Lestats POV-
I never actually thought I'd get the opportunity to meet this lovely princess. The funny thing is I've only been studying her on paper for a week or two now. James told me that Lazarus has a new girl. The funny thing is that Lazarus was more of a playboy. So anything close to commuted is not his cup of tea. But who I am I to judge when I've had my own past as a playboy. The only difference between the two of us is that I lost my mate fucking around with other women. He's just got his mate and I can tell he's gonna fuck it up if he continues messing with my cousin Jamie. She had a mate, who she hasn't found yet. I know for sure Lazarus is Epiphanies mate.
I had some investigative work done on her background. Supposedly she's a runaway who comes from very well off parents. She has money in her bank account, so she isn't a struggling artist or struggling in general. She found Lazarus through craigslist and he pulled her to the local Cafe to be introduced to her. Lazarus is still fooling around with Jamie so the spell she did is completely irrelevant if he isn't putting in any kind of work to keep her. That's if he even wants her. She's been going to the witch shop a lot lately which tells me she's into magick. I went there once but that was when no one was there. She had purchased a love spell and other things. Which shows the lack of attentions and affection she's getting.
Seeing her today made me realize that my game plan was officially in place and secure. I know that nipping her might be extreme but a man like Lazarus had to see his trophy get taken from him and ego stripped from him for him to actually realize what's going on. So I guess I might be betraying him in the slightest good way possible as a friend. I lost my mate and wouldn't want him to loose his. I guess you can say this is my own little lesson on love for him. It may not be my place but it may have happened later even before I decided this.
I could tell she was nervous about what Lazarus was going to say and do. I was intrigued by how she'd react to the whole situation.

I got a call later that day from James saying that she had packed everything up and left the property. She left a note and nothing else but a shirt with blood on it. I knew exactly where she was and how to get to her. My scent was new in her which made it strong. My own mixing with her own. When things like this happen her blood has to merge with my venom and his venom. Which then starts a mini war in her body to see who's more dominant. He will most likely get to her before I do because he placed a bit of his blood inside of her. She's bonded to him in slightest bit way.
I packed light enough for a week. I got to my limo and got in. The driver shifted the gear into drive.
My goal is to obtain the land owned by Lazarus. It's nothing bad. Just business, he has land in many other states and he has a big strip of land and various properties in Italy. One piece of land shouldn't be hard to get in exchange for his girl. I would never fully mark her or touch her in the private areas she wouldn't want violated. I'm a man who's old school. Though I've only ever dated women to put in a show for the cameras, I never really committed. I knew deep down my will come back to me. I know how to wine and dine a woman, treat her with gifts, and really make her feel like a queen. I don't like having sex a lot even though I am an incubus. I belong to my mate, I will abstain for her even though she has someone else. I know she'll come back.

I arrived at the hotel and got out of the limo. I walk to my room that and already been booked by James. He had a room on the highest floor. The funny thing is that Lazarus didn't know I had James in my back pocket. James is of course my little brother, which makes it even easier. It's not manipulation if he is an actual private investigator and gets paid $10,000 by me. I lay on my bed feeling content with myself. Knowing this plan may actually go the way I want it to. The only thing is, trying to get rid of Jamie or any interaction with my cousin Jamie.
—
Lazarus arrived at the hotel not long after, he had a room in my floor. I heard when he left his room and the moment he entered their suit. It didn't take long for things to boil up. I felt it would be the right time to get the mix a bit spicy. I knock on the door.
—
"I guess I'll take the weekend." I said. The funny thing is that I knew Lazarus was right outside of the door when I said I'd mark her by the full moon if he didn't. I heard his heavy ass feet stomping down the hall to the elevator. He was not happy about it. I don't care, that's what happens when you're too dumb to realize what a good woman you're about to look if you don't get your shit right.
My only intention is to treat her like a princess. Even if I have to show him how the fuck to do that. I will do so gracefully, so that by the full moon he'll have a ring on her finger and would have agreed to giving me the share of land.I guess deep down I'm hoping this good karma might get me my mate back in some way shape or form.

The next day early in the morning around 1 am I got a group text from Johnathan. He basically told us that he planned a little spa day for Epiphany. He wants us to go with her so she is protected. They're house hunting, which is very time consuming and acting of them. Rather than leaving her alone in the hotel they have things planned for her. That's very caring and super considerate. "I'm in." I message.
By three am I had a nice week of activities planned out for the three of us. I texted the group chat about a shopping spree and they agreed it would be good. To my pleasure Lazarus agreed to it.

The next day I got my limo together and I was downstairs and inside waiting for Lazarus to get in. About five minutes later he got into the limo, taking a seat across from me. "What the fuck is your problem Lestat." He asked me. "I don't have a problem with you, I just felt a pull to this beautiful woman and couldn't resist. I didn't know she was yours." I said playing coy. His eyes shifted to a deep shade of red. I knew he hadn't fed in a little while and the new information hitting him is weighing heavy. "You lost your mate, so you know how that feels." He said. I chucked at his remark. "I lost her because I was fucking around." I said before being cut of by the door opening. Epiphany came inside and took a seat beside me. I place my hand in her legs. She didn't move them, I'm guess she was doing this out of spite towards Lazarus. It was killing him, I could see it in his eyes.
—
The sound of her low whimpers ripples through the walls. Though they were whimpers and every low, o could hear them. Lazarus wanted her and want to let her know who was her true mate. I laughed taking a drink of my whiskey and shaking my head. This man will never learn.
About twenty minutes later they came back. His aura glued to her own. "I didn't know fingering was apart of the steaming." I said to bring up my next good idea. This might be the best way usher in rules that will restrict his sexual appetite which will in turn help him to shift his focus from my cousin to Epiphany.
—
He didn't like the sound of my rules. But he knew he had not other choice but to of fear of what he thinks I may do to mark her. He knows how we incubus are super charming. "Ok." He agreed. I was filled with pure delight..

When I arrived at my hotel room I could hear him tearing his room apart. I laughed in pleasure.
