Synn felt so cold and then she felt white hot. The heat around her almost singed her back. But that wasn’t what had her so gone. The taste in her mouth was so lovely. It was like a fine wine that rolled over her tongue freely. She was sure it was a dream. Her heart didn’t pound in her head but it was instead a beautiful flutter, not the normal tramp of a drum, no, this was a feathery, steady movement of her body’s blood throughout her. Blood. That’s what this is, Synn thought to herself. Her eyes opened wide and she looked right into a sea of blue canopied by medium length blonde hair. God, he was so exquisite, Synn would have lost her breath if she could have breathed. She felt her grip tightened on his wrist and the male’s head fell back. Perfect. That was the only word to describe how he looked. With his mouth open to gasp his fangs elongated and his necked corded. As his golden hair fell back she knew she wanted his mouth on her. His fangs in her. A growl bellowed low from within him and it vibrated along her back touching every part of her with an electric current that made her body want him even more.
“Synnister?” His breath was gone and he was trying his best to find it. Synn’s eyes closed and she reached out with her senses. His breath, his blood, his heart and even his skin was all alive with hunger. He wanted her so badly that amongst her pulling at his vein, with the slightest touch she slide her tongue from side-to-side. His body stiffened and instantly his eyes were back on her. “Synn?” The male’s breath was heavy, “Can I call you…Synn?” With their gaze locked on each other Synn nodded and with a few more draws of his blood she let go. Her hands dropped to her sides and as much as she didn’t want to her eyes closed on their own volition.
After an hour she woke up in a strange bed. The room was a dark. The walls were a dark gray trimmed in black and white except for the large TV and insane DVD collection. Talk about an infatuation with Godzilla. If this was a guest room how did the brothers’ rooms looked? The large bed made Synn feel like she was miniature doll. The four-post bed was canopied by heavy suede gray drapes. She almost felt like she was in a cocoon. The duvet was so fluffy that it resembled a stormy cloud. When she sat up she noticed her clothes were gone and they were replaced by a large v-neck tee that cut too low. The lack of no bra sunk in and she quickly caught the collar and clutched it tight. When Synn turned to her right there was a tray of food on the nightstand. Fruit, cheeses, juice, and what appeared to be a chicken sandwich. Synn sniffed the air, yep, chicken. She felt new in a way. Her vision was totally better than before. The small dust mote danced around the lamp beside her. She could hear the trickle of water from what she suspected was the bathroom. Her heart fluttered to a lovely steady rhythm and she smiled.
“Hello.” There was a knock at the door and it opened before Synn could clear her dry throat to say ‘come in’. Her father walked in with her mahmen in tow.
Dhemonic gave a sorrowful smile and Tehriny hurried to her daughter’s side. “Oh love, are you okay?” All of Tehriny’s mahmen’s instincts came to the forefront. She fiddled with Synn’s hair. Checked her eyes, face, and even went as far as to peep through the collar of Synn’s shirt as her daughter fought her off.
“Mahmen, please.” Synn’s voice was raspy and she reached over for the juice and continued to fight off Tehriny’s worry. She took three large gulps and a deep breath.
“Let me see.” Tehriny’s hands caught Synn’s face and her thumbs and forefingers parted Synn’s lips. The gaspes and smiled.
“What?’ Synn tried to say with her mahmen’s hands in her mouth tapping her teeth. She finally waved Tehriny away, “What is it? What’s wrong?” Synn’s eyes went to her father as he walked over with a sterling silver hand mirror.
“Look my darling. Look at you now.” Synn had never seen her father’s face so elated. It was like his smile was put there and he would never be able to remove it. She took the mirror and all her breath left her.
“Whoa” Synn looked at her face that had changed a good bit Her dark and almost black brown eyes were now a swirling milk chocolate. Her skin was had a bronzed glow and it was even smoother than before. But what made all the air leave her lungs were the two dagger-like fangs that protruded from her full-lipped mouth. They were lightly pinching into the peach colored lip below. Then Synn smiled. A full mouth of pearly whites and two fangs. She laughed and so did Dhemonic.
“You are so beautiful Synn.” Tehriny pulled Synn into her embrace and held her tightly.
“She sure is.” A male voice said with such adoration. Dhemonic turned around and Synn and Tehriny looked around him for the owner of the low deep tone. Synn felt something spark her. She had heard that voice before. The male stepped into her line of sight and her jaw dropped.
“You look good, little warrior.” Rhage smiled. The brother was so tall he was a few inches taller than Dhemonic. “I see you have not eaten.” He uncrossed his arms and pointed over to the food on the tray. “You really should eat.”
Synn closed her mouth and then lowered her stare, “What brings you here?” Her eyes lifted and caught right into his sapphire blues.
He winced, “I came to check on you and see how my donation fared you.” Rhage lifted his already healed wrist and he only half smiled. “I just…wanted to make sure you were okay. That’s all.”
“Well thank you.” Synn spoke softly and she could have sworn she felt him. Felt him in and around her. He was so sexy. The way the black shirt hugged his large broad chest and the black leathers grabbed at his thighs. Just that sight alone had Synn losing her breath again. Her body heated and she turned the glass up to her lips. Breahting in sharply Synn nodded and spoke, “Again, thank you warrior. I must find a way to repay you.”
“Oh no!” Rhage was shocked at the females gesture. He did not want anything from her except for maybe…
“Synn, we must get you home.” Dhemonic snatched the attention of them all. “You would feel better in your own bed.” Synn was not sure why but as her father said those words he kept his eyes on the male.
“Oh but surely she should eat first.” Rhage sounded too eager. He wanted her to stay longer. Just long enough to ask her to join him for…anything it didn’t matter. If she would just sit there and look just like that he’d be all too satisfied. Her scent was all in his bed and he’d be damned if those were changed. Ever! He rushed over, took the tray and set it across Synn’s lap. “If you don’t like any of that I can get you more.”
Synn saw his eyes sparkle and that heat crept back over her again. Why was he getting to her so? She nodded, “This is fine.” He voice was low and smooth. A growl came from Dhemonic as he stared at Rhage’s antics to keep his daughter here.
Tehriny’s smile at the male trying desperately to cater to her daughter was cut short when her hellren started to become irritated. “Dear warrior we would not want to take up this room when there is someone that may need it.” She placed her hand on his arm and gave him a humbled stare.
Rhage straighten, “It’s no problem. I took a few things down the hall to another room.” He smiled coyly and ran his hands through his bright locks, “I thought…” He paused, “I just thought she’d feel a bit better in a room that felt more like a room and not a stale area that is rarely used. I brought her here after she fed the second time and I slept in the guest room.”
Synn choked on the melon and coughed till her eyes watered. After her mahmen patted her on the back she found the words, “This is…your room?” Her eyes widened and then she felt glued to the very soft sheets.
Rhage nodded and smiled shyly. Something told Synn that he was not used to this kind of interaction because even though he was so nice and so sweet he looked nervous as hell.
“Still all the more reason to get you home.” Dhemonic ‘s voice was deep and firm. He suddenly held Synn’s duffel from training in his hands. “We’ll just get you home now.” Again he stared at Rhage when his words bit a little hard towards the warrior.
“Of course.” Rhage nodded with no sign of fear or of any anger. He respected the former warrior and was shaking the entire time he stood across from the male. There were stories about Dhemonic and how he would fight. The male that killed a house full of lessers and got out by the scrape of his fangs had a daughter. This female, Synnister, was his young, a warrior just like her father, Rhage could see it. Even the day he tried to play off his want for her in the gym he knew she was a warrior. God, he wanted to talk to her, if just for her to yell at him he’d take whatever he could get. She was so stunning with her fangs poking her bottom lip and Rhage only wished he could have them in his neck.
“What’s that smell?” Synn sniffed the air and smiled half closing her eyes. “Smells like cinnamon and funnel cake.”
The female licked her lips and Rhage froze. If she smell it… He glanced down at Tehriny who was all smiles and then over at Dhemonic who no where near smiling at anything in this lifetime. Rhage felt the anger from the male and stood his distance.
Synn saw Rhage’s smile dim and after nodding to her and her parents he went over to the door.
“Warrior?”
Rhage stopped and turned around to her, “Yes.”
With a little smile Synn inclined her chin, “Thank you.”
“No problem just be careful with yourself, Little Warrior.” He opened the door and left.
“You should not have treated him in that manner.” Tehriny stood and gave Dhemonic a horrid glare. “He was only being a male. Our daughter is a beautiful female how could he not want to be with her.” She took Synn’s clothes from the bag and lay them atop the bed.
“That’s what I’m afraid of.” Dhemonic says with a sarcastic chuckle. “He’s too much of a—“
“Don’t you dare say that around me.” Synn’s mahmen’s eyes went dark. “You were no innocent one when I met you either.”
Dhemonic smiled at his win, “Exactly, so I know what he’s capable of.”
Synn waved her hand to grasp her parents’ attention, “Uhh can someone tell me what is going on? I assume you’re talking about me so I think I should know right?”
Tehriny started, “Well…
