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

Chapter Twenty

Once I was out of the box, Daddy pulled me into his arms against his chest. He stood up as I held his shoulders and let him carry me out.

"Gra!" Harry called chasing after us. I frowned watching him look up at me stumbling over his hands and knees.

We came into the lounge room and my ears went flat as I looked down at Daddy's shoulder. "She's here." Daddy knelt down and I looked back to see Niall tied up again to his lead. He narrowed his eyes at me and crawled towards me.

I shook my head backing away though Daddy held me.

"It's ok Grace." Daddy whispered as Niall gripped my ankle pulling me towards him. I panted shaking my head and trying to lose his grip on me.

"H-Harry." I muttered as Niall yanked me to him. "Harry!" I cried as Niall hovered over me and hissed tensing. Another hiss was heard and I hid my face before being pushed behind Niall.

Looking back, I saw Harry growling at Niall as he Daddy held him back.

"Harry, you need to let them be for a while." Daddy whispered as I crawled away and out of reach from Niall. Coming around the coffee table, I leapt towards Harry whimpering his name.

He shot his head back and turned running to me. "Gra!" He took me in his arms as I hid my face in his chest.

"Grace!" Daddy scolded as I gripped Harry's shirt. Daddy pried me away from Harry though I shook my head pushing myself against him. "You need to spend time with Niall."

"N-no!" I cried being pulled away from Harry.

"Gra!" Harry gripped my tail but Daddy pushed his hand off. I was carried to Niall again but he didn't look happy. He grabbed my foot pulling me close as Daddy let go of me.

"Daddy!" Niall pulled me into his chest as I pushed against him.

"GRA!"

"Come here Harry!" Daddy pulled him up into his arms though Harry thrashed around crying my name as he was lead back into the hall by Daddy.

"Harry!" Niall threw me back onto the ground and gripped my wrists latching onto my neck. Crying out in pain, Niall sucked my skin claiming me once again.

After hearing Harry's calls calm to silence and feeling Niall pull away from my neck, I stared up helplessly at Niall. He stared bavk with an intent gaze before pulling me up onto his lap.

I hid my face as our chests touched and he crawled backwards leaning on the wall.

"G-G..." He muttered as I slowly lifted my head to look at him. He glared at me as I whimpered before he looked away. "G-Gr..." An ear perked up as I watched him wearily. Was he trying to say something?

Shaking his head, he looked down sneering as I tried to remove myself from his lap. Niall held me grounded and sat up so his breath touched my cheek. Looking over my shoulder, he pulled me closer so our chests touched before putting my face on his shoulder.

What's he doing?

Going wide eyed, Niall pushed his hands under my shirt and I squealed gripping his shirt.

"Gr-a." He growled gripping my lower back. Lifting my head, I looked at him as he kept narrow eyes looking past us.

"Niall." His ears flattened and his palms began to rub my back roughly. Cringing, I hesitantly put my head on his shoulder trying to calm myself. In the process, Niall's palms began to slowly soften in rubs on my back.

I stared at his neck intently seeing two faint scars across his skin. Now having a close look at him, I saw that he had them up to the side of his jaw.

My fingers lifted and he slightly looked over at me as my hand came close. He tensed as I felt over his neck and jaw. His hands stilled as I lifted myself a bit and studied his ears.

It was only now that I realized he had an earring in his ear. Going to touch his ear, he growled and snatched my hand pulling me back down. I blinked back as he narrowed his eyes and put my face on his shoulder. Rubbing my lower back again, I flinched as he watched the room over us.

"Gra..." He muttered as I hesitantly closed my eyes. A pair of lips then touched my ear and I cringed gripping Niall's shirt tighter.

So he was trying to say my name after all.
