The Dark Side Of Fate

~Tamia~

The pink crescent moon on my thigh gave me so much joy. I felt intense pleasure while Sylvester sank his teeth into my skin. I felt a strong pull and a bond forming.

It was similar to a thick cord that I could almost tug. I felt lighter.

Having been claimed before, this was different. The euphoria was more enjoyable.

I looked at it, and Sylvester ran his finger along the skin, making me moan because of the tingles. He looked at me and smiled.

“Should we go all the way?” He asked me the very question I wanted to ask him.

I was about to say yes when I thought of our friends.

We tried to do everything together.

Avery already felt unfortunate because she was the only one that wasn’t pregnant, and I remembered how I felt when Linda got pregnant. It would be wrong and insensitive to wear each other’s marks before them.

“I know what you are thinking, darling,” Sylvester said, pulling me close.

“You do not want to hurt them. I understand. We can wait. The blue moon is roughly six weeks away. After the tournament, we would just have two weeks to prepare and then that is it,” He said and kissed me sweetly on my lips. I moaned, feeling his need for me.

“I doubt I would be able to control Knight, Tamia. He wants to claim you and Kaira badly, and now that we have done it partially, his need for you to wear our mark and us yours would grow. I hope you will be able to handle my love bites,” He said, kissing my neck and grazing his teeth against the skin.

I was too much in need that all I could give was an inaudible moan saying

“Yes”.

We cuddled in each other arms after. It was two in the morning. Glad we had no matches to play, we decided we would arrive at the sports arena late.

Sylvester’s meeting with Leo was late in the afternoon. I wondered what Leo would want to discuss with Sylvester. I honestly wished I could be there. I would have to wait for Sylvester to tell me about the meeting.

Sylvester stroked my hair and my skin until I finally fell asleep.

I woke up in the morning with an intense need for pleasure. I did not know if it was the partial claim or my hormones, but the need was there.

Sylvester wasn’t in the room, and I didn’t bother to link him.

I went to freshen up and get ready for the day.

When I exited the bathroom, someone knocked on my door, and I went to answer to see who it was. To my surprise, it was Avery, and she was crying.

I gently let her into my room. Before closing my door, I looked around to see if anyone was in the passage.

I picked up a box of tissues and handed it to her. She thanked me and used it to wipe away her tears and blow her nose.

“What is the matter with you?” I asked her gently, and she looked at me with fresh tears.

I even secretly tried fertility pills. I tried staying in bed after we made love; sometimes, I would hold my legs up so everything stays in there and gets to the right destination. We made love throughout my ovulation period last month, and I have been checking. I use the strip every day, and it is always negative. I
