It is now night time in the small town known as Liliac. Tiffany and her five friends are throwing a party for her father's return home. Her house was now packed with out of control party animals. She watches as three guys push another young man into her pool. She starts to shake her head as he comes up yelling and grabbing at the others to pull them down with him.
"Wow, I think we went a little over board. Don't you?" Violet asks as she helps Tiffany pick up some of the empty cans.
Tiffany laughs as she replies in a sarcastic way, "Just a little." Her eyes advert to her older brother Marcus as he crosses the lawn to them. "Why did you have to invite so many people?"
"Well, we decided to make this moment memorable for our father, remember?" His sarcasm hits her like a brick wall.
"Sure, but we did not say we were going to invite the whole freaking zoo to it." She throws right back at him.
"Come on sis." He starts to walk down the stone path to their front door. "Dad will be here soon. I am sure he would rather see you smile then complain."
She rushes around him, stops then turns and presses her palms against his chest, "I agree he would not want to see me upset. That is why they need to start leaving. Only close friends and family should be here for this moment." She pauses to watch three girls run up and start groping on one of the men by the pool. "This is just sick, wrong, and so not right in any way."
He stares at her then turns and watches the display of groping females, "Ok, you’re right about that part. But I want to have a wild party, not a little get together for the family." He grabs her shoulders and starts to move her out of his path. Without making a fuss she slowly removes herself.
He turns back to face her, "Once it's all done I will help you clean up."
"Sure you will." She turns and starts walking towards the pool. "Just like you always do." She states in a whisper.
Violet is now walking beside her."I can't believe your father left him in charge of you." She stops suddenly in front of Tiffany. Which, in turn, makes Tiffany collide into her back.
Rubbing her now sour forehead Tiffany finally asks, "Why did you stop all of a sudden."
Violet's deathly silence brings chills to Tiffany. "Violet? What's wrong?" She looks around her and finds her father. Not just her father but others as well. People she has never meet before. Beautiful women, and very gorgeous men standing right behind her father. She soon feels as if her mind is being placed under a seductive trance by one of the females bright out of this world glowing blue eyes. "Dad?" Her question came out in more of a whisper as the blue eyes kept her locked on to them.
Violet snaps out of her trance to notice Tiffany still dazed by her trance. She gently taps her on the shoulder, "Your father is here." Stating, as if Tiffany has not noticed him yet.
Tiffany shakes her head to clear her mind and snap out of the trance. "I know," her words come out in a whisper as she turns her eyes to her father's. "Dad, who are they?" As her question escapes her mouth her brother pushes past her.
"Hey, Father," he stops as his full divided attention is drawn to his father's friends. "Wow, and you wanted just a close family get together." He sarcastically puts as he jabs his elbow into Tiffany's arm.
She jerks away from him, "Yeah, well, your friends are crazy." She solemnly says as Violet steps in between them.
Violet gives Marcus a death look then turns to face his father, "I can't believe you left this jerk in charge of her." Marcus starts to open his mouth, but Violet cuts him off, "He is mean, violent, and self centered." She turns back to Marcus to see his angered expression. "You are, not once have you done anything to help your sister. You yell at her about everything. Come on look at this place men have been groping her left and right all night long and not once did you say anything to stop them."
"What!" The three teenagers jump as he approaches them. Marcus starts to back up as his father's mad look is directed right at him. "You were supposed to be protecting your sister. I asked you to take care of her and the house. I never told you to let men grope your sister, I never will." His anger is clear as he continues to yell at his son, "I do not want your friends here anymore." He turns slightly and waves his hand in the direction of all of the wild guests, "Get them out of here now."
Marcus starts to speak but soon decides it would be best not to. He turns and starts to walk away from his father towards his friends. Suddenly he stops turns his head slightly towards his father and says, "Sorry, I did not realize she was such a baby. How was I supposed to know she cannot handle telling men to leave her alone, she does it well with me." He jumps as he hears his father low growl, "I will go tell them to leave." He turns and runs towards the party.
Violet looks to her friend and smiles, "Well that made him do something."
Tiffany smiles back and giggles, "Yeah, Daddy has that affect on him." She slowly looks to her father as he gently wraps his arm around her shoulders.
He sighs, "I am so sorry, Baby Girl, I did not realize your brother would treat you like this while I was gone." She welcomes his hug and wraps her arms around his waist. "I will not leave you in his care again, until I know for a fact he is grown up enough protect you." Small tears glide down her cheeks as he strengthens the hug. "Don't cry. Daddy is here now." He softly whispers down into her ear.
"Next time, Daniel, ask me to watch over her." He turns and sees his brother walking towards them. "He really did neglect her. I got phone calls after phone calls from the school and others worried about how she has been acting."
Daniel sighs and pushes Tiffany back a little to look down at her face, "You got in trouble at school?"
His brother jumps in right away as Tiffany starts to shake her head no, "No, not trouble. She has been falling asleep in class, because he throws a party here every night." He sympathetically smiles down at Tiffany, "She has been taking care of everything on her own."
Daniel frowns at his brother's words and then asks, "Is there more?"
His brother pauses to look back to the party guests, who are now leaving in small groups. "Yes, he spends the money on everything but stuff they need to survive." He looks at his brother with a deep sorrow filled expression, "She has gone days without supper, he refuses to take her with him to the store. He buys what he wants to eat and does not get her anything. Once I found this out from Violet, I have been coming over every day to bring her supper or take her out to eat."
Daniel pulls Tiffany back into his arms and grips her tightly as if this would be their last hug ever. "I am so sorry, Baby Girl." His tears flow down and land on her hair as he continues to keep her in his grasp.
Tiffany pulls back slightly to look up into her father's pain filled eyes, "It is ok, Daddy, your back that's all that matters now." He closes his eyes and sighs deeply. She knows what that means, "Your leaving again, aren't you?" She whispers as he loosens his hold on her. "Why?" She shakes her head gently, "It doesn't matter, I want to go with you from now on." His stunned expression keeps her words flowing, "Please take me with you."
He turns to his friends, they all smile and nod their heads in approval. "Well, I guess you and your brother are coming with me this time." He states as his face lightens up with a big smile, "Maybe I will have a talk with Violet's guardian to see if she will give over her guardianship to me."
Violet and Tiffany squeal with delight, Daniel opens his arms for Violet to join them in their family hug. She jumps and grabs both of them as they all cheerfully laugh. She pulls back slightly and looks to her best friend, "Well, that means we are going to be sisters."
Tiffany giggles, "Yup, always and forever." Leaving her father's arms, she turns to fully hug Violet, "Boy, won't Marcus be surprised." They both laugh together as her father walks back to his group of friends. They both look at each other then back towards her father. "I wonder who they are?"
Violet shrugs her shoulders, "I wonder what they are."
Tiffany looks at the others then back towards Violet, "I noticed the glowing, out of this world eyes, when they got here. But I never paid much attention to the other differences of them till now."
"I did not realize this was a costume party." Her uncle cheerfully states as he eyes the new females. "If we need to pick a winner," He pauses as he continues to scan the whole group. "I say the tall warrior women should win."
Tiffany giggles as she lightly smacks her uncle on the arm, "It is not a costume party, Uncle Dustin." Her own eyes journey back to find those same seductive ones staring directly at her." She starts to wonder if the female ever took her eyes off of her. Uncle Dustin starts tapping Tiffany on the back, she turns to find him giving her a dirty smile, as if saying, I know what you’re looking at. But clearly he would never have guessed his niece was eyeing another female. She jolts backwards stiffly as the realization of the matter hits her. Now her mind is going into so many different ways she doesn’t know where to start or stop.
"So, which guy is it?" He finally whispers down to her. "I see that expression, you find something appealing to your little eyes." He chuckles lightly as he continues his teasing words, "Come on, tell Uncle Dustin. I won't tell your father I promise." His grin turns to a full blown smile as he watches her face blossom with a blush.
She shrugs as and turns slowly so that the new guests could not see her blush. "It's nothing." She hears him laugh softly under his breath. "Ok, I will talk." Looking up into her uncle's eyes she finally says, "I wasn't eyeing a man, I was staring at one of the females eyes." She diverts her eyes downward waiting for him to tease her more.
He laughs softly then coughs slightly before he speaks, "Oh, really? Well, they do have some amazing eyes. Did you not notice the males all have the same color of eyes?"
Startled by his words she looks suddenly at the guests. They all do have the same out of this world, blue, glowing eyes. As she scans the group of men and women she comes to find the same female still staring at her.
"It seems to me," He pauses then continues to whisper, "She might have an interest in you as well."
Tiffany gasps at her uncle’s statement then turns to him. "You hush, maybe she likes my eyes too." She solemnly states as he starts to chuckle lightly. “Well,” she grumbles under her breathe. “It could be true.”
His laughter subsides as her father returns. “What did I miss?” She huffs as she gives her uncle a warning gaze. Daniel catches the look, he starts to whisper, “So, Dustin, what did you do?”
Dustin laughs then softly replies, “Nothing.” He looks down to Tiffany then back at her father, “Your daughter seems to have a female problem.”
Tiffany gasps, “I do not.” Her father is now laughing with him. “You two are horrible,” she states as her and Violet turn and race off towards the house. Grumbling under her breath as she runs, “I can’t believe those two.”
Violet beats her to the door, turns and blocks her way. “What did your Uncle say?” Seeing tears start to form at the corner of Tiffany’s eyes, she solemnly steps aside, following her up to her room. Once inside she shuts the door and locks it. Tiffany is now laid out across her bed crying softly into her pillow. Violet sits on the edge of the bed and softly rubs her friends back, “What happened?”
Tiffany says something but it turns out too muffled to hear. Then she shoots up into a sitting position nearly knocking Violet off the bed. “He was laughing at me.” Seeing the confusion in Violet’s eyes she continues to whisper, “I think I may be gay.”
Violet jumps off the bed and stands tall as she shouts, “No you’re not!” She turns and races to the bedroom door. “I am going to kick your Uncle’s butt for telling you that.”
Tiffany pushes the door closed as Violet started to open it. “He did not say I was gay.”
“Then why would you think that?” She leans her back against the door waiting for a reply.
“One of the females in the group keeps staring at me.” Violet starts to giggle. “That not why I think I may be gay.” She leans against the door as well. “I can’t keep my eyes off of that female.” Violet’s giggles increase, she is now holding her hand over her mouth to try to get some kind of control. “Oh yeah, laugh it up. That’s why he was laughing too.”
Violet stops giggling and calmly says, “That doesn’t mean you’re gay.” She ponders on the situation. After a few silent seconds she finally says, “Was it because she is beautiful? Maybe you look up to her? They are all beautiful and tall.” Pushing herself away from the door she adds, “They are not human, so maybe she had a spell placed on you?”
Tiffany’s eyes widen as her friends words finally sink in. “That has to be it. No matter what, I kept going back to her eyes,” she sighs slightly as they walk back over to her bed. “What am I going to do?” Seeing Violet’s eyes question her she continues, “If it is a spell, how do I break it? We are going with them back to their place, remember.”
Violet slumps down unto the bed beside her friend. She grumbles something under her breath then finally says, “Maybe you should talk to your Dad about it.”
“If you haven’t noticed yet, he is their friend. Knowing Dad he will most likely tell me that I’m imagining things.” She lets out a loud sigh then covers her face with her pillow. “What am I going to do?” She finally lets out a moan as if defeated.
A sudden soft knock at her door jolts the two girls to a sitting position.
Another soft knock this time is shortly followed by a very enchanting feminine voice, “May I enter?”
Both girls let out a sharp gasp. It has to be one of the female from the group, everyone else has already left. Tiffany starts to panic as she grabs Violet’s arm and shakes her head no. Violet smiles back and shakes her head yes. Both of them continue this display as another soft knock comes. The female’s voice softly flows into the quite room, “I mean you no harm,” They hear her softly let out a sigh. This time when she speaks it is softer than before, “We need to talk Tiffany. I believe you have misunderstood my intentions.”
Their mouths both drop as the finally come to realize, this is the female they have been talking about. Violet giggles slightly as Tiffany tries to cover her mouth. Her words come out finally, “A miss understanding? What would that be?” Tiffany smacks her best friends across the back while swearing under her breath.
The soft voice from behind the door soon replies, “I am not a female.”
Both girls stop their movements and stare at each other in shock. Tiffany’s question escapes while her thoughts linger on it, “You are not a female?” Violet giggles as she watches her friends face bloom with a blush.
He finally replies, “No. We may look female to you humans, but we are not.” She hears him sigh softly before he continues, “Some of us are both male and female.”
Violet hurries to throw her question in as she watches Tiffany’s mouth start to open, “So which one are you, Male or both male and female?” Tiffany shoots her friend with a dirty look. The kind that says, why did ask that question.
Another sigh comes from behind the door before he finally says, “I am both.”
Both of the girl’s eyes widen as they hear his words. Violet jumps to her feet, “Well, I guess I need to go home to grab my things.” Tiffany grabs at her arm while mouthing the words, please don’t go. “I will be right back.” She opens the door slowly giving Tiffany enough time to drop her arm, “You two can talk alone.” She winks at Tiffany then giggles as she passes the beautiful one in the doorway. “I won’t be long,” she yells over her shoulder as she runs down the hallway.
Tiffany stands very still as their eyes meet. With a drawn out sigh she finally states, “Who needs enemies when you have friends.”
He laughs softly, “She is not trying to hurt you. We do need to talk.” Walking slowly to not frighten her, he enters her room. “I need to tell you some things before we leave for Zoctornyia’s Training Grounds.” Her eyes stare up into his as he continues, “It will be a very different way of life for you there.” He hears her heart race as he takes her hand into his. They both stare at each other for a few seconds before he finally says, “I will help you learn all you need to know. If you ever need me,” he stops as his eyes note her knees growing weaker before him. Gently placing his arm around her waist he helps her sit on her bed. “All you need to do is call my name, Zelectra.” Kneeling in front of her he notes her body is starting to cry out to his. The pull of their bond is making it harder for him to think. Just as he starts to stand a knock comes to the open door. Turning slightly he finds her father standing in the doorway with a smile upon his face.
Tiffany shakes her head slightly as she turns to look at her father. “Daddy, you knew?”
He laughs softly, “I saw the way you two looked at each other. It was obvious that you two are soul mates.” Seeing his daughters eyes widen he continues, “Once we get to Zoctornyia’s Training Grounds, you will come to notice a lot of different species live there.” He approaches them and kneels down in front of his daughter then continues, “I will do the best I can at keeping you happy and safe.” Turning slightly he looks to Zelectra then continues, “So will all of your mates.” He turns back to her and notes her surprised expression. “Yes, dear, you will have more than one mate. We humans have a soul mate of each species.” The surprised expression lingers on her beautiful face, “If this is too much for you to handle, I can ask Uncle Dustin to let you stay with him.” He smiled as his words worked on getting her back to normal really fast.
“No you don’t, you are not leaving me behind any more.”
He sighs and smiles at her, “Then you need to learn to accept their rules as well as their ways of life. We will be living with so many different species that the rules need to be enforced at all times.” She bows her head slightly then looks back to him. His smile widens as he realizes his daughter has finally grown into a woman of strength. “Good, you will do just fine.” He turns slightly to Zelectra, “I think it would be best to leave now.”
Zelectra nods slightly as he lets out a deep sigh. His eyes connect with Tiffany’s once more, than slowly drifts downward to the ground. Sighing yet again before finally stating, “It would be best for me to leave.”
Tiffany goes to protest but her father stops her by placing his hands on her shoulders and holding her steadfast to the bed. Zelectra takes one last glimpse of her beautiful brown eyes before materializing away. Looking back to her father she finally asks, “Why did you make him leave?” Her words sounded more like a cry for help.
Removing his hands slowly, he goes and sits beside her. After a few moments of watching her play with her fingers he finally replies, “The bond is strong between you two.” He eyes the picture on the wall of her mother holding her daughter tight to her breast. “If he stayed any longer the pull would have grown too strong for him to resist any longer.” Looking down at her pleading eyes he continues, “He would have tried to mate you.”
Her eyes widen and a small gasp escapes her lips. “Daddy, you know you can trust me.”
He chuckles softly then returns to look at her in all seriousness, “I know, it is not that I don’t trust you.” Pulling her close to his side he states, “The pull works both ways, dear. You both would have wanted it.” Seeing her protesting expression he gently adds, “It is a soul mate bond. The pull of it becomes stronger as your birthday grows near.”
“What does my birthday have to do with it?”
“Once a female turns eighteen that is when she is officially of mating age.”
“Really? So when I turn eighteen I will have to mate him?”
Daniel swiftly turns her to face him, “No, you do not have to mate anyone if you do not want to. Even if they are your soul mates they cannot force you to mate them.” He pulls her into a warm embrace, “If anyone ever tries to force you.” Pushing her slightly back he looks down into her eyes, “Tell me or one of your other soul mates. Do you understand?” She nods her head and then tightens her arms around him. “Good, now that you know that I feel more at ease with taking you.”
“Violet says we are going with you!” Dustin yells as he enters the room.
“Yes, you two are going with me.”
“Why? I am eighteen, I should be able to make my own choices about the matter.”
“Fine,” He stands and walks over to his son. “What would you like to do? Stay here, get a job, pay the bills, and take care of everything on your own. Or you could come with me and not have to do anything other than go to a school made for all species of five different worlds?”
Marcus stumbles slightly backwards after a few silent seconds he finally asks, “Do I have to get a job and pay school fees?”
His father laughs, “No all you need to do is attend classes and obey the rules.”
“Alright, but if I start getting charged for it I am going to leave a.s.a.p.” He turns and rushes out of the room. Within minutes he peaks his head into the door and ask, “Violet is going to be our sister?” His father nods his head yes. “Great, now I have two seventeen year old sisters to drive me crazy.”
“Look boy, don’t push me. I should be tearing into you right now for what you did to your sister.”
Marcus glides a hand thru his thick brown hair, “Sorry.” As he turns he says, “I will go and pack some clothes.”
“You don’t need to do that. Once there, you will be given stuff to wear.”
“I sure hope it’s nothing like what your wearing.” Marcus sarcastically remarks as he looks his father over more.
“Ha, no you will be giving something much different. I can guarantee that.”
Marcus starts to say something, but then is interrupted by a new guest materializing into the room right in front of their father. His mouth drifts wide open as the new guest turns and nods at him. “Oh, I.... hmm, I think I am going to like this new school.” His eyes dance with desire as he takes in ever little detail of the female figure. “This is going to be fun.”
Tiffany's laughter brings him back down to Earth, looking past the new guest he says, “What? Why are you laughing so much?” She tries to talk but fails as the new guest approaches her bed. Her laughter intensifies as she catches her brother's eyes on the female once more. He is so engulfed in her beauty that his sister's laughs seem to not bother him no more. She collects herself little by little as the beautiful figure stops and kneels in front of her. Her heart stumbles over its own beats as their eyes connect.
Gently placing a hand on hers, the new guest soft voice says, “I am one of your Heart Guardians.”
Her eyes dart up to her father's he nods and states, “Remember we talked about this earlier.”
She recalls all he said. With one long glimpse of the beautiful glowing blue eyes she melts into awareness of the bond. “Yeah, I remember,” she whispers as her mate's hand softly squeezes hers.
“This scene looks so wrong,” Marcus says as he continues to watch the new guest with his sister. “If it was someone else other than my sister,” he pauses as his thoughts drift away to a scene of his own wild fantasies. “Oh that would be great.”
Tiffany’s laughter escapes her as she fights to hold it at bay. “You moron, you have no idea what's going on.” She smiles at her mate as he stands and looks at her brother.
“I am not as I appear to be,” his voice is so much more feminine than her other mate's. It even has more of a seductive pull as he speaks, “I am not a female.”
Marcus' jaw drops, he slowly backs up against the wall. “No way, you’re a guy?”
Her mate smiles then replies, “Yes, I am a male.” Within seconds he is back on kneeling in front of Tiffany holding her hand. “Your sister is my Heart Guardian.” Tiffany's face turns light red as her mate kisses the palm of her hand, while watching her reaction. He smiles back at her as his lips leave her skin. Her palm tingles with anticipation for more. “You are one amazing young woman.” His words turn her into a giggle fest.
Her brother is still leaning against the wall as his father approaches him, “They look good together don't they.”
Stunned by his father's words he turns and says, “You’re ok with this?”
“Yes, why should I not be? Ralavo, is a very powerful Savior. I think he can handle keeping her safe and happy.” Eyeing his son's expression he soon adds, “Remember you can stay here if you would like to.”
Shaking his head while watching his sister giggle at her mate he finally says, “I will go. Please tell me, not all of the females are males.”
“No, their kind are either male or male and female. He just so happens to be male her other mate that had to leave is both.”
“What? So there are no females that are just female at this new school?”
“Yes, but I must warn you. Most just want you for one thing and nothing more.” He feels disgust rising in his mind as he sees his son's smile grow. “There are more important things than that.”
Marcus' smile disappears and he states, “I know that, I am just happy there are females that are not males there.” Both of their laughter stops as another materializes in the room, this one appears to be male. Marcus grins to his father as the male approaches him, “Please tell me that is a male, not a female.”
He stops in front of them and laughs softly. “Yes, I am male.” His head tilts slightly as he notes Tiffany and her mate softly talking. “I see, Ralavo, has found his Heart Guardian.”
Daniel smiles as Tiffany giggles with delight when her mate places a delicate kiss to her cheek, “Yes, and they seem to be doing well.”
His eyes cloud over with deep regret as he continues to watch them.
His friend takes note of his sudden change, “What is wrong Daniel? Ralavo will do no harm to your daughter, he is one of the oldest of his kind. So the pull is not as strong for him as it is with the younger ones.” He continues to watch his friend's face deepen more into depression.
“That is the problem, I had to ask Zelectra to leave.” He sighs deeply, “The bond was pulling to hard at him, even while I was here with them. He was still losing the battle.” Tiffany's new giggle draws his attention back to her, “I feel so bad having to ask him to leave like that.” Pulling his emotions together he finally turns his face to look his friend in the eyes. “Welgor, do you think it will be this way at the school?”
Welgor grins slightly as he speaks, “Yes, she will be eighteen soon. The pull will be strong on the youngest mates, and her as well.” Diverting his thoughts elsewhere he stands in silence for nearly five minutes. His eyes look back to his friend, “It is time to leave.”
Daniel nods as he walks over to his daughter, “Dear.” She giggles as Ralavo places another gentle kiss to her palm. “I see you two play nicely together.”
Ralavo chuckles softly, as Tiffany pulls her hand from his, “Is that not the best way to play?”
Daniel smiles, then looks to his daughter, “Always.” Her blush brightens as her father speaks again, “Everyone is waiting for our arrival, Dear.”
“How do you know that?” He turns to Welgor and says, “He told me so.”
Tiffany has finally noticed the new arrival to the room. “Hey, were did he come from? Wait a minute, when did he get here?”
All of the males look at each other then smile as Violet and Marcus enter the bedroom. “Smiling at each other is not an answer.” Tiffany states as she runs to Violet's side. “Violet, I thought you said you would not be long.”
Eyeing the two new guests Violet finally says, “Well it seems you had plenty of company.”
Marcus chuckles under his breath, “That's not the best part.”
“Really? What did you do now, Marcus.”
“I did nothing but watch,” a evil type grin appears upon his face.
“What is he talking about, Tiffany?” Tiffany’s cheeks flush as she finally thinks about what her brother has said. Violet softly laughs, “Oh this is going to be good, you’re blushing.”
“See the one guy who looks like a woman?”
Violet directs her eyes towards the three other men in the room. “The one to right of your Father?”
Marcus snickers, “Yeah. She is a he.”
Violet smacks his arm, “I already learned that there are men that look like females here.”
“Did you learn that two of them are Tiffany's soul mates?”
Her eyes widen as his words drift through her thoughts. “Wow.” Tiffany is now blushing bright red and keeping her face in their direction, so that her mate and father would not see. They both snicker as Tiffany tries to cover her face with her hands. Violets words come out in a whisper, “You go girl.”
Just as Tiffany reached out to smack Violet a flash of light covers the whole room. They shield their eyes from the bright blast. Violet is the first to remove her hands. Tiffany hears her friends loud gasp. Slowly lowering her hands she finds herself staring into Zelectra's beautiful glowing eyes. Her breathe catches in her throat as their bond pulls at her heart and body. Ralavo walks up beside Zelectra and smiles as he hears her heart beats increase by the second.
Suddenly, someone taps her on the shoulder lightly. She brushes the hand away, figuring it’s just her brother messing with her. Once again the tapping comes to her shoulder. She turns in lightning speed to yell at her brother, but finds herself face to face with someone else. Or should I say something else. She watches as he spreads his wings wide. His hardened expression softens when she starts to step away from him.
“Tiffany.” Violet whispers to her from behind, “You have to check this out.”
Tiffany instantly does a little twirl to see what Violet is so interested in. The air around her seems to be thickening. She starts to feel light headed as her eyes scan the area. A large building stands before them, above the door is a sign. She steps closer to see what it says, “Earth Learning Center.”
Violet and Marcus both laugh as Tiffany goes to enter the building. She turns her face to them, “What are you two laughing........about.” Her breath is drained from her as the tall man looks down at her. Standing only about three to four inches apart, she can feel his body heat rising by the minute. “I am so sorry.” Her voice is crackling slightly as she struggles to gain control of her emotions.
He smiles then leans down and whispers in her ear. “You will never be sorry again.” He blows softly against her neck. “The only thing you will ever need to be sorry for.” The heat of his body starts to increase as his hot breathe continues to tease her neck and ear. She finally hears the ending of his sentence as it caresses her soul, “Is for not being in my arms so that I may please you fully.”
Well that did it, her mind freezes as her body ignites into an eternal flame of wild fire.
