“You’ve been gone so long, my Prince!” whines the one in front of him with long, blonde ringlets. She kisses both his cheeks.
“I’m quite sorry, Charity. As you know, I have two brides now.” He inclines his head to me before facing her again, dipping his head toward her to reassure her, “But I will do better to make time for all my honey girls now that we’ll be filming for the next two weeks.”
Around them, the film crew shakes their heads and kneads their brows. The producer, a tall, lithe vampire with a dark chocolate braided crown, tips her head back with a groan. “My Lord Prince, how many times have I told you…call first! Look what you’ve done to my set!” The producer jabs a finger at the damaged clouds and the glitter shimmering like stardust all over the floor. I can’t resist biting my lower lip around a soft giggle.
“My deepest apologies, Sarai. As I was the cause, let us see if I may repair it.” Neo strays to the set with the four girls still coupled to him like spangled ticks while the rest cluster around him, begging for a turn. Even the girls from the Deep North, the Rosa Nix Court, seem to have settled in nicely. One even holds tight to Neo’s back.
A spark of flames erupts between my thighs while the flush in my cheeks turns to a burn. It ebbs once someone taps on my shoulder, startling me.
“You’re the Angel Bride, aren’t you?”
I spin to the harem girl, instantly recognizing her. No, I may not have binge-watched episodes, unlike Mom, but Piper the Viper is an impossible harem girl to forget. A name she earned when she up and bit Hadley’s finger off after Hadley had the nerve to steal the necklace that belonged to Piper’s mother. Though all I saw was the clip, I had mad respect for her since it was the only possession she had from home after Court Mordere killed her whole family. She was also a harem girl Neo had brought to his room the night after he’d whipped Nita, the night I caused his limp dick.
“I need these to take pictures,” I alert her, fidgeting too much, swallowing even more. But I gesture to the camera. “I need my fingers for them.”
Piper laughs, tossing back her cinnamon brown waves and stalking toward me. The teardrop crystals dripping from the center of her bustier draw attention to her navel. “Don’t worry, Princess. As succulent as your fingers look, I’ll resist eating those particular delicacies. But it was the best moment of the whole damn show. Keeps all the other girls out of my hair. But you didn’t answer my question.” She hisses with a little lurch.
I smirk to one side and oblige her by stepping back against the pillar. “How do you know I’m not the other one?”
Piper slides her hands down her golden-brown skin, stationing one on her hips to deadpan, “Cause you’re not a slutty bitch.”
Oh, Saints, I like her!
Still, I feign innocence. “Um…?”
“You never show up in any of the celebrity news, but she’s always there, flaunting all her “woe is me, I’m a victim” scars.” Piper shrugs and gestures toward me, explaining, “Not to mention she comes down here to slum it with all us bitches. Like we need her charity or something.”
“I’m only here because—”
“Neo set you up, I know. Why do you think I’m here?” A sharp intake of breath flees my lungs. My thoughts scramble. Piper opens both her palms, then starts to fiddle with her crystal bustier, dipping her hand into the cup to adjust it. “Ugh…stupid, fucking bra. At least we get to keep it after filming. He’s sweet like that…even with all his pranks.”
Knowing the joke is lost on me, I lift one brow and swallow the jealous knot in my throat, questioning, “What pranks?”
“They film the episodes at a rapid breakneck speed. Something to do with Father’s demand. It gets damn exhausting. So, between supplementing us with his venom, Neo pulls pranks. Totally harmless ones,” she assures me, flicking her gaze to me, “but it helps break up all the tension and brings us girls together. We got him once at the end of filming. Doused him in tomato juice, it was fucking epic! This time, we’re planning on stuffing his private screen room with a bunch of bearded dragons. But shh…” She winks at me.
Slowly leaning my head back until I’m far enough beyond the pillar to spy him, I discover filming has begun. On an erected platform draped in soft caresses of fog, Neo lies flat on his back while multiple harem girls dress his naked chest in golden feathers before showering him with kisses and love bites. He clutches a rose stem between his teeth, turns his head as if sensing my gaze, and flexes his muscles with a wink. I blush again and snap my head back up until I’m behind the pillar.
“Okay, you’ve got five minutes till I’m up. Make it count, Princess,” Piper acknowledges, crosses her arms over her chest, and taps her glass-slippered foot on the floor.
“Um…?” I choke, not quite understanding, and raise my camera instead to get a snapshot of her.
“Questions, Princess, questions.” Piper puts her hand on the top of my camera, rolling her eyes and smiling. “Neo said you’d have some questions. I’ll give you theGospeltruth, Angel Bride,” quips Piper, tapping her foot again.
At first, I swallow a lump in my throat, my mouth turning dry when she adjusts her bustier again. Oh, screw it, I’ll just roll with it. Shaking off my apprehension like glitter, I permit my eyes to roam across her, appreciating her curves and even the way she dips a finger back into her thong to lift it out of her crack, careless. Finally, I center my eyes on her smoky gray ones and ask, “Who’s the youngest girl here?”
“Charity. Fifteen, and no, Neo hasn’t slept with her.”
“Who has he slept with?” I shiver a little.
“During shooting? Any of us who are eighteen or older get some sensual touching. No full-blown sex, except for acting performance. Off shooting? Just what you saw here today with the girls gone wild for him. No sex.”
“Wait, what?” I recall the limp dick night, threading my brows low in suspicion.
Piper nudges her hip toward me. “He’ll get all blood drunk, Princess. But off shooting, he doesn’t sleep with us. Other than what you saw here, he doesn’t touch us…even if we want him to. And most of usreallywant him to. That one night where you walked in on us…another setup.”
I lick my lips. “So, I gave him limp dick for nothing?”
“Oh,noooooway, Princess. You set him straight in more ways than one. He was really low that night, but after you pulled your stunt, he ordered us a whole banquet with venom-spiced wine and told us to get some sleep. We never get to sleep in his bed, so that was pretty spectacular.” Piper glances around the pillar to check the time. “Two minutes.”
