Like Conner ordered, she was gone by 7. I just laid on the couch too mentally exhausted from Becky's random thoughts. Having a friend with ADHD was hard when I wasn't blocking outside thoughts.

I was almost asleep when a loud bang woke me up.

Chris was laughing. I rolled over and put a pillow over my head. Chris laid down behind me.

"Wake up beautiful."

"Go away."

"Come on. Let's get you to your room."

I shook my head. Chris' hand rested on my thigh, slowly rubbing up and down. My eyes were wide open now. I'm sure I wasn't breathing. Where's Conner? Chris sighed as his hand reached my butt.

"Chris. Stop."

I felt him chuckle beside me.

"You're single. Why not try?"

"Get off of me."

I knew what he wanted when he woke me up. He couldn't stop thinking about getting me up into my room, alone and drowsy. I swear all these guys are perverts. I was completely shocked when his hand started playing with the top of my jeans, slowly trying to sneak his hand underneath.

"I swear to god Chris I'll-"

"Do what? Yell?"

He was ripped off of me so hard I jolted off the couch with him. Grayson grabbed my forearm and kicked Chris' back hard.

"Dude. What the fuck is the matter with you?" Chris said grabbing his back in pain.

Grayson let me go, then leaned over Chris, pulling him up to his face by his shirt.

"Stay away from her." Grayson threatened.

"Why? It's not like you two are a real thing. You've never cared before."

"Things changed."

He looked scared now. "Shit dude. I'm sorry."

Grayson nodded and punched him hard. I heard something break.

"Learn your lesson."

Chris nodded, holding his jaw.

Grayson grabbed it after a moment and set it back into place.

Grayson walked out of the room to wash his hands. I started going up to my room. Chris went to the kitchen to grab some ice. Once in my room I took off my jeans, shirt and bra. It was almost time for bed. I grabbed the pajamas I wore the night before and turned on my TV.

Grayson didn't knock before he came in. He smiled lightly and then laid next to me watching Scrubs.

"You need to be more careful Casey."

"I was just laying there sleeping."

"Why on the couch? Your room's not too far away."

"I was tired. Becky drained my energy."

Grayson nodded and leaned back.

"Why are you in here?"

He shrugged "Is it against the law to be in my girlfriend's room with her?"

I nodded, "Considering it's already 10."

Grayson smiled. "I'm sure Conner wouldn't care if I stayed here the entire night. You don't even have to worry about him yelling at you for getting Chris hurt."

"Not my fault."

He shrugged, "I've gotta protect you from the other guys now."

"So what? You're taking over my brother's duties?"

He nodded, still not looking away from the TV. I sighed and put my head on the pillow.

He turned onto his side and looked at me.

"You're pretty calm for someone who was almost taken advantage of." I shrugged. "Has this happened before?"

I turned onto my other side. Grayson scooted closer to me and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Is that the reason Martin left?" I was fighting back the tears. Grayson sighed. "I'll keep you safe Casey." I turned around and faced him.

"You think you could protect me against yourself?"

He looked at something behind me. After a minute or so, he looked back at me. "I'm not too sure about that. I can only promise to try."

I nodded and closed my eyes. I smiled, "This is kinda deep for you."

I could feel him smile. "Once in a while, when no one else is around." I heard the TV's volume go down again. "So does rescuing you from Chris deserve the kiss that you never gave me?"

"What's with you and the kiss?"

I opened my eyes. "Shows me you're in it to try. I don't want a one way relationship." He looked me in my eyes, "Since we had a deep conversation." Was that sarcasm I detected?

I smacked his shoulder. "There go the points that you had stock piled for a kiss."

His smirk grew "Damn." I started to go to sleep again. "But I supposed I can just keep you awake. I mean, of course you can kiss me and I'll let you go to sleep." I glared at him. "Or I can keep you awake all night."

I groaned and gave him a little peck.

"There that was all the points you had. I hope you enjoyed it."

He smiled and pulled me to him, his face an inch from mine.

"I get to sleep now."

He shook his head. "You know I don't want that little shitty kiss."

"You weren't specific." I stuck my tongue out at him...which turned out to be a bad idea.

He quickly bit my tongue and forced his into my mouth when I was in shock from his first action. I warmed up a minute after some slow kisses. When he was content he pulled away.

"There. That wasn't so hard."

I nodded and put my head back on the pillow and closed my eyes.

"You should stop smiling. If someone walked in right now they might think you liked it." He whispered. I quickly stuck my tongue out at him, then buried my head into a pillow.

My blaring alarm clock woke me up. I rolled over to hit the snooze, but was stuck by something big and warm blocking my way. I tiredly opened my eyes and saw a guy's bare chest. I screamed in reaction. I was on my back with the person on me and his hand over my mouth.

I was only half relieved when it was Grayson who was there.

"Mornin darlin."

"What's with the southern accent?" I giggled.

He yawned, "My mom had it. Trevor lost his when we moved here." He rested his head on my shoulder. "Why so early?"

"I need to get pretty."

"For what? Conner has you on sick leave. You're not going back to school for a week."

"Seriously?"

He nodded his head against my shoulder. My door opened. Grayson slowly looked over.

Conner walked in, "Just what do you think you're doing on top of my sister?"

Grayson smirked down at me. Grayson started planting kisses on my neck. As much as I wanted to fight him, I couldn't. I was enjoying his lips on me.

"You think I can't seduce your sister, right here, in front of you?"

"I doubt she'll let you."

He smiled against my skin. Oh no. He was really going to try.

"Grayson-"

He cut me off with a kiss. He wrapped his arm around my waist as he distracted me with heavenly kisses.

"What pisses you off most Conner?" A kiss. "The fact that I can seduce her or that she'll be begging for it before I give it to her?"

He pulled me up with him as he sat up. I was straddling him, groin on groin separated only by the thin layers of pajamas, with his free hand he wrapped it around my neck and pulled my lips to his. All I could feel was the intoxication Grayson induced. I had never felt anything like what he did to make my heart race.

Conner pulled me away from Grayson by the back of my shirt. Grayson didn't try to hold on; it would've only hurt me. Conner pulled me over his shoulder and started walking out of the room. I was disappointed. Grayson smirked and winked at me when Conner made me leave.

"We need those mental barricades on your mind again."

"Why?"

"Because... Grayson would've never gotten so far so fast without your resistance." I sighed. "Don't worry. The feeling will go away soon." My next sigh was longer. I really didn't want that feeling to go away just yet.

Conner put me down when we were at Trevor's door. He knocked then walked in. Conner grabbed my forearm and yanked me into the room behind him.

"You never said Grayson was able to seduce so heavily."

Trevor looked over from the dishes he was washing.

"His mother gave him her talent before she died. He was 15."

"Is seduction his talent?"

Trevor nodded. "Grayson could have whoever he wanted." Trevor smiled, "He could have you on all fours in an hour Conner." My brother growled.

"How could you not tell me that?"

"Does it matter?"

"Yes." He looked at me. "I don't want her tricked into merely lusting for Grayson."

Trevor washed his hands and looked at me. "She's different today."

Conner shook his head, "She needs mental barriers place on her mind."

"Why?"

Conner sighed. I shook my head. He promised. "She's--" I made sure my eyes were covered from Trevor's view. My eyes would definitely glaze over with the amount I needed to push Conner's control away from his body.

"Never mind." I spoke through Conner. The power that comes with my advanced telepathy is incredibly addictive, hence the reason for the blockades.

Trevor started eyeing me. I released Conner and fell to my knees. There was a blue haze around me and I was laughing.

"Is she insane?"

Conner shook his head, being very slow in all his movements. Startle me when I was drunk on power and you can go flying through the next 4 walls of the house.

"She's-"

My mouth was open as I sucked the air out of his lungs, literally. I felt the power. It pulsed through me with intense waves. He hit the ground on his knees, catching his breath. I saw myself through his eyes. I stopped. I didn't want to be like this. I put my hands in my hair.

"I'm sorry."

Conner held his hand out for me. I took it and squeezed. Conner pulled me to him and said the safety word. I have a word that knocks me out. It's in some forgotten language, so I won't randomly pass out for hours on end. I wasn't ever really asleep with this power. I could jump from consciousness to consciousness, watching.

"She's a telepath. She's an incredibly strong telepath. If you're defenses are down around Casey, she can take you over, like she did me just now." Trevor's smirk grew. What a rare gem for my son. "She's also telekinetic."

Trevor was ecstatic, "She moves things with her mind."

Conner nodded. "She needs the blockades up or she'll drive herself insane. You've only seen a fraction of the monster. If I hadn't been her brother, haven't had the connection, she wouldn't have pulled the air from my lungs, she would've pulled my lungs through my mouth." He stroked my cheek. "She'll be the end of us all if she's allowed to roam uncontrolled. She's only out for her lust and her power when she's allowed to run free."

"Her lust? When was the last time this was of any concern, when she was 5?"

Conner nodded. "The blockades placed when she was 6 months old." He looked up at Trevor. "Casey fed off of everything that Grayson was feeding her. It's almost as Grayson is what she needs to stay normal when her barricades were down. She would have never allowed Grayson to kiss her like he did in my presence. Grayson would hold the greatest weapon on this planet eating from the palm of his hand if he ever found out to what extent he could control her." He sighed. "Even now she's intoxicated by Grayson. I think you can say you've gotten what you want from her. She'll let Grayson have her so long as she is given a dose again."

Trevor nodded. "I assume the same blockades will suffice." Conner nodded. "Put her on the table."

I was slowly boxed into my body as Trevor constructed solid blockades in my mind. They wouldn't last forever. I'd be safe for the next 20 or thirty years.
