The drive is fun. The girls are fun.
I am in the middle of the back seat of the SUV.
"I'm worrying about Mia. She is in the other car." I tell him, "I'm worried with Mia, Draven."
"She is in the front seat. Nothing will happen to her, Kitten."
"You know what I mean."
"I don't understand but I do know what you mean."
"D. She's worried because she's human. Her friend knows no one on that car. Get it?"
"I do, but Samantha is literally driving. She will make Mia feel comfortable."
"You're right. She was looking forward to meet Mia too."
"See?" Draven concludes.
"Must be difficult sometimes."
I look to Maria, not understanding her statement.
"Draven is always so sure and right about everything. You must feel like he's a robot."
I laugh "That is an amazing analogy, Maria. I knew you were special. And I knew how pure Ariana is too. You're good people. I see why my boyfriends like you."
"I'm not pure." Ariana whines, "I banged a lot of times. Honest to God. I did."
I laugh, "Not that pure."
"Maria is brilliant. I wish she were surer of herself." Draven smiles.
"Wow. A compliment. Maria what have you been up to? You must have a talent. Spill."
"I produce music. For myself." She says shyly.
"Really? That's why. Daddy D supposedly is a genius piano player and composer."
"That's why you know so much about music, Draven." Maria rush out.
"Do you know how many times he played the piano for me?"
"Millions of times."
"Zero."
She gasps.
"I know." I whine.
Z chuckles, "Being burned on the steak."
When we arrive it's dark. I know the boys been to the beach house during the week to rearrange the rooms, got some air mattresses and a mini fridge to stick blood bags in our room.
Sam is staying in an air mattress in the study room. She prefers to sleep alone. I get it.
Me and Sam start to stock the stuff the rest of the guys bought while my boyfriends are explaining how the house works (Z) and the rules they should follow (Draven).
"Mia is crazy. She's honest to her core. Fuck, even I got offended."
I laugh, "Favorite characteristic."
"I get how you are friends." Sam confesses, "I like her too. I was wondering how much of a shock would be that we had some fun together."
I gasp, "You horn dog. I can't believe it. Horny vampires. For fucks sakes, Sam."
She laughs, "Not yet. So... Do you? Got shocked I mean."
"What? Not because you are both gals if that is what you are implying. It's a weird concept to see my Mia and my Sam together. You know."
"I know. We will see. She flirts back."
"Then she likes you. She usually grabs them by the balls." I laugh, "I just want to see both of you happy."
"I know. We all will. We all are. Look around, Morgan. If it wasn't for you... If it wasn't for you, they would hardly leave the Palace."
I shrug, "Why is it called the Cold Palace?"
"The lack of fireplaces. Humans needed them before there was electricity. You know why we don't need them, but humans couldn't understand and called it the Cold Palace."
"That's hilarious and awesome."
Azazel and Mia are suddenly aiding us.
"Before you ask. Big dick bossy boy is doing his thing bossing everyone around. You know how I love to be told what to do, so I ran here." Mia speaks before I ask.
"Okay but Azazel and Draven are still the best cookers here."
"We help baby brother with dinner, you go calm Sire done before he breaks some one's neck."
"That serious?"
"Escalating." Z answers.
I get into the second floor and start to hear the yelling.
I run to it.
"Fuck you. Why do I have to share with them?" Cathya. Of course.
"I really don't care. I told you the rules. The study and my bedroom are off-limits. If you didn't voice any concerns a week ago, it is only absurd you're complaining now."
I put a hand on Draven's naked wrist. I smile at him.
"What does she need now?" I whisper.
"A room for herself."
I laugh, "Cathya. I believe we have plenty of room downstair for you to get an air mattress and sleep wherever you want. We can help."
"I don't want an air mattress."
"Then sleep on the couch. I feel the need to inform you though, that me and the boys usually stay up late, and I dance for them, and then we fuck SO HARD on that couches and armchairs. I wouldn't advise to be near it. Also, you can get pregnant just by sitting there. Caution."
"No need to talk like a whore."
"Morgana." Draven speaks fast.
"Well, I guess they really made a whore out of me." I laugh, "Don't worry. It won't rub on you."
"So, tell me Cathya, dear. What is the verdict? Do you sleep with super sweet Ariana, the musical genius Maria or the baddest bitch and my personal best friend Mia?"
"I take Ariana, she's small."
"Wonderful. Come baby I need you to dress me now." I take Draven's hand.
"Every Saturday night, I get dressed up to ride for you, baby"
"No Morgana, there's people around."
"Got a burning desire for you baby."
We go to the room and I dress myself in that black dress. I let Draven go help making dinner. I call Mia.
"Why are you calling me? I'm in the same house that you, nerd!"
"Come up. I need advice. Last bedroom."
Moments later she knocks on the door.
"come in, Mia."
"Fuck. This is huge. Is that the balcony? Can I see?"
"Yeah. I was insane lusty that day. I thought I would die if they didn't take me."
"You waited too long. Eighteen was too long, Morgan."
"It was not. I'm so glad I waited. They are perfect Mia."
"I been knew. I still don't trust the bossy one."
"It's okay. I do."
"so, you called..."
"Yeah. Do you want to take this red dress? Or the black."
"Why? It's not exactly my style, nugget."
"Just trust me, Mia."
"I take the black one then."
I take it off, "NO. Why are you butt naked?"
"Sorry. It's just a body Mia."
"They really did a number on you, kid. I never saw you this free. Congrats."
"There, not naked anymore."
"Do you have red lipstick. I would look good with this dress."
"Yeah, let's go to the bathroom."
We apply make up in 3 minutes and descent to main floor.
•
Mia and I descent to main floor laughing about nonsense.
"Morgana. Help setting the table in the dining room, please." Draven yells from the kitchen.
"Where's Z?"
"Dining room."
"Okay. I'll help."
"I'll help in the kitchen." Mia says.
"Here I am to aid my prince." I say entering the dining room.
There's three people helping already.
"Babe, fuck. Am I in twilight zone or somethin'? Didn't Draven's ripped that dress in black?"
"I got a red one. Also, shoosh." I rearrange the glasses, "Every Saturday night, I get dressed up to ride for you, baby" I sing lowly.
"What you guy want to drink?" Mia leans in the doorframe
"Morgana, what is she doing with that dress?"
"You know all Morgz outsits?" Mia asks annoyed, "What do you drink? Bossy boy is asking."
"Red wine." Ariana replies.
"Beer for me and Casper." Forbes adds.
"Water?" Maria asks.
I laugh, "I go help you, M."
The kitchen is a little tense. Cathya.
"Sam, what do you think. Who pulled it off better?"
"I love you, but Mia is hot as fuck."
I laugh aloud, "Right?"
"Morgana. My Queen. Did you make Azazel break a plate?"
"You know I didn't. Do you want me to make you break a plate?"
"No, Kitten. I want for you to sit everyone at the table and get them drinking a little."
"Of course." and I add whispering, "Daddy."
Me and Mia get the drinks (and Cathya) to the dining room in hopes she just sit down and shut up.
After fifteen minutes of laughter I see Cathya at least not frowning.
Azazel got us seated differently as if it was an official family dinner.
Draven will be at the head of the table, Sam will sit in the opposite head of the table. He explained to me that is because they are the eldest of the family present.
Azazel sits in one side of Draven and I sit in the other side of Draven. I told Mia to sit next to Sam but in the opposite side of the table for us to see each other all the time.
Next to me Maria then Cathya and Casper, he wanted to sit next to Sam.
Ariana sits next to Mia and Forbes between her and Z.
Azazel thinks this will delay any open aggression.
I agree.
While we wait, we drink.
