“It did, but if a simple potion can sever a Fated Bond, who’s to say it won’t do the same for a Blood Bond?” I say, biting the pad of my thumb.
Church sits forward with his elbows braced on his knees. “Why was she there? What did she want?”
“She saved my life and then asked me not to look for her,” I scoff. “She lives in this town for some reason, but I will respect her wishes and not seek her out, especially since she mentioned that she left because my father didn’t want her to become head of the family.”
The more I thought about what Angelique said, the more it started to make sense. My father loved us all equally, but showed a preference towards me for some reason. He told me once that he would have preferred me to lead us after his demise; I am guessing that Angelique overheard that conversation.
“Bullshit,” Valentine grumbles, but the look in his eye tells me he knows what I’m talking about. He was in the room too, after all.
“Be that as it may, it doesn’t change the fact that I am no longer the oldest Pureblood living here. Angelique wants to live in obscurity, so I won’t mention this to the council; they’re trying to fuck up my life with more shitty conditions already.”
Katherine and I are heading to Germany tomorrow to face the council together. I’m well enough and figured that they’d want to get this over with sooner rather than later, fuck knows I do. It’s better to get this out of the way so I can finally move forward with Katherine.
Just as my thoughts go to her, she walks in with Xenia in tow. We’ve spoken and Xenia will be joining us at the estate in DC. If the Death’s Temple decides to come after both of them then they will at least have my protection.
Also, this way Church will no longer be running around like a love-sick puppy looking for Xenia, even if he tries to hide what he feels.
“Are we interrupting something?” Katherine asks when the three of us stop talking and I shake my head.
“Not at all. Did you get what you needed?” She nods and gives me a sheepish smile for some reason. I narrow my eyes at her odd behavior, then she walks to the bedroom and Xenia sits down next to Valentine.
“You guys wanna go out for a drink later?” they ask, looking at both Valentine and Church who look confused as hell. “Last night in a hick town, might as well make the best of it.”
“Not me. I’ll stay behind with Gabriel - and before you protest, there’s no way you’re going out when you’re not 100% yet,” Katherine says while sitting down on the arm of the sofa and leaning against me.
I smirk. “Yes, ma’am. You two can go if you want,”
“It’s better than staying here and vomiting my guts out watching the two of you,” Church says, crossing his arms. “We’ll go.”
Xenia smiles and tries to hide it by standing up, but I’ve already caught them out while Valentine rolls his eyes knowing he’ll probably be the third wheel.
I have to admit that I am truly not up to being around crowds of people, so I’m thankful to Katherine for saying what she did.
Katherine gets to her feet and stretches. “Well, I’m going to get cleaned up and head to bed; have fun and see you guys later,”
“I’ll join you–”
“And that’s our cue to go because no way am I going to listen to you two fucking,” Church says and walks towards the door. Valentine sighs and follows Church, pulling Xenia out with him and closing the door.
I’m not sure what the fuck just happened but I’m still staring at the empty living room when I hear the shower running. A grin spreads over my face when I realize what Xenia has done and I make a mental note to thank them when they get back.
It’s been three fucking days of torture with her laying with her body pressed up against me and knowing I can’t do a damn thing.
The softness of her body, her gorgeous ass against my cock, the way her hand brushes against my crotch in her sleep - all far worse than being shot with baobab bullets.
So I take advantage, strip naked and sneak into the shower. Steamed up entirely, the scent of caramel is heady and thick and heads straight to my cock.
“I wondered if you’d get the hint, King,” she says, standing with her back to me when I open the shower door. She turns around and stuns me once again with how beautiful she is; perfection in every fucking way.
I smirk and advance on her, slipping my arms around her waist and pulling her closer to me. “Oh, this was all planned?”
She places her arms around my neck. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she says with a grin. “But since you’ve been sleeping in my bed, I’ve been having the most vivid dreams. There’s a shower scene in particular that made me wake up with drenched panties.”
My cock twitches. “Is that so? Care to elaborate?”
“Hmm, well it starts with you sneaking in behind me like you just did,” she says, running her hands down my chest and moving my arm from around her waist. “You don’t say anything when I turn around; you just do this.”
She takes my hand and wraps it around her neck while getting on her knees and looking up at me. “But you don’t need to say anything, because I know what you want.”
