I get up, and he joins me, lacing my waist. “Why peep when I can join you?” He kisses my mouth. “Let’s check on the baby.”
Five
In five hours, Dominic and Susana had baked and decorated two hundred cupcakes and made one hundred cinnamon rolls. The big cakes would arrive the next day, and Dominic’s team assured him that everything was back on track, and nothing would be missing.
The hot baker left with the promise of coming back the next day with the remaining order and no luck in convincing Susana to have a cup of coffee with him that night.
After bathing the baby, feeding him, and changing his diaper, I left the little one in Simon’s arms and joined Susana in the dining room. She was eating by herself like usual since the rest of us were on a liquid diet. At least they were. I often liked to eat for pleasure, which meant I ate candy and junk food.
“What? Do I have something on my face?” Susana asks, putting her silverware down.
“Why didn’t you accept his invitation to have a coffee with you tonight?”
“He has to work.”
“It was just coffee. It would take you just a few minutes, and you could invite him to come to our party tomorrow.”
Susana shrugs. “You promised we would have fun tonight with Richard.”
“Yes. And the night is long. You could have your coffee, and we still had plenty of time to play.”
“I don’t want to go out at night. It can be dangerous.”
“You live in a house with vampires,” I remind her.
She arches an eyebrow. “Humans can be more dangerous.”
I snort and tap my fingernails against the table. “What if I grab your phone and call him and tell him that we’re going to town, and you want to meet him?”
“What do you mean?”
“If you’re afraid of going on your own, I can ask Richard to take us. I’ll go for a walk with Richard, and you’ll spend half an hour with the hot baker, talking some more and being boring.”
She frowns. “Were you listening to my conversation with him?”
I grin. “Maybe.” Fluttering my eyelashes at her, I ask, “What do you say? Do you want to grab a coffee and maybe knead a bit more dough with him or not?”
She inhales sharply, pursing her lips so the laughter doesn’t escape. “There’s no privacy in this house.”
I look at her and show her my hands with their palms up. “What will it be? New cock from the hot baker?” I move my right hand up. “Or Richard’s cock, which is amazing, but you’ll have to share with me.”
Susana stays quiet for a bit as if she’s genuinely thinking about what to do. “We could always invite one of the hot bodyguards roaming around the property if you’re tired of Richard’s cock.”
I laugh out loud.
“No one is playing with the help. I need those men focused,” Richard says, entering the dining room and taking a seat next to me. He grabs my hand and brushes his lips against my knuckles. “Did I hear it, right? You’re not eager for my company tonight?”
“I’m always eager for your company,” I purr, leaning close and kissing him. “But Susana has an admirer, and he invited her for coffee, but she said no.”
“Oh.” He glances at her. “Doesn’t he please you?”
“He’s handsome, but he wants me to meet him in town, and I don’t want to drive there at night,” Susana replies.
Richard frowns. “Someone from town? That’s not a good idea.”
I lean closer to Richard, resting my hands on his shoulder. “He moved to town. He’s not from town.” I inhale deeply. “It’s not like we’re planning to kill him. I just want Susana to get laid.”
“She can get laid with us,” Richard states. “Plus, you said you wanted me to introduce her to handsome bachelors. Why choose a human?”
I rub two fingers down his arm. “Are you jealous of sharing our little witch with someone else?”
“I just don’t want outsiders coming here too often. I also don’t like the idea of having Susana driving to town to meet some random guy that just moved into town. We need to do a background check on him and make sure he’s not a threat.”
I arch an eyebrow at him. “Are you serious?”
“Dead serious. She’s our family. She can date and fuck only if we are sure that it’s safe.”
I look at Susana and then at Richard. “What if we go with her and watch them as they drink their coffee? You can make a background check tomorrow once you have his full name.”
“Going out tonight when we have such a busy day ahead of us?”
“You’re getting old, my love,” I tease him, stroking my nail against his cheek. “We have a nanny for the next few days. Let’s get wild tonight.” I move closer to his ear. “We’ve never done it in a car.”
Richard seems to reconsider.
“At least not in this lifetime,” I add with a naughty grin. Richard nods, and I kiss him to celebrate.
“I didn’t accept Dominic’s invitation, remember? His store closes early. He’s probably baking or sleeping by now,” Susana says.
I let go of Richard’s amazing mouth and walk to her, grabbing her phone from the table. Unlocking the pattern, I search for Dominic’s number. “Is it under the name of the bakery shop?”
“Are you going to call him?”
“Yes.” I grin as the phone dials, and Susana tries to take the phone away from me.
I sped to the door and Dominic answer.
“Yes, Susana? Is something wrong?”
“Hi, Dominic. It’s Emily, Susana’s cousin.”
“Oh, yes. How can I help you?”
“My husband and I are going to town for a walk. Susana said you invited her for a cup of coffee, but she didn’t want to drive at night, so she refused. I was wondering if you still want to grab that cup of coffee with her.”
“Of course. What time are you coming here, and where do you want to meet?”
“I was wondering if you knew somewhere quiet,” I say.
“Yes. You can meet me at my shop. I’m closed, but I’ll be happy to serve us coffee and let you try a few of my new cupcake recipes.”
“I’d love that! It’s a double date then. We’ll be there in an hour.”
I hang up and smile at a shocked Susana. “See. He’s into you.” I place the phone on the table and take her into my arms. “My sexy witch.” I rub her arms. “Don’t be nervous. Richard and I will be there. You can talk as much as you want, or not talk at all. Let Richard do all the questioning to see if he approves him to date you.” I cup her cheek. “Give me a kiss.”
Her lips pucker, and I kiss her as I wave my hand for Richard to join us. Richard wraps his arms around us and kisses the top of her head.
Susana gasps between us, her hand grabbing Richard’s butt from behind and the other going for my breast. “We still have half an hour before we have to leave the mansion.”
“Wouldn’t it be bad if Dominic finds out that Susana isn’t as innocent as he believes?” I ask, slipping my hand between Susana’s butt and Richard’s groin. “Someone is hard for us, babe.”
“Someone complained about my cock,” Richard says.
“No one complained,” Susana assures. Turning around, she faces Richard and kisses him.
He replies with open eyes as he looks at me. I nod for him to take charge. Leaning closer to his ear, I whisper. “Show her a good time, so she’s not nervous anymore.”
He removes his mouth from hers as she pants. “What about you?”
“I’ll watch and help undress her.” I circle Susana and kiss him. “I want to be extra horny for you tonight.”
He chuckles while Susana unbuttons his shirt and kisses down his neck. “You’re so hard already.” She moves down his body and kneels to open his pants.
Richard grabs her by her shoulder and pulls her up. “No sucking. Just take off your clothes and spread your legs.”
With wide eyes, she nods, and he steps back so I can help her undress.
Susana backs against the table. I move to the front of her and unbutton her shirt, ridding her skirt up her legs. “I’ll play with you, babe.” I kiss and fondle her while Richard glues his groin against my butt and kisses my neck and shoulders.
His hands move up and down my body, turning me on. His lips are soft against my skin. For brief seconds, I lose myself in his touch. My hands squeeze Susana’s boobs, and my lips remain parted as I gasp with need.
Susana cups my face and pulls me for a kiss. Our tongues tangle, and I grab Richard’s hands for him to touch her. I enjoy watching her pant when Richard’s touching her.
Richard’s body pins harder against mine as his hands play with Susana’s breasts. My pussy pulsates with need as he pushes his hard-on between my ass. One of his hands escapes from Susana’s body and cups my groin. His teeth nibble on my neck. He pants with need, and his other hand molds against my chest. I’m having a hard time concentrating on pleasing Susana when he’s this needy against me. Yet I know that I have to tease him longer so that he’s more receptive about touching Susana. He’s more willing to play with her when he’s high on lust.
Turning around between his arms, I lace my arms around his neck and kiss him long and hard. I lose my breath when he hugs me tight and replies to my kiss with sweet passion. It’s been a while since I’ve been with him, and I know how to discern his type of kisses. Depending on his mood, his kisses change from loving and romantic to needy and impatient. I felt his need against me, but I felt his love in our kiss.
Susana’s hand on my hip and her lips against my shoulder remind me that Richard and I aren’t alone. We can’t lose ourselves in each other. Not that night.
“Rich…”
I wasn’t able to speak because he grabs me from the floor and walks with me to the table. Sitting me on top of it, he keeps kissing me. I can barely concentrate on what’s happening around us, but I realize that Susana has moved behind Richard, and she’s traveling her hands up his torso and into his groin.
He removes her hand from his cock and pulls her to the table. His arm surrounds her waist, and she’s brought to our side. His lips move to kiss her. I open my eyes to watch as his lips crush against hers. A pang of jealousy hits me when she closes her eyes and surrenders.
Moments after, her hands try to unbuckle his pants.
He stops the kissing and looks at me. His expression puzzles me, and my heart throbs faster. “What’s wrong?”
His fingers wrap around Susana’s wrist, and he pushes her away from him. “I’m sorry, babe. I can’t do this.”
Richard steps back with a disoriented expression.
I stand up from the table. “What do you mean?”
He zips up his pants and fixes his shirt. “Call me when it’s time to leave for town. I’m going to…” He doesn’t finish the sentence before he escapes to the corridor and leaves Susana and me panting.
“What just happened?” I ask, looking at Susana.
Her cheeks are red. “You should talk to him.”
I pull her closer and caress her cheek. “Are you okay?”
She nods and mumbles against my mouth. “He wants you all for himself.”
I caress her hair. “He’s not usually like this.”
“I’ll take a shower and get ready to meet Dominic.” She pecks my lips, and let’s go.
“We’ll try again when we get back home.”
Susana shakes her head. “It’s best like this, mistress. I should find someone who wants to fuck me. Richard is only hard for you. You should know that.”
“I’m going to talk to him. Get ready to leave in half an hour.”
Susana pads to the door and leaves.
Six
Minutes later, I find Richard in his bedroom, changing clothes. Peeking, I knock so he can decide if he wants me to get in or just leave him alone.
“Richard, can I come in?”
“Yes.”
I enter.
“I’m sorry,” he whispers in front of the mirror, fixing his clean white shirt. He also changed into a pair of jeans, transforming from the renaissance hot vampire into the gorgeous modern one. “I just can’t pretend that I want to make love to anyone else but you. I love you. Only you.”
I pad my way to his bed and sit down.
He glances through the mirror. “Are you annoyed?”
I shake my head. “At first, it was to convince her to trust and love us. There’s no more need for that. She’s our family. She loves us. But she needs to find her own love.”
Turning around, he walks to me, lowers, and kisses me. “You have Victoria’s memories, and you know how much I loved her.”
I nod, caressing his face.
“Then, I should tell you that I love you even more than I loved Victoria. I know it sounds crazy or probably not crazy at all. They said you were her reincarnation, but we might never be sure. Still, from the moment our paths crossed, I’ve devoted my heart and soul to you. I don’t want anyone else. You better just kill me, my queen, when you have had enough of me.”
My heartbeat skyrockets. “A queen only wishes their knights’ absolute devotion. In return, she wants them to be happy. If just having me makes you happy, then I can’t go against your wishes.”
“Is Susana upset?”
“Disappointed, I guess. But this made her more open to finding her own lover.”
“There’ll be plenty of men for her to choose from tomorrow.”
Drowning in his loving eyes, I kiss him with all the love I feel for him. “Do you mean it when you say you love me more?”
He pushes my chest against his, opening his blue eyes on mine. “I’m madly in love with you, Em. Lately, thinking about touching anyone else but you repulses me.”
“Even Simon?”
He frowns. “You know the answer to that question, don’t you?”
I nod. “I won’t force you to join us again.”
“Aren’t you jealous when I touch her?” he wonders.
“At first, it was thrilling, but now I have to confess that I’m not as enthusiastic about sharing you with her.” He gives me another breathtaking kiss. When he releases my mouth, I add, “You also share me with others.”
“I do, but you also love them. I’m not in love with Susana. She’s pretty, but I don’t lust for her when we are together.”
I moan against his mouth. “I want to have you here and now when you say those things to me.”
He grins mischievously. “We have somewhere to go.” Pulling me up, he turns me around and hugs me. His head hides against my neck, and he inhales my scent. “I’d sleep with you every night if I could.” Moaning, he asks, “Are you swapping my bed for Susana’s when we get back?”
“I promised you some fun time in the car,” I remind him.
“We should leave then.”
“Yes.” I hold my hands to his, but we don’t move from our embracing position.
“Tell me to let you go.”
“I don’t want to. I love it when you hold me like this.”
He chuckles. “After the party tomorrow, we should take some time off. Maybe travel. Mrs. Fable is confident that she found the perfect nanny. We’ll have more time to spend together.”
“I love our baby too much.”
“The baby is coming with us. What I meant is that we could travel abroad and visit some of the places you always wanted. It’s been a crazy year for us.”
“Yes.” I purse my lips. “I’ll think about it once the party is over. I have to confess that I’m anxious about tomorrow.”
“Why? It’s your favorite time of the year.”
“I’m afraid our party won’t be a success. It’s the first time opening our home to the other families after the trials, ten months ago.”
He glues his lips against my cheek. “If I learned something about you, Em, over the past months, is that you won’t go down without a fight. You’re fierce and protective of us as much as we are of you. That’s why I love you more a
nd more each day.” Letting go, he swirls me around as if we’re dancing. I secure my hands against his chest. “Tomorrow will be a success. We have a lot more guests than ever before. Everybody is excited to come and see you again.”
I grin at him. “I just hope we don’t run out of food and drinks.”
“You have supplies to feed an army for a week.” He grabs my ass with a wicked smile and then slaps it. “Go get ready, my love. We have to take our little witch on a date.”
Giggling, I let him go, blow him kisses, and leave to my bedroom to change.
One hour later and two cupcakes with a coffee after, and we continue to happily chat with Dominic about his business and his passion for baking.
Richard asks him all sorts of personal questions about his family and hometown. Meanwhile, Susana is quiet, nibbling on her cupcake and drinking her tea.
I’m impressed by how pretty his shop is. Since I became a vampire, I don’t often come into town. To the outside world, I dated Richard Heavenly, got pregnant, and got married in less than five months. To the Vampire Courts, I turned into a vampire, got my memories back, and Richard returned all my fortune to me by marrying and keeping the appearances. Sammy needed an official father and family if I hoped my son to be part of the human society and obey the law of the country I’m living in.
“What about you? How did you two meet?” Dominic asks Richard.
“I’m sure that everybody around town already gave you the version of the events,” I tell him.
“They have their theories, but I’d like to find out from the source. I’m a sucker for a good romantic story.”
“Susana is also very romantic,” I say, grabbing my witch’s arm and shaking it. “She loves to watch romantic movies. Don’t you?”
“Is that a clue to where I should take her on our second date?” Dominic asks, grinning.
Susana looks at him with sausage eyes. I should slap some sense into her.
“She’s not usually this shy,” I tell Dominic. “I think she’s just tired because it’s been weeks since we’re preparing the party for tomorrow.”
