"Genesis." Olivia hissed at the newcomer. "What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here? I should be asking you that." Genesis retorted. "What are you doing here, Olivia? Why are you trying to steal my target?"
Ezra frowned. Target? Did he just almost waive away his right to life and become vampire food? He dropped the contract in his hand like a hot potato.
"Your target? What are you talking about? He's mine." Olivia stood up abruptly.
Woosh!
The pain that was banished by Olivia's touch returned like a scorned lover. Ezra gritted his teeth as he was reminded of his situation.
It was life or death.
"I can see that you're going senile in your old age. That's Ezra Matten, right? The Count approved my turning request." Genesis produced an official looking document out of thin air.
"Let me see that." Olivia snatched it out of the air. "What's this?" She asked incredulously. "Count Griffin also approved my request for Ezra Matten." She whipped out an identical document.
Genesis snatched Olivia's document. "This can't be."
"This must be the Count's plan." Olivia said calmly. "This way, he gets at least one."
The women gazed at each other in understanding while Ezra watched in confusion from the floor, his vision darkening once again.
"Can we postpone the argument? Someone's dying here." He choked out, raising a hand to gain their attention.
Olivia kneeled, placing a hand on his chest and the haze of death disappeared again. "This doesn't matter." she said to Genesis. "Rescind your claim. I found him first."
"Rescind my claim?" Genesis laughed. "I applied for turning first. Ezra should be mine."
"Kids these days. No respect for their elders."
"Elders? You're only a few years older than me."
"It doesn't matter. I got to him first."
Genesis turned to Ezra. "Why don't we let him choose? What do you think, Ezra? Who would you like to turn you?"
The two ladies pinned Ezra with their eyes. Olivia crossed her arms and her breasts were like a magnet for his eyes.
Genesis leaned forward and raised his chin with her fingers. "Eyes up here." She purred. "Don't you like what you see?"
Ezra was stunned. Even a corpse would have a boner at the sight in front of him.
Genesis leaned towards him. Her entire body radiating sensuality while Olivia's breasts were straining to pop out of her gown.
He lifted his gaze to the dark sky. "Oh lord. Is this a blessing or a curse?" He muttered to himself.
He turned back to both women. He could use this situation to his advantage. "I still don't know what the contract is." He told them.
"It's a coven contract." Genesis stood and stretched, showing off things that were meant for private eyes. On the skin of her stomach was a black tattoo of a spider that somehow managed to glow softly in the night.
"Olivia wants to use you to establish a coven of her own. Once she has you to herself, you'll never be able to be with any other woman unless she allows it."
"That doesn't matter." Olivia said calmly. "You'll be able to have sex with me as many times as you want."
Ezra frowned inconfusion. What were they talking about? Vampires weren't monogamous?
"Think Ezra, just you and I. Forever." Her voice held a hypnotic quality that had Ezra looking up at her.
"Don't be so eager, Ezra Matten. That's not you. That's her Aura manipulating you." Genesis laughed.
"If you sign her contract, she'll be reaping all the rewards. You won't be able to have access to even more... willing vampires." Genesis planted her hand on her hips and leaned forward. "Don't you think that's a loss?"
Ezra looked from Genesis to Olivia. "I don't understand what she's talking about but she does have a point."
"She's not telling you this because she wants to, Ezra." Olivia explained calmly as if nothing could phase her. "She has an identical contract to mine."
"I'm not like her, Ezra." Genesis sighed, making even that action seem like the prelude to a blowjob.
"I've been a hundred percent truthful to you while all she's done is lie and manipulate you. Besides, I'm willing to negotiate. I don't need exclusivity. I only need to be your priority. Sign with me, Ezra and you can have as many women as you want."
"How about this?" Olivia butted in. "I'll remove the exclusivity clause. I'll even add a clause waiving my mastership rights."
"See." Genesis pointed out. "She even has a contract with mastership rights. She's not going to let you be free the way I would, Ezra Matten. I am the right choice for you."
"Vampire Society is very dangerous, Ezra. Who would you rather have on your side?" Olivia said like the answer was the most obvious thing in the world and in a way, it was.
He'd rather have the grim reaper on his side in a fight than the goddess of pleasure.
"Whatever terms she offers you, I can offer better, Ezra. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. So, who would it be? Me or Olivia?"
