Erin's Awakening (15 page)

Erin
felt her pussy clench and at the same time she must have bore down on both their cocks because Aedan gritted out.

“
Fuck, Erin.  Don’t do that or I’ll come.”

She smiled. 
Aedan reached out and rubbed her breast.  The smooth palms eased across her strained nipple.  Her building orgasm was making her limbs begin to tingle and waver, she hoped she could hold up, but she felt Myles tighten an arm around her center, as if he knew she was going to need help.

She turned her head to the side to draw in more air. 
“I’m going to come.  Oh, God.”

“
We’re right there with you, kitten.”

Aedan
clasped her arms to keep her steady, and Myles moved his fingers up to her waist.

Myles
yelled, and Aedan sounded like a lion as he roared.  Their cocks grew and pulsed.  Heat warmed her insides.  They kept pumping long after they’d finished climaxing.

“
I love you.”  She needed to let them know, she was so overcome with emotion.

They both pulled from her as she panted, trying to calm her breathing down.

She untangled her legs and dropped back on the bed.  Aedan managed to get a wet towel and he cleaned her up.  She was exhausted and spent, as they lay on either side of her, and she savored in the feeling of completeness and smiled.

He slammed his fist on his desk in anger.  How could they screw this up so royally?  The Dark One was injured?  How the fuck did that happen?  These women were proving to be worthy adversaries.  He had to get this under control.  He sat down and tried to calm himself.  He thought about what had happened and how he could reverse the damage done.

He knew he could use his lady again but wanted to hold off so as not to tip them off to what he was doing.  He knew he would have to take drastic measures now.  He had to take one of the Five.  It was the only way to bring them to him.  Once they were in his territory, he could easily defeat them.

Yes, he sat back with a smile, that's what he would do.  He would take one of them to bait the others.  It didn't matter which one, any of them would serve the purpose.  He would send men to the wedding.  That was his chance to get one of them.  Their guard would be down thinking they had defeated him through the Dark One.

He picked up his phone and called his contact at the Council.  He knew they would know how to get into the wedding.  He could slip his men in with the Council without anyone being the wiser.  This was going to be easy pickings.  They would have no idea and then he would get what was coming to him.  Power
.

The next couple of weeks were a flurry of activity getting ready for the wedding.  The women did as asked and all worked from the castle while the men ran the errands.  Everything was coming together beautifully.

Lachlan had escorted Calli into Tullamore for some tests to try
to determine why she blacked out the day of the attack.  The doctors had ordered an MRI and some blood tests.  The results would be back in a few weeks but for the time being, they couldn't find an answer as to why.  Coni was working her magick as well to see if there was a darker reason.  No one had any definite answers but luckily, Calli seemed to have fully recovered.

It was late one afternoon, a week before the wedding when Myles app
roached Erin.  "Kitten, can we go for a walk?"

"Sure
,” Erin said and turned to look at Kira who she was working on decorations with.  "I will be back in a few."

Myles led her out the back doors and they began to walk through the woods.  They walked for a while in silence, enjoying the beautiful day.  Then Erin kept looking over at Myles wondering why he wanted her alone.  Things had been going so well between the three of them and she was hopelessly in love with those two men.  Finally, Myles began to speak.

"I just wanted to tell you how much we cherish you and we hope you know how much we love you,” he said.

Just as she was about to answer him, they broke through the forest into the clearing where all the wildflowers were in full bloom.  There amongst the flowers was Aedan.  It seemed they had set out a blanket with some food and wine as well.

"Oh, how sweet," Erin said.

"We wanted to show you how much we love you
,” Myles said in that deep voice that sent chills all over her.

Aedan walked up to her and kissed her like he hadn't seen her in days.  When he pulled back, he said, "Hello, honey."

"Hi there, handsome," she answered.

"Come sit with us
," Myles invited.

They all settled down on the blanket with Erin in between them.  She leaned back against Myles'
s chest and Aedan pulled her legs over his lap.  They began to feed her some of the food they had brought with them.  It was all finger food, bits of cheese and some fruit.  They also held her glass for her to sip her wine.  It was a wonderful, peaceful time.  They talked a little about the wedding plans and then began to pack away the food.

When they were done, Erin stood and the two men stayed down on the blanket.  She frowned down at them for a moment and then Aedan began to talk.

"We never thought we would find you, honey.  You have no idea how happy we are that we did,” Aedan said.

"We love you very much and want you to be ours forever
,” Myles said as he pulled a ring out of his pocket.  "Will you marry us?"

Erin was surprised.  So surprised that she didn't say anything at first and then she said, "Yes.  I would be honored to marry you both.  I love you."

They stood and Myles slipped the ring on her finger.  It was the Claddagh ring, which was a traditional ring in Ireland for becoming engaged.  A beautiful ring that had two hands holding a heart with a crown on the heart.  It was solid gold and Myles informed her that it had been their mother's betrothal ring.  She was so touched that they had given her a family heirloom, it meant so much to her.

They ended up back on the blanket, kissing and heavily petting before they had to head back to the house.  Mrs. O'Leary was coming with the final samples of the food for the wedding and Erin had promised Ari to be there.  With the men groaning from the loss of her body and Erin laughing at them, they entered the back door.  Erin had said to Myles and Aedan that she wanted to keep it between them for now so as not to take away from Ari's day.  They had just smiled at her and agreed but when they walked into the kitchen, Ari was standing there with her hands on her hips.

"Well?” Ari asked.

"Well what?" Erin said surprised.

"Did you do anything of importance out there that I need to know about?" Ari demanded.

Erin looked at her men and they were smirking at her.
"Uh, like what?"

Ari looked at Myles and Aedan.  They nodded.  She squealed.  "Erin, I am so happy for you."

Erin looked at her men.  "You told her?"

"No, we told Reilly and Lachlan.  They must have told Ari
," Aedan said.

"Why wouldn't you come in yelling it at the top of
your lungs?" Ari asked.

"Well, I just wanted to keep it quiet until after your wedding.  I didn't want anything to take away from your day
," Erin said sheepishly.

"Oh
, honey, you are too sweet.  I want you to shout it from the roof.  As a matter of fact...HEY EVERYBODY!  GET IN HERE!" Ari began yelling.

Their sisters and grandmother
, as well as Reilly and Lachlan, all came into the kitchen.  Ari held up Erin's hand and said, "She's engaged."

Everyone exclaimed their congratulations.  Hugs and kisses went all around.

Julie arrived with a week until the wedding, all excited and willing to do anything to help.  The sisters had all met her at one time or another while visiting Ari in New York, so they all hugged her and welcomed her then introduced her to their grandmother.  When Julie met Aedan and Myles, she exclaimed, "Do they only grow them big here in Ireland?
”  Everyone laughed and Ari took Julie on a tour of the castle.

They all worked tirelessly to make sure Ari's day would be one that she always remembered.  The sisters wanted Ari to know how much she meant to them and how grateful they were to her for all she did while they were growing up.  She had been their rock and without her, they never would have gotten through the
ir grief.  Ari was a bundle of nerves the closer the day came, fearing that something bad would happen that would stop the wedding.

They were in the dining room, finalizing everything when Kira said to Ari, "Honey, you look tired.
More than usual. What's going on?"

Ari sighed as she sat down at the table.
She looked around at her sisters and said, "I'm still having those dreams. It happens the same way, but then the fog takes over and tries to choke me."

"What do Reilly and Lachlan say?" Sheela asked.

Ari shrugged. "I have been trying to keep it from them. I don't want them to worry. Plus, this week we are sleeping in separate rooms." She grinned at them. "Making them wait until we are officially married."

"Nice
," Kira said. "I mean about making them wait. You need to tell them what's going on."

Erin nodded.
"I agree. They need to know."

"You can't keep hiding it.
They are going to take one look at you and know, sis," Calli told her.

Their grandmother stood from her seat and turned to Ari.
"I am going to my greenhouse, maybe I can come up with something to help banish the dreams."

Ari kissed her cheek.
"Thank you, Mamo." As their grandmother left, Ari turned back to her sisters. "I also have something else I need to talk to you all about."

"What's up?" Kira asked.

"Well, while Julie is up in her room resting, I thought we could discuss telling her.  You know what I am talking about, I think due to everything that has happened, we should let her in on our little secret," Ari said.

"She may find out on her own and be freaked out.
I agree," Sheela put in.

"Me
, too. I always liked Julie. Not to mention some of the guests won't need to be explained away now," Calli said and laughed.

Erin agreed as well.
"She has always been trustworthy like part of the family."

"Then we are all agreed?" Ari asked and all her sisters nodded.
Ari sighed in relief. "Thank you."

They thought the best time to tell Julie was at their impromptu bachelorette party they were having a couple of nights before the wedding.  The men had set up in the pool house for their bachelor party, so the women had taken over the living room.  Their grandmother had excused herself, telling Ari to call for her if she was needed.  They all began to drink wine and play music, laughing and telling tales about Ari when she was younger.  Julie shared stories of Ari in New York the sisters had never heard, one which was quite funny and had the sisters in stitches.

"Wait.
”  Kira was holding her side because she was laughing so hard.  "So, this lady didn't know she had pink hair?"

Julie laughed.  "No, Ari kept her chair turned around from the mirror and refused to let her look at it.  Honey, it was cotton candy pink."

Ari laughed.  "Yeah, and she had a huge benefit ball to go to."

"Oh my god.  What did you do?" Calli asked.

"I hyperventilated and then sent April to find Julie," Ari said.

"When I came out and saw her..."Julie began laughing again.
“  I don't know what was funnier, the woman's hair or Ari's face."

Erin laughed.  "I bet.  She is suc
h a perfectionist about her work."

"Yeah she is
," Sheela said.

"Well, the woman hadn't told Ari that she had already tried to have it done at home.  The home mix contradicted with the salon's and
, voilà, pink hair," Julie told them.

Ari shook her head.  "It took me three rinses to get it back.  It was awful."

They continued to laugh and talk until they felt that Julie was relaxed enough to hear their tale.  Then Ari sat forward and looked at Julie.

"Julie, we all want to talk to you about something important, something special
,” Ari began.

Julie looked around at the sisters.  "Okay."

Ari took her hand and said, "I know that this will sound nuts, you will think we have lost our minds, but I want you to know that it's real and you are safe."

Julie nodded.  "Okay, am I going to die or something?"

"No, you're not going to die.”  Ari laughed then took a deep breath.  "Julie, my sisters and I, well, we're witches.  Real witches, spell wielding, potion making witches."

Julie sat there for a second with no emotion on her face and then she grinned, looking around at all of them.  When she saw they were all serious, she visibly gulped.  Then she opened her mouth to say something and then snapped it shut.
