Epilogue
Darren
The alarm next to the bed blared like a siren, alerting me to wake up. I groaned and rolled over, smacking the offending thing off before turning back over and wrapping my arm around the delectable creature lying in my bed.
Piper moaned and shifted farther into my embrace, her bottom wiggling against my morning hard-on.
A small smile teased at my lips. I placed my chin between her neck and ear and murmured, "If you keep doing that, you're going to be even later than you already are."
Piper grumbled something under her breath and shifted her hips against me again. I put my hand on her hip, sliding it down her leg before pulling it over my leg so she was spread out beside me. The tiny nightgown she wore slid up to her waist, revealing she had not replaced the underwear I'd torn off her last night.
I trailed my fingers up and down the inside of her thigh, teasing her but not giving her what she wanted, even though she tried to buck her hips to get it. "Piper, my darling, as much as I'd love to feed your addiction, you really must get up."
"No," Piper drawled, burying her face into her pillow once more. "Let someone else hunt tonight."
I nipped at her ear. "But Mizuki will be very disappointed to hear her favorite companion isn't coming with her on the nightly patrols."
She mumbled something into her pillow I couldn't hear.
"What was that?" I nudged her with my nose. "You want me to have Drake come wake you?"
Piper shot up in bed. "No!" Her eyes wide, she glared down at me. "Do not send that sadist in here. Last time he dumped a bucket of cold water on me. I had a cold for a week!"
I chuckled at her abhorrence, then watched her climb out of bed. Her nightgown slipped back down, covering up her delectable backside from my view. Ever since Piper had joined the vampire hunters in their nightly hunts, she'd been more reluctant to leave the house. Though, secretly, I think she loved it. She didn't seem as happy cleaning toilets as she did hunting down bad guys. Also, with her there to tell if they were actually the kind of vampires that preyed on the weak versus those who were simply trying to blend in with society, there was a lot less for the vampires to worry about. At least, the ones who knew about her.
President Vincent had strict orders for Piper to keep her identity a secret. The only vampires allowed to know who she worked for were ones she was going to kill or the Durands. So far it was going pretty well, but we were only a few months into it. Who knew what the future held for us?
"I don't know why he makes me go on these stupid patrols." Piper stepped out of the bathroom with her mouth full of toothpaste. "I'm supposed to be undercover not walking the streets with the common hunter. I mean, what's the point of it being a secret otherwise?" She ducked back into the bathroom where the faucet turned on as she rinsed.
"I believe the purpose is to keep your skills sharp. With the Durands not having any pressing social matters to attend to— their creator being dead and all—they have no use for your spying as of yet." I angled myself so I could see better into the bathroom. "Besides, the exercise is good for you. You shouldn't stay cooped up in this house every day."
Piper leaned back to peek out of the bathroom. "Are you trying to tell me something?" The way her brow arched in warning made me chuckle.
"Oh, no. I would never. You are perfect the way you are. However..." I slipped over to her side of the bed, letting my legs drop to the floor, the sheet covering my bare lower half. "I do think you enjoy it for all your complaining."
Piper smirked and sashayed across the room to stand in front of me. "You know what I do enjoy?" She slid one leg on either side of me, placing her hot core against my length. Leaning forward, she caught my ear between her teeth and tugged, grinding her hips against me. "You inside me."
I chuckled darkly, my own arousal flaring up. "Ah, ha, yes, I do enjoy that as well, but we have plenty of time to revisit that activity when you come back."
Piper pouted, blinking up at me from beneath her eyelashes. "But what if I don't come back? This could be the night where one of them gets me. Then you'll never have me again. Do you really want your last memory of me to be this?"
I cupped her ass in my hands and drew her tight against me, my length sliding against her warmth. "Guilt, Piper? Really? I thought you were above that."
Piper grinned mischievously. "Not when it comes to what I want."
"And what is that?" Antoine's voice came from the bedroom door, and the heat in it caused a delightful shiver down my spine. "Piper, aren't you supposed to be leaving?"
Piper tried to give Antoine the same puppy dog eyes, but our leader didn't quite break the same way the rest of us did with Piper. Either he was made of sterner stuff or he delighted in defying her.
"Stop trying to distract Darren and get your butt moving. You didn't go through all this trouble to mess up already, did you?" Antoine hummed, arching a brow at our position. "Or do you think a quick fuck is worth all our lives?"
Antoine was the master of guilt. Piper didn't have a leg to stand on and she knew it.
With a huff, she slid from my lap, making me grunt at the movement. "Oh, alright. You don't got to do me like that. I was going already."
Antoine hummed once more. "Of course you were." We both watched her with attentive eyes as she walked around the room. Every time she had to get something from the floor, she bent over in a way that showed her wet folds. I licked my lips, my eyes moving over to Antoine. The bulge in his pants was evidence that he wasn't so in control of himself that the sight did not affect him. Perhaps, when Piper left, we could help each other relieve ourselves of our burdens.
As if reading my thoughts, Antoine's eyes shifted over to mine. His gaze skimmed over my face with a dark heat that had my length hardening even further. Those pale orbs dropped to my lap and his lips parted. I could practically feel his gaze on me, stroking along my heated skin, his cock pumping inside me. I was near bursting already just from the thought.
