“I do not, I repeat do not need to know what you and your mate do in the privacy of your own room. Something’s are better left private, kay?” I release her and step backward, Jess comes to stand in front of me and I wrap my arms around her middle and savor this moment.
“Fuck off with that bullshit, if Callie has to do that, then so do you, now get away from my sister. You’re like a fucking blow fly that will never die.” Even I bust out laughing at Ro, riling him up is becoming my favorite thing to do. Once we get our laughter under control Jess faces off against her brother.
“Did you just call my mate, slash baby daddy ablow fly?” Ro looks to me and smirks as he answers.
“It was either blow fly or pedo?” I recoil and glare at the fucker, Jess gasps and places her hands on her hips. I can feel Sheba close to the surface and I preen like a proud peacock at the way my mate is ready to throw down for me.
“The fuck would you call me apedofor you fucking asshole?” A sly look crosses his face.
“You literally pretended to be a high school senior so you could bone my sister you fucker.” I can’t help it, laughter bubbles out of me and within a second Jess begins to laugh as well. Everyone eyes us like we have lost of minds.
“You two are weird as fuck.” I ignore my brother and clear my throat before asking.
“You guys wanna have a re-match? Bet ya Jess and I can take you all on.” A devilish glint enters both Ro and Sky’s eyes.
“Deal, Sky’s with me––.”
“Hey! She’s, my girlfriend!” Sky turns toward Callie and wraps her arms around her mate.
“Baby, I love you, but you are terrible at sports.” I cough to try and hide my laughter when my sisters mouth drops open in shock. “You go with Cole, and I promise I’ll make it up to you later.” Callie opens and closes her mouth like a fish out of water.
“Fuck no!” We all turn to Cole. “I’m down for Jess and Sky rubbing their ass cheeks all over me but like fuck is my twin doing that, I bow out, Z can take my place.” We all laugh again; I can’t blame my brother though. Because I am trying to change my ways, I reach out and grip his arm as he is about to hop out of the pool and speak.
“After Jess and I beat the shit out of these guys you can take Jess and beat their asses again.” Cole looks at me in shock and I can feel everyone else’s gaze on me as well.
“Uh, yeah sure bro, okay thanks.”
As shore comes into view it’s bittersweet, these past couple of days have been the best of my life. The anger and rivalry between me and my brother is gone, since leaving that island both Cole and I have agreed that the anger within us… vanished. Neither of us know what was the cause, and both of us refuse to believe Davina, that it was over power and wanting to rule the vampires. Callie and I reconnected, and it was interesting to get to know this new version of my sister, she isn’t a little girl anymore she is a woman. Callie let a big secret slip and I have to say it hasn’t stopped playing on my mind ever since she told me the first night on the boat. Jess and I even seem to be more at ease and getting along so well, Cairo and I have gotten back to how we used to be which I am thankful for. Sky is…Sky, so nothing much has changed there but Zeke–– I know he loves to push my buttons about Jess but after spending some time with him I must say, he is a good guy.
I wouldn’t trade the time I’ve spent with my friends and family these past couple of days for the world. My siblings and I have even noticed that mom has relaxed a lot and isn’t so worried that we are going to run off and jump on team Davina, Cole and Callie still can’t stand the sight of her. Me on the other hand, it’s not that I like her or anything, but I feel like there is more to her than meets the eye, whether or not I find out is yet to be determined.
“We’ll ride together, it will be tight but at least the monster and my sister won’t be unprotected.”
“Agreed Ro, but I just have to check and make sure my mom is sweet to get back.” Cairo nods and I head off to find mom, she stands to the side of the boat gazing out at the ocean. She doesn’t turn toward me as she speaks.
“As soon as we leave this boat the happiness, we have built over the past couple of days will be gone.” I share in her misery, if it was up to me, we would keep sailing around the world and never leave the damn boat.
“Mom, the carefree part may leave us but the memories of what happened here will remain. It won’t always be like this––“
“Don’t make promises you can’t keep son, when your father comes back everything will change–”
I growl and pull on her arm until she turns to face me, I ignore the look of sadness in her eyes as I meet her gaze. She needs to see the truth in my eyes as I speak these next words because I will not say them again.
“He will change nothing; you are our mother what more do we have to do to show you that? You want to adopt us? Fine, I can have the paperwork drawn up, but a piece of paper doesn’t change how we view you. We may not share DNA mom but we sure as fuck share love and loyalty and that is all you need in a family.” Tears stream down her face, I wrap my arms around her and hold her against me as she sobs. Her tears soak my shirt, and it hurts me to know that she has been carrying these doubts around with her since she learned that Davina is alive. Anger simmers inside me, not at my mom but at myself for not making sure that she was reassured and made to feel like she isn’t someone or something that can be replaced. I rest my chin on top of her head and just hold her. “I love you mom; nothing will ever change that.”
“I love you to son, more than you will ever know.” She pulls back and wipes her face, I look away to give her some semblance of privacy. Once she has herself composed, I fill her in on what is about to happen, she tells me that she is going with Connie and George so that eases my worries slightly, I know George would die protecting his mate and my mom.
We have been in the car for two hours and already I want to throttle my siblings, Cole, Sky and Callie sit in the back while Jess, Harlem and I sit in the middle. Z sits shotgun while Ro drives, I can tell from how stiff they are that they are about as ready as I am to smash the twins’ heads together.
“Your leg is touching mine!”
“Close your fucking legs then, it’s not like you have balls and need the space, Callie.”
“I have bigger nuts than you, just ask Sky.” Sky groans but doesn’t comment, they have been arguing over stupid shit like this the whole way.
“Mommy, Daddy?”
“Yeah monster?” We both answer in unison.
