“Do you need me to get anything?” Ariana asked as she stopped next to the table.
I glanced up from my laptop and smiled at her. “Some more cereal. I’ll get everything else when I finish at the studio tomorrow.”
“Do you want the same flavour or a different flavour?”
Reaching out, I gripped her arm and pulled her onto my lap. She instantly wrapped her arms around my neck but her brows dipped down into a frown.
“Any flavour will do,” I told her. “What’s wrong, doll?”
Ariana hesitated. “You know that you and Eva are true mates too, right?”
“I’m know, doll.” My eyes darted over her face, taking in the faint flush on her cheeks and the concern darkening her eyes. “Eva wants to take things slow. We agreed that she will be the one to make the first moves if she wants to take things further than kissing.”
“We talked last night,” Ariana muttered. “She feels like you’re not interested in her after what she told you. She feels like you don’t want a bond to form with her, because you have me. Eva’s usually very clear on what she wants. I can’t figure out why she hasn’t made the first move if that is what she wants.”
I slipped a loose strand of hair behind her ear and gave her a small smile. “I’ll sort it out. Okay?”
She nodded. Leaning forward, Ariana pressed her cheek to mine for a few seconds before she pulled away and turned her head to look at the computer screen.
“What are you doing?” she asked. “You’ve been busy since three this morning.”
“Erik sent me a link of some missing kid reports,” I explained. “I’m going through them to see if I was reported missing when I got kidnapped.”
“No luck?”
“Not yet.” I forced a smile onto my lips to hide the disappointment I felt. “Based on my birthmark we know that I’m a pureblood which means that I was born Vampire and that my family comes from a long line of. . .ancients as Erik calls them.”
Ariana frowned again. “It means that you’re older than us even though you look like you’re the same age as us.”
I chuckled. “Well, because of the injections Avery gave me I’m technically only a few years older than you, but I’ll age slower now that I’ve started my. . .fluid diet.”
She rolled her eyes, and after pressing a kiss to my cheek, she slipped from my lap and picked up her purse. “I’ll be back around three or so. Don’t worry about cooking, okay? I’ll bring something back for the two of you from the restaurant Ethan and I’ll be eating at.”
I stood and followed her to the door. “Do you need a ride?”
“No, Ethan’s already waiting downstairs for me.”
She opened the door, but before she could step out, I grabbed her arm and pulled her against me to capture her lips in slow kiss. By the time I pulled away Ariana was breathless, face flushed and eyes dark with desire.
I smirked. “Enjoy your day, doll.”
She nodded, lingered for a few seconds more and then slipped out of the door. I stood there watching until she disappeared down the stairs before I turned and entered the apartment. Kicking the door close behind me, I walked back to the table and stared down at the laptop for a few seconds.
I wanted to find my parents badly because I wanted to know where I came from and how I ended up in Avery’s hands. We had already known that I had been kidnapped when I was a newborn baby, but we didn’t know all the small details and those details were the ones that were most important. If we knew how she managed it, we would be able to prevent something like it happening again in the future.
Forcing all the troubling thoughts from my mind, I closed the laptop and headed downstairs to Eva’s bedroom.
I knew that she’d still be in bed. One thing I learned from sharing the apartment with my mates, was the fact that Eva loved her sleep almost as much as she loved her lemon and honey tea. There was no way she’d get out of bed before nine unless it was something important or an emergency
Stopping in the doorway, I frowned at the empty bed. A glance at the watch around my wrist informed me that it was way too early for her to be up and about. I tilted my head to the side and listened carefully. The sound of running water gave her location away.
Spinning on my heels, I made my way down the hall and towards the bathroom. The door was slightly ajar. It wasn’t like we had a problem with privacy. We only closed the doors if we had guests over. I rapped my knuckles on the door and then pushed it open.
Eva stood in front of the floor length mirror she had insisted we buy. Her head snapped up when I had pushed the door open.
Crossing my arms, I leaned my shoulder against the door and raised a questioning eyebrow at her.
“She told you, didn’t she?” she asked.
“You knew that she was going to tell me. Why did you tell her then?”
“I thought that I had more time before she ratted me out.” Eva moved from foot to foot.
“When are you planning on making the first move, firecracker?” I asked her when she fell silent.
She cleared her throat and ran a hand through her hair. For a few seconds her eyes darted around the bathroom, avoiding me. But then she looked at me and gave me a small smile.
“Tonight, but now would do,” she said.
A shiver raced down my spine. “Where do you want me?” I asked.
Eva hesitated a moment. Glancing over her shoulder, she gripped the hem of her cami-top and slowly tugged it upwards, exposing her tanned skin, inch for inch.
“Naked and in the shower with me,” she breathed.
Smirking, I stepped into the bathroom and walked past her. She turned to watch me as I pulled the shirt over my head and dropped it to the floor. My pants dropped to the floor next. Without looking at her, I pushed the shower door open and stepped under the warm water.
A few seconds later Eva stepped in behind me and closed the door. I tensed when she pressed her body to my back and wrapped her arms around my waist. My hands twitched at my sides but I sucked in a deep breath, making her scent fill my nostrils.
Pressing her palms to my stomach, she slowly slid them lower, fingers dipping into the ridges as her hand moved. My cock twitched and slowly filled with blood. I gasped when Eva wrapped her hand around my length and squeezed.
“Impressive,” Eva muttered. “No wonder my sister has trouble staying silent.”
I blushed. There was no way I was going to admit that the things I did to Ariana were things I learned from the internet. I wanted to impress Eva once she finally decided to take things further.

***EVA***
I stroked his dick slowly but with my grip firm. It was a bit surprising to find him so well endowed—not that I was complaining. Grayson had been too big but Lucas was just the right size.
My lips curled into a smile as I listened to the way his breathing sped up.
He took a step forward and pressed his palms to the tiled wall. “Is this your plan?” he asked. “To torture me?”
Turning my head, I pressed a kiss to his skin. Instead of answering him, I gripped his hips and trailed my fingertips along his skin as I slipped underneath his arms to stand in front of him. Lucas’s eyes fluttered open.
“I like being the one in control,” I told him.
His lips twitched. “I’ve noticed, but we might have a small problem then.”
My eyes dropped to his dick and then up to his. I raised an eyebrow. “Small? Are you sure?”
His eyes darted over my face and then locked with mine. For a moment he just stared at me, but then he moved. Reaching down, he slipped his hand into my wet hair and gave it a sharp tug. My lips parted but the gasp was swollen by him when his lips smashed down on mine.
He stole my breath and made me forget about everything I had planned for us. My knees weakened and my stomach clenched as heat washed through me. Lucas took another step forward, forcing me to take one back. A second later my back was pressed to the wall.
He broke the kiss to trail his lips along my jaw and down my neck. “I don’t like giving up control, my little firecracker.”
I swallowed. “Why?”
“Because”—Lucas raised his head and stared down at me—”I had no control when my mother was still alive and now that I’ve gotten a taste of what it’s like being free an in control, there’s no way that I’ll be giving it up again.”
“It won’t be forever,” I whispered as I wrapped my fingers around his length again. “Just in the bedroom.”
He hummed. Lucas’s hand slipped down the side of my neck and lower to rest above my left breast over my beating heart. My breathing sped up as I waited for his next move. He smiled at me and leaned down to kiss me again.
I tried to take control of the kiss but it wasn’t as easy I thought it would be. Moaning, I arched my back as he cupped my breasts and flicked his thumb over my puckered nipples.
“As long as you having control don’t involve you fucking me in the ass, I guess we can give it a go,” he muttered against my lips.
His words made my mind flood with images. I wasn’t sure what to make of it but I wasn’t against trying it either. Fucking Lucas with a dildo. . .that image was going to stay in my mind for a while. Who knew, maybe I’ll manage to talk him into it.
Words were forgotten as Lucas allowed me to take control. I showed him exactly what I wanted by guiding him into position, but by the time I had crashed over the edge from my third orgasm, he had enough.
Pulling his fingers from my clenching pussy, Lucas licked them clean as he straightened and reached out to close the tabs. Frowning, I watched as he pushed the door open but I smiled when he reached for me. He smashed his lips against mine as he picked me up and stepped out of the shower.
“Where are we going?”
“To the bedroom,” he hissed.
“But I wasn’t done yet.” I pouted at him. “We were just getting started.”
Lucas flashed his fangs at me. “I’m all for trying new things with you, but if I’m not buried balls deep inside this tight little pussy in two minutes, I might just do something we’ll both regret.”
I barely had time to think of a response because we had reached his bedroom. My nails dug into his skin as he dropped me onto the bed and settled on his knees between my legs. Gripping my thighs, he pushed my legs wider apart. His eyes darkened when they locked on my shave pussy. Licking his lips, Lucas’s slipped his hands down my thighs and to my hips where he gripped me firmly.
“Who do you belong to?” he asked, eyes snapping up to mine.
I licked my lips. “No one.”
He tilted my hips up a few more inches and repeated the question to which I said the same thing. Anger flashed through his eyes but it only lasted a few seconds before it disappeared just as quickly.
“Who do you belong to?”
My lips parted. He entered me in one thrust, making me cry out. He instantly stilled for a few seconds, allowing me to get used to the tight fit before he started moving. His head dropped and his lips locked around a nipple. The sharp tugs of his mouth as he sucked on my nipples and the slow thrusts of his cock in my pussy felt like heaven, but I wanted more.
“Faster,” I ordered.
His tongue swirled over the tip and then around. Lucas’s eyes darted up to my face as he braced one hand next to my head while the other tightened on my hips. He shifted his knees apart a few more inches and then he started moving.
My eyes fluttered closed and my fingers dug deeper into his skin. I slipped my legs around his hips and dug my feet into his ass to urge him on. Moans slipped free from my parted lips, filling the room along with the sound of skin slapping skin and our harsh pants.
The orgasm was drawing nearer and nearer.
But it was the most unexpected thing that made me crash over the edge.
Lucas’s fangs sunk into the skin around my nipple, making pain shoot through my body. His thrusts became sloppy as he started swallowing my blood. And then I felt the first burst of his warm cum as he reached his orgasm.
Letting out a loud cry, I followed him right over the edge.

“You’re not so rough with, Ari,” I whispered minutes later.
He raised his head from my chest to blink down at me. “No.”
“Can I ask you why?”
Licking his lips, he frowned down at me for a few seconds before he answered my question. “Ariana doesn’t like it. . .rough. She likes slow and sweet,” Lucas explained.
“You don’t like that?” I questioned.
“I do.” He gave me a smile. “I love the fact that the two of you have different tastes. It’s what makes this work perfectly.”
“Good.”
Chuckling, Lucas pressed his face to the crook of my neck and blew out a breath. His arm around my waist tightened a faction more.
“Have you found anything about your parents yet?” I asked him as I slipped my fingers into his wet hair. Lucas shook his head. “I’ll help you if you want me too.”
“I’ll take all the help I can get.”
The apartment door suddenly slammed shut, making both of us tense. Lucas was up on his feet and out of the room in seconds. I followed him at a slower pace but caught up to him just as Ariana reached him.
“What happened?” Lucas asked her when she through herself at him as a sob fell from her lips. “Did someone hurt you?”
Ariana shook her head.
“Did you have a panic attack?” I questioned, moving closer.
Again she shook her head.
Frowning, Lucas pulled away and cupped her cheeks. “Tell me what happened, doll.”
“E-Ethan’s l-leaving,” Ariana cried.
“Leaving?” I wrapped an arm around her back. “He’s probably going on one of his camping trips. You know he likes going up to the cabin,” I said.
Ariana shook her head and wiped a tear from her cheek with a shaky hand. “It doesn’t sound like he’s c-coming back, Eva. Ethan’s leaving for good.”
