I was relatively baffled as to why he didn't seem angst about Dustin being a Dark species, so I asked him. "Is there a reason why you aren't concerned?"
Kai grinned. "One of the first things I'll need to teach you after I transform you into a vampiress is that you must always know your enemies. If Darks were truly that evil, how could anybody be allies with them?" he seemed to ask me.
"He's toying with me." I voiced audibly as I deeply thought about my encounter with Dustin.
"He is," Kai claimed. "Darks are better described as akin to the Hunters. The Hunters like to play chase with their prey before they feed. Darks enjoy tormenting their prey with fear before they feast themselves. They love feeding off of a human's fear before they kill them."
"Then I don't need to worry about him too much?" I hoped, blinking my eyes at him, and Kai smiled at me.
"I didn't say that. For now, he isn't a concern until after the votes. Unlike those troublesome Wings, Dustin obeys the laws of the Vampire Coven." Kai claimed.
"I guess you heard about what occurred on the stairs?" I whispered.
"Ace and Rose told me you have been snared to a female Wing's siren," he admitted to already knowing.
"How do I get her out of my head when she sings?" I frowned, searching for answers.
Kai leaned up in the water, and once he found my waist, he slid my butt to sit sideways on his lap.
"For now, you can't. Once I figure out who she is, I'll handle her," he promised, tucking a few wet strands of my hair behind my ear as his other hand held my nape.
Then he gently drew me closer to his face as he slanted his head while his hand remained on my nape. In a soft yet slow motion, our lips brushed against each other before we pecked them together. At several different angles, our heads rotated as we softly nibbled our lips together. As we continued, a bulky boner started to smash underneath my bare butt. My left arm wrapped around his nape, and my right forearm rested along his firm chest.
As Kai was lifting my legs to straddle his waist, we both heard. "Mommy!" Coraline cried from outside the bathroom door, and I felt like a horrible Auntie because I forgot we were babysitting her tonight, although I'm sure it was nearing sunrise.
After he pulled his lips away, he uttered, "I'll get her."
As Coraline was crying hysterically, Kai got out of the jacuzzi tub and quickly dried off his body, and then he was dressed in no time. In a matter of seconds, he left the bathroom to comfort his little niece before I got out to get dried off next.
I opened the door after I was dressed, and I was in awe when I found Kai outside the door with Coraline in his arms. He walked her back and forth to get her to go back to sleep. Her arms were tightly wrapped around his nape, and her head was lying sideways on his shoulder as Kai patted her back.
"I think she's almost asleep," he whispered when he saw me.
I smiled and peeked at her in the dimly lit lighting. Her eyes were closed while she was sucking on her thumb.
"I think she is. You're going to be such a wonderful father," I muttered, kissing his cheek.
Kai smiled. "You're going to be a loving mother."
A moment later, he took her to the bed and laid her down between us. In less than two hours, the sun would be rising soon. Kai took a mental rest to think, and I took a nap.
"Wake up, Uncle Kai and Auntie Victoria!"
My eyes blinked awake as I felt Coraline shaking my shoulder, and then she nudged Kai's shoulder.
"I'm up," Kai mumbled as he stretched his arms, and Coraline crawled off the bed as she giggled.
As she was going through her backpack from on the floor, Kai rolled my way and kissed me. "Did you get any sleep?" he sweetly asked me as he stroked the side of my temple with his fingers.
"I got enough," I whispered, still feeling tired.
At the front of the bed, Coraline asked us. "Are you guys going to get out of bed yet?"
"We're getting out of bed," I chuckled at her.
After Kai and I bathed her, he packed her backpack right when Chester came into the bedroom.
"Daddy!" Coraline cheered, leaping into his arms.
"How's my sweet little Vampiress? Did you behave yourself?" Chester asked as he hugged her and then kissed her forehead.
"She was an angel," I answered for her.
Chester chuckled. "You two should get ready. We're having a gender reveal party today, after the kids come home from school because nobody has school tomorrow, so it works out."
"Isn't Mom on bed rest?" Kai questioned Chester as he gave him Coraline's bag.
Chester replied as he took the bag, "Dr. Riley said she's better now. Before you disappear on us again, Mom wants to know what her vamp grandbabies will be."
"Actually, I had other plans today," Kai teasingly winked at me as he seemed to joke.
"Oh, know you don't! After we have this party, then you can go play with all the poisonous insects that you desire." I put my foot down, and Chester cracked up.
"You heard your wife. Now go hunt so we can get this party set up." Chester chuckled, patting Kai's back.
Kai laughed before Chester left the room with his daughter.
"I'll be back after I hunt." Kai kissed my lips.
"You come right back after you're done," I lectured my husband, and he chuckled at me before he was the next one to leave out the door.
As promised, within a few hours, we got the party started by evening at the hotel. Decorations, like balloons and festooned streamers, were hung, thanks to Veronica and her vampiress friends. And, of course, the food was cooked and set out for us humans. We even had a chocolate fountain and a variety of fruits and cookies we could dip into the melted chocolate.
Guests came from many different Covens that the Collin Coven had united their Covens together with by marriages. Nora couldn't come, because she was still sick with the flu.
During the party, the vampires mostly mingled around, talking amongst each other while the vampiresses enjoyed playing the silly games Veronica had planned for the party. Even the young ones, including the human kids and the teenagers, loved playing the games.
"Alright, everybody, it's time for us to see how many princes or princesses Victoria and Kai are having. Can I have the soon-to-be parents come to the center of the floor?" Veronica announced from the second floor from inside the gallery.
