After the fuckfest with Dorin, I told him it may be the last time we ever sleep with each other. Dorin wasn't happy about it but he didn't argue, we were friends and cared for each other but I knew seeing Deimos changed everything.
I mean, the day I hunted Stefan, it was the second time I saw him.
I saw him back then at Boston in the 1980s, looking gosh darn delicious. I was visiting a friend there, when I first saw him in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, sitting there alone sipping blood wine. I knew from the moment I saw him that I wanted him like no other. I planned to approach him but when I saw my reflection in the window and then realizing, I had to back out. So instead, I watched him from afar; forgetting my entire purpose of coming there. I observed the man from distance knowing I couldn't have him.
Watching him sitting and reading a book made me realized that I yearned for simple things. Things I can never have back home. My mind was always Aiyana, protect Aiyana, take care of Aiyana and my girls. That's why I urged all my girls to get some hobbies. Months after seeing him, I tried a lot of hobbies until I found painting. It calmed me to paint, distracting my mind.
Dorin was a caring lover throughout the years, he's the one where I vent my frustrations and problems and he would listen. I would listen to his too. We helped each other, he helped me find myself after I lost Aiyana. I helped him start some of his businesses, hunt some of his enemies.
We both enjoyed our time even as I fed on him, knowing that even after this we can still rely on each other.
Now, as I sat on Deimos's lap eating his Dacquoise and feeling him watch me devour his cake, the warm feeling in me came back. I just hope I don't Kettle myself on him.
Feeling confident, I held out a fork at him and watch as he consumed the cake. It felt like we've been doing this for a long time. We're already comfortable with each other.
I already knew what kind of man he was, seeing as how he treated his close friends. Caring, cunning, and clever.
"I like to make it clear for you, Handsome. I may be a succubus but I'm monogamous when it comes to you. I expect for you to do the same." I said.
He rose an eyebrow in amusement. "A succubus in a monogamous relationship?"
"I have morals," I shrugged. "I'm over with the reverse harem phase, okay? Those were the wild days." I sighed at the memory of my former harem, they were all fun and all but I grew bored out of it.
"Interesting,"
"It's official then, I'm your dick warmer."
He laughed, it made my vagina weep. It was deep and sexy.
"Back to the topic of your assassination attempt." I took a bite, swallowing before continued, "Someone out there wanted you dead. I've asked around but I seemed to get the wrong people." I scrunched my face in frustration.
He frowned and laid a hand on my waist, his thumbs caressing me as if he's trying to console me. "You know my people could handle this, right?"
"Not this," I murmured. Cambions and Furies working together? A clusterfuck waiting to happen.
I knew why the Furies want to drag me back but I don't know why they need to kidnap a fae child in order to force the Fae to kill the Alpha Prime Vampire.
All the giddy and comfort in me was gone in a flashed, did Satan knew? I kept everything under wraps, only my trusted girls knew it. I stiffened under his hold but I quickly recovered before he noticed.
After years in mortal realm, Satan just now decided to drag me back? Why now, not back then. Did he knew about my father's lineage?
My whole family was careful about my father, every royal member was tight lipped about it. Did someone sung? No. Grandfather put the fear in every demon who knew, even an ounce of hesitation, Asmodeus immediately killed them.
Out of all mother's children, I was the only one who managed to gain my father's abilities. Grandmother theorized it was the reason why I didn't have my succubus wings.
I've gone quiet for too long that Deimos knew something was troubling my mind.
"How about this with our resources combined together we could find our prey much faster." I suggested to him, acting like I didn't just zoned out.
He thought about it, "Tell me, what do you gain from this?"
"I think our enemies are the same and I intend to find them and kill them." I wasn't lying. I already had an inkling on who it might be targeting him but in our world, it's never safe to assume that quickly.
I knew from the look on his eye that I got him.
"I heard you have your clients sign contracts, where's mine?" He asked.
My phone beeped, it was my alarm for my meeting with Erwan. I put the cake back on his table, his grip tighten as if he knew I was about to leave and was trying to stop me.
"I gotta go, Handsome. I'll see you soon." I leaned in and kiss his cheek.
โโโ
With the child Fae coming walking with me, we were heading towards Erwan's address in Napa where he held his business in winery. There's a lot of wineries and vineyards in Napa Valley. It was the nearest address he has to San Francisco, I had Wynona, Eulia, and Bellona come with me since Wyn and Bellona were the girls she come to trust in the past days since we rescued her, Eulia can speak Fae fluently. I speak Fae but I suck at it, the accent was too much for me. I have a dignity to uphold to. Eulia spoke to the child the whole time, entertaining her.
The child held my hands as Eulia sung and toyed the water above the child's hands. Eulia is an Undine, I rescued her when group of human men tried to rape her in the pond she lived in. Undines were beautiful water elementals, she was part of Asmodeus's creations but for some miracle, she doesn't recognized me. Undines are soulless until she finds her mate where she can gain her immortal soul. Undines were sensual people, they were fragile andโsoft. That's how I can describe them.
Eulia lived in a pond that I had created for her in my estate, she loved it. Her singing helped me relaxed in my estate and she bonded well with the other girls.
Eulia sung, walking ahead of us; swaying her hips while toying with her hair. The child smiled as she watched the water danced above her like Eulia was.
The Undine wore her simple deep V neck ombre tulle halter sleeveless, backless dress that I got for her since she hated covering her skin and preferred going naked if it was possible. For an adult woman, Eulia had that childlike attitude, I don't know if it was because of the incident or she was like that. All the girls in my group was very protective of Eulia since she was the only girl who couldn't kill anyone much less a bug.
The winery Erwan owned was like a palace, we were walking towards the castle. Eulia began singing in Fae and the child sung with her.
"Fioralba!" A female sobbed, we turned around to see the mother ran down the steps, almost pushing Euliaโpissing me offโand pulled her daughter on a tight hug. The action made Eulia dropped her water, almost splaying the Fioralba.
Eulia stopped singing and stared at the mother with a soft look. She was too nice for this world.
"Fioralba, my flower." Erwan blurred past me and tackled the couple to the ground, smothering the child with kisses.
This was something I yearned when I was a child, a father who would do anything for his children. My father left us because falling in love with my mother was dangerous for his kind. Every Prince of Hell wanted him in their grasp, so he went back to his home and hid. Mother went nuts because she couldn't stand to be without him, sucking every essence she could find and killing a lot of commonfolk demons until father heard about it and decided to come out and bring her to his home, leaving her children with their grandmother.
A succubus without her mate goes crazy in need, the need for his essence, the need for him, and the need to feel him. The mate's essence was a succubus' drug, it taste different than the other, they basically ruin the succubus appetite for others. This goes the same for Incubus.
A succubus lost in herself was not good, they'll suck the essence out of everyone until she has her mate beside her. I've seen mother suffered for years until father returned.
Children of Asmodeus were very protective to their mate. They'll kill anyone who comes to harm what's theirs. They rarely resort to violence since we are all sexual creatures, the violence are usually for the Children of Satan.
Yet here I was, hunting.
From what grandmother told us, the mate's essence was solely created for us and they are strong enough to survive if the feeding was too much. They were the ultimate essence bank. That's why we protect them at all cost. Like I was doing right now.
Erwan stood and spoke Fae to his family, the mother nodded and carried Fioralba back inside the castle as Erwan dusted himself off and faced me. "Let's carry our business in my office, this way please." He motioned us to follow him.
Going inside was ideal for us but not with Eulia, she won't last there before she's gonna freak out. She hated being away from the water but she wanted to come because she grown attached to the child.
"I hear that you have man made pond here, as you can see I'm with an Undineโ" I gestured to Eulia who tried her best not to fidget as the heat took toll on her.
Erwan stared at Eulia in wonder, Undine don't usually stray away from their home pond and nodded, "Of course, I understand. We'll conduct our business in the pond, she'll love the place."
If this Fae was Unseelie, he couldn't careless what happen to Eulia. It took Dorin awhile to actually give a shit about others.
The walk to the pond was a minute away since we blurred in a hurry, knowing a water elemental in the middle of heat won't last.
As soon as we reached the pond, Eulia cried in as she stared at the beautiful pond that was bigger than my bathroom. A rocky waterfall that has water plants, a small pond above the waterfall.
There were couple of tables and chairs, Eulia hummed as she lowered herself on the clear waters, not caring if her dress have gotten wet. I didn't care if she gotten the car wet, as long as my girls are happy.
I gotta call them other names because I sounded like a pimp to them.
Fembots? Too kinky.
Rack pack? Too suggestive.
We are definitely going to have a meeting for this topic.
"Eulia loves your pond," I commented as the four of us watched the Undine sing. There were other Fae guards few feet away, watching over the noble.
"Undines are so rare, so I take this as a huge honor." He said. Undines don't stray away from the water like Siren, Mermaids and other water elementals. But in the end, they'll return to the water.
"Tea or coffee? Erwan asked as he gestured for his servant.
"Tea." Urgh, I fucking hate coffee.
He turned to face me and said, "I have no doubt the Monte Rio incident was yours,"
I nodded as a Fae servant brought tea and cookies. "Merci," I smiled at the servant. "Yes, we went off script back there but it's all good." I sipped the tea.
"No casualties?"
"Can't say about the other guys," I shrugged.
"Good,"
I don't think telling him that I saved one of the kidnappers will help him at all. I have a schedule with the young cambion later. The second cambion died from fright, he couldn't handle Wynona's wraith form.
"The payment has been wired to your account, I personally wanted to give your people extra for their troubles." He took out couple envelopes and slid it on the table. Oh lร lร , tips.
"I trust that the Queen knows what we did for her family?" I didn't want to outright tell him that I expected the Queen to owe me a favor after this, that would be rude. I stared at him over the cup of tea.
"She is grateful and would happily meet you one day."
Gรฉnial! (Great!)
Lowering the cup, I snapped my fingers and the contract floated in front of him. "Both parties acknowledged that the transaction has been made, the client is satisfied with the deal. All I need is your blood signature, dear."
Blood signature meant there's no backing out and trying to negate the deal won't be pretty to whose blood was used.
We all watched as Erwan took a fountain pen and made a small wound on his wrist to dip the pen. He signed the paper, his blood shone making his signature glow gold. "That's it." I smiled, snapping my fingers again and the contract turned to ashes.
I stood from the seat, Bellona and Wynona mirroring me as Eulia pouted when she realized her pond time was over.
"It was a pleasure doing business with you, monsieur Erwan."
