"I'm Kaspian, another gargoyle if you were wondering," he said, moving to Zori. He took her hand and kissed it. Vladik's vision hazed red. "Vladislav didn't tell me you were so pretty."
"He didn't tell me you were so pretty either," Zori replied with a grin. "What are you making?"
"Blini. There're some bags of stuff over there I thought you might need for your trip home."
"Thank you." Zori picked up the bags and looked at Vladik. "Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure, puppy," he replied.
Kaspian snorted, and Vladik shot him a glare. "No fucking, you two. I won't have food going cold."
Vladik glared at him before following Zori into the bedroom. Like he would fuck Zori with another male around them.
"How are you feeling?" Vladik asked her. Zori had sat on the bed, so he crouched down in front of her. "Talk to me."
"I'm confused about a lot that happened last night. I feel like I finally went crazy. I'm not crazy, am I?" Zori said, her eyes wide.
Vladik placed his warm hands over hers. "No, you're not crazy. You shifted, and you found me. That's all that matters. You're here and safe. I'm going to take you home."
Zori moved her hands so she could touch his face. "How did I find you?"
"I'm not sure. Instinct maybe? Irina will know. I don't care about the how. All I know is you did, and you're here with me where you belong," Vladik replied.
Zori moved her hands into his hair, and he almost groaned at the touch. She kissed him softly, and he melted. His arms went around her, pulling her closer as he kissed her back. She tasted like heaven and stars combined. His memories of the club didn't do the softness of her lips any justice.
Zori's tongue moved against his mouth, and he opened for her. He was letting her control the kiss, letting it be whatever she needed. His dick was already starting to get hard, and he couldn't stop it. She was like kissing starlight, like the magic that had been pouring off her the previous night.
A heavy thump on the wall had them jumping and breaking apart.
"What did I say?" Kaspian boomed.
Zori blushed and then laughed. "Sorry. I couldn't help it. I had to know you were real."
"If that big idiot wasn't here, I'd show you how real I am, puppy," Vladik said, making her blush deepen. Her stomach growled, and it killed his hard-on. His protective instincts took over. "You need to eat. I'll go and make sure he's cooking enough. We are going to have another long night, and you'll need the calories."
Vladik bent down and kissed her cheek before leaving her to change. Kaspian was at the stove, whistling a folk song from the Steppes.
"Thanks for that, asshole," Vladik grumbled.
"What? I told you not to get carried away," Kaspian replied and smiled at him. "You know she's way too good for you, right?"
"I know, but I'm still going to do everything I can to make her mine," Vladik growled.
Kaspian chuckled and poured more batter into the pan. "I thought you might say that."

Zori got dressed in comfortable black tights and a flannel shirt. She didn't know how Kaspian knew her dress size, but they were pretty accurate. He seemed to have known better than to try and pick out a bra size because she had received one-size-fits-all yoga bras. They were fine if she didn't have to run anywhere.
Zori braided her hair and checked her reflection in the mirror. She didn't look any different, but she felt it. Her skin was back to normal, and there was a well of energy inside of her that it hadn't been there before. It made her want to dance about, cry, and fuck.
You need to eat before any of those things,she told herself. Maybe food would stop her feeling so giddy and erratic. That was if Vladik stayed in his human form.
There was something about seeing him in his gargoyle form that made her want to lick him all over while purring. It was weird, but it was probably the least weird thing going on in her life at that moment.
Zori's stomach grumbled again, and she sighed. She couldn't hide forever. She had two gargoyles in the kitchen, cooking.
She'd thought Vladik was huge, but Kaspian was a giant. Her brain took one look at his bulk and long hair and thought 'barbarian.' And now, he was making her blini. She bit back a hysterical giggle at the turn her life had taken.
