Fated Hearts

Chapter Two

Cyllenna

There was a knock at the office door. I was quickly looking at my schedule of dancers I need to teach. I looked up from the screen to smile at my dad. “Can I talk to you?” He asked. “Sure.” I nodded. “Do you think you could take on Artemis and Aryan’s training today? Tristan wants me to work with him more on his routine for the upcoming competition and he needs my help with refining some of his hip hop moves.”

“Yeah, I got them.”

“You’re a gem. I would get out there soon. Alera is getting antsy with Chase tending to his triplets with your mum and now Tristan is needing help…” “Okay. I’m coming.” I got up and moved around the desk. I lamented about my competitions this year. I have been distracted by the brothers to the point that it is having an effect. It’s not just me, it is all of us. Thanks to mum’s ability to dance all of us have a natural talent for it. We don’t all compete, but most of my younger brothers and sisters do. It sucks sometimes being the oldest of the thirteen of us kids. Well, fifteen with Aryelle and Arenna. They may be our dad Adrian and our mom Robyn’s twins, but since I technically have five dads and two moms for our family dynamic…

I can’t consider Chase a dad, we are too close in age. I get it that by celestial standards he would in a sense be our dad and that his celestial soul is vastly older than even our mom Tana’s. He still is more of a brother figure to us than a dad. Even though he is the father to our newest brother and sisters. Who knew that not only would our dad give our mom triplets, but that Chase would as well. Hell, dad gave mum twins too. Which I need to get out there. I can already hear Artemis getting antsy to dance.

My sisters were already leading their classes. I’m slacking today, but we have been so occupied with Rami, Adari, and Zabi that I feel like I can barely focus sometimes. It doesn’t help that my dragon wants to have her way with Rami even though they can never mate like that. But any of the brothers look at any of us and our stomachs flip with butterflies.

I pulled my hair up into a quick ponytail and secured it with the scrunchie on my wrist. I love that my sisters and our new baby sisters Kalia and Kinslea share our mum’s hair exactly. Our hair is red on top with black creeping up from the bottom as if black flames are crawling up our hair. However, I absolutely adore that Alera’s hair is the reverse of our mum’s. She had loosened her ponytail and some of her hair was bulging out on the left side of her head.

“Hey Alera, let me fix that for you. Who put your hair up?” “Tristan. Mummy and Chase are too busy.” Alera pouted a little bit. Chase is Alera’s big brother and Aryelle and Arenna are her older sisters. Our dad Adrian fathered all of them. But Alera belongs to our mum Tana. There’s no misunderstanding that Chase is Alera’s favorite person aside from our mum.

I removed the scrunchie and used my fingers to straighten out her hair. “You know that Chase would be with you if he could. He loves you very much still though you may not understand that.” I put my leg out for Aryan to bump him from trying to tackle Artemis to the floor. “Hey, stretch and help your sister like daddy taught you.” Aryan’s only reply was a small grunt before he moved to start to stretch with his twin.

“Why did he have to have babies too?” “You know why Alera. Mummy made him a promise long ago when she was pregnant with my sisters and me. Chase loves mummy as much as we do. They are mates.” “Mummy could have waited.” She complained. I finished with her hair and knelt, turning her to look at me more eye to eye. I held her upper arms between my hands.

“Alera, you are old enough to understand now better what our unique family is. Ask yourself this. How would you feel and how fair would it be if mummy only had us, and you. How sad would daddy Michael, daddy Orien, and daddy Brayon be without Myrri, Jovan, and Sasi. Not to mention daddy Casen being sad that there was no Tristan, Aryan, or Artemis. And how sad would Chase be without Korran, Kalia, and Kinslea now?”

Her eyes started to water. “I don’t want my daddies sad. I don’t want Chase sad. I don’t want mummy sad.” The tears fell as she flung her arms around my shoulders. I hugged her to me. “Yeah, I wouldn’t want our daddies or mummy or mommy sad. Because mommy would be sad just like our mummy. She loves all of us even if mummy gave birth to us.” “I love mommy too. I don’t want mommy sad.” “Okay, so let’s wipe your eyes. You’re a big girl. You have a big family that loves you. So, can we dance now? I want to see how beautifully you dance. You know you remind me a lot of mummy as you dance.”

Alera leaned back and wiped her face and beamed a watery smile at me with pride that I complimented her. Alera does take the most after our mum’s style of dancing and she makes it look effortless. “Stretch.” I ordered her. I looked out across our mum and dad’s dance studio.

I wish that I had a partner like mum had found with dad. I wonder if the brothers would be upset if I looked for a dance partner. I want to be able to attend more competitions solo and with a partner. I want to get more professional dancing gigs. I don’t want it for the money. Our family bleeds money practically. I just want to do what I love the most and that is dancing. I’m still stuck until the year is up with the brothers. Yeah, we’ll probably marry them, but will we live here on Earth or go back to their planet Tebal.

The brothers and my sisters went back to our huge house. I remained behind to clean up and practice some of my routine. I was so lost in my dancing that I almost didn’t pick up on his scent and presence. I opened my eyes, and his light brown eyes assessed me. He smiled. He approached and held his hand out. I placed my hand in his. He took command and moved me around the floor. He spun me and I felt like I was soaring as if I was flying in dragon form.

I let him lead me for a couple more minutes. He dipped me and held my thi.gh to his hip. I could feel the heat of his hand through my leggings. A while ago his touch would have done things to me, but now. It just doesn’t have the same effect as Rami’s or any of the brother’s touches really.

Winn’s mouth was a breath’s distance from mine. I remembered how it was to taste his kisses once upon a time. I was about to tell him to let me up when I felt him ripped away from me. Another pair of hands caught me. I was looking up into Rami’s angered face. His golden eyes looked almost molten, and I wanted to get lost in them. Adari had Winn held up on his tip toes as he glared at him.

“Let him go.” I removed myself from Rami.

“No, he was touching you.” Adari growled in his deep baritone voice. “We were dancing.” I countered. “You were dancing he was ready to defile you.” Rami piped up from beside me. “No, he wasn’t. Dancing can seem intimate like that. Winn and I are just friends.” “Who are these guys?” Winn asked. “Winn, meet Rami and Adari.” I gestured to each of them as I named them. “They have another brother Zabi. They are the triplets our grand uncle sought out to court and woo us.”

“They seem kind of possessive.” Winn remarked. “Well, that is because the brothers are my sister and my mates too.” “Oh. My apologies then. I hadn’t heard. Could you please let me go? I meant no harm.” Adari eyed him and looked at Rami. I swear they are communicating even if they claim they don’t use telepathy.

Adari let Winn go. Winn straightened out his clothes. “Winn, used to dance with me and my sisters when he comes here to stay from Faylinn. His dad Finn is one of my mom Robyn’s most trusted warriors. And before this gets any further out of hand Winn and I dated briefly while I was in high school, but we are not dating, or I guess you could say we don’t have a romantic relationship anymore.” I clarified.

Rami followed me into the changing room. I rounded on him. “You don’t have to be in here while I change.” “Yes, I do. You are mine. Ours. I must protect you.” “Winn won’t hurt me.” “I didn’t say that. I should clarify that I need to be here, so I don’t hurt Winn. I can still smell him on your skin.” There was a small gleam in Rami’s golden eyes as he watched me.

I don’t know how it happened, but Rami had me in his embrace as he gently ran his hand up my neck and across my cheek before ending in my hair. He leaned in and gently sniffed me. My body reacted. My stomach was fluttering as my panties flooded with my desire. Just a touch. A soft touch and I want to push Rami onto the floor and let him brand me with his body.

“You are mine. My precious mate.” His tone was possessive yet as if he would lay worlds at my feet to please me. I ran my hands up his strong chest. I felt his reaction under my fingertips. I raised my hand to cup his head as he was cupping mine. Rami just stared into my eyes. I waited for him to kiss me when I realized that maybe he has never kissed anyone on the lips before. I closed the distance between our mouths.

Our breaths entwined with each other’s. The smell of him I can’t describe because I have nothing to compare to on Earth, but it entices me. There was paper thickness between our mouths. I gently pressed my lips to Rami’s. I felt his body jolt. I couldn’t blame him. Mine felt like I had stepped on a live wire and sent a jolt of an electrical current throughout my whole body.

I moved my lips over his tasting him. I think he may have had some pineapple recently. I darted my tongue to taste his lips better. Rami groaned low in his throat and his hips rocked forward into my stomach. I could feel his hardening d*.ck as it was trapped between us, and Rami instinctively rocked his erection against my stomach.

I took command of the kiss and nipped his lips to make him part them for me. When he did my tongue delved into his mouth and I tasted my mate. I was losing my mind. I’ve been wanting to kiss Rami or any of the brothers for the past two weeks. I was trying to be polite and respect that they are still learning about Earth and acclimating to Earth. There is so much they still need to learn.

Rami’s other hand was grasping at my hip. I reached for it with my free hand. I guided his hand to grip my *ss. Rami didn’t need any further encouragement and he used his hand and the rocking of his hips to torture me in the most sweetly delicious way. His tongue was even thrusting in my mouth in time with his thrusts. I arched my left leg and wrapped it around his hip holding me to him.

The position opened my core more to him. The shaft of his erection began to graze across my cl.*t. I was losing my mind. I wanted nothing between us, no clothes. I wanted Rami inside my body. I was about to suggest we remove our clothes when Rami’s rocks pressed deeper against me. He stilled suddenly and I felt him trembling and shuddering in my embrace.

I wished he had lasted even just a minute more. I could have gotten off with him. I felt the warm wet spot on my shirt. Rami had stopped kissing me and had arched his head back a little bit. He was beautiful like a golden god as his pleasure washed over his expression. It was glorious.

My body heaved against his chest as I tried to get my breathing under control. The molten look Rami gave me as he raised his head to look at me made me want to get lost in the depths of his eyes. I was acutely aware when Adari entered the space. I wiggled out of Rami’s hold as Adari scented the air. “You mated with her?” He seemed confused.

“Uh, no. We… We just kind of made out.” I tried to explain.

They both looked at me confused then. I felt myself blush. “On Earth when a couple kisses and touches but there is not much skin to skin contact, we call that making out. It has many degrees depending on what the couple does during that time. We had our clothes on, but we blew past the milder stages of making out that usually begin with gentle touching or kissing and nothing else to well…” I was flustered.

“You know what. We need to introduce you to some movies. I want you to keep in mind that movies are pretend. Do you have books or stories on Tebal?” “Yes, we have speakers of stories.” Adari confirmed. “Okay, well we have storytellers here on Earth too. Before people learned to read or write that was how history was passed down as well as to entertain people. Many people on Earth write books filled with fantasy and factual content. Some can be a mixture. The fantasy or fictional side of storytelling is usually whatever the writer imagined creating something entertaining to read. Well, when people on Earth learned how to take pictures soon after things called movies came about. It basically means that the pictures move. Many stories especially from books were adapted by actors and actresses into entertaining movies.”

I sighed as they watched me. “You know what just trust me. You’ll like it, but again they are just stories and performed for entertainment. The people play a part, it’s a job for them to make money. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to change.”

I turned and moved into my changing area. I took a quick shower. I wanted to try to finish myself off in the shower, but I don’t think Rami or Adari will have the patience to wait for me to tend to the longing and need Rami just activated in my body.
