Sour Souls The Morningstar Series Book 6
Sour Souls Chapter 53

After Emi and I got out of the bath, I f****d her again. I couldn't help myself. I'd like to say that she started it, just like she did in the bath, but she didn't. All Emi did was snuggle up to me, completely naked. I just couldn't calm down enough. I really tried to though.

It was actually my mate who jumped on top of me. Apparently, my restlessness was rubbing off on her. Emi flung the blanket off of us, and crawled on top of me. She said that if I was going to keep her up anyways, we might as well have some fun. I wasn't going to complain. Not if my mate was going to let me inside of that magical p***y of hers. And I do mean that.

I've been with a few women in my time, but no one compares to Emi. She isn't experienced at all, but that didn't matter in the slightest. Emi is my perfect other half. Even the way she rides me is better than anything I've ever felt.

It makes me excited for our future. To think that I get this every single day for the rest of my life. I can't believe I fought so hard, for so long to not replace her. To not have this. Azai really had the right idea all along. After I made Emi cum a few more times, we finally fell asleep. All so I could take her soul, and fuck her again. At least in this little place, we don't get worn out.

Our bodies are getting the rest they need. Because we are mates, our souls feed off of each other. Which means, that even though we've been doing nothing, but f*****g, our souls are getting rejuvenated as well.

My darkness is unbelievably perfect. I should replace out more about it though. Like if I can do it with other people. If I can control where I take us. Where exactly it is that I take us to.

Those can all be answered in time though.

After Emi woke up the next day, I took her to see the other Banchee's. I stayed with them for a little while. It seems that despite their hate for Morningstar's, they were very excited to meet me. After a little while I left to go talk to Tia. "What is it that you wanted to talk with me about?" I asked my sister.

"Well, I wanted to let you know that during the time that Emi was gone, we found a lot more of the kids that were trafficked. The other leaders, and I have been working together to figure out where they will all go." She said. "Okay." I replied. "Emi will be happy to hear that."

"Yeah well, there are still some that haven't been found. Can't track down Madam Black either." Max told me.

I frowned at the two of them.

"Are you trying to send me out on a mission?" I asked. "My mate just woke up yesterday. I'm not leaving her side right now, and she has classes to get back to." I argued.

"Relax Ares, no one is asking you to go on a mission." Tia said annoyed.

Max smirked at me.

"So, you just called to tell me that you guys made progress then?" I asked confused.

"Well, yes and no." Tia said.

"We want to offer you a job." Max said.

"A job?" I asked.

"Yes." Tia said. "One that will keep you here. With your mate." She said.

"What?" I asked.

Tia sighed. "Look, Max and I have been talking about this since you first brought Emi here. You said she wants to help out with Olive. Do the kid stuff." She said. "I don't think that with time you will want to be away from her. I know that I don't like being away from Max still, and it's been years."

"Okay.." I said. "So, what kind of job are we talking about then?" I asked.

"Maintenance." Max said.

What is that supposed to mean? Rex asked me.

I have no idea. I answered.

"Are you asking me to stay here, and do all of this bullshit ass work for you and Mom?" I asked.

"Yes we are." Max said cheerfully.

I frowned at the two of them. Tia knows how much I like going on missions. I like being part of the BOC. I'm good at it, and it's a very rewarding job. It's what lead me to my mate to begin with.

Tia sighed. "I know you hate doing this kind of thing, but it would be helpful. We might be supernatural creatures Ares, but this is still an ordinary building. Things go wrong all the time. Besides, we could use a new weapons shed. We are also thinking of adding on to the school-"

"These are all things that many of us here could take care of with the snap of their fingers." I interrupted.

Tia shrugged.

"Look Ares," Max said. "That's true. But it also takes a lot of power to do those kinds of things. It's draining, and most of the creatures that can do it have kids. We aren't asking you to help build onto the school. That can be arranged, but we would like you to rebuild the weapons shed. We want you to stick around, and take care of all the smaller things." He said.

"You can even help Ambrose out with training as well. He can use you to help train the newbies, and you can help hold the classes for the students." Tia added.

My eyes went wide as I looked between the two of them.

"None of that sounds like anything I would like." I stated.

"I know." Tia said. "I know that you want to be out in the world helping Ares. Trust me, I get it. I can even still send you out on missions should I ever need it, but.. Ares you have the rest of eternity to do something more with your life. You're an eternal being who can't die. We are offering you this so that you can be close to your mate while she chases her own dreams." She said.

I thought about what Tia said. She is right, I do not want to do this at all. I want to be out helping people. Tia is also right that I have all the time in the world to do something more.

Emi has been doing so good in her classes. Right before she was kidnapped, Azai was telling me that he wanted to start getting her GED tests scheduled. Olive has already been looking into the best online classes for Emi too. Would doing maintenance really be that bad?

We would be close to mate always. Rex said.

That's true.

We would get to be by her side for all of her accomplishments. He added.

Rex is right.

"Okay, I'll do it." I said.

"Really?" Max asked.

I nodded as I stood from the chair.

"It won't be forever, but.. I want to be beside my mate while she reaches all of her dreams. Besides that, I made a promise to Emi when I first found her that she would never be alone again. I won't leave her for any reason." I stated. Tia and Max smiled at me.

"Wow, never would I thought I'd see the day that Ares Morningstar turned soft." Max teased.

I gave him a bored look.

Max fake gasped. "Not even a growl." He teased.

I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up." I grumbled. "I'm going back to get Emi." I said.

"Okay, you start your new job as soon as Christmas break is over." Tia called out as I walked out of her office.

"Yeah, yeah." I mumbled.

I quickly made my way back to the house the Banchee's are staying at. When I got there, they are all outside sitting in the grass. I imagine they want to be outside as much as they can now. After being locked away in that creepy house.

I walked right up to my mate, and reached my hand out for her. Emi placed her hand in mine, and I pulled her to her feet. I pressed my lips to hers in a soft kiss. To which several people are 'Awh'd' us.

Annoying.

Don't be a grump. Emi scolded me through the link.

Everyone should mind their own buisness. I said.

Emi giggled out loud.

I'm pretty sure your little sister's were part of that. She said.

Yeah, I know. That's who I was referring to. I teased.

Emi let out a loud laugh making me smile.

"I want you to come somewhere with me." I said.

"Okay." Emi replied instantly.

My mate turned to the group sitting in the grass.

"See ya guys later." She said.

They all told her good bye. I laced my fingers through Emi's, and started to walk us home. When we made it to my car, I opened the passengerside door, and gestured for her to get in.

Emi raised an amused brow at me as she slid into the seat. I closed her door, and made my way to the driver's side. I pulled out of our driveway, and made my way to town. We were almost to town when Emi broke our comfortable silence. "Where are we going?" She asked.

"It's a surprise." I told her.

Emi gave me a skeptical look, but I pretended not to notice. Just before we were about to enter town, I turned down a side road. Emi is peering out the window as I drive down the road.

After about ten minutes, I turned into a hidden dirt parking lot. I pulled into a space, and parked the car. I watched my mate as she looked all around us. Then her beautiful hazel eyes landed on me. "Chris's Christmas Tree's?" She asked.

I nodded to her.

"How are we supposed to celebrate Christmas without a tree? Same with your new friends." I said.

Emi's face morphed into one of pure joy. The happiness that leaked through our bond is like a giddy little kid. I chuckled at my mate.

"Come on, you can pick any one that you like."
