raven, some worse than others. Yours haven’t been a picnic from what you have told me.”
“True , but so long.”
“You are with me now. That is all that matters.”
I wrap ped my arm around his waist as we approached his sleek black ride. “Forever,” I said with a smile.
He opened my door and handed me into my seat. Then we were speeding away from the one place I used to look forward to. School used to be an escape from my parentals, from the abuse and hatred. Things changed.
“Will your uncle be home when we get there?”
“He should be. You can never tell with him though. He is always popping in and out of places. No worries, love. He will adore you as much as I do. I guarantee it.”
“ I’m sure I will enjoy meeting him. Anyone that loves you has to be special.” I was still nervous though.
“So what do you want for dinner tonight? We didn’t eat lunch thanks to the energy drain. You must be famished.” He smirked at me. Pervy man.
I chuckle d and snuggled into my seat, enjoying the ride to his home.
Chapter Eight
Revealed
When we pulled up to Jaxx’s house I was taken back again at how massive it was. Even though I ha d been there once before, I was still dazzled by the size. It was a two story colonial red brick home with white windows and trimmings. Two large pillars sat in front to support the roof of the massive porch. There were several hanging baskets hanging from the eves. The yard and the flower garden out front were well tended. You would never guess that it was a house for just two men. Around the back of the house I knew there was a full tennis court and an in ground pool that took up a lot of space, but there was also a labyrinth of flowers and shrubbery to get lost in.
Jaxx walked around the car to get my door then handed me out. As we strolled up the front, I noticed a Harley Davidson V-Rod parked on the other side of what had to be his uncle’s black Lexus. I turned to Jaxx. “Does your uncle have a thing for Harleys also?”
“Umm, No . He is much too contained to ride any sort of bike. Let alone that monster.”
That made me giggle. How could anyone related to Jaxx be tucked in? When we got to the front door, Jaxx walked right in, but I lagged back out of nervousness. I’d never had the meet the parents’ moment.
“Come on , little raven. He won’t bite. Well not much.” He rolled his eyes at my confused look. “I’ll let him explain.”
We moved through the house and Jaxx twined his fingers with mine. At his touch I relaxed instantly. “You are my instant Xanax,” I laughed.
When we reached the front room, I noticed a tall lanky man who was probably in his mid-thirties leaning against the main book case. He had dark hair and even darker eyes. You could get sucked into those eyes and never escape. I thought, quickly diverting my gaze to take in the room. Instantly my eyes caught eyes that were mirrors of my own. I felt Jaxx go still beside me as I stiffened with confusion.
“Seb , what’s going on? Who is this?” Jaxx asked.
I took in the one I knew had to be a stranger in the room. He was tall, but still an inch or so shorter than Jaxx. I would say he hit about six foot one at least. He stared at me like I should know him. His eyes were the same as mine. His hair color matched mine, even his well defined cheek bones, and full lips were mine, I thought, my heart racing. “Gavin,” I whispered.
He jerked as if electrocuted by an unknown source.
Jaxx bristled beside me and I could feel the anger and confusion radiating off of him.
“Who-”he started to say, but his uncle cut him off.
“Let it be , Jaxxsane. Watch and listen, but for goddess sake let this play out,” his uncle said with so much authority I didn’t think anyone could deny him.
“Who are you?” I ask ed my twin just to be sure.
“You know who I am. Just as I know you, soul deep. We might not share the same soul as you and your destined, but we are of the
