Harmonizer's Evolution (Balancer's Soul cycle) (11 page)

He
i
s going to start
the newest
new project today.

Connor’s truck is just too big
and ostentatious
so
she
commandeered
her
blue car.
Her father anticipated this and made sure it ran properly.
It wasn’t long before the school
filled her windshield
. Today
she
had to substitute
the Latin class
es
.

What was hard
i
s that
Sarah could not only read
,
but also
write and even
speak
Latin. It was once a
s
common
a
language
as
English or Español
is today
. It’s a shame
that
she
cannot teach them
the
proper
languages
that are assumed dead
, but the public school system isn’t the greatest anymore.

The school day went by
fairly
quickly
which was surprising. Sarah suspected it to be more difficult to get back into the
timed cycles, but was proven wrong. The structure was all too easy to adapt to. A
nd Connor’s development
at home
held
her
intrigue
all day
. By the time she
arrived at the clearing
,
Connor had already done
more than expected
. He must have used his
arsenal full of
abilities to aid his progress.

The stream and waterwheel flowed and spun to
the
left. It attached to that side of the cottage, but the
new
addition was
being built
on the other side. Connor had already made the
foundation and frame work and put up the
outside paneling. It looked like the twin’s room would be just as big as
theirs
, if not slightly
larger
.
There was even a single
, south facing
window
cavity in the wall,
and
in
the same direction as the front door.
The hole was covered with a tarp.
It had turned the cottage
’s shape
from a rectangle and into an L.
Then
she
happen
ed
to look up.

Sarah’s
heart instantly beg
an
beat
ing
with
passionate
desire. Connor was hammering in the t
russes in preparation for a ridg
ed roof that merged in with the original
structure
of the cottage. He had been working all day and w
ent
shirtless. He had worked up a gleaming sheen of
manly
sweat over his rock hard
and bulging
muscles. Just the sight of him sent an electric current through
out
her
entire body
,
in the most exciting of ways.
You’re focused on working on the house and probably haven’t even realized I’m watching you from the shadows
. She then began biting her
lip in a restraining attempt.

“Are you just going to
just
stand there or are you going to say hello?”

Connor asked playfully while still hammering away.
“How long did you know I was here?”
she
thought innocently.

He stopped hammering and turned his piercing hazel eyes on
he
and another thrill shot through
the
core
of her body. Sarah
had to stop biting
her
lip because it was g
etting painful. He then smiled her favorite smile and she
could feel his love wash through
her
.
“You of all people know it’s practically impossible to sneak up on me. I could sense you ever since you entered the forest. It’s like I can almost sense everything that’s around me and being so attuned to you has made sensing you all the easier.”

She
tilted
her
head.
“Harmonizer thing?”

“Yep
…
Probably.
”

She
stepped out of the shade of a tree and walked towards the front door. “Just give me a minute to put these thing
s
away and I’ll give you a hand.”

Just before she
even
reached the front door Connor dro
pped from the roof and barred her
path.
A
largely muscled chest
,
that w
ill forever be
branded with a black X
,
filled
her whole
vision.
He held up a hand. “You know that I don’t show you a surprise until it’s complete. Please promise me that you will not do anything to spoil this surprise. I want you to see the full effect of what is in store
for our children
.” His eyes were calm and pierci
ng and
she
couldn’t tell him no
with all that’s building inside her
. W
hen a faint smile
barely
tugged at the corner of her
mouth
,
he g
rinned. “Thank you, Princess!” H
e leaned d
own and gave her
a quick kiss. He made sure his sweaty body didn’t touch
her
but the sensation drilled trough a third time. “Just wait a moment.”

He left
her
standing just before the entryway
and she
could hear hi
s expedient movements inside their
home. There were quick sounds of hammering and just as quickly he
came
back and stood before
her
.
Sarah
asked playfully “Are you trying to hide some of the evidence from me?”

“Why of course. You’ll love it though.” He grinned and then looked up. “I have about four more hours of daylight
remaining
. When I’m finished
making the roof
I’ll clean up and start dinner.”

Sarah
knew she
needed to clear
her
mind because
her
desires were running rampant. “Alright, but I’ll cook dinner
for us
and have it ready by the time you fin
ish working.” He smiled, gave her
another quick kiss and
lazily
jumped back up
twelve feet,
onto the unfinished roof of the twin’s room.

She
quickly went inside when he started hammering again.
Connor had knocked out
a section of
the
kitchen
wall and made a new doorway, but it was only covered with a
blue
plastic
sheet
that
had been
nailed into the wall. Connor hadn’t had time to make a door so he covered the entrance and placed objects on the bottom to keep them from making the sheet flutter.

She
had to
sit at the table and focus on her
breathing
while the ceiling fan tried cooling her down. Then she began to whisper
to
her
self. “Sarah, calm down and
exercise
some restraint
. That’s how you ended up in this predicament
in the first place… But those
muscles
…
” Her
hands slowly reached for
her
bel
ly and her
lips
naturally
smiled despite
trying to regain control. “It’s all worth it just to have you two
though
.”

He put on the roof before the light
of the sun
faded
over the horizon
, but the room wasn’t entirely sealed
yet
he explained
.
She
prepared
a large ham
-
steak dinner and they
ate well.

That night
her control vanished when she
made love to the one man
she
has
always
been
destined for.
Her
self-control was nothing next
to the overwhelming love that they
feel for each other.
She went to sleep feeling like gelatin.

By
the
return
home
of the next day
,
the roof was
completely
on
and the room sealed
, nice and secure
from the element
.
Connor even made a simple, but elegant
looking
door that separated the kitchen from the kid’s bedroom.
Other than that
,
she
didn’t hear too much work being done and it was difficult not to
ask. Connor would only smile her
smile and it wasn’t difficult to imagine that it is going to be perfect.

On Wednesday Sarah
didn’t hear Connor hammer anything
all day when she
returned
home
. All
she
could hear was a repetitive sound like slicing
and scraping
behind the closed door
.
Then Connor would
usually
take out a bag of trash and dump it outside.
Covertly, she
snuck a peek at what he threw out and it was
nothing but
a pile of
wood shavings.
Why d
oes
he always
have to make thi
ngs so tantalizingly mysterious?
She wondered.

When
Sarah
fin
ally returned home on Thursday she
found Connor laying
out
in the
semi-high
grass.
His legs were
mostly
straight and his ankles were crossed. His arms folded back
behind
his head
and
used them like a pillow. Glancing at
their
home revealed that he finally finished.

Sarah
walked right up to him and saw how serene his expression was
and that he had
only
taken a shower a short time ago
.
His hair was still wet and he
recently
shaved.
She
remembered what that
serene
face meant. He was relaxing with nature
or something like that
. It
i
s something Harmonizer’s
had
to do or else they become dangerously destructive
in an attempt to find nature anyways
.
The strangest thing to watch was
from
the subtle movements of the grass moving without wind and it seemed to caress him.

He cracked an eye and gave her
a playful smile
as he rested in the grass
.
H
e
spoke calmly and contently. “Are you ready?”

“For what?” She
asked teasingly and he knew that
she
was.

Despite his enormous physique he moves silently and gracefully
, like a jungle cat
. He stood up and
their
fingers sought each other. He took
her school
bag and led the way to
the
newly expanded home. He opened the door an
d placed the bag on the table. She
realized he cleaned up the room and everything looked in
perfect
order.
At least he
i
s good at cleaning up after himself.
