Sinn could almost feel the tenseness in the library even before she opened the door and stepped inside with Mel. Most of it was coming in waves off of Marcus and Eric though as they paced around. Seeing Mel, Eric abandoned his pacing and moved to greet her as Sinn sat on the arm of the couch next to Yoanna who was watching Ella nursing Aimee.
Tilting back her head, Yoanna accepted Sinn’s gentle kiss. Placing a hand on Sinn’s leg she ran her nails lightly over the inside of her thigh.
“Okay, you two are reasonably calm and Marcus looks like he’s about to blow a fuse… what happened with that call?”
“Ella and I are mulling things over waiting on you, and Marcus is tense because of where the call came from.” She lay her cheek against the hand Sinn ran over her shoulder as she watched the big man stalking around, his body bristling with anger and frustration. “England, what they did, what they still do, does not

Cutting the connection and turning off the TV, Ella sat back on the couch and looked around at everyone as Mel and Eric moved from behind the couch to sit closer. “So, what do we think?”Eric ran a hand around the back of his neck as he tried to take in the logistics of accepting even that depressingly small number of Vampires into their home if that was what they wanted or needed. “To paraphrase ‘Jaws’… we’re going to need a bigger house.”“If we trust them within the mansion that is.” Marcus held up a hand before Ella could even think to protest. “Ella, I want them out of there and safe too. We all do. But! I hate to say this… They have known a different life than us. To them, anything different is something to be distrusted and they will be going from a closeted lifestyle to one far removed from that no matter where they live. They will have to get used to trusting Humans, Werewolves, each oth
Moving her head just enough to evade and not throw herself off balance, Sinn felt the air brush past her cheek as she moved in under the foot aimed at her head and tried to sweep Yoanna’s other leg out from under her while she was still following through with her kick.With just about anyone else it was a move that would have worked but catching Yoanna off balance was never easy at any time let alone while they were sparring in the gym. Instead of leg, Sinn’s attempt met with thin air as Yoanna let her move carry her over and Sinn nearly caught her other foot to the head instead.Grabbing a handful of popcorn from Ella’s bag, Mel sat down and watched as the two women sparred at a blistering pace that was almost too fast to keep track of. “Damn, Sinn’s gotten faster.&rd
From where she lay on the bed, her back propped up against the mountain of pillows, Yoanna watch as Sinn towelled her hair dry. Every move highlighted the muscles in her back and arms and had Yoanna’s eyes following their motion and the lines of them. She also discovered a hitherto unknown hatred of towels… in particular, the one that was wrapped around Sinn’s body and blocking her view. It was a hatred she realised she must have vocalized in some way as Sinn’s motions with the towel paused and she saw the sparkle of her green eyes from the curtain of her hair as well as a knowing smirk that told Yoanna that Sinn knew just what her moves were doing to her.If it wasn’t for the delicious ache already settled into her muscles from their vigorous workout and even more vigorous show
“I’ll talk to you later then?” tossing Caleb his shirt, catching the sweat-soaked towel he threw back her way over his shoulder with a grimace, Sinn ushered the big man out of the cabin with more haste than was considered polite anywhere in the world. It was necessary though as even though the sun was up and blazing brightly, she could feel a storm coming towards them. Though this storm was beautiful and blonde and could probably do more damage than ten category five tornadoes touching down at the same time if the mood struck her. Rounding the corner of the cabin, Caleb wiped at the sweat already beading his chest again with his shirt. “Whoa!” Pulling up short, he fell back against the wall of the cabin to avoid barrelling into the figure that had appeared in front of him. “Oh hey, haven’t seen you around in a while.” Caleb swallowed nervously as Jo lowered his shades with a finger and looked him up and down like he was seriously considering ripping his arms and legs
Sinn winced a little and moaned as she pulled her t-shirt back on. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yoanna grin and knew she had seen the way her hips had moved against the edge of the bed.Walking over, Yoanna parted Sinn’s knees with her own so she could stand between them. Reaching out she moved Sinn’s hair aside and ran the tips of her fingers over the livid bruise spreading from the twin puncture wounds over her pulse point. The wounds and bruises caused by their passion always took Sinn a little longer to heal but unless it was vital that she do so, Sinn preferred it if she didn’t heal them for her. Yoanna smiled as Sinn’s fingers traced over the bruise and teeth marks on her own throat. She hadn’t broken the skin but she had bit harder than usual in the heat of passion and with her encouragement.Cupping Sinn’s face, Yoanna kissed it all over and rested their foreheads together. She felt whole again but the memory of how
Ella sighed in relief as she heard the familiar sound of Sinn’s motorbike roaring towards the mansion. “Next time I’m having the engine taken off that thing too,” she grumbled as she made her way to the library window to watch them pulling up.“Ahh, well,” Mel laughed as she moved to stand beside her friend. “From what Eric said it wasn’t even Sinn’s doing this time. Yoanna made them put it back together and who would want to argue with either of them but especially our Queen?”Leaning against Ella’s side, she stroked the softness of Aimee’s cheek as she watched Sinn and Yoanna climb off the bike. Just the sight of them and their obvious good mood, even if Sinn did seems to be wincing as she got off the bike, released a knot inside she hadn’t been aware of and she felt Ella’s body relax too. “We knew they were okay,” she assured her. “I’m glad they’re back
Sharing a smile with Ella and Sinn, Yoanna looked down at Mel. She was lying on her back on the couch, her head propped up on her lap while she slept peacefully. As with the night before, Yoanna had been the last of them to try using her powers to control and her emotions and calm Mel enough so she could change asshewanted and not how she was forced to.Yoanna had questioned why she was picked to go last so she could better understand what was going on. Simply it was because she was the most powerful of all of them and Sinn wanted her strength of power and control to rely on in case Mel was too tired to control herself by then.When it came to hers and Ella’s, Sinn saw them as fairly similar in strength but her own she saw more as a hammer, all raw barely guided strength and Ella’s like a scalpel.Personally, Yoanna thought that Sinn was selling herself short and Ella’s expression said she felt the same. Rather than a
