“Why and who would be calling the staff line and not my personal number?” He just shrugs at me and waits by the wall.
“Hello?”
“Maya? It’s Amelie.” I just sit and wait. I don’t fucking reply to her. “If you’re still there and listening, I’ve been receiving real help. I called Ross a few days ago and he explained to me again what happened with our parents. I just…. Wanted to apologize. I’ve been horrible. I almost got several people killed, including Troy.” I can hear her stifle a sob. “I’m so sorry, Maya. I’m going to be here for a few months. Staying with you and getting clean and sober helped, so are my therapists. I just wanted to call and say that.”
“Okay, hope you get better, Amelie.”
She sobs. “Thank you.” I hang up and glare at the phone and hand it back to Gerard.
“Should I believe her?”
He shrugs. “Not my circus, not my monkeys, Ms. Strom.” He leaves and I throw a pen at him. He picks it up and puts it in his pocket and nods at me before he continues walking towards the stairs.
“You’re an ass, Gerard.” I hear him chuckling from down the stairs and I roll my eyes.
I check on Luna and Mark and they’re still napping, so I change into workout gear: a sports bra, some yoga pants, socks, and tennis shoes, and throw in some nipple pads. I jog down to the gym and start with cardio and weights, before moving onto the mats and doing martial arts and hitting a bag for about an hour.
“Hey babe, someone is hungry.” I look over my shoulder and see Mark standing in the middle of the room with an alert Luna staring at me. I smile at her and make my way over.
“Let me go wash up really quick. Be right back.” I take a quick shower and come back out in a towel and take the baby to walk back to the house. “You going to stay here and work out?”
Mark nods and walks over to the wall of weapons. Yeah, might as well. He drags a dummy from the wall to the center of the room and I wave to him and walk across the grass to the living room to sit and feed my little monster. “Hi baby, ready to eat?” She just stares at me and tries to get to my breast through my towel. I chuckle at her and get situated on the couch before I turn on the TV.
“Hello girls! Want me to bring you a snack?” Maggie walks over to me and smiles.
“Sure! A protein shake would be great, I just got back from the gym.” She nods to me and I hear her calling for Malek to work his blender magic. He brings me a chocolate and banana flavored protein shake and takes a seat on a chair by me.
“That gym is killer. How was your work out?”
“It was relaxing! I missed working out.” He nods and we relax and watch the movie. I’m almost asleep by the time Graham, Collins and Nolan walk through the door. They see my “outfit” and chuckle.
“Towels are the new dresses, huh?” Nolan gives me a kiss on the cheek and picks Luna up and nuzzles her head with his nose. “Mmm, I missed my girls.” Malek gets up to plate us whatever he’s had cooking in the oven.
“Everyone ready for dinner?” We nod and follow him to the kitchen. Nolan passes the baby off to Collins and I sit and eat. Mark comes in and sees I’m still in my towel and smirks at me.
“She’s been punishing me all week, good luck this weekend with her.” They all look over to me and I smile sweetly.
“He shouldn’t have been such a tease at the damn club!” I pout at them and continue shoveling food in my mouth. They chuckle and I head upstairs to change into some pajamas and put Luna in her bassinet. “Hello, my babies, want to come with me to the magic room?” I pick up Lola and Polly and set up the video monitor to bring with me down the hall. I set it on my desk, and I work on making more potions to stock up the closet. The guys take them with them every week to campus, probably stocking up their suites or some shit. I know that the twins took a few boxes full when they went on their trip. They should be home tomorrow.
Collins walks in with his hands in his pockets. I smirk at him as I check him out. His auburn hair is still styled perfectly to the side, his crisp, gray button-down dress shirt is tucked into his black slacks and he’s just fucking perfection. His navy-blue eyes are sparkling with mirth and he crosses his long legs as he leans against the wall. “Hello, beautiful.”
I smile sweetly at him, “Hello, Collins.” I slowly lick my lips and get up to walk up to him. “I missed you.” I slide my fingers from his neck down to the top of his pants. “Want to play?”
He groans. “Did you figure out birth control?”
I nod. “Yeah I took a potion I made today. It should work.” He gives me a wary look but doesn’t stop me from dragging him next door into the BDSM room. I look down at the video monitor and see Graham and Nolan in the master bedroom getting into bed after they both give Luna kisses on her forehead.
“If you’re sure, babe. I can always pull out.” I shrug at him, like I care. I just need his cock in me. I start shucking off my clothes and walk over to the shelves that are lines with toys and pick out a pocket pussy and some lube.
“Get naked and lay on the bed.” He gives me a heated look and slowly undresses and walks over to the bed. Damn, this man. All of his muscles are contracting as he walks and he slowly sits on the bed, parts his legs, and palms his monster cock. “Did I say you could touch yourself?” I tsk at him and go back to the wall for a flogger. I set everything down and walk back to the wall that’s filled with ropes and chains. I finger them and take a look at him. “How bad have you been, Collins?” I muse out loud and pick out some rough rope.
I tie up his wrists down to his elbows and tie the rope up to the top of the canopy. “Better. Don’t move.” He nods at me and I get down on my knees and lick his cock for a few minutes like a lollipop. “Mmm. I can do this all day, baby.” He gives me a glare but doesn’t speak. I smile at him. I grab the lube and pocket pussy and lube up his cock. I slowly slide the toy down his thick, long length and pump him slowly up and down. I do this until he’s trying to pump up his hips for me to go faster and I stop. “What did I say about moving?” I pull it off of him and grab the flogger and hit him across his chest, nipples, abs, and all over his back. He looks so pretty all pink for me.
“Are you going to be good?” He nods and is panting hard, is pupils are so blown that his blue eyes look black. I nod at him and straddle his lap and rub my clit up and down his lubed-up cock. I moan and then I grab him at the base and slowly start to slide down. I groan out loud and start going faster until I’m slamming down as far as he’ll fit. I dig my nails into his shoulder as I use my other hand to rapidly circle my clit. “Fuck yes.” I moan and he’s so close, I can feel his cock swelling in me and he’s trying to shove his hips up. I slam down, harder and harder, and my pussy contracts and clamps down hard on him.
“Fuck babe, get up, get up, I’m about to come.”
I roll my eyes at him and roll off of him and lay down on the bed on my back.
“I can’t use my arms, babe, can you get me off?”
I smile evilly at him. “Should I?” I make him wait for a few seconds before I give him a kiss and grab the pocket pussy and grip it as hard as I can while I pump his cock with it. A few pumps and he’s groaning loud and releases into the toy. I remove it and suck his dick clean. “How was that?”
“Fuck, you’re a goddess. A damn sex goddess.” He groans out and tries to move his arms again.
“Ah, you want to be untied?” I laugh and stand up on the bed and untie the thick, rough ropes. I rub his wrists and grab a healing potion from the toy wall. “Glad we keep these in here, oops.”
He rolls his eyes at me. “I’m fine babe, just some rope rash.” I shrug and still pour it on his wrists and rub it in. I grab the pocket pussy and take it to the ensuite, rinse it out, sanitize it, and put it on the drying rack that’s on the counter.
“Ready for bed?” He sleepily nods at me and we walk to the master and get into bed in between the other men and pass out. Finally sated, for now.
Chapter 17
Maya
__________
Walking down the aisles of the clothing store I’m in, I start grumbling. “They don’t have anything in black that would look good on me. I just need to get sized and have shit tailor made or some shit.”
Nolan looks over to me and winks. “I’m not complaining.” He stares down at my tips and rubs my nipple through my shirt with the tip of his finger. “Look at these babies. And that ass. You’re curvy in all the right places.” He grabs onto my hips and ass with his big, sexy hands. I moan.
“Stop it or else we will be fucking in the middle of this store.”
“So?”
I smack him on his chest and push Luna’s stroller to the makeup section and throw a few things in the basket. We head to the front to check out and walk back to the car. This morning over breakfast, Collins told us that he’s finally selling his family home. He kept it all these years because it’s where he grew up, but since it’s only a four-bedroom house, he knows we would never be able to really comfortable be there, and it’s pointless having two homes in the city. His mom moved up north after she retired from teaching at the academy a few decades ago and never stays in that house. We have the room at my estate if she ever wants to come down.
“Do you think it’ll be hard for Collins to sell his house?”
Nolan shakes his head, “It’s not what you think. He got rid of anything that had to do with Elle right after her death. It was too hard for him to be there, and he usually just stays on campus anyway. It’s more nostalgic for him since he grew up there and it has a lot of memories.” I nod and mull it over. The twins should be home by the time we get there, and all of the guys are going out to celebrate their biggest PI job that they’ve completed, tonight at the club. I asked Penny and Danika over for our girl’s night since Luna has been fussy today and don’t think she would do well with a sitter.
I look back into my rearview mirror and check on her through the mirror that’s facing her on her headrest. I hope she’s not getting sick. I’ll have Beatrice come by tomorrow or something. “You guys going to have fun tonight?”
“Fuck yeah, I love that place. The performances at the club are fucking incredible. That was a brilliant idea.”
I elbow him, “Don’t rub it in, I still haven’t even been able to watch one yet!”
He chuckles. “Don’t worry baby, when Luna is feeling better, I’ll take you there and we can stay there all. Night. Long.” He picks up my hand and sucks on my fingers.
“Do not even start right now, you dick!” He sucks on them one more time before placing my hand on my lap. We pull up to the house and I see Troy and Ross’s black Escalade parked by the front door. My favorite twins are home! Nolan gets out and picks Luna up from her car seat and I grab my bags to rush inside. They’re standing in the kitchen, and I throw down my bags and jump up at Troy for him to catch me.
“Hey baby, did you miss me?” He gives me a lingering kiss and passes me over to Ross for the same treatment.
“Yes! I can have sex again!” They chuckle at me and give me winks.
“Too bad you’re not coming tonight, we could have been the performers.”
I glare at him. “Just for that, I’m tying you both up in my playroom while I fuck Nolan and Graham for hours.” I smile sweetly at them and sashay over to Nolan and pass Luna from him to Troy. “The girls will be here soon, what time are you heading out?”
Collins comes up behind me and kisses my head. “After dinner.” I nod and give him a kiss.
“Sounds good. I’m going to go relax in the living room and cuddle Luna.” Ross hands her to me and I grab her changing mat, a diaper, and her wipes from the diaper bag. I get her changed and recline on the couch to feed her. She seems okay now, earlier this morning she was fighting me during her feeds and was acting grumpy. She falls asleep after she’s done, and I settle her down into her bassinet next to the couch. Graham brings me a tray filled with our dinner and we slowly eat while talking. Graham and Mark went to check out the old
Strom house and it’s coming along nicely. They are updating the kitchen, bathrooms, painting the walls, and putting hardwood flooring throughout the downstairs and new carpet upstairs. Brant told them that it’ll be done within the next two weeks.
“Did the offer get accepted on the lot for the magic shop?” Graham excitedly asks.
I wink at him. “Sure did! I sent over the drawings I made over to Brant and he just needs to make the plans and get everything approved.” He smiles widely at me and continues eating. He’s so damn cute. “Is that what you would like to do after you graduate?”
He nods. “Yeah, I’ve always enjoyed it, but until Mark brought it up to me, I didn’t see myself actually being able to accomplish it. You guys are amazing.” I smile at him and all the guys get up to go upstairs to get ready for the club. After I use my magic to move all of the dishes to the sink to be cleaned, I watch TV until the girls arrive.
All of my sexy men are in the foyer talking amongst each other getting ready to leave. They’re all in black shoes and black slacks, and long sleeved, button-down shirts that are rolled up to their elbows. Collins has his auburn hair styled and is wearing a navy-blue shirt that matches his eyes. Mark’s dark brown hair is still wet from his shower and is slightly curling above his ears, wearing a royal purple shirt that makes his emerald green eyes pop. Ross has his brown hair slicked back, and is wearing his typical black shirt, whereas Troy has his messy, brown hair grown out and is falling into his eyes, wearing a hot pink shirt, of course. Nolan and Graham look like they could be twins, both of them have bright red hair that is mussed up from running their fingers through it after their showers, and both wearing dark gray shirts. I wish I could go with them, I’m about to orgasm just standing here staring at them like an idiot.
Nolan smirks at me. “See something you like, baby?”
I pout at him. “Too much.” I finish walking over and give them all a quick kiss. “Be safe, see you later!” I wave them off and hear my phone ringing in the living room. I walk over to it and answer Penny’s call.
“Hey, are you on your way?”
I hear her sniffling. “No. Danika broke up with me. She said she can’t handle being with someone who won’t let them into their life. She found out I lied about where I go to school, and I obviously can’t tell her about what we are.”
I hum. “Why not? I can just put a geas on her to make sure she can’t talk about any of us.”
“You would do that for me? What if she doesn’t believe me or want to be with me when she finds out I’m different?”
“Babe. You are fucking gorgeous, if she can’t handle our lifestyle then she wasn’t the one for you.” She’s silent for a few moments and clears her throat.
“You’re right. Maybe I can still get her to meet me at your house so I can talk to her there and you can either make her forget what I told her or place a geas on her. I really love her, Maya.”
“I know babe. Let me know if you’re coming over. I’ll be up for a while.” She thanks me and hangs up. Damn humans. If they would stop fucking up and trying to kill us, we would live in better fucking harmony. I’m bored and decide to work out before I go searching for Danika and stab her. She’s too hot to stab. I walk over to my sleeping Luna and pick her up and take her with me to the gym. I settle her in the bassinet that I have in the middle of the room and change into some gear that I put into the changing room.
I work out for about an hour until I’m lying on the floor panting. Fuck. I am out of shape. I ran a few miles, worked out with the weights, punched the bag, and did some martial arts until I dropped. I’m glad that none of us rely on just our magic, you never know when someone will get too close or come up behind you.
Luna starts to stir in her bassinet, and I walk her back into the house and I get settled into the master. “Hello sweet baby, you hungry again?” She just stares at me like she always does and tries to eat her hands. I chuckle at her, change her diaper and into a new sleeper and
feed her until she pops off both boobs. “Alright, I guess you’re awake for a bit now, huh?” I levitate her swing into the bathroom and strap her in so I can shower and change into some pajamas. While I’m rinsing my hair, I hear my phone going off from where I threw it on the bed. I dry off and check to make sure it’s none of the guys and see that Penny called.
“Hey sorry, I was in the shower.”
“No, it’s fine. Um, it took some convincing, but she wants to meet me at your house to know what’s going on.”
“That’s fine, Luna and I are still up.”
“Okay. See you soon.” I hang up and frown, she sounds so dejected and sad. Fuck I hope Danika doesn’t break her heart.
I bring Luna downstairs and I place some blankets on the ground to give her some tummy time and I turn on a vampire show. Mmm. I could use me one of those. Orgasmic bites? Yes please. I finish an episode before Gerard leads Penny and Danika into the room and I take a close look at both of them. Penny has red-rimmed eyes and has swollen lips from crying, and Danika just looks annoyed and pissed with her arms crossed over her chest and her shoulders are basically up to her ears.
“Sit down, ladies. I’ll do the talking.” They nod and take a seat across from me on the couch. Penny goes to pick up Luna and I shake my head. “No, no one will fight or be frustrated while holding my daughter. Sit down.” She looks to the ground and sits next to Danika.
“I’m going to allow Danika to speak first, then Penny will explain herself, then I will explain anything that doesn’t make sense. No talking over each other, no raised voices, and no storming out of this house until everything is settled. You don’t need to stay together, but you will not be making each other miserable. Understood?”
Danika nods and I wave my hand at her for her to talk. “We’ve been together for a year. I’ve asked her repeatedly if I could come to her school, see her family more, or even know why she has a locked area in her trunk that I can’t get into. I thought she’s been cheating on me, or up to some shady shit or something. She won’t fucking explain anything to me, so I think the worst.” She stops to take some deep breaths to calm down. “I just can’t be with someone who can’t be honest and up front. I have lived that life with my political parents and all of the fake bitches in my hometown in the states. I can’t do it with someone I love.” I nod and look at Penny.
