Fated to be Together

A Needed Time

Chapter 22

A Needed Time

It was soon December. Zara, Garrick, and Bodhi kept busy. Zara enjoyed her time with her squad in the morning and afternoon but soon as dinner was over. She spent the nights walking the grounds of Basgiath with Garrick and Bodhi, talking or cuddling in bed. But the nights Bodhi and Garrick were gone with Xaden for weapon runs, Zara didn't sleep well with them gone. She nursed a cup of hot coffee the next morning after that.

Tuesday night. She was in the gym with her squad. Liam was carving wooden dragon. Bodhi, to Dain's dislike was paired with Zara tonight. It was hand to hand combat tonight. Imogen had Ridoc in a headlock as Zara and Bodhi battled it out with a bow staff. Garrick was at a meeting with Xaden tonight. Zara dodged an attack from Bodhi and smirked as she swatted him in the back.

"Minx." Bodhi said with a smirk. Zara twirled her staff and blocked a hit from Bodhi. Jack was on a mat with his squad not far away. Other squads were there. Bodhi's Squad wasn't, but he had nothing to do and decided to be Zara's sparring partner. Liam was a guard. Rhiannon and Violet were training on a mat over. Bodhi grabbed her staff and Zara yelped as he pulled her to him. "If there weren't people here, I would take you on this mat." Zara smirked.

"Like you and Garrick haven't tried already." Zara whispered. Bodhi smirked. There were some nights where it was just the three in the gym fighting and it usually ended with them on the mat doing things that weren't sparring. Bodhi leaned forward, face inches from her face.

"We can tomorrow night." Bodhi whispered. Zara blushed and Bodhi chuckled.

"Will you two stop eye fucking and duel." Dain hissed. Zara smirked.

"I think someone is jealous." Zara whispered. Bodhi chuckled. Zara grabbed his bow staff and spun him and put her staff to his neck. "Easily distracted, love." Bodhi chuckled.

"I'm going to marry you one day." Bodhi chuckled.

"Mmm. If I have to marry you, I'll marry Garrick as well." Zara said. And Zara would. She marry them both at the same time. Bodhi's smile got big.

"I wouldn't mind that." A voice said. Zara looked up as Xaden and Garrick walked by after talking to Violet. Liam was standing to attention. Violet was glaring at Xaden. They didn't hear them come in. Garrick sent Zara a wink. Zara yelped as Bodhi grabbed her arm and flipped her over and she grunted as her back collided with the mat. Bodhi was over her.

"Just where I love having you." Bodhi said with a smirk on his handsome face. Zara pulled him down and kissed him hard. Dain grumbled about having her fight someone else next time.

'Save some for me.' Garrick said down the bond.

'Get your butt over here and fight us.' Zara told him.

'Not tonight.' Garrick said. Zara flipped him off down the bond. 'I don't think Aetos is happy about you and Bodhi dueling.'

'He can go fuck himself. He's just jealous that he doesn't have Violet and I got you two.' Zara told her men. Bodhi stood up and held out his hand. Zara took it and he helped her up. 'What are you doing?'

"Over there." Bodhi tilts his head. Zara turned her head and nearly moaned. Xaden and Garrick had their shirts off and were sparring like their lives depended on it. It was a blur of kicks, punches, and rippling muscles. Bodhi chuckled. "Your drooling." Zara's eyes trail down Garrick. They moved fast. Now Zara knew that Garrick was holding back with her as Garrick goes in for the kiss and Xaden deflects.

"They are good." Zara said. Bodhi pulled her against him. Zara looked up at him. Bodhi was muscular, not as muscular as Garrick, but they were up there. "How did I get lucky with both of you." Bodhi pressed a kiss to her lips. "Yet you thought I was going to choose only one of you."
