Sweet Redemption: The Morningstar Series Book 3
Sweet Redemption Chapter 58

A knock at the door had me stirring awake. It was soft but still had woken me.

I opened my eyes to see Acaisia still sleeping next to me peacefully, and still tangled around me. The knock sounded again and I carefully untangled my mate from my body. This better be important or I'm kicking somone's a*s.

And they better not wake up my mate.

Walking to the door I opened it with a glare, only to find Simon on the other side. Great. Just the person I wanted to be on the other side of the door.

"What?" I gritted out in a whisper.

Simon looked me up and down with a smirk.

"Long night?" He asked with that mischievous twinkle in his eye.

"Obviously." I said gesturing to my naked body. "What do you want Simon? My mate is trying to sleep." I asked lowly.

Simon sighed before growing just as teeny bit more serious.

"We are leaving in about ten minutes. We are going home. We need to discuss what happened and I fear this place is no longer safe for your mate or her twin. Meet the rest of us downstairs in the kitchen." He told me. I gave him a curt nod but he continued to stare at me with amusement.

"Anything else?" I asked irritated.

"Nope." He said as he turned around.

Then he turned his head to smirk at me one last time.

"Nice mark by the way." He said then walked off the my twin and her mates room.

Frowning I shut the door and turned around to look at my sleeping mate.

What mark was he talking about? I looked down at my body hoping it would give me a clue, and boy did it. There right on pelvic area, right on my V towards the left side, was a mark.

It's a full moon probably about five inches big. The initials A and B were entwined in the corner of it. My mouth dropped. This is a mark. Acaisia's mark.

Acaisia's Witch's mark.

Shock hit me first but joy quickly took it over. I wanted to jump up and down and scream out to the world. I wanted to jump into the bed and f**k my mate again at the thought of being marked by her.

Then I rememnered how reluctant she was to mark me. I know that witch's marks come when they want, not something you can control. Which means that Acaisia wasn't ready to mark me. That thought had a rain cloud coming over my happy party. Acaisia didn't actually want to mark me. She had no choice when it came to this mark. I blew out a breath. She's going to find out eventually, but does it have to be right now?

Deciding no, she did not have to find out right now, I got dressed quickly in my usual dark jeans and ligh blue V-neck shirt. Then I packed up all of our things, leaving out some clothes for my mate. I hope she doesn't get mad I picked her clothes out. Hopefully I went safe enough with a simple pair of light colored jeans, although I don't thin she'll be happy that I pulled out one of my shirts for her to wear. Oh well.

After I had everything packed up I walked over to the bed. Acaisia was still sleeping peacefully and I really didn't want to wake her up. Sighing I leaned down and kissed her forehead. She didn't budge so I moved on to kiss her nose.

At that Acaisia started to stir. I placed kisses on her eyes, all over her cheeks, another on her nose. After another second she reached up and put her hand on my face. I smiled under her hand as I watched her eyes flutter open. "No." She whined out sleepily as a little pout landed on her perfect full lips.

I grabbed her hand and removed it from my face. Leaning down I placed a soft kiss to her lips. Sparks danced across my lips and hand that still held hers.

f**k, I love this. Every touch, ever look, every thing that had to do with her was amazing.

Before I could get too lost in our kiss I pulled away. Acaisia pouted again and I chuckled at her. My sweet little mate craves me as badly as I crave her.

"Sorry my love but you have to get up. Simon said we have to be downstairs to leave." I told her.

"Five more minutes." She argued and I expected her to roll over, but she surprised me by grabbing my shirt and pulling my lips back to hers.

I wasted no time kissing her back. Simon can f**k off, so what if we're a little late. Climbing on the bed more, I hovered over my mate while our lips battled. Acaisia ran her soft tongue across my bottom lip but I didn't open up for her. I could feel her frown agaisnt my lips and I reached up to tip her head to give myself more access.

This time I ran my tongue across her bottom lip. Acaisia refused to open up for me like I knew she would. I sucked her bottom lip into my mouth and bit down on it gently.

My sexy little mate moaned into my mouth. I slipped my tongue into her mouth and tasted all of her. Acaisia wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me down on top of her. I was just about to rip the blanket from her naked body when there was another knock to the door.

I had zero intentions of answering it, but it did distract my mate. Fortunately for me I was able to pull her attention back to me by pinching one of her hard n*****s.

Then the door burst open startling both me and Acaisia. I sat up and blocked my mates body with my own. I expected to see Simon but there standing in the doorway, was my twin.

"Since when did you become a c**k block?" I asked her.

Bianca narrowed her eyes at me and crossed her arms.

"You're not the only one who got c**k blocked a*****e." She grumbled out.

I raised a brow at her.

"I didn't know there were c***s involved with you and your mate." I said amused.

Acaisia giggled behind me which caused Bianca to glare at the two of us.

"We were clit blocked then." She stated making Acaisia giggle more.

"Any-f*****g-ways." Bianca said with a heavy sigh. "You two were supposed to meet us downstairs five minutes ago. Ahkari and I managed to rip ourselves apart, the two of you should have to too." She sounded pissed but her words ended in a little pout. I raised a brow at her again but she quickly recovered.

"Just hurry up. I want to get home." She stated then turned around to leave.

"Could have closed the door!" I called out but was ignored.

I turned back to Acaisia who was still giggling a bit. I couldn't help the goofy grin that spread across my face.

"You're so pretty." I whispered in awe.

Acaisia blushed and looked away from me. She sat up and the blanket that covered her fell to her lap, exposing her upper half. I took a sharp inhale and looked away. If I keep staring we wouldn't leave for hours, no matter who came in to interrupt us, nothing would pull me away from her.

"Why are you being all shy? It's not like you've never seen me naked before." Acaisia stated as she crawled across the bed to me.

Great now she's completely naked. I stared at the ceiling hoping I could just answer her without looking at her. Then that little minx wrapped her arms around my neck and pushed her soft naked body into mine.

"What's wrong Bou?" She asked and I could hear the seriousness in her voice even though she tried to sound playful. "Now that we've had s*x are you afraid to look at me?"

That question had my eyes snapping down to hers and my hands coming up to cup her face.

"No! No no no no. That's not it at all." I rushed out. "I'm trying to not look at you because I won't be able to stop myself from f*****g you again. And I will not give a flying f**k who comes in to watch the show." I told her completely serious.

Acaisia smiled warmly at me. The hardness that was in her deep blue eyes had softened. She placed a small kiss to my lips then removed herself from hold. I stayed glued to my spot for a few minutes, my hands still in the air where they once touched my mate. "Guess I better dress quickly then." Acaisia giggled from behind me.

I grabbed the clothes I left out for her, from the bed and handed them to her. I could feel her eyes on the side of my face as she dressed but I never looked. f**k, I need to get control of myself. I have to tell her about this mark before we f**k again anyways. That had my stomach sinking.

What if she's angry about it? What if she regrets our night together because of it? I don't think I could stand it if she regretted it.

"Okay I am all dressed, you can look at me now." I turned my head to look her up and down.

She's swimming in my shirt and I smiled at her.

"Nice touch only leaving me out a shirt that belongs to you." She teased.

I shrugged.

"Couldn't find any of yours." I lied.

Acaisia raised a brow at me, totally seeing right through my lie.

"Hmm. I could always go through the bag real quick-" She started but I interrupted her.

"Nope, you look fine just like that." My eyes raked over her body again as I bit on my bottom lip. "Fine as f**k actually."

Acaisia giggled and closed the small space between us. Her hands slowly roamed up my chest, sending chills down my spine. I'm f****d. Royally f****d.

How am I ever supposed to not have my c**k buried inside of her? How, when she feels this f*****g good just touching me?

"You didn't happen to leave out a hair tie did you?" She asked.

Acaisia didn't ever wear her hair up. I knew that after all the f*****g last night and then the sleep that her straight blonde locks would be a mess today. Something else told me that she would want one, a haunch if you will.

So, I held up my wrist to her where I had a black hair tie wrapped around me. Acaisia looked at it then back to me before smiling and taking it off of me.

She stepped back from me and turned around to flip her head over. I groaned as my eyes fell on her perfect a*s, bent over and practically begging me to bite it. Just when I reached out to grab it Acaisia straightened back up.

I pouted and when she turned around she laughed at me. Her hair now sitting in a bun on top of her head, bounced with every move she made. I smiled down at her.

"I like your hair up." I told her and she blushed. "I like it down too." I said then kissed her nose. "Come on let's go before they all come up here." I ushered her to the door.

Acaisia reached down to grab her suitcase but I snatched it before she could. She narrowed her eyes at me and I only smiled at her as I walked out of the room. I waited by the door for her to follow. Acaisia stuck her nose in the air in that bratty way I love and strutted out the door passed me.

Man, am I happy that she didn't change just because we f****d. I love that bratty part of her.

Smikring I walked behind Acaisia down to the kitchen. Even with my shirt falling over her as I could see it sway and jiggle in those jeans.

f**k, how can somone's a*s jiggle in jeans?

"Get your head out of the gutter Bou." Aciaisa said as she stopped to turn and face me. "Unless you're about to take me up against one of these walls." She offered.

My body acted before my brain and I dropped the bags I was carrying with no hesitation. It took me two strides to close the distance between us.

Bending my head down to kiss her she put her hand on my face to stop me. I looked into her eyes as she giggled.

"I wasn't being serious Bou. Well.." She chewed on her bottom lip.

No fair, I want to do that. Then she shook her head.

"If my twin wasn't down there waiting too I'd beg you for it, but unfortunately..." She trailed off with a smirk as I groaned.

"With the way I'm feeling right now it would be a quickie." I countered after she removed her hand.

Acaisia stared into my eyes, hers swirled with lust. I almost had her convinced and I was fairly certain that I could finish in less than five minutes. I was also extremely sure that I could make her c*m just as quickly, all she had to do was give me the go. Much to my disappointment she shook her head and turned back around.

"Later." She promised.

I adjusted my jeans that were now much too tight and picked up our bags to continue to follow her.

"You got it babe." I told her as I came up behind her. "Later will not be quick though." I whispered in her ear then walked passed her.

It took us only another few minutes to make it to the kitchen. The rest of our walk was silent and my mind wandered back to the mark I have. Anxiety was rolling through me.

How was I supposed to f**k her without her seeing it? I want to tell he about it but... I looked over at Acaisia's face as she talked with her twin. I don't want to lose her. "So." Simon said clapping his hands together to get our attention.

Acaisia walked back over to me. She stopped in front of me with her back facing me and then leaned against me. I smiled. She feels like home.

"Is anyone going to tell me what the f**k happened?" Simon asked. "Or should we just wait until we explain it all to Atiana?" He looked between the Morningstar twins. Acaisia and Ahkari shared a look before Ahkari answered.

"We can just wait until we tell Tia. Bianca and I already talked about everything and I'm sure Bou and Acaisia did as well. So that just leaves you in the dark Si." Ahkari said smugly. Acaisia and I stiffened.

"Yeah, psh." I said as I scratched the back of my neck. "We had a long converstation about it." I lied.

"An extremely long conversation." Acaisia added. "So long that I was wore out after and passed right out." She added making me snort.

Ahkari narrowed her eyes at us and then rolled them.

"Guess I was wrong Simon, you aren't the only one in the dark. We can still wait til we see our sister though." Ahkari said. "Did anything weird happen here while the four of us were gone?" She asked Simon.

He nodded.

"Yeah that tree burnt down. It's nothing but ash now. Seems you four saved the Fae realm." He said. "And I got the samples before you destroyed it." He added.

"I don't think it's over yet." Bianca mumbled.

Simon gave her a look but shook his head instead of asking further about it. We teleported right from the kitchen to the front of the school. None of us were sure how much time had passed since we had left here but right now it was late in the evening. The sun was setting and gave off a warm glow. I looked down at my mate to see that warm glow light up her face.

"You are so beautiful." I said loud and proud to her.

Our twins snickered and Acaisia's face turned red.

"Shut up Bou." She said then walked up the steps of the school.

The rest of us followed behind her. A few students littered the area. They all turned to look at us but they didn't give us much attention. Weird that this sort of thing is pretty much normal to them.

We arrived in front of Tia's office. Ahkari lifted her hand and knocked, only for Acaisia to put her hand on the doorkob and swing the door open.

"Acaisia." Her twin scolded her.

"What?" My mate asked completely innocent.

Ahkari rolled her eyes. "You know what happened the last time we walked in like that." She said.

"Oh yeah, we got a good show." Acaisia said as she recalled. "Oh well." She said then marched in.

Her twin shook her head and followed in behind her. Then Bianca and me. Acaisia was standing in front of Atiana's desk. Thankfully both her and Max were clothed, though they looked irritated.

"By all means, come on in Acaisia." Tia grumbled.

"Thanks." Aciaisa said.

I walked over to the couch and took a seat. Acaisia walked over to me and I was about to pull her to sit next to me when she surprised me and sat in my lap.

After the few seconds of shock wore off I wrapped my arms around her waist and held her tight.

"You guys were supposed to get back with us three days ago. I was about to send back up." Tia said to us.

"Man a lot of time goes by in that cave." Acaisia mumbled.

"Our phones didn't work once we reached our destination." Ahkari told Tia. "It was weird. We couldn't see the screen at all."

Tia frowned. "It works in all the other realms." She said.

"We weren't in another realm. While there I discovered that we were in a painting." Ahkari told her.

Tia furrowed her brows.

"A painting?" She asked and Ahkari nodded. "How was something from a painting draining the Fae forest?" She asked.

"We have no idea." Acaisia answered.

"But there is no tree now. Your sisters made sure of that." Simon said.

"Actually," Ahkari started as her eyes flickered to my sister. "It was Bianca and Bou that did that. Acaisia and I were..." She trailed off unsure of what to say.

"Possessed." Bianca answered for her.

"Possessed?" Tia asked.

We spent the next two hours talking about what had happened. I felt a bit guilty for not telling Acaisia last night. In my defense she jumped my bones first. We were more worried about healing each other than what had actually happened. We talked about what to do from here on out. Acaisia wasn't happy to hear that she was somehow cursed. Tia seemed more concerned than the twins did themselves.

"You guys can go but I want to speak with my sisters alone." Tia said dismissing the rest of us.

Acaisia stood up to allow me to get up. I was reluctant to leave her. I had no idea what to do next. Thankfully Acaisia had grabbed my shirt and pulled me down to her lips.

Again she shocked me. She was so reluctant to kiss me before but now she was pulling me into her in front of everyone.

"Wait for me in my room?" She asked as she pulled away.

I stared at her stunned for a few seconds before nodding my head.

"Absolutely." I said with a smile.

Once Bianca and I were out of the door my twin turned to me and raised her brow.

"You two seem a lot closer now." She commented.

"We f****d." I admitted with no hesitation. "It was f*****g amazing. I made love to her first and then..well and then she f****d me before I f****d her-"

"Okay Bou!" Bianca interrupted me and held her hand up.

"That was all I needed to know." She said amused.

"You aren't marked though." She said softly after a few moments of walking.

I sighed.

"She isn't ready for that yet." I mumbled.

"She will be soon Bou. It's obvious." Bianca reassured me.

I gave her a smile but I knew it didn't reach my eyes.

"Don't think I didn't notice your marks." I teased her.

Bianca is wearing a tank top with her hair up. I didn't miss the new mark on her chest and her back. It was also extremely hard not to notice the very large mark on Ahkari's neck. A wide smile spread across my sister's face.

"We are completely mated now." She told me.

"I'm happy for you sis." I told her as I swung my arm across her shoulders.

"Your time will come soon." She told me and I remembered the mark I currently have.

I need to talk to Acaisia about this soon. Like as soon as I see her soon. I can't chicken out.

Once we reached the mansion we walked right in. Apparently Ahkari told Bianca this is her home now and to treat it that way. Not that Acaisia knew but I was going to be doing the same. I already had my things put in her room while we were gone anyways. When we entered we were greeted with the other Morningstar children. They were loud and roudy and I loved it. As soon as we entered they all looked up us, though most returned back to what they were doing immediately.

Then a man and a woman we had not met before came walking around the corner from the kitchen. The woman gave us a confused look while the man glared at us.

"This is them Mom." The sibling with the glowing green eyes said.

She walked over to stand between me and my twin.

"This one is Ahkari's," she said pointing at my twin, "this one is Acaisia's." She said pointing at me.

Bianca and I shared a look before looking back to the two strangers.

"Uh, hi." I said to break the tension.

"Bianca you're back." Another sibling said as he came down the stairs.

"Hey Axton." My twin greeted him.

How do they know each other?

"Been working on your skills?" Bianca asked him.

The boy gave her a wide smile. "Hell yeah."

"Axton." The man scolded.

"Sorry Dad." Axton said with a bored tone.

Dad? And that other girl called the woman Mom.. Oh f**k. I gulped.

"Why is it so tense in here?" Axton asked as he looked between us all.

"This is the first time they are meeting Mom and Dad?" The girl with the green eyes said with a smirk.

Axton's eyebrows shot up and he blew out a whistle.

"Good luck Bianca." Then he looked at me. "And Bianca's twin." He said then left the room to the kitchen.

I shifted on my feet feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"We are about to eat dinner. You'll join us won't you?" The woman asked.
