Ch. 1.14

The scandal was terrible when Lariel flew in and saw them sleeping in an embrace in his bedroom. He made desperate sounds and screams pounding his fists on the floor.

"What are you pissed off about?" - Erin was not even going to make excuses for his behaviour slowly getting out of bed and hiding behind his clothes.

"Kamily, why did you let him? – hysteria from the entire voice Lariel.

"Don't you dare yell at her! - Erin reined him up shaking his fist at him. - She loves me and allowed me touch her. So what are the claims?"

Lariel overcome with grief covered his face with his hands.

"Why do you love him, why am I worse? Will you leave our baby for him?"

Kamily remained silent in response.

"Do you think he loves you? — continued the lamentations Lariel. - He uses your body to give birth to a child. Don't you see?" - Lariel wailed not holding back tears.

"Shut up, idiot!" - Erin growled, clutching his shoulder.

"Ouch! - Lariel writhed in pain cringing. - Don't you dare hit me!"

"Erin! Leave him!"

Both of them turned to Kamily lying in bed with an impassive expression.

"You don't have to fight because of me! You are brothers! Stop it!"

"Kamily come with me," - Erin offered holding out his hands to her.

"Don't leave me! - Lariel pleaded. - You won't see Eky if you leave me."

She thought about it and said:

"Why are you forcing me to choose? I am staying with my baby. And in general, you limit me, if I am one of you, then I want to be part of society and communicate with other syrinxes."

"Communicate? - Erin frowned. - Do not you understand what awaits you in this case? Everyone wants a close relationship with you."

"I told you about it! - Lariel added. - Your mana drives men crazy. They will not be able to control themselves and will spread their hands."

"Being locked up is not for me, - Kamily persisted. - Introduce me to society and entertain. I am not your property and I love freedom. And if someone can't control himself, that's his problem, let him put a lock on his mouth and blindfold when he meets me."

The brothers looked at each other in amazement.

"As if that would help! Syrinx senses you without his eyes. Everyone already knows about your presence here and it takes a lot of effort for them not to try to enter my house, - Lariel said. - You saw Darian's reaction to you, and it will be the same with everyone. Although the entrance is protected by a magical barrier, this does not stop some men."

Since then Erin has brazenly flown to his brother's house and taken Kamily with him returning only the next day. She pretended that nothing terrible was happening, and continued as if nothing wrong and lisping with the child under the heavy and condemning gaze of Lariel. He wanted to tear out all the feelings for her from his heart, but he could not - her presence alone evoked a burning passion and a desire for intimacy, which she did not deny him. She lay down to sleep next to him not rejecting his caresses and he did not restrain himself greedily absorbing her mana.

"Do you love Eki so much that you are ready to endure my harassment?" - Lariel wondered aloud after being close.

"What makes you think that I tolerate you? - Kamily answered him. - I like the way you please me."

"Better than Erin?"

"We just sleep together in an embrace, a few kisses and conversations on various topics. Everything is great but not like with you. You pampered me by sensual pleasures and now I'm addicted to them."

"That's how it is! So you do love me?"

"Despite all your actions I can't get you out of my head!"

"I am pleased to! - Lariel excited. - I hope Erin will someday annoy you of his tediousness and we will live with our Eky as before - just the three of us."

"Your father Darien won't let you. He will not back down from his intentions to make me his wife. It doesn't stop him despite he's too big for me."

"It infuriates me! Tell him you don't like him! Just it!"

"I could not hide my thoughts that he was handsome, and he immediately rushed to kiss me before your arrival."

"Ah, in our family of lilac-eyed everyone is like that from our ancestor Emilio. That's why I don't want you to see my cousins especially Imarinis. He will not leave if he understands that you like him."

"Darien accepted you as the most handsome of all the syrinxes, and I do not seek for new men. I am far from it."
