Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 56

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 56 – “Do I need to dress for work, or dress casual?” I ask Cyrus.

“Dress how you want, we don’t care what you where to work as long as you are covered”

“So you won’t care if I rock up to work in my pyjamas then?” I laugh.

“Nope, you get a pass since your f*****g your bosses” Cyrus says.

“I have slept with one of you, not both of you”

“You will, you belong to us Addie and I know you want to” Cyrus says with a sly smile on his lips. I press my lips in a line, grabbing my jeans and a v-neck black shirt. I get dressed and I find Cyrus also wearing jeans and a top. The combination looked almost normal on him besides his large muscular frame, he almost looked human instead of some exotic g*d in his suits. Though I preferred him dressed like this he looked more comfortable.

“P*****t” Eli says behind me coming out of the bathroom behind me. My cheeks heat and Cyrus smirks.

“At first I was upset. I couldn’t read your thoughts, but your body gives you away” Cyrus says, rubbing the blush that spread to my face.

“Wait you can read thoughts”

“Yep, except yours and Eli’s”

“Why not ours?” I ask though I was also grateful.

“Don’t know I think it’s because you’re my mates, I assume it is way to level us out”

“That is part of the reason Eli hates human’s Addie, the chatter is hard for him to tune out”

“So you can read anyones thoughts?”

“If I chose to, though it’s hard not to sometimes when I am in a room full of people it can become distracting, that and their scents also become overwhelming”

“So you want to drink their blood, it never goes away?”

“I have control of my urges but no it doesn’t go away. But being around you has made them less appealing” He says as Eli walks out of the walk-in.

“How so?”

“Because he wants to feed on you, your scent trumps theirs” Eli answers for him making me look up at Cyrus. His eyes flicker red, a smile on his lips.

“Like I said your scent is intoxicating, smells sweet now they smell bland to me”

“So you want to feed on me like you did Eli?”

“Yes, but that would also mean I may mark you”

“If you think I hid something, why not go get it then” I tell him.

“I know you did, but I would rather you own up to it and get it willingly” Cyrus says kissing my cheek and walking toward the coffee jug.

“So what will it be, Addie? Do I have to go find what it is and punish you, or are you going to get it and hand it over” Eli asks. I s*****w suddenly feeling ill.

“I promise if you give whatever it is to me, I won’t get mad” Eli says and I roll my eyes. They already know I hid something so there was no point in arguing with them over it.

I hop off the stool and walk upstairs retrieving it from under the mattress. I look at and see a new message from Sam, saying goodmorning and some kissy emoji.

I relock the screen and walk downstairs. Eli was at the counter and had made coffee and jam toast. He holds his hand out expectantly. I drop the little black phone in it. He looks at it.

“Sam?”

“Yes Sam gave it to mum to give to me” Eli growls, putting it in his pocket. I turn to go to the otherside of the counter when he grabs my wrist tugging me back. My heart skipped a beat. He said he wouldn’t be mad. I gulp fear consuming me when he presses me against the counter, his hands slipping in my hair as his thumbs rub the side of my face. He kisses me softly, pressing his body against mine, his tongue slipping into my mouth as he kisses me. He pulls back.

“You don’t need to fear me, I said you wouldn’t be in trouble and you aren’t, just don’t hide things from us Addie, we will find out” He whispers kissing my forehead. He steps back letting me go and I grab my coffee off the bench, sipping it only to look over and find Cyrus smiling at us amused. I raise an eyebrow at him and he looks away before biting into his toast. “Go sit with Cyrus,” Eli says, grabbing the two plates with toast.

I walk over to the table and sit next to Cyrus who grabs my knee gently.
