Chapter Seven #2
I have a feeling him taking me home is a premeditated choice, but I don't have the energy to think on it too hard.
My extremely long day is starting to catch up to me.
I say goodbye to the others getting a kiss on the cheek or forehead, the sparks following every time, making me smile.
When it's Kai's turn, he hugs me fiercely but making sure still to be careful of my ribs. He tucks his head into my neck.
"Stay safe Beautiful Girl, please?" he almost begs.
My heart stutters.
"I will, I promise to call Kai."
He nods before placing a light kiss where my neck meets my shoulder, just like before the sparks with him are stronger.
Both mine and Kai's knees give way slightly at the sensation.
The only thing that stops us from falling to the floor is the wall behind Kai that he slumps heavily back on.
Pulling me flush against him. My eyes find his, and I'm shocked to see his grass green eyes have darkened with desire that must match my own.
"Holy fuck." I exclaim.
We both start to lean in closer to each other.
Kai's hands landing on my waist and bringing me flush against him.
It's still not close enough. My hands are still wound around his neck and I drag my nails lightly down it.
He shudders and groans low in his throat; the sound sends ripples of pleasure through my body causing my breath to quicken and making me clench my thighs in an attempt to soothe the ache.
Our lips are merely a hairbreadth apart when the moment is shattered by Hunter.
Bringing me unwillingly crashing back to my senses.
Disappointment courses through me but I suppose it's for the best. I have strong feelings for all of them.
I can't choose.
My cheeks heat as I realise, they all witnessed what just happened.
"What the hell just happened?" Hunter questions, although he doesn't seem angry, more confused.
"It seems that the sparks between me and Sage have gotten stronger." Kai explains whilst setting us upright.
I step away from him slightly and even though it's not too far, I feel the loss immensely and have to force myself not to move back towards him.
This is extremely weird.
It's starting to get uncomfortable like an itch under my skin that I can’t scratch. I grab Hunters hand as he holds it out to me and it seems to marginally calm the ache in my chest caused by Kai. Before the ache comes back, I wave quickly to everyone and drag Hunter out the door to take me home.
The drive home doesn't take long, and we spend it learning a little bit more about each other. I learn that his favourite colour is dark blue, he loves pizza and likes working on cars and motorbikes in his spare time. The further away we drive the less the ache in my chest becomes, it’s still there but I don't have the overwhelming need to be close to Kai anymore.
What the hell is going on with me?
All too soon we arrive back at my house. I have Hunter park the car further down the road from the house just in case my mother is still awake.
"You have your phone?" Hunter questions.
A suddenly serious and dark glare etched on his face.
I nod.
"You remember how to use the app?"
"Yes Hunter, Levi showed me how it worked before we left. I'll be okay and if I need you, I will ring. I promise."
"Ok stay safe Sage, Sweetheart.” He leans in and kisses me gently on the cheek lingering a while and making the sparks last longer.
I sigh in contentment before I gather myself. Put my wall back up and exit the car. I turn once to wave at him before I make my way to my house and silently through the door.
I breathe a heavy sigh of relief as I notice my mother passed out on the couch. I make my way quickly upstairs taking a quick shower before locking my bedroom door and collapsing into bed. I send each of the guys a text saying that I'm okay and that I'm going to sleep.
I fall into a deep sleep before I can get their replies.
Kai
"What the hell was that?" Maverick asks me.
"The fuck if I know brother."
"What happened exactly?" Levi asks as Jax just watches silently observing.
I run a hand through my red hair.
"I kissed her and like what happens with all of us, the sparks came but they were stronger, a lot fucking stronger.
So strong they made my knees buckle. It wasn't an unpleasant feeling in the slightest." I scrub a hand over my face, "as soon as she pulled away though I had this incredible need to have her closer to me.
I had to force myself to stay where I was.
It was becoming an incredibly uncomfortable feeling but then she grabbed Hunters hand and the ache dimmed slightly.
The longer she's been gone the more it has lessened.
The ache is still there but it's not overwhelming or uncomfortable anymore. "
They all stare at me in shock and confusion.
"What the hell is going on?" Jax questions Levi.
"I'd like to know too. We all feel the sparks with her, and I don't know about you guys but that has never happened to me before. She knew Kai's middle name and the triplets’ last name. She is supposed to be here with us. With all of us.” Hunter finishes quietly but firmly, having just come through the door whilst I've been explaining what happened.
He's right. I've known since the second I laid my eyes on her that she belonged with me, with us.
How is that possible though?
"Did you notice that the same side that she was hurt is also the same side that we all kept having those strange intense pains and bruises, then having them disappear?" Maverick asks.
"Holy fuck he's right!" I exclaim.
"They're linked, they have to be." Jax adds.
"I may have a lead about what's going on but it's purely speculation at the moment." Levi informs us.
"Well what is it?" Hunter asks impatiently.
"One second, I have to get something first.” He replies.
I shrug as we watch him sprint up the stairs two at a time.
"Anyone want a beer?" I ask.
They all nod and I go to the kitchen to grab them.
I can't stop thinking about Sage. She is on a constant loop in my mind and ever since I first met her, she hasn’t left.
I don't want her to. She makes me feel alive.
She makes my heart beat harder and I get flutters in my stomach when she's near.
She saw me at my worst, and she didn't judge.
She offered me comfort. She helped me. No one has been able to bring me out of my memories when I've gotten that lost before, not even my brothers and we shared a womb.
She managed it though.
She already means the world to me and the feelings that coursed through me when the sparks flared to life earlier were unbelievable.
It took every shred of self-control I possess to stop me from taking her right then and there.
Oh, my fucking God did I want to though.
It didn't help that it was obvious she wanted me too.
I could have punched Hunter for interrupting us but looking back it was probably for the best.
I take a sip of my beer and wander back into the living room.
Wondering what Levi has found. I hand the beers out to the rest of the guys and take a seat on the couch leaning back.
All of our phones go off at the same time.
I sit up quickly pulling out my phone as I panic that something could be wrong with Beautiful.
I smile broadly when I see she's just saying she’s ok and that she's going to sleep.
I send her a text back and notice the guys doing the same all with smiles on their faces even Hunter.
We are all absolutely smitten with her.
I can only hope that it will all work out.
We have no problem sharing her. I know there will be issues, but we will work through them like a family because that's what we are.
I just hope that she likes all of us. I don't want any of my brothers’ hearts to get broken.
I don't want my heart to be broken. She doesn't realise the power she holds over us.
She could break us all. It's terrifying how close we already feel to her and it's only been a few days, yet it feels like I’ve known her all my life.
Levi comes down the stairs holding a large ancient looking book.
Time to get some answers, hopefully.
