Balancer's Soul (36 page)

Taking a few deep breaths to try and
calm her nerves, which didn’t work, Sarah asked “Did you enjoy
yourself today?”

“Yes I did because I was
able to show off for you. I’m not sure things could get any
better.” His dreamy eyes spoke the honest truth and hope blossomed
in her chest.
“
Why
prolong this hungry ache?”
In a quiet
voice she asked “Are you sure about that?” He tilted his head,
searching for an answer. “Now that we are free to do as we like… I
was wondering…? If you…well … We?” Sarah decided to blurt it out
quickly. “Connor I want to be your mate. Do you still want to be
mine?”

“Yes.” No doubt even registered in
Connor’s eyes as he spoke immediately.

“Good, let’s finally become
one!” Sarah stood and grabbed his hand to lead him towards their
bedroom.
“
It is
finally time we become whole.”

There wasn’t anything else keeping
them apart.

It was time to connect.

“Good, let’s finally become one!” rang
over and over in his head. Sarah stood up from her chair and her
hair billowed out as she rounded the table to take his hand. Connor
couldn’t believe how red her complexion had become. She took him as
far as the bathroom and pointed at their bedroom. “I need to
prepare myself. Wait in there for me.”

She walked in and shut the bathroom
door quickly.

Connor followed her order
and walked in the bedroom. His heart started racing in anticipation
and anxiety because he began to fully grasp the situation and
wondering just exactly what needed to be done to become a Balancer
because it was simple to deduce that there’s more to it than simply
becoming one body. As he entered the room he heard the shower
start. Taking off all of his clothes, and putting them in the
hamper, he glimpsed at himself and felt a moment of hesitation. He
wasn’t a small man in
any
aspect, but Sarah might have complications
linking herself with him and hoped she’d be alright. All that he
wore now was the armlet and it help ease the thoughts of hurting
her. She knew what she had to do and his attributes must have been
accepted if she wanted to go through with this. She had seen him
fully in the shower once before. Connor lifted the bed sheet and
slid between them. As he heard the shower running, his mind
raced.

“I can’t believe my day.
Waking up with a beautiful woman, having a little bit of fun
expressing myself, making everyone gasp at I revealed my chest to
everyone and throwing all of my enemies in the mud. That was the
most fun I’ve had in my entire schooling career. Now I am home
waiting to wait for my one purpose for living. I wonder what the
full ritual consists of, but I hope that I don’t hurt her... What’s
going to happen when we become mates? What will we be capable
of?”
On and on his mind went until the
shower eventually stopped running.

Ten minutes later Sarah entered their
room wearing a light green bath robe. She walked slowly around the
bed and her face remained flushed not only from the hot shower, but
also from her shy nature and what she committed herself to doing.
She slid between the sheets and then took off her robe. All Connor
could be capable of viewing was her slightly moist hair as she
scuttled under the sheets. She slid closer until both of their
naked bodies touched.

She felt so soft and warm from the
shower that he almost lost track of who he was. Sarah looked up at
him with her long, damp hair trailing behind on the bed. “Connor, I
love you. Are you ready to become one with me?”

He looked down at her and said from
the core of his very being “Sarah, I love you as well. Yes I am
ready. Is there something I need to do?”

“No, I have to do this.
Just try and stay relaxed.”
“
Yeah like I can relax
now!”

Sarah pushed herself off the bed to
sit up. The cover’s slid down and for the second time he viewed her
delicate perfection, only this time outside the shower and he was
capable of using all his faculties and didn’t feel drained. Now
that Connor wasn’t almost incapacitated from utter exhaustion, she
looked even more exquisite than she looked before in his hazy
memory. She then pushed the sheet off his chest and she stared into
his longing eyes for a moment.

Sarah then propped herself on her
knees and straddled his middle. Her long, thick hair draped over
her shoulders, covering her beaded breasts. She then smiled in
complete happiness and arousal before she leaned down and kissed
him tenderly. Connor’s body reacted to it and as she removed her
lips from his, the look in her eyes said it was time. She lifted
herself up and tried to ease herself down, finding it difficult to
become one. With a little coaxing she found a way, wincing from the
pleasure-pain as their bodies finally connected into one being. She
let out a moan of pain and she accidently scratched his ribs
simultaneously. A slight mist of tears filled her eyes, but she
didn’t stop. This is what they both wanted.

As she made love to him,
Connor began to notice that her fair skin started to have a faint
glow.
“
Wait she’s
glowing…?”
And yes the longer they were
connected together her body continued to glow brighter and
brighter. Over the next few minutes a crackling and hissing sound
continued getting louder in the room. It reminded him of
electricity crackling the air, zapping to release the energy and
then came the smell of ionized air that saturated the room. He knew
the smell of ozone. Her body kept becoming brighter and her hands
started to glow even more brilliant than the rest of her body. It
was almost like suddenly staring directly at a 250watt light bulb
after your eyes had been adjusted to the darkest of nights. Her
body shook with tremors of pleasure as she came closer to achieving
what she needed to do.

What she did next he will never forget
for the rest of his life.

“Connor, this is the contract ceremony
of the Balancers. This contract is known as Balancer’s Soul.” She
said in a breathless voice of exhausted passion and need as her
chest heaved from the exercise and the sensations they shared. She
then closed her glowing bright eyes, slowly.

Sarah’s right hand moved to rest over
her exposed left breast, directly over her heart. With the bright
and glowing hand, she pushed in slowly. Her hand literally went
into and through her breast like nothing solid occupied the space
to halt her palm’s advance. The palm of her hand completely
immersed itself in her chest. Her body had somehow became almost
intangible, but he could still feel that they were connected and
somehow separate. It looked like she was digging for something
within herself, around the area of her heart. Her arm flexed
moments later and she pulled something out.

It was glowing the same color as her
eyes. An almost translucent and iridescent orb with of pulsing rays
of emerald green light rested in her delicate right hand. It
spiraled and rotated in her hand like it had a life of its own. It
was, without a doubt her life-force. It was the size of a baseball
and she held it with both reverence and joy. Her eyes gazed upon
the orb longingly, like she has always wanted to see it. Connor
felt the heat that radiated from it upon his very skin. It felt
like a warm sun in the spring time. He could feel the love and
purity of her spirit coming from the object that she pulled from
within.

Sarah looked down at him with glowing
eyes that said ‘It’s your turn.’

She rested her glowing and
empty left hand upon his chest, over his own heart. Connor felt the
energy in the palm of her hand soaking through his skin and into
his body, wanting access. He didn’t move, knowing that whatever she
was doing was important and could not be altered.
“
I trust you.”
Not a moment later after that thought, Connor
felt her hand push through her chest. There wasn’t any sense of
pain, but it was not a comfortable feeling either. A strange
pressure weighed heavily in the chest cavity from the added mass of
her hand. Connor felt her finger’s moving inside his chest until
she wrapped her fingers around something inside of his. She found
what she was searching for. Something that he never knew existed in
the first place, but there nonetheless. She had a firm grip on it
and pulled it gently out of his chest.

As Connor looked down he saw another
orb of pulsating energy, his. The only difference were in the
colors. Blue and brown lights mixed together as it swirled. The
orb’s color was a pulsating and warm hazel.

Sarah held each of the glowing orbs in
her hands and looked at them with a loving, tender smile. She held
both of her hands straight out in front of her and she slowly
merged the individual orbs together. As they touched, electricity
and plasma struck between and out of the two orbs. One strike of
the horde of electrical arcs went through his sternum and the weird
thing was, it didn’t hurt at all. There wasn’t a mark from the
strike, no pain, nothing… As Sarah pushed the orbs into one, her
body stopped glowing instantly. It was like turning off a light
switch. The only light that still shone in the room emanated from
the now much larger single orb that looked to be slowly fading
away. It shone with a mix of green and hazel colors and it had
grown into the size of a basketball. As it rotated above his body
it looked to be dissipating and disappearing, but he noticed tiny
particles flowing into both Sarah’s and his own body. The massive
orb began dissolving and covering and encasing their entire bodies
until Connor could feel more energy flowing into himself, and he
was sure that Sarah felt it too. As the last of the orb disappeared
the encasing cocoon of energy had saturated into their
bodies.

Sarah still sat on top and linked as
she breathlessly said “Connor, we are now true mates.” She looked
exhausted from the intense experience and she most undoubtedly was.
She started to fall backwards from where she sat and he caught her
before she fell. Connor turned and laid her next to him and through
half opened eyes she asked “Connor, I am tired. Could you please
bring me some food?”

“Of course… With whatever
you did, it sure looked like it took its toll.” he kissed her cheek
and ran into the kitchen feeling nearly weightless. Connor had an
odd feeling in the pit of his stomach that she wanted something
with sugar.
“
How
in the world do I know that she needs sugar? Wait…”

Connor closed his eyes and
focused on that strange sensation in the pit of his stomach and
could feel exactly where she stayed and how far away she
was.
“
So this must
be the feeling of knowing where your mate is at all times.”
Connor wasn’t too hungry since she did all the
work and grabbed a bottle of soda from the fridge and some cereal
for her.

He ran back in the room and saw Sarah
try and sit up. “Princess, let me help you do that.” Her legs were
and muscles were exhausted. He slipped back into bed and handed her
the two items. Connor was able to sit her up between his legs and
laid her back against his chest. She started with the soft drink
first and almost drank the entire bottle before she took a breath.
He had to stop her from eating the cereal just yet. “Sarah, let
your stomach settle first or you will not be able to keep anything
down. I don’t want you to get sick.” Then she softly burped from
the excess carbonation.

“What did you have planned while we
wait?” She leaned her head back onto his chest. “Ravishing me this
time?” She sounded a little livelier after drinking so much. She
sighed in blissful contentment as she crossed her ankles on the
bed. He then caught her smile as she gazed at her silver
anklet.

“For one thing, what were those orbs?”
Connor asked quietly in her ear.

She giggled playfully. “They weren’t
orbs, silly, those were actually the physical representation of our
souls! I had to collect our essence into the spheres before I could
extract them. Our hearts are the only place to gather and sustain
the energy until I was able to pull out both of our
souls…”

“Our Souls?” he sounded even more
confused because he truly was.

“Yes, our souls.” She snuggled into
his chest a little more. “Being a female Balancer I only had, in
the simplest terms, half of a soul. You have heard of the saying
‘Searching for your other half.’ Haven’t you?”

“Of course I have.” And she continues
saying calmly “Well it is a saying that originated from an unmated
Balancer searching for their partner, like I was.” She looked up at
him and smiled brightly. “Having a half soul is like you growing up
without the use your right arm. You can survive, but you still feel
like you’re missing something important. Now I can use the once
dead limb.

“I took my soul and your soul and put
them together. Now we are in the truest sense Soul Mates. And we
will be that way forever.”

Another question came out of nowhere,
but he was the one to ask. “What about the colors? They were the
same color as our…”

“Eyes.” She interrupted his rambling.
“Ever heard the expression; The eyes are the gateway to the soul?”
She pointed to her exposed chest. “That also came from Balancers as
well. Our souls are always the exact same color as our eyes.” She
looked at the cereal box hungrily. “May I eat now?” She pleaded and
Connor gave in.
