Possession

46

As soon as they both saw the man cornering Eva, it did not take even a second for their minds to register the thing happening in front of their eyes. Both of them were on Rhett in the next moment. And when the scent of Eva's pleasure hit them, making them think that it was Rhett who had made their mate cum, they lost all the control over their sanity. 

Liam's fist came down to pummel Rhett brutally while Rush snatched Eva up from the couch and hid her in his chest, hugging her closely while staring furiously at the fight between Liam and Rhett.

Eva had suddenly gone stock still. Her arms were wrapped stiffly around Rush while she breathed in his scent and tried to understand what was happening. She remembered this scent, she remembered this face, she knew this man! Her mind was circling wildly, images flashing in front of her eyes like a fast paced movie clip. She thought she was having a dream but this was no dream. These images roaming in front of her eyes were... her memories?

"Rush!" An hoarse whisper escaped her lips, her throat closing as tears filled her eyes and everything went black.

She started to fall but Rush gripped her tightly. Her whisper had entered his ears, making him the happiest person in the world. She had not forgotten him! He could not believe it. Had he imagined the words she had said?

"Eva!" he called out excitedly, gripping her arms as a huge smile took place upon his lips, "Baby, look at me!"

Eva was staring at his face numbly. Her body was shaking. The day of the attack was roaming in front of her eyes. The pain, the anxiety, the thought of Liam or Rush getting hurt was unbearable to her. Rhett and Liam had stopped fighting suddenly as soon as they realized that it was the first word that Eva had uttered since her attack. Both of them were standing stock still, fearing that if they moved even a slight bit, the spell will break and everything will go back to past.

But Eva was sobbing now, her hands were shivering as she jumped into Rush's arms while tears fell freely on her cheeks.

"Oh My God!" she whimpered, "Rush!"

Rush sniffled a litte as her tears fell upon his shoulders. 

As Eva cried, her eyes lifted up and found Liam and Rhett standing there. Liam was standing still, staring at her with such emotions in his eyes that she did not think he would have ever been able to explain in words. There was empathy, passion, happiness, and most of all... love.

Her tearful gaze was staring in his eyes with recognition now. Her heart was in turmoil and she could see Liam's hands clenched into tight fists. She could not bear it anymore. Pulling out of Rush's arms she ran to Liam, throwing herself up on him and taking him in her arms, hugging him tightly.

"Baby." Liam growled as his heart became heavy. He had not thought that this day, when Eva hugged him so closely with that look in her face was ever going to come back. Only he knew how much he had craved that scent. that look and those eyes staring at him with a world of love in them staring at him.

"Are you alright?" she asked. She knew it was a bit late to ask the question but she needed to calm her mind and heart.

"I am good, baby." Liam let a kiss drop in her neck, inhaling her scent and trying to calm his wolf down that was trying to jump out.

"Rush?" she pulled back from the hug and looked up at him, "Are you... are you okay?" her heart was in pain. Rush did not look well. His face was pale and he was wearing hospital clothes. There was something wrong with him.

Liam took her hand and led her to the couch. Rhett and Rush come to them as well and sat beside her. Liam took a seat in front of her on the table.

"What happened that day?" she whispered with confusion in her eyes.

Liam started to explain everything to her then. From Aster and her seducing powers to the stupid reason for Marcus' attack. She was sitting on the couch in shock as she heard every word closely and tried to consume and understand them.

"Well..." Rhett was the first to break the long silence that fell between all of them, "Seems like my work is done here."

His eyes fell upon Eva's troubled ones. He did not like the look in her eyes at all and there was no way in hell he was ready to see that look any longer. He lifted his hand and put his fingers under her chin, and asked right in front of her two mates, 

"Adorbee," he grinned gently, "Still interested in going on a date with me?"
