Gemini by Dylan Quinn Read Free Book Online

across my chest again, then she shifted between her feet and began to chew her bottom lip, which now stood just fractions from mine.
    Oh, how I wanted to kiss her, to crush my lips to hers, but the timing wasn’t right. In spite of her telling body language inspiring my desirous thoughts, she wasn’t ready.
    Patience was a virtue I’d not yet mastered.
    "Of course." I held my resolve and inched back. "I would love nothing more.”
    “Good.” Her body relaxed. She removed her phone from her pocket. "What's your number?"
    After we exchanged phone numbers, she reached for the door and pulled it open, preparing to go inside. She stopped briefly, and then craned her head back toward me. "See you soon."
    I bowed my head and smiled.
    “See you soon, love.”
     
     
     
     

~Chapter Seven~

    It was nine o'clock when we got back to my building. Cade was sweet, almost chivalrous. It still hit a nerve that he just happened to be there when I broke down. It was only like, seven-thirty. I didn't think normal people were out so early.
    I jingled my keys loose and opened the door of my apartment. The entire family sat in my front room, staring.
    Intervention?
    I barely made it in the door when Phoebe tackled me. "Oh my gosh, I was so worried about you." Her grip was merciless.
    "I'm fine." I peeled her arms off, dropped my keys on an end table, and sat in my brown leather recliner.
    Everyone glared in my direction.
    "Okay, what's going on?" I asked.
    Phoebe sat beside Rainah on the couch, while Micah and Remie stood beside the wall by the flat screen. Each had an indistinguishable look.
    "Spill it." I grumbled.
    Micah shoved his hands in his pockets. "Remie told us what happened. Who is that guy?”
    Seeing Cade's mark confirmed everything. So many questions were burning in my brain.
    "His name’s Cade. And he's—one of us."
    "He said his last name was Adams," Remie said.
    “Yeah? Wait. Son of a B—” I pressed my lips together.
    So we have the same last name. So what? If he is my Gemini, I guess that would make sense. Not the biggest shock of the day. He knew about my healing, too. He obviously had less of a learning curve than me.
    Maybe we had met before. That would explain this weird connection I felt pulling me to him every time he was near.
    "Okay. So what’s the problem?” Silence. And more blank stares. "What’s going on?" I glared at Remie.
    He blinked. "I know who you are. And Cade."
    “Ohhh—you know who I am. Am I supposed to be shocked by this discovery?” I couldn’t hold back my snark.
    He tilted his head and wrinkled his nose, then blew out a harsh breath.
    "Spare me.” Rainah jumped in. “This dumb blonde routine is starting to piss me off. This affects all of us, tell us what you know.”
    "I'm serious, I have no clue what you're talking about. And after the morning I've had—” I stood from my chair. “I'm so not in the mood for any of this."
    Phoebe came over and grabbed my hand. "Does your ring always glow like that?"
    “What glow?” Remie asked, eyes narrowed.
    I glanced down and pulled my hand from hers. “How can you even see that?”
    I pushed my way toward the door, but Micah moved in front of it and stood guard, his arms crossed over his chest.
    "You can't bail every time something needs to be hashed out." Remie moved toward me. "You can't run from who you are."
    "Well, why don’t you tell me who I am, then?" I huffed, sat back down and kicked up the footrest.
    Sure, I knew about being part of some supernatural bloodline, which explained why I could heal myself. But Sophie never really said what being Genesis meant. Just told me I’d find out in time and to focus on reuniting with my Gemini.
    "You have the Genesis birthmark, like us,” Remie said. “You know what that means, right?"
    "Not really,” I admitted. “I only know a few random things Sophie told me. And apparently, she wasn't very forthcoming.”
    "Okay." Remie scratched his chin. He walked over and kneeled
