The Strong Bond novel Chapter 81

"Can't you tell?" He says looking over to Blair who looked like she was trying to shoot lasers out of her eyes at him.

"Um no, you still look like a doof muncher that I've grown up with" Blair replies squinting her eyes at him. Keegan didn't let her snippy remark get to him. He just rolls his eyes as he walks closer to her.

"Look closer cuz" he tells her crossing his arms in front of her. Blair leans in closer eyeing him closing, but doesn't see anything different. She begins to walk around him trying to see if she missed something. "Do you see anything?" She asks Lena, but she just shakes her head. Lena had to bite the inside of her cheek so she wouldn't smile. She could tell Keegan was messing with her, but didn't want to say anything.

Getting frustrated that she couldn't figure it out. She started to take a closer look as she pokes him, till her Nana called out to her.

"Keegan leave your cousin alone, and Blair get your gullible behind over here" Clair calls out making a few of them break out in laughter.

"Ow" keegan whines rubbing his arm.

"That's what you get for being a little shit nugget" Blair grits before making her way over to her Nana.

"Babe, Blair punch me, will you kiss it better" Keegan pouts to Viola who just rolls her eyes at him. "Did you just roll your eyes at me" he says sounding astonished.

"Stop being a baby" she teases, but leans up on her tippy toes and places a kiss on his cheek. Once her lips made contact with his skin, something in him came more alive. The feel of her lips affected him on a whole other level. The once flicker of tingles that dance after she kissed him, were now replaced with a more intense feeling. He found himself wrapping his arm around her tiny frame, and capturing her lips with his.

Kissing her was affecting his body, and mind more differently too. But what sent him in a frenzy of full on need of her. Was the silent moan that slipped from her lips as she deepened the kiss.

Viola didn't understand what came over her mate, but something about this kiss was different. She wasn't complaining that was for sure, but kissing him felt deeper than before. Keegan finally broke the kiss leaving them gasping for air.

"Excuse us" he said as he grabs Violas hand, pulling her to follow.

"Damn, what did you're Nana do to him" Ashton's jokes, as they watch Keegan go from pulling his mate behind him, to throwing her over his shoulder.

"His senses are in-heightened" Clair says as she begins with Blair. Ashton makes an O face, understanding now.

"Explains he's need for privacy" Keith states. "Wonder what Blair's will be" he adds redirecting his attention to where she stood.

"That just gave me the chills how you just looked while saying that " Keith states shivering, making both girls giggle.

"Try being mated to it" Ashton's snorts.

"I feel sorry for you bro! You're locked in for life. You couldn't hide if you wanted too" Keith replies in mock horror.

"She's lucky I love her just the way she is" Ashton's states proudly, wrapping his arms around her, and placing kisses all over the side of her face. Blair laughed at his playfulness as he continued to give her wet kisses.

"Lena" Clair calls out catching everyone's attention. "It's your turn dear" she says smiling.

Lena's eyes snap open as her Nanas hands fell from her face back to her sides. Both stared at each other wide eyed. A mixture of expressions cross their faces, from surprised to confused.

"What happen?" Damian calls out, jogging over to both women. As soon as the feeling of uneasiness passed through him, he knew it was coming from Lena.
