This is a feature, part of the Continuity features of iOS 8. If you don't want it go to Settings/Facetime on each phone and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls. It is NOT sufficient to turn off FaceTime; in fact, if it IS off you will have to turn it on to gain access to this setting. You can turn it off after turning off the setting if you don't plan to use it.

    You're both using the same Apple ID for FaceTime. On either of the devices, sign out of FaceTime and just use the phone number. Or create a new Apple ID to use with FaceTime.
