---- Book 1 Chapter 11 We didnt do it to hurt you, just to stop you from panicking. If you calm down, we won't have to, he said, his breath fanning my lips; his face was that close. His smell calmed me slightly, and I felt my pulse start to slow, my eyes feeling heavy, but I refused to let them close, scared they would inject me with whatever the hell they used to make me this way. Eli placed it back in the bag before zipping it up. I let out the breath I was holding, relaxing against Cyrus. His hand was moving up and down my leg, and I felt goosebumps rise on my skin before his hand stopped underneath my skirt at the apex of my legs, his fingertips resting on the lace of my panties. Eli got up, walking somewhere behind me toward the back of the plane before returning with a bottle of water and a straw. He cracked the lid before placing the straw in and bringing it to my lips, and I took a sip, not realizing how dry my mouth was until the cool liquid quenched my thirst. My lips parted, and he pulled 1t away before putting it in a cup holder next to Cyrus. He shocked me when he leaned down, kissing my forehead, making me furrow my brows. Why would he do that? Why do any of this? 2/5 ---- Book 1 Chapter 11 Why do you have sedatives? I asked. Neither of them answered. Yet I watched as Eli's eyes darted to Cyrus at my question. Go back to sleep, Cyrus told me, and I felt my fingers twitch, which didnt go unnoticed by Eli as he leaned forward, his elbows braced on his knees as I started regaining some form of feeling back; whatever they gave me was wearing off. He sat back, and Cyrus suddenly stood before handing me to Eli. He placed my hand on his shoulder while my head rested on the other heavily. I moved my fingers, yet my legs felt like dead weight. I brushed my fingers together. The sensation felt weird, like when you get your mouth numbed before getting a tooth pulled; my fingers felt like rubber. Eli kissed my fingers, and I heard a strange noise that reminded me of a growl, yet I couldnt turn my head to see what made the noise. Elis face turned to look at me before his lips brushed mine softly, his tongue tracing over my bottom lip before he pressed his nose to my cheek, inhaling deeply. Why did you do that? I asked, wondering why Eli was being affectionate, especially while his husband sat across from him in plain sight of us. Cyrus, too, was being strange, touching me in a way no boss 3/5 ---- Book 1 Chapter 11 should when he had hold of me. Because you are ours, Eli told me like that was somehow supposed to make sense. That makes no sense. I am not anybodys, I told hin. That is where you are wrong, little one. You belong to us now and forever, Cyrus said before kneeling in front of me and grabbing my face before turning me to look at him. We are your mates, but that doesnt matter right now. You won't remember any of this when you wake up. But I promise we would never hurt you, Addie, not intentionally anyway, he said before kissing me, his tongue brushing mine as it tasted every inch of my mouth, making me gasp. Sparks rushed over me, and I moaned into his mouth before he pulled away. I was shocked by my reaction to him, shocked that he kissed me, and Eli didnt seem to mind. Instead, he was watching Cyrus. I felt Cyrus grab my face; I felt dazed and couldn't seem to tear my eyes from his as if in a trance; his lips were moving, yet I couldn't understand a thing of what he was saying. My brain became foggy, and I felt like I Seu slipping, that my mind was slipping, and I ---- Book 1 Chapter 11 suddenly couldn't even remember a cognitive thought like I just went blank, and I was consumed just by the shimmer of his eyes. It didnt scare me, but I knew it wasn't right, but it also didnt feel wrong either, just a calmness that settled over me. His eyes twinkled oddly before I saw darkness.
