Richard ruffles Antoine’s hair and nods. “Let’s see if Susana and Mrs. Fable are up.”
“Hurry,” I request, feeling restless. “Sammy is still crying.”
Richard and Antoine sped out of the bedroom, leaving a gush of wind behind.
Simon kisses my forehead. “They’ll take care of him. You know how much everybody loves little Sam.” Leaving kisses down my face and neck, he opens his lips around my nipple and sucks. “Relax.” His hand moves between my thighs, and his fingers rub my tense nub. “Let me show you how much I love you.”
“How much do you love me?” I ask, tilting back my head and enjoying the teasing and the sucking.
“I love you so much that I’d die if something happened to you.”
“Nothing is happening to me,” I assure him.
“It won’t because we’ll kill whoever tries.” He bends his knees and holds me around my waist. “Turn around.”
I obey, gasping with his lips on my back, nibbling softly. Pushing my long hair aside, he keeps kissing and nibbling before adjusting his pelvis against my ass and impaling me from behind. He’s big and hard. I rejoice with his cock and the flexing of his muscles against me. His arms are robust and his abs hard as rocks. Simon is beautiful, and each time we make love is something out of this world.
His thrusts are deep and slow, igniting every part of me that hasn’t been loved yet. His hands secure my boobs, stopping them from hurting because they are so full with the milk I keep producing to feed our child. The pregnancy was hard, but it was worth it. Sammy is the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen. We love and treasure him with all our hearts.
Simon keeps thrusting into me when the door opens.
“Mistress,” Susana whispers.
Simon groans. “Come back later, witch. We’re busy.”
I giggle without daring to look back because I’m feeling too good, and I’m not in the mood to deal with these two’s jealousy attacks.
“It’s time for her to get dressed,” Susana explains.
“We’re busy,” Simon reminds her.
“I’ll wait,” she says.
Simon moves his mouth to my ear. “I think she wants to join us, mistress. She’s been coming here a lot in the morning.”
I giggle. “Maybe I told her to come to see if you change your mind.”
“I don’t want to eat another pussy. I love you. Only you.” He moves faster, and I shriek. His fingers twist my nipples. “You can always call Richard. He doesn’t seem to mind. Though, when I finish with you, you won’t want an encore with anyone else.”
“At least not for now,” I tease him.
It takes us a few more minutes to reach the peak and fall on the bed, completely satisfied. After a few more kisses, Simon gets up and walks to the bathroom, utterly unfazed by Susana’s presence and eyes on him. He even snickers at her before closing the door to have a shower.
Susana gets up from the chair and sits beside me, rubbing the back of my neck. “Are you okay, mistress?”
“I’m great.” I sigh with contentment. “You shouldn’t have come. You know Simon doesn’t like it when you interrupt our private time together.”
She shrugs and keeps massaging my shoulders.
“Do you like to watch us?”
“He’s hot, but I just like to interrupt because he doesn’t like to share you with me. He seems to accept the other two just fine, but not me.”
“He still doesn’t trust you.”
“You trust me.”
I nod. “Still, it’s been almost a year. Maybe you can use tomorrow’s party to look for a lover. There’ll be a lot of bachelors attending. If you don’t want a vampire lover, perhaps you can choose among the ones of your kind or a shifter. They say that shifters are great lovers and very loyal and protective.”
“You and Richard keep me incredibly happy, mistress. I don’t think I want anyone else in my life.”
“Just keep your options open, okay?” I ask her, turning back and grabbing her hands. “Do you love Richard?”
Her cheeks turn red. “I wouldn’t dare. I know he’s yours.”
“I wouldn’t blame you if you did. It’s my fault. I asked him to join us. But you know he’s loyal to me, and you’ll get your heart broken if you keep your hopes up for him.”
Nibbling on her lip, she nods. “I know.”
I muse for a bit, caressing her soft hair and looking at her gorgeous face. Pecking her lips, I ask, “You’ve been going to town with Sally. Have you found someone there that you like? Do you want to invite him to our party?”
She shakes her head and places her arms around my neck, kissing me deeply. “You’ve been neglecting me, though.”
I smirk against her lips and hold on to her hips. Our tongues play for a bit before I cup her breast and squeeze it a few times. “I have to get dressed and check on the baby.”
“I know,” she moans. “I just came to tell you that the bakery called, and they are delivering a bit later in the evening.”
“Oh!” Our mouths press together before I ask, “Do you think they will miss the delivery completely? Should we be worried?”
“They’ve never let us down. We are their best customers. But they had a problem with one of the ovens.”
“Okay, let’s hope it’s nothing serious, and we’ll have everything we need for our Halloween party tomorrow.”
“If you’re worried, I can go to town and buy all we need to bake more cakes. We finished carving the pumpkins yesterday. Mrs. Fable and her sisters also finished with the decoration of the salons. All the beverages have arrived, and the catering company has confirmed that they received the costumes we ordered for them.”
“Maybe we should call Sally so she can go to the bakery and see what’s going on.”
Susana nods. Her hand caresses my arm. “I know you’ve been busy, but maybe you can join me in my bedroom the day after the party.”
I cup her chin and kiss her pouting lips. “Maybe Richard and I can visit your bedroom tonight.”
She beams. “I’d like that.”
“It’s a date then.” I kiss her again. “Now, take care of everything while I shower and get dressed.”
“Don’t you want my help?”
“You’d be a distraction.”
She glances back. The water keeps falling inside the bathroom. “Simon is a bigger distraction than me.”
“You were never jealous before.”
“He’s gorgeous. I have to give him credit. But he’s also your favorite.”
“I don’t have a favorite.”
Her body drops on top of mine, and we fall in bed. Her voice caresses my lips. “Maybe Victoria doesn’t have a favorite, but Emily does.” Her hand reaches my crotch, and her fingers move along my slit. I gasp, my body tensing. “You don’t moan as loud as you moan with him when I’m the one fucking you.”
Chuckling, I turn her around and place her under my naked body. “You don’t moan with me as loud as you do when it’s Richard fucking you.”
“You were the one who told him to seduce me,” she accuses.
“Why? Do you want Antoine and Simon to fuck you too?”
She shakes her head. “I just want you to love me as much as you love them. I’ve been faithful to you, mistress.”
“I know, Susana.” I let my boobs press against hers. “You’re a beautiful woman. Any man would be lucky to have you, but you know that my knights are special to me. You have my permission to build your own harem of men completely devoted to you. Once you find them, you’ll be happier in our family.”
“If doing that pleases you, I’ll do it, mistress.”
I brush my lips against hers. “Seeing you happy would make me happy.” Kissing her one more time, I add, “Richard and I will still visit you tonight. Be ready.”
Two
It’s been a year, and I still can’t believe that this mansion belongs to me as I walk around the house and check on the decorations. Last year, there were no fake spiders, skelet
ons, mummies, and spider webs decorating the house. There were no pumpkins on the garden or black balloons. Richard relied on the gothic decoration to impress his guests. This year, I wanted to do something different and fun. There was no reason why our guests couldn’t enjoy themselves and feel a bit spooked.
The baby slept, and Susana had gone to town to make sure our Halloween themed cupcakes were done in time to be served tomorrow night. Meanwhile, Antoine reads a book next to the baby’s crib, and my other two men are in the gymnasium, practicing fencing against one another.
I can’t deny that I enjoy watching them fight with swords. They’ve been doing it a lot more often for the past months since Simon became a vampire. He has to practice his enhanced senses and control the bloodlust.
The groaning sound of Richard and Simon fighting reaches my ears as I head down the courtyard to the other part of the mansion where they built a training area and keep the weaponry.
Since I turned and became their Vampire Queen, our estate has more servants and bodyguards. The empty annexes were refurbished and turned into bedrooms and lounging areas for our staff to chill and rest between shifts.
Two bodyguards in black suits, making the rounds, pass by me. “Your Majesty.”
I lower my head to greet them but pay them no more attention. With so many hot men around the property, one would think that Susana would keep herself busy. Still, she seems attached to me. As much as I enjoy her company and her powers are useful to our family, I want her to find her lovers so she can be happy and loved like I am.
Entering the training room, I watch Richard swing his sword over Simon’s head as he ducks and rolls on the ground to escape a second hit.
Sometimes, I worry that their practice becomes real, and one of them gets hurt. There have been cuts and bruises that healed, but a severed head is unattachable to an immortal.
“Richard, please don’t kill him. I still love him,” I jest.
“Funny,” Simon grumbles. “I’m perfectly able to beat Richard.”
“Keep dreaming, boy.” Richard paces forward, swinging left and right with his other hand behind his back. He’s graceful and skilled, which is a complete turn on as I watch them fight.
“Now, you’re just showing off,” Simon complains as he parries Richard’s strikes.
Two other men enter the practicing room wearing thigh pants and t-shirts. The bodyguards often join to practice with Richard since he likes to evaluate their training and keep them on their toes.
Once Simon falls on his butt and Richard’s blade points at his throat, he adds, “You need to practice more if you want to look good in front of your queen.”
Simon pushes the blade aside and gets up, dusting his clothes.
Richard grabs his arm before he can leave. “Go to the tatami and practice fighting with Albert and Jameson. Disarming and immobilizing an opponent is very important when fighting for your life.”
“What are you going to do?” Simon asks.
“I’m going to talk with our queen.” Signaling to his men, he tells them to join Simon on the tatami on the other side of the room and walks to me.
Richard sits down on the bench beside me and grabs a bottle from a cooler next to us. “What brings you here?”
“I wanted to watch you sweat,” I answer, resting my hands on the bench behind my back. “Why did you stop?”
“I wanted to spend some time with you.”
I grin. Raising a hand, I pat down his arm. “You’re sweaty.”
“You like it, don’t you?”
I pucker my lips and watch him drink, the water dripping down his chin and neck. His Adam’s apple moves up and down while the liquid descends his throat.
Wiping his mouth against the sleeve of his shirt, he asks, “Do you need something from us?”
“I want to speak to you.”
He arches an eyebrow. “Is something wrong?”
I shake my head and grab my hands to his muscled arm. Softening my voice, I speak. “I know that I was the one who asked you to seduce Susana and sleep with both of us.”
“At the same time. I don’t fuck her when you’re not around.”
“I know that.”
His jaw clenches. “Did she tell you something? She’s been hovering around me when you’re not near. I think she’s confusing things between us. I don’t want misunderstandings and…”
I cover his lips with two fingers. “Hush, baby. Let me speak.”
He nods.
“Tomorrow, I want you to show her around and introduce her to some of the bachelors who might be a good match for her.”
“Do you want her to take other lovers?”
I nod. “It’s time. We’ve been grooming her, and she’s been postponing. Tomorrow is a good night because there’ll be a lot of bachelors who might be a good addition to our family.”
“What if she doesn’t like anyone?”
“We’ll keep doing soirees and inviting others here until she finds someone she likes.” Fluttering my eyelashes at him, I ask, “Will you help me? You know the new vampires better than I do.”
“She might choose a mage or a shifter.”
“Whatever she chooses, it’s fine by me. I want her to be happy like I’m happy with you.”
Richard muses for a bit while his hand caresses my fingers around his arm. “I have a few options in mind. Susana is a beautiful woman. I’m sure a lot of eyes will be on her tomorrow at the party. I’ll make sure to match her with the ones that better suit her needs.”
I beam, satisfied. Brushing my fingers up his arm and touching his cheek, I add, “Speaking of her needs. I need you to join us tonight in her bedroom.”
“Mistress, I don’t think that’s a good idea if we want her to find another lover or lovers.”
I move my lips to his ear. “I know that I can’t have enough of your cock, but Susana will move on when she finds someone who wants her as much as you and the others want me.” His face continues sober. I swirl my tongue around his earlobe. “Just one more time. She’s pretty, and I know you enjoy her body. Just one more time.” I move my lips to his cheek. “I know how insatiable you are when it’s your night. You can take two of us without any problem.”
“That’s not the point. The point is that I love you. Making love to you is rewarding on its own. I’m happy just to please you, mistress.”
I turn his face so I can look him in the eyes. “Why are you hesitant about having a fun night with Susana and me?”
Squinting his eyes, he asks, “Have you thought that I might develop feelings for her? Wouldn’t you be upset if that happened?” I keep watching as he elaborates. “She’s a beautiful woman. She’s also intelligent and wise. Susana is growing attached to me. What if I fall for her? Will you kill her, mistress?”
“I love you, Richard. You know that.”
He nods. “I love you too.”
“I also love Simon and Antoine. If you believe that there’s space inside your heart for Susana, I’m not sure if I can forbid you from feeling attached to her too.”
“There can’t be two queens in a family. A knight can’t love another more than he loves his queen.”
Nibbling on his lower lip, I pull and release. “Do you love me more than you loved Victoria?”
“You have her memories.”
“That’s not the point.”
He clenches his jaw, and his hands wrap around my wrists. “You’re my new queen. I’ll give my life for you.”
“Would you give your life for Susana?”
“Of course not.”
Beaming at his quick answer, I get up and straddle him. “Then I’m not worried. Let’s just enjoy this night with her and show her a great time before we let others have her.”
His hands cup my ass, and he pushes me closer. “Will you be looking for a new lover tomorrow?”
I smirk. “Jealous?”
His breath caresses my lips. “No. Just curious if you’re open to the idea.”
“I�
��m perfectly happy with our little family. Plus, we have our baby to think about. He’s too young to have someone else around the house.”
He nods. “With the Sovereign’s approval of our vampire family, other families will not claim our territory, but there are still the hunters and the king that supported Cole. We have no idea why they were so interested in Victoria’s memories.”
“Let’s not talk about that now. We have a huge party to host tomorrow, and Susana is worried that the cupcakes won’t arrive on time.”
“That would be unfortunate. Though vampires don’t really eat sweets.”
Lacing my arms behind his head, I remind him, “We’ll have the Fable Coven and other covens that are friend with Mrs. Fable coming. We’ll have the Simmons Pack joining us. Plus, all your vampire friends and Margaret’s new consort, Aston.”
“Aston is bringing his own entourage, and Mrs. Fable has been busy cleaning the west wing of the mansion since we’re hosting more visitors,” Richard remembers to tell me.
“So, more mouths to feed.”
He nods. “I ordered more synthetic blood. It should be arriving tonight.”
“When will our guests arrive?”
“Early in the dawn before the sunrise.” I try to get up. He stops me. “Where are you going? I’m enjoying you on top of me.”
“I’m going to check on Mrs. Fable and see if she needs any help.”
“Unless you know magic that can clean houses, she’s doing just fine without your help,” Richard teases.
“I should call Susana to order more cupcakes.”
“Vampires don’t eat cupcakes,” he reminds me, kissing my lips and moving his hips to show me how hard he was for me.
“Lies. I’m a vampire and eat cupcakes. I like sweet things.” I kiss him longer, deeper. “The bodyguards are just a few feet away, probably watching us.”
“I’m just kissing you, and Simon is busy beating them up, so they don’t look at you and me.”
I laugh. “Is he? I can’t see anything from this position.” I focus my hearing on the groans and shrieks behind my back, where Simon should be practicing with the other two guys. “Is he beating them too hard?”
“No. They’ll be fine. We don’t want to cripple the help.”
