“
How are we going to catch Adrian
Father?” I asked.

“
I'll send Celeste and a crew over
there to keep watch. And another crew will be stationed around the
area waiting for his next move. Don’t worry Son, he wont get the
chance.”

“
Thanks Father. Please send Celeste
over soon.”

“
She’s leaving now. Celeste is more
then happy to be of use,” He said chuckling.

“
Yeah, that’s Celeste for you.” I said
grinning.

After speaking to Father I sat in the
bedroom waiting for Faith to get out of the shower. She stepped out
of the bathroom a towel wrapped around her. Turning my head I heard
her giggle.

“
I'm going downstairs,” I said, making
a dash for the door.

Having been away for awhile, I was
struggling with temptation. Not just her scent but the desire I
felt for her. I knew I had to keep my mind focused on the task at
hand and not worry about little matters.

Faith ran downstairs after me.

“
What’s wrong?”

I peeked over at her. “Just please get
dressed Love. I can’t focus on what…I uh… Err,” I said, stumbling
over my words.

She laughed and ran back upstairs.

Punching the side of the sofa, I despised
feeling weak again as though I was a human with the mind of a
teenage boy in high school. My thoughts consumed with lust and it
wouldn't go away.

I stepped outside to meditate. Trying to
focus my mind to where Adrian could be. I still couldn’t hear his
thoughts, or smell his scent. But I realized that Faith dreaming up
Adrian's future actions was because he was near. Going back inside
the house Faith sat on the sofa watching television.

“
Better?” She asked, pointing to the
baggy clothes she wore.

“
Thanks Love. I’m sorry.”

“
Don’t be. You need to focus and I
don’t want to be a distraction. I’m the one sorry.”

Walking into the kitchen, I opened the
refrigerator to pull out some meat. Cutting the raw steak into
pieces, I popped a few into my mouth until I was full. Faith walked
up and watched me. “Is it really good?” She asked, biting her
bottom lip.

“
I can't talk and chew,” I said,
choking on a piece of meat.

“
Sorry,” She whispered. I
chuckled.

“
Why do you tease me?” I asked
curious.

“
I don’t mean to. I mean, I guess I’m
the same as you. You just can't help being you. Can’t we just… you
know. get it over with? All of this tension would
disappear.”

I held the counter top tightly, closed my
eyes and exhaled. “Please don’t tempt me. Your making this
extremely hard. I have to restrain myself to this damn counter so
not to launch at you.”

“
Well, I mean, it would be easier… if
you would just give in.” She watched me as I bit my lip. My
expression pained. I leaned over. “You really want to knowing the
state I’m in? It wouldn’t be as you imagine. Not romantic, or
lasting for that matter. And if I hurt you or somehow made you
bleed… it wouldn’t be pretty,” I said, gritting my teeth. Trying to
explain my frame of mind in that moment.

Walking around the corner she pressed her
body into mine. “You can control yourself. I’ve seen it. I want
you. I don’t want to wait forever. Don’t you want to satisfy my
needs too?”

“
Please, don’t do this… Not now. I
already know the outcome I can see it.”

“
Then promise me soon. I mean there
are other things…”

I read her mind. “Okay, maybe the other
things. But it has to wait and I’m only agreeing to maybe try it
out. If I feel the need to stop, don’t try to force it. Being a
delicate situation, you would have to remain completely still. But,
can you promise me something?” I asked, annoyed that I was agreeing
to try foreplay knowing it could end badly.

“
What do you want me to promise? I
will do anything,” She replied.

“
Stop… tempting me. Just until I see
you're safe and I’m out of this frame of mind. It makes it harder
for me to think about anything else but that and I need my mind for
this love.”

“
Okay. I promise. As long as you keep
yours.”

“
I told you. We will attempt it as
soon as all this is done with but no guarantees it will be as
satisfying as you may think.”

“
I’m sure it will be amazing,” she
said smiling now. She turned around and sat back down on the
sofa.

The crew showed up at the house after a few
hours. Father sent Celeste, Nick, Howell, Cesar and Vanessa.
Celeste and Vanessa ran up to hug me. I heard Faiths thoughts when
I hugged Vanessa back. Immediately I turned around and introduced
them. “Love, this is Vanessa my good friend. Vanessa my true love
Faith,”I said proudly, putting my arm around Faith. Vanessa hugged
Faith then jumped back. I shook my head. “I told you,” I said,
laughing.

Faith glanced at us. “What do I need to take
another shower or something?”

My laugh echoed the room. “The opposite
Love, you smell good, maybe you should roll around in mud.” She
giggled and slapped my arm. I picked Faith up, giving her a peck on
the lips.

The guys stood against the back wall. I put
Faith down and walked over.

“
What?” I asked. They smiled and let
me read their minds. “Ah, yeah same for you guy too? It will pass
the longer you’re around her.”

“
Dude she’s smoking hot!” Cesar said.
I punched him in his gut.

“
Hey! Don’t be making moves on my girl
man,” I said, as I heard the rest of their thoughts. I chuckled.
“Nah, she’s not into that. Plus there’s no hope. She’s taken, get
over yourselves.” I blocked them out and they started
laughing.

I introduced the rest of the crew to Faith.
Happy that she was meeting some of my close friends. “So, you're
the ones giving Daniel shots making him pass out?” Faith said,
laughing. They all laughed at me. I put my head down.

“
Yeah, he’s pretty weak if you ask
me!” Howell shouted.

“
Oh Yeah, am I dude?” I asked, slowly
inching towards him. Howell and I wrestled around as the girls
watched and laughed at us. Finally pinning him down he called
truce. “Alright guys! Enough of the shits and giggles. We need to
get to work,” I shouted getting everyone together.

We decided Howell and Cesar were going to
keep watch for the first eight hours, then we would rotate.
Outside, I pointed them to the areas they could hunt when they got
thirsty. Howell and Cesar brought some blood with them and thought
it would last them awhile. “That’s not going to last long though
and you know you guys might be here awhile. I don’t know when
Adrian will show but expect an extended stay.”

“
Well, when the other crew arrives
they’re bringing more with them too,” Nick said. “Yeah. That’s true
but if we run out I have plenty of meat and there’s plenty of deer
to chase,” I replied.

“
Oh also, we will need to divide it up
so you guys can get plenty of sleep. There will be three at a time
sleeping. When they wake, the next three can come in and rest up,”
I said. They agreed.

Caesar and Howell took off to make their
rounds and Nick took watch outside in the woods. While Celeste and
Vanessa came back inside with me. I sat down next to Faith and
started remembering back when all of us guys would do state watch.
Most of the time we had a blast. We would fool around then get back
to work.

Once, Nick and myself went North when Caesar
and Howell went East. Nick thought he noticed a scent of a hunter,
we both got spooked. When we tracked the scent it was just a coyote
in the woods. I never let him live that down. But his tracking
abilities since then have been sharp.

When we were kids I couldn't keep track of
who was who when Caesar and Howell were around. They were
identical. Both had bright blond hair and blue eyes. One day when
we were out playing as teenagers, the sun came out earlier then
expected. Knowing we would soon blister, we made a run for it
trying to make it back to the castle. But it was too late. We all
blistered but none more so then Howell. A blister the size of a
golf ball was on Howell's neck. When we got back to the castle it
suddenly burst, leaving a decent sized red scar. After that, it was
easier to tell the brothers apart.

Their Mother Selena told me a story about
almost dying having them. They were twins and tried coming out
early. My Father had to give her special medicines to make sure she
didn't have Howell and Caesar early. A Few weeks later without
warning they popped out. But Selena, was deathly ill afterward. She
was taken to the healers immediately and within a few days she was
cured.

It's rare for ill-suens to have twins but it
happens. But when It does, usually the mother or the infants die.
Howell and Caesar were very lucky. But, I'm grateful for the two
best friends a man could ask for.

Looking over, I noticed Faith giving Vanessa
this look, as though she glared at her. I moved closer to her.
“What’s wrong love?”

She smiled. “Nothing. I just hate that you
guys have to do this… Just for me.”

“
It’s better this way. No one wants
Adrian to interfere with the process and I want you
safe.”

She smiled looking down at her hands.

“
There's something else. What is it?”
I asked.

“
It’s nothing really,” She said,
glancing up at me.

“
You can’t lie to me remember? I know
there’s something wrong and it sucks that I can’t read all your
thoughts. yet,” I smirked.

“
No. Actually that’s a good thing,
really.”

I shook my head. “Okay. Just tell me,” I
said.

“
Was there something
between--?”

“
No. No, Love. Never. Why would you
think that?”

She let out a laugh. “Well, I’m a girl and I
notice things. From other girls. I know that look.”

“
She’s my best friend Love and she’s
never. and I’ve never. it has always been innocent. As far as her
feelings, well I don’t read into them. That’s not my business,” I
said trying to reassure her.

“
She does. I can tell,” Faith said,
glaring over at Vanessa again.

I shook my head. “Okay, well… There’s
nothing I can do about that but please just be nice,” I said,
holding her hand.

“
As long as she plays nice,” she said
smirking.

“
You’re so feisty,” I said
laughing.

She lifted a brow. “I can be.” She pulled me
into her and kissed me. I didn’t pull away but I had to resist
again. Closing her eyes she put a mental image in my head
purposefully.

“
Damn it. Please be good,” I reminded
her.

She giggled. “I am.”

Getting up off the sofa I ran upstairs. I
went to the bathroom and splashed my face with cold water. Glancing
at myself in the mirror, I looked like hell. I undressed and hopped
in the shower. The scolding hot water seemed to relax my tense
muscles. I dropped my head letting the water work it's magic on my
neck. Almost dozing off, I heard the shower door. Opening my eyes I
lift my head up and Faith was standing in front of me.

“
Faith.” I whispered.

“
Yes?”

“
Girl, you're going to be the death of
me. I hope you know.”

Turning around I tried to get her naked body
out of my head.

“
What in the world has gotten into
you…?” I asked, wondering why she was acting so crazy.

“
I don’t know,” she said, wrapping her
hands around me from behind. “I just want to try
something.”

I stood still. “Faith, you know this is
dangerous. Do you have a death wish?”

“
I need to be close to you and I want
to help release your stress before you set out for your little
adventure,” she said, placing her hands where no one had ever
touched me. I trembled as she played with me. “Relax,” she
whispered in my ear.

I couldn’t resist any longer. Her hands were
magnificent. Each stroke of my shaft sent me into a frenzy and the
pleasure was intoxicating. My moaning grew louder but I didn't
care. I felt as if I would explode any second as my body convulsed.
Turning around I placed my arms around Faith and kissed her deeply.
Snatching her up, she wrapped her legs around my waist. I placed my
erection on her clitoris, gently sliding it up and down. Faith
started to moan and shake with pleasure. As did I. It only lasted a
few minutes before I erupted. I couldn't stand on my feet any
longer. My legs felt as though they would buckled under me.
Dropping down to my knees I laughed at how ridiculous I must have
sounded, and knew everyone probably heard the whole thing. The
noise I let out was embarrassing, but I couldn't help it, since it
was my first time climaxing with a girl.

“
You… Get to?” I asked Faith, curious.
She nodded and smiled. “You just wouldn’t let up would
you?”

“
You didn’t seem to mind,” she
said.

“
Nah. I wouldn’t take it back either.
That was intense. I never knew the pleasures that awaited me…” I
said, dumbfounded. “Fuck!” I yelled.

“
What?”

I shook my head. “That was amazing but… now
it will be stuck in my head while I try to work.”

“
Sorry…” she whispered.

“
Don’t be,” I said,
winking.
