Sour Souls The Morningstar Series Book 6
Sour Souls Chapter 55

The last few months have been heaven for me. I don't think I have ever been this happy before. Hell, I'm not sure I have ever felt happiness a day in my life compared to this.

I'm actually very happy that I took Tia and Max up on their offer to stay here, and do maintenance work. I don't really like doing it, and there isn't much to do. It keeps me busy enough though, and I guess I'm happy to be usefull.

I even built a playground for the kids. It's for all the kids here. Even the little ones that live on the territory, but don't attend the school. Ambrose actually helped me build it. It was a fun project to work on with my older brother. And the kids really love it. I kind of can't believe that we didn't already have one. There have always been tons of kids here. Even my siblings and I grew up here. No one ever thought to do this before?

The Banchee's also seem to be doing well. Luca and Uma are burning a damn hole in my pocket at least. Good thing I come from lots of money.

The ones that stayed behind are doing well too. Jack joined the BOC, and Ambrose said that he has some promising skills. Anna has been helping out in the school any way that she can. Mostly in the kitchen.

Mei seems to be the one having the most issues. After I asked Bianca to talk to her though, things have been looking up. I see her try to come around more, even if she doesn't talk. Bianca and I have been taking turns checking on Mei. Just to let her know that she is always welcome to leave the house to join us in whatever it is we're doing.

I just left my mate at home. It's Sunday, and I thought I would have the day off. I even planned to spend the whole day in bed with Emi. Naked.

That didn't work out though. In the middle of eating breakfast with Emi, and Tia was already mindlinking me. She wants me to repair a few of the basketball hoops, and then I have to install the swings for the playground that came in yesterday.

On my way to the school I saw Mei sitting outside on the front porch. She's alone though, which is strange. It's Sunday, so Anna should be there.

I walked over to the porch. Mei's head snapped up from a book in her lap once she sensed me apporaching. She glared at me, and I stared at her expressionless. Posted by Narugi.com; visit us for more free novels.

"Good morning Mei." I greeted.

Mei only gave me a nod in return.

My eyes flicked down to the book in her hands. She was quick to try and hide it. Unfortunately for her, I already saw.

"Edgar Allan Poe huh?" I asked. "I didn't know you liked poetry." I said.

Mei frowned harder at me. She got to her feet, and tried to march back in the house.

"Wait." I called out.

Mei paused with her hand on the doorknob.

"I wasn't trying to be rude. I actually really like his poetry. Don't tell anyone that though. Not even Emi. She'd never let me live it down." I grumbled. Mei turned around to give me a skeptical look.

"You like poetry?" She asked like she didn't believe me.

I nodded.

"Hey, why don't you come with me? I have to do a few repairs. You can read me some of your favorite poems. I could use the background noise."

"From childhood's hour I have not been

As others were I have not seen

As others saw I could not bring

My passions from a common spring-

From the same source I have not taken

My sorrow I could not awaken

My heart to joy at the same tone-

And all I lov'd I lov'd alone -

Then in my childhood

in the dawn

Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev'ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still- From the torrent, or the fountain From the red cliff of the mountain - From the sun that 'round me roll'd

In its autumn tint of gold- From the lightning in the sky

As it pass'd me flying by-

From the thunder, and the storm -

And the cloud that took the form

(When the rest of Heaven was blue)

Of a demon in my view -"

- Alone, by Edgar Allan Poe

"That's your favorite?" I asked after Mei had finished.

Mei reads very passionately. She likes Edgar Allan Poe much more than I was thinking she would. She read to me as I did all of my repairs. I'm finishing putting up the last swing right now.

"Yeah. It reminds me of how I felt during my own childhood." She told me.

My eyes flickered down to her. I have no idea what any of their back stories are. I know that they had told Emi. My mate had come home sobbing to me after trying to be strong for them. I never asked Emi about it, and she never told me. They weren't her stories to tell, and I respected that fact.

"I have no idea what you went through before Darian found you Mei, but.. I think that it's important to know that you are no longer that little girl. You grew up. Now you are a strong woman. One with almost as much pride as me." I said. Mei gave me a small smile.

"You have your mate. A real home now. Freedom. No one is holding you back. Except yourself anyways." I told her.

Mei chewed on her bottom lip as she looked at me. I can tell that she wants to say something, but isn't sure if she should. I turned to give her my full attention, and waited patiently.

"Ares... Do you think you could teach me how to defend myself?" Mei asked. "I know that they hold classes here, but.. I just.." She trailed off awkwardly.

"I'd be more than happy to help you." I told her.

Mei turned to smile at me. I walked her back to her house. We chatted about when I could teach Mei how to fight. I didn't ask her why she wanted me to do it. Or why she didn't want to join the other classes. After dropping Mei off, I made my way back to my home. All to replace Emi outside jumping up and down with Jaja and Sylas. She's screaming at the top of her lungs about how she did it.

I couldn't help the small chuckle that left my lips over her. Emilia is so beautiful. She is the true light of my life. My happiness. My heat. My soul.

After talking with Azai, we took the trouble makers back to their mothers. Then I practically drug Emi back to our apartment. I pulled her through our front door, and slammed it shut. Then I pinned her to it.

Emi giggled as she wrapped her arms around my neck. Sparks shot through my body. I smashed my lips to hers in a hard kiss. Emi is the only partner I've ever had that I let touch me. And I love it when she does. I replace myself wanting to tie her up less, and less.

My mate kissed me back with just as much passion. I can feel her own lust flowing through our bond. I never thought that being fully mated would feel this good. Why didn't I want this for so long again?

I pulled away from Emi's lips to start kissing down her neck. I sucked and nipped at the mark on her neck. My mate gasped, and pushed her body into mine.

I reached a hand under her shirt as my lips moved down her mark. I pulled back enough to pull her shirt over her head. Then my lips are right back on her mark.

"Ares.." Emi breathed out my name.

I love it when she says my name.

I made my way down to her chest. My tongue flicked out to make it's way just under Emi's bra. I just barely touched her nipple, but my mate is moaning like crazy.

Emi is by far the sexiest woman I have ever had the pleasure of being inside of. Everything about her sets me on fire. Her voice, those moans, the way her body reacts to me, and especially how fucking wet she gets.

I ripped Emi's bra from her body making her gasp again. I teased her nipples until I felt her go crazy. Then I fell to my knees in front of her. I held her hips as I unbuttoned, and unzipped her jeans with my teeth. "A-Ares.. r-right.. here?" Emi breathed out.

"Mhmmm." I hummed against her skin.

I pulled my lips from my mates body to yank her jeans down, and off of her body.

"This is our place, what does it matter?" I asked her.

Then I grabbed her thong with my teeth, and pulled. Until they ripped from her body, and fell to the floor. Emi's hands tangled in my hair as her body slumped slightly. guess.. it doesn't.." She said.

"I

I looked up at Emi's beautiful face. Her eyes are closed, and her head is leaning back against our door. My tongue flicked out, and pushed between her p***y lips.

Emi bucked, and moaned. I pushed her legs apart more, and wiggled under her more. Then I held onto her legs as I continued to taste her.

My mate is by far has the most delicious nector I have ever tasted. From her blood, right to her p***y juice. She gets so wet that I literally slurp it out of her. It's the hottest thing I've ever been a part of. "Ares.." Emi moaned.

Ares.

That is not my mate's voice.

Oh gross, what are you doing? Didn't I just leave you two?

My fucking twin.

What? I bite out. I'm busy.

I can.. sense that.. Azai said. Are you eating her out right now? He asked.

What do you want? I growled out.

Emi is getting so into this. She's pretty much riding my face at this point. I bet if I fell back, and yanked her down she'd fall right on my face. And that's exactly what I did. Emi gasped in surprise, but quickly started riding my face. Just wanted to tell you that everyone is going to be at Mom and Dad's in about 20 minutes. Out back. Azai told me.

Kay. I growled out, and cut the link.

My tongue flicked over Emi's c**t once more, and she came undone. I tried to slurp up all of her juices, but like always.. Emi cums so much that it spills all over me. Just the fucking way I like it.

I pulled Emi from my face to look at her. Her face is flushed, eyes glassy, and looking even more stunning than usual. I smirked at her as I stood up, dragging her with me.

"We gotta be quick pet. People are waiting for us."
