Torn between two (A Neko story) [Book 1]

Chapter Eighteen

"Ok babies, bed time!" Daddy encouraged as Harry and I jumped off the couch. Niall growled staring at me with flat ears and perched tail. Harry followed Daddy up the hall and I followed them to the bedroom door. Once Daddy opened our door, Harry crawled in as Daddy knelt at the frame. "Grace."

Daddy stopped me with his hand and I looked up at him confused.

"Not you Grace. I need you to come with me baby girl." I glanced over to see Harry crawl into the box but not without giving us a glance. Daddy stood up and gestured for me back up the hall which I went. "I'm just going to say goodnight to Harry."

Nodding, Daddy entered the room as I crawled back to the end of the hall. Then I slowly crawled into the lounge room and jumped onto the couch. I caught Niall's eye as he looked around the room. Then he stood to his hands and knees and began crawling to me.

I curled my tail around myself and let my ears go flat. Niall was close to the coffee table before he was tugged back. He glanced to see his lead restricting him any further. My chest heaved relieved as I visibly relaxed.

Daddy then entered the room making me feel more at ease. "Harry did seem a bit distressed that you weren't with him tonight. But I reassured him you were ok." Daddy stroked my hair and I purred leaning into his touch.

We heard a low growl and looked over to see Niall tugging against his lead staring at us. Saliva slid down his lip corner as Daddy knelt in front of him.

"Grace, Daddy's going to let Niall off ok? You both need to learn to like each other and this thing looks like it's hurting him." I swallowed hard backing away on the couch as Daddy fumbled and undid the lead. Niall leapt forward and jumped onto the couch.

I whimpered holding my arms around my head as I trembled. Niall leant over me and gripped the couch each side of me. His deep breaths cascaded down onto my ears as I whimpered, feeling like I wanted to cry.

He nipped my ear as I flinched trying to back away. Niall gripped my lower back and growled in my ear.

"D-Daddy..." I choked out feeling completely powerless. Suddenly, Niall grabbed my ankles and yanked me down. "NO!" I screamed as Niall held me down by the wrists.

"Niall." Daddy came over and reached over for us. Niall growled glaring at Daddy as he looked up snarling. His ears went flat and he slowly leant up making himself look bigger. Daddy stopped and took his arms back.

Niall went onto all fours but his hands held the end of the couch. As Daddy backed away slowly, I sat up gripping the back of the couch.

"I-I'll get blankets." Daddy said and hesitantly left the room. I looked at Niall as he slowly turned his head back at me. His snarl faded and he went back to his casual face turning to me. One of his arms snaked around my waist. I hissed at him though he hissed back making me go quiet.

Niall pulled me into his chest and latched his teeth onto my neck as I whimpered. I gripped his shoulders as he sucked harshly at my skin making me squirm underneath him.

"S-stop!" I panted pushing his face away. He growled standing up on his knees and straightening his back as he stared down at me. I cowered into the couch and his eyebrow quirked at me.

"Alright." Daddy paced into the room and chucked blankets on the floor. "You two will be down here and I'll sleep on the couch to keep an eye on you." I scurried under Niall and jumped off the couch. He hissed and I heard a thump as I ran to Daddy.

Daddy wrapped his arms around me and lifted me off the ground in a swift movement. I hid my face in his neck as he patted my back.

"I know sweetheart, I know." He kissed my hair kneeling down. I clutched to him tighter as he began to spread the sheets. Another hand gripped the back of my shirt and tugged me back as I whimpered.

Daddy pried me off and lay me onto the blankets. My vision blurred as he kissed my forehead and stood up. Niall suddenly hovered over me as I turned on my side hiding my face.

Niall growled crawling behind me and pulling me into his chest. His leg wrapped over my hip to secure me beside him as he nuzzled his face into my neck. I saw Daddy sit on the couch and look at me sadly. I closed my eyes and hid my face in my hands. Why me?
