The Bonding Chronicles Ch. 07

He hoped that the stove would not be too difficult to manage once his parents were on assignment. Though he was certain he would be able to figure it out with his Guardian by his side.

An hour later in the world, and four hours in the glade, Andrew and Sara were floating in the cool waters of the pond. They had again spent a couple of hours trying to make sense of his gift for destroying electronics with no discernible improvements. Ten more LEDs were added to their pile of dead soldiers who had given their lives for a war that Andrew was losing hope of ever winning.

"What about Seth's text message, do you think that has anything to do with this?"

Andrew considered Sara's speculation and while he had already given it a lot of thought he was forced to admit, "I have no idea, kitten."

He shifted his sensitive dick, which tingled within the cool and soothing waters. Their efforts at trying to solve their problem having exhausted both of the lovers. Sara rubbed the bulge in her belly and smiled at her sense of completeness. She knew that only one thing could make her feel more fulfilled, and they had a job to do before she could scratch that most tempting of itches.

"Well, it seems like it might be. I mean how the hell did you know what was in that text?" Her voice sounded uneasy as she struggled to make sense of what had happened.

"I wish I knew. It's not like I read it, I just got hungry and had a craving for spaghetti." He looked over at Sara who was drifting a few feet away from him through the cool waters.

"Well, maybe we should focus on trying to develop that ability. We're not making any progress trying to figure this out, and maybe learning that gift will help you with this one."

"But I kind of like these investigative sessions..." He sounded nervous.

Sara smiled at him before responding, "We don't need the pretext, and since we are not making any progress it would be nice to focus on each other more completely, and just ignore the lights. At least until we have some new way to attack this problem."

Andrew swam over and pulled her into his arms, planting a gentle and loving kiss on her lips. "I'm so sorry if I have made you feel like an object. I just-"

Sara interrupted him with a passionate kiss that lasted for almost a minute. As their lips parted and they both regained their breath she whispered, "I know how you feel about me, and that is not what I meant. Even while we are trying to figure out why you are destroying these lights I know how much I mean to you, and how much effort you put into taking care of my needs first.

"It's just gotten to the point where I think we need to step back from it until we have a fresh idea."

He pulled her in close and savored the feeling of her pert C cup breasts squished up against him. "You are absolutely right."

Sara brushed back his hair and asked, "Have you tried any of those wards that Karen gave you?"

"No, honestly after the glade I am kind of scared to. What if my subconscious compels to into creating something like this again." His looked around the open space with awe.

"Karen trusts you, and I trust you, why don't you have a little more faith in yourself?"

His mind drifted to Karen and he was reminded of Sara's persistence on the idea that he would be getting into a relationship with the older woman.

She raised an eye at him and smiled as she studied his face. After a moment she knew what he was thinking about. Sara chuckled and shook her head before deciding to offer him an idea she had hoped would not be necessary.

"OK, you know how I feel about the whole Karen thing." Her tone was measured and consoling, knowing that he was not going to enjoy talking about his bond with their teacher and friend.

Andrew's heart raced and he felt conflicted as his desires were suddenly split between the love of his life, and his fantasy of a woman he worried would pull them apart.

"I told you I would help you, and I had an idea. I think Karen is amazing and would make us extremely happy, but you seem dead set against starting a relationship with her-"

"You're damn right I am." Andrew's desire to deny his feelings for Karen caused him to fuel the flames of his anger.

Sara hugged him possessively and said, "I am not going anywhere, my little nerd."

They shared that moment and as Andrew began to relax she pulled back and stated, "If you want to find out if your bond can be broken, I may know someone who can help."

In Andrew's excitement about this revelation he failed to see or sense Sara's intensely conflicted emotions as she watched the man she loved bubble over with joy.

"That's fantastic, sweetie. Best Guardian ever! Who is it?" His excitement showed through his every syllable.

Sara took a deep breath, and as she prepared to speak a tear rolled down her cheek and dropped into the pond that surrounded them.

"My father."
