Mike was true to his word, and I rested in his arms, burrowing my face into his broad chest. I felt Zach settle against my back, his warmth comforting despite what had just happened. It was, thrilling, in a way I hadn’t thought it could be. Fighting him, or rather fighting him for the right to dominate me had been sexy, hot, and some sort of wonderful. He had proven himself, not that I wouldn’t have let him anyway but something about the battle of wills turned me on. I would yield to him, but not always easily, and the thought excited me. I was curious though, to see what Mike would do, if anything. We had been intimate several times more than I had been with Zach and he was always tender and loving. I heard the TV flick on and the boys talking quietly, while my mind drifted to other thoughts.Zach, and his dominating aura even out of the bedroom. My broody mate had a definite Alpha air about h

After a bit of searching, we found the Elder sitting in the sun, a smile on her face and her robe draped on the ground. I had to giggle a little bit, as one of the all-powerful Elder’s had ditched her robe, was sitting on it, and currently sunning herself. I hated to interrupt her during a moment of well-deserved peace, but we did need some answers. Her silver-streaked brown hair was behind her shoulders, gently blowing in the breeze, her head was tilted up toward the sun, a small smile on her lips. Her eyes slid open slightly and she was already looking directly at us, so much for stealth.“Come here” she said gently, patting the ground next to her. “We are sorry to bother you” I said, taking a seat in the grass. “We just had some questions.” “I see that y

Zach didn’t speak to me the whole way back, if anything he was cloaked in nervous energy. I wanted to ask him about what had happened in the prison, but fought the urge, knowing how he was and chances were he was dissecting the whole interaction in his mind. I was dying to know who Jason was, but I also knew to give Zach space and time, and that Mike was clearly involved. It was possible he wanted to speak to him first before saying anything to me, which while annoying was in line with how he was. I knew him well enough to know his mind was going a million miles a minute, and that when he had worked everything out to his satisfaction I would be informed. Something that did not thrill me, but that was not a battle for this moment in time; that much I understood. We got back to the house and Mike was nowhere to be found, the bed made and the dishes that were in the sink had been done and put away. The image of Mike naked save for an apron and scru

MIKEIt had been about a week or so since we had discovered our powers, or, I guess I should say; they discovered us. Not going to lie, being able to light things on fire was awesome, even better was it only burned what I directed it to. I hadn’t known to control it, just naturally happened. When the flames sparked on the trees, I willed them not to burn, they had not. I had been playing with this and learned that the flames were an extension of my will, and I could burn or simply protect in a sense, as when my flames enveloped but did not burn, anything that threatened the object they were on would be burnt to a crisp. CeCelia had been the one who discovered this as my flames were hanging out on a tree while I was practicing, she decided to toss her coke can into the mix, just to see. Boy that thing went up in flames and before we could even register what happened it was gone, like the fire had eaten it. That had been a

Several weeks laterWe had all but mastered our powers with the help of some assistance by our respective Gods. Gaea was the Earth goddess, she assisted me in mastering the wind, healing the Earth and command of all things natural. Things like flowering plants, healing the barren soil, all were within my powers. The wind was also under my command, and I could use it like a blade if need be. I had worked hard to hone that ability so that when I wielded it, it was like being cut with the sharpest knife. Mike was under the sun God, Helios’ power, able to manipulate light and fire. Thankfully, he was able to control what the fire burned and did not burn. With light he was able to shine light in the darkness, almost like a torch. However, it also provided him with the additional sense of clarity in that he was able to see things others could not through visions of the near future. He had no control over what he saw or when, bu
