magic has he been using and what for? Thaddeus sighs.

　　“Mara’s powers have been unnaturally strong. Love. I have been masking her, preventing her from using them and absorbing it, why do you think her tantrums are getting worse, her magic is manifesting. Has been since the accident”

　　“And you didn't think to say anything”

　　“We didn't want to worry you, she hasn't been strong enough to actually use them until she started the fire the other day”

　　I was lost for words, I was angry that they were hiding it from me but at the same time I knew it wasn’t to hurt me. But I felt like shit not noticing my own daughter's powers growing right under my nose.

　　I helped get Mara ready for the night and gave her a bath and dressed her after dinner. When 7 oclock came I heard a knock on the door as I was getting her settled in bed.

　　“Evie your friend is here” Ryland says, singing out from the door. I tuck Mara in and kiss her head when she grabs my hand. “Mumma dont go, stay” she cries.

　　“I won't be gone long, I will be back. I will ask daddy to come read to you” I tell her and she nods tears rolling down her face as I leave.

　　“I will do it” Orion says as I step out her bedroom door, a book in his hand. He pecks my cheek. “Be safe” He says before walking in and shutting the door behind him.

　　I walk downstairs and see Laura standing awkwardly in the entryway. Thaddeus watched her, peculiar expression on his face. Laura had a blue mini dress on that left nothing to the imagination. “Aren't you cold?” I ask her.

　　“A little but the alcohol will help that, you look dressed” She says at my layers of clothing covering me.

　　“I will meet you in the car” She says, turning and walking out. I go grab my handbag off the counter.

　　“She is dressed like a whore” Ryland says. I roll my eyes.

　　“Don’t act like you didn't enjoy the view” I tell him. As I go to walk out though, Thaddeus grabs my arm.

　　“Be careful,” He says ,making me worry.

　　“Huh, what got into you?”

　　“Nothing I just can't read her, she is like a blank canvas and I don't like it” He says, making my brows furrow in confusion.

　　“You worry too much I will be fine” I tell him standing on my tippy toes and kissing him.

　　“Ring me, I don't want you getting in a car with her drunk” Ryland says and I nod and he kisses my forehead. I walk outside toward her car. She was texting as I hopped in.

　　“Ready?”

　　“Yep let's go” I tell her and she puts the car in reverse pulling out of the driveway.
