《MIDDLE GROUND》18

Fiona's hands hit her brothers door making the walls shake. "Why are you being so difficult?!"
"Sod off!" Oisin obviously didn't want us to be there anymore.
Fiona turned to me and Liam fuming in frustration and anger. Her eyes went dark- she had to feed.
"So if I can't open this door here, should I go to the human rooms tonight?" Please say no.
"No, stay another night in our bed. Did you hear that you motherfuckingtwat!?!" Fiona started to kick the door. "We get to hold her. We get to put our hands on her. We can even fuck her."
Wait...what?
"What the hell Fiona?" She gave me a look that I knew all too well. She was goading him. It reminded me of her talking to Liam when she was Liv and he was Ian. That felt like a whole lifetime ago now.
"Maybe Rian will finally call in one of his favors that I owe him." She winked at us. Liam was barely holding it together, Oisin would be able to hear if he so much as snickered let alone laugh out loud. "Do you mind, Evee? You'd be doing me a solid and we are best friends."
"I mean...he is outrageously hot...maybe it wouldn't be so bad being his sex slave." I could barely get the words out without laughing.
We heard movement behind his door. I had hope but he still wasn't moving so I went to my last resort. I could tell Fiona was about to lose it.
"I mean shacking up with King Rian does beat sleeping in a cage."
And she lost it. She banged harder on the door, yelling at him in multiple languages. "Ok fine, fuck it. Liam and I need some alone time so I'm going to drop you off over at Rian's. Bye Oisin!"
"FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!!" The sounds of wood and glass breaking was loud. "Bloody fucking hell Fiona!" Another thump sound as something hit the ground.
Oisin's door unlocked and slowly opened. He stood there with a black t-shirt and dark straight leg jeans and black boots. He kept running his hands through his damp hair. It seemed to be a nervous habit.

Fiona crossed her arms and leaning back on Liam who's hands were on her shoulders, lightly caressing and keeping her up. She had the look of 'na-na-na-na boo-boo I win and you lose'. A look only siblings, blood related or not, can give to one another.
"You need to eat Fiona." Oisin was right, her eyes were getting darker by the second. "Go, I'll watch over the little lamb for you...the one I sold what little of a soul I have left to the devil for."
I needed to think of a good zinger but as soon as I looked up into those eyes that were bright and playful as he gave me a little smile, my brain went blank.
"Nothin' to say lass?" Oisin said thoroughly amused.
Fiona gave me a thumbs up as Liam escorted her to the human blood bags.
"Wanna go for a run?" I was still in the workout gear I borrowed from Fiona. It wasn't until he looked down did I notice the sports bra was pushing my boobs up and in. The sporty oversized and very sheer tank wasn't hiding anything.
He gave me a big smile and nodded as I began to shake my head.
"Now that you mention it, I'd love to go for a run with ya."
I gave him my best death stare, "stop looking at my boobs. Be a gentlemen and let me borrow a different shirt."
He was already in shorts and sneakers when I looked up again.
"If I were a gentleman, I would. But I'm not." He laughs, "Do you want to stretch first? Maybe your hamstrings or your chest?"
"Ha. Ha. Very funny Master."
"Master Sir. And I don't kid about stretching. It's very important to make sure everything isn't too loose or too tight. You seem pretty tight." He snickered.
I sighed and started to walk down the hall, not even aware of where I was going. As long as it was away from him laughing at my expense. But I hear him make a few grunting noises and know he's right behind me.

"Those leggings look like a second skin." He said like some cat caller. His eyes were definitely glued to my glutes.
I stopped and turned with my hands on my hips. "Looking for something?"
"Yep. The stick." He laughed, "get it? The one up your butt?"
"Hilarious. Do you want to work out or not?"
"I do love. But the gym is this way." Before I could blink he had caught up to me. Putting his hands on my waist he turned me and pointed in the other direction.
His touch sent shivers down my spine when they first made contact. I can't be this be this close to him.
"I have a better idea - running in the great outdoors."
"Chase the human you mean? Let's go."
He's going to hunt me. And kill me. Drain my blood and leave me to the birds.
"Nevermind, gym is good. Treadmills and all that."
The hallways all look the same underground, like an upscale hotel without windows.
"Oh no, no, little one, I like your idea better. Much better." His eyes flashed from blue to black and back again.
He shocked me by scooping me up bridal style sending sparks all along my skin. Like literal sparks twinkle off of where his fingers touched my skin.
I felt nauseated as Oisin tries to put my feet on the ground when we hit the entrance where the wolves had came in.
"Woah, woah, lass," He kept hold of my waist keeping me steady.
The whole room was lit up with deep oranges hues as the sun sets low in the sky. The sun. Usually I loved a good night sky but what I wouldn't give for a clear blue sky with a warm sun, a few wispy clouds, and a light breeze.
"How...what..."
"It's tinted glass and with the sun so low I won't go up in flames. Unlike your skin. Why are you on fire?"
"Ha. Not your best come on." I try to step away and his hand reaches out just touching his finger tips with my arm as he holds my waist.
SPARKS!
"What is happening to me? Touch me again."
That set him off on a giggle fit.
"This is serious Oisin! What's going on?"
"Probably a fae thing, so let's keep this spark between us." He shrugged.
"Why? I could hurt someone if they touch me. Maybe I could start fires. I need know I'm not going to burst into flames!" My panic was rising and so was his amusement.
Since he wasn't going to help me, I ran up to the first person I see asking them to touch my bare skin.
Nothing. The person touched my arm and no sparks.
Oisin takes my arm to pull me away, "So sorry, she's just a nutter."
His attention back on me, his lips so close to my ear that his hot breath makes me want to moan as he talks, "Never. Do that. Ever. Again. Do you hear me Evelyn? I will spank you and it won't be to fulfill any fantasy of yours."
"Keep talking." I moan ignoring everything he just said.
"Ahh come on now love, don't..." His breath was getting heavier and huskier. And my mind was turning to mush but I had one last plan up my sleeve. I just needed to keep my hormones under control.
The evening takes over and the chandelier above the center of the room becomes brighter and brighter ever so softly as the daylight fades into darkness.
It's magical. Romantic.
This will take all my will power.
I turn looking from his eyes to his mouth as he whispers "Don't."
"Stop me then."
He leans in to kiss me. OMG this could happen! He wants me. I'm stunned and relieved all at the same time.
I see his eyelids close as he leans in closer almost touching my lips.
It's now or never.
I make a run for the glass doors.
