Chapter 16
Harmony awoke once again to a warm feeling of protection. She rolled over in arms she knew belonged to Kadaj and then snuggled back down into her mattress.
Mattress?
She opened her eyes. Warm cream colored blankets and pale, pale skin met her vision. She and Kadaj were cuddled closely under the covers of her bed.
What the hell? The last thing she remembered was playing a strange form of a drunken stripping game around the campfire in the meadow. How did she get back into her bed?
She shook her head in confusion and Kadaj gave an irritated sigh in his sleep. He must have been really drunk if her movements hadn't already awoken him. She shifted a little bit more and then immediately stilled when her hip brushed against a hard warmth and Kadaj let out a small moan. She looked up to find him staring at her.
"Careful." He rumbled, looking down his perfect nose, his cat eyes lazy and full of lust.
Harmony was overtaken by the need to hear him moan like that again. She scooted closer to him, smiling when his arms tightened and drew he her in for a soft kiss. Taking the initiative for the for the first time, she slid her mouth from his to place wet, lingering kisses on his throat.
"Mm." Kadaj gave a contented sigh, running his hand down her side before coming to rest at her hip.
His soft reactions and gentle caress gave her courage. She slowly trailed her hand down his bare chest and dipped into his boxers. He jerked and groaned when she wrapped her hand around his shaft and gave him one firm stroke.
"Harmony!" He gasped, turning over onto his back and grasping her hand. "What are you doing?"
Harmony snorted and pulled against his grip. "What do you think?" She rolled over on top of him and sat up a little bit, cupping his jaw in her free hand and gently drawing his bottom lip between her teeth.
Kadaj was utterly shocked to see Harmony taking initiative. However, he was a man. An aroused man. And he was not about stop her. This was a very good sign. He released Harmony's hand and hissed as she stroked him again, her grip tighter than before.
"Oh Gods, Harmony…" Kadaj moaned. He trailed his hands down her back and bucked into her grip. "You feel so amazing…"
Harmony rolled them over and pulled him on top of her, wrapping her legs around his waist and continuing her long strokes. His hand snaked between them and into her panties, long fingers immediately coming to flick and stroke at her clit. She instantly felt a gush of slick wetness leave her body and she moaned, arching against him and tightening her legs around his waist.
"Kadaj…" she whispered, using her free hand to pull his face down to hers. "I want all of you. Please?"
Kadaj let out a muted sound of compliance, and instead of slipping her panties off of her, he pulled his hand away and pushed her panties off to the side. He paused as she placed his erection at her opening, looking into her eyes for one last confirmation. Harmony said nothing, just angled her hips to allow the tip of his hardness to slip inside her.
Kadaj let out a cry and surged forward, buying himself all the way to the hilt.
"Oh God!" Harmony keened. "Move, move, move!" she chanted, bucking against him and moaning when he pulled out of her and thrust back inside. She closed her eyes as Kadaj leaned down and nipped at her ear, still making shallow thrusts inside her.
"You're mine!" He hissed. Harmony froze. That was not Kadaj's voice. "You'll always be mine. You will never be free of me, Witch. I'll never let you go!"
Harmony opened her eyes and felt as though all of the oxygen had been sucked from the earth.
Jade lay atop her, his dark eyes glowing with malice and wicked intent.
"No!" Harmony whimpered. "Stop!"
Jade let out a wicked laugh and wrapped his hand around her throat, squeezing the breath from her body. "You think that little shit-head can save you? He'll never have you, I'll kill you first!"
"No!" Harmony screamed, bolting upright. The blankets fell down to reveal that she was fully clothed and unharmed. She instantly felt warm arms surround her, holding her tightly to a firm chest. She struggled to escape the grip, screaming and snarling.
The arms left her and she dove off the bed, whirling around to face her attacker and nearly sobbing in relief when a very worried looking Kadaj met her gaze.
"Harmony? What is it?" Came a voice from her right. Yazoo was laying in the second bed in her room, disheveled from sleep and what looked like a nasty hang-over. She looked back at Kadaj. He had one hand hesitantly stretched toward her, a confused expression on his face.
She fell to her knees, the stress of the nightmare finally taking its toll. In an instant, both men were on their knees beside her. Kadaj crouched in front of her, wrapping his arms around her once more as she shivered, and Yazoo next to her with a hand on her shoulder.
"What happened?" Kadaj asked.
"It was a nightmare." Harmony gasped. "I woke up in bed with you… and rolled over and we started…" She glanced at Yazoo and blushed, "…you know. And when you were inside me… you started to whisper in my ear… but it wasn't you. It was Jade's voice. And when I opened my eyes… It was him. He told me…" She trailed off and sniffled, covering her eyes with the palms of her hands and trying to regain composure.
"Told you…?" Yazoo prodded.
Harmony took a deep, cleansing breath, telling herself it was only a dream, and that these men wouldn't hurt her. She knew they wouldn't. She felt it. "He told me that I will never be yours." Kadaj nodded for her to continue. "He told me that he would never let me go. That he would kill me before he let you have me."
Kadaj and Yazoo were silent for a moment, each trying to think of a way to comfort the young woman.
"Have you had dreams like this before?" Yazoo asked, pulling Harmony to her feet and, along with Kadaj, leading her to sit on the bed.
"I used to have them all the time after it happened. Sassi helped me get past them. She's-" Harmony hesitated, not sure how much she should tell them about her coven-sister. "-special."
"Who is Sassi?" Kadaj asked, thinking to take her mind off the nightmare long enough to let it fade from memory.
Harmony gave a slight smile. "She's my best friend, my coven-sister." Her smile fell. "I wish she were here."
A sudden thought struck her. "How did we get back to the cabin?"
"I carried you back, Yazoo followed. It was too cold for you. I woke up and you were shivering." Kadaj looked at the bedside clock. "It was only a couple of hours ago, actually."
"Thank you very much for coming, Sir. I hope to work together again soon." The pretty redhead said to the older man as she shook his hand.
"Miss Flint." Said the next in line. The pale, freckle-faced woman shook the hand of each man or woman as they filed out of her office.
"Phew, what a day!" She sighed as she plopped down into her lavish office chair. She toyed with the star-shaped necklace she wore, closing her eyes and attempting to center herself.
'I wish she were here.'
The voice rang loudly in her mind. The woman's eyes snapped open and she sat up, rigid. She lifted a lace-gloved hand and removed the material, and then trailed her fingers across a picture on her desk. Suddenly, a deep feeling of fear and dread over took her senses. The woman gasped, scrambling through her pockets and finally pulling out her cell phone. She dialed the number with shaking fingers.
"Come on, honey. Pick up the phone!"
Harmony started, making the bed jerk as her cell phone started ringing. She picked the device up off of her nightstand, giving an almost maniacal laugh as the saw the caller ID. She pressed 'Talk' and brought the phone to her ear.
"Sassi…" She said, the name coming out as a relieved sob.
"Alright. Yeah, bring coffee. Oh-! And croissants! Lots of them! And ice cream. And don't forget extra cream-fine, fine! Yeah, I'll see you in a few hours. But um… That company I told you about? Don't sneak up on them, 'kay?" Harmony said into her cell phone. She waited for an affirmative answer. "Okay. Drive safe. Yup, you too. 'Bye." With a sigh she snapped her phone closed. All was quiet in the room, several of the men having joined them as they heard her on the phone. Harmony's voice shattered the silence as she broke out into near hysterical laughter. The men weren't even sure if it was laughter. It could have been sobs.
She saw the uncomfortable looks of confusion on their faces and offered explanation. "Sassi's coming! I haven't seen her in years!"
"Who is Sassi?" Loz asked.
"My best friend. My sister. My mother. You be nice to her!" she said quickly, pointing her finger at each of the men.
"Easy there, kiddo, we'll be nice." Cid drawled. Harmony stood and ushered the men out of her room, closing the door and following them down into the den.
"Something you should know. She's not far away, she'll be here in about three hours. Don't touch her. I'll let her explain why if she feels she trusts you enough to tell you. Just don't touch her, or she'll kick your ass."
Kadaj snorted. "Like she could."
Harmony only arched an eyebrow. "Whatever, Whack Job. She's not as against using her magic as I am." She heaved a sigh and looked around the cabin. "This place is a wreck. If she sees it like this she'll kick my ass, that's for sure!"
"How do you work this thing?" Cloud asked Cid as he stared at the vacuum.
"How the hell should I know, Chocobo Head?" The rough pilot shot back. "Just push some buttons 'til it works!"
"You do it. You're married." Cloud said, shoving the machine into Cid's hands.
"So're you!" He said, shoving it back at him.
"Harmony! I'm done mopping the kitchen! What should I do next?" Zack called, walking into the den.
Cloud and Cid zeroed in on him, and Zack felt a cold chill take his body.
"Oh, shit."
The next nearly three hours were spent cleaning the cabin, and the men. Harmony slumped down on the couch after her shower. She was dressed in an orange peasant skirt with a white tank top, wanting nothing more than comfort. Loz plopped down next to her.
"So why would your friend be upset if someone touched her?" He asked.
Harmony glanced at him. "Not my place to tell." She said simply.
Loz was intrigued. Who was this woman that Harmony spoke so fondly of? Surely she was a good person if Harmony was so close to her?
Kadaj and Yazoo joined them next, followed slowly by the rest of the group as the men showered and changed one at a time. Vincent let Hojo out of the basement and followed him to sit outside the bathroom as the scientist took his turn in the shower.
"So, what's your friend like?" Angeal asked. Harmony laughed.
"She's fiery." Was all she said before the distinct sound of crunching gravel met their ears.
Harmony was a blur of movement as she flew out the door.
The men followed at a more controlled pace, watching the big black SUV pull into the driveway as Harmony bounced on the heels of her feet. Before the vehicle had even come to a complete stop, Harmony was racing to the driver's side window. The tinted glass rolled down to reveal a large silver thermos with red hair. Correction, the thermos was held by a pale hand in front of a redheaded woman with a splash of freckles across the bridge of her nose.
"Hey, Freako." The woman smirked.
"Hey, Creeper." Harmony responded with a grin. She gestured to the large thermos the woman held. "Is that what I think it is?"
The woman grinned broadly, holding the thermos out. "Steaming hot Caramel Brulee Latte, extra shot, breve."
"I. Love. You."
The men watched the conversation from their place on the deck. Harmony seemed to still for a moment before tilting her head to the side in a curious manner. Suddenly the conversation became hushed, an amused look covering her features. After a few minutes, the redhead opened her door. At that moment, the three other doors of the vehicle opened as well, and out stepped the five people that they least expected to see.
