Chapter 35
Ravenana pov
Jumping on Vlady’s back we follow James down the hall. Being that Hades's and I are still seventeen we really shouldn’t be here but when your family has ties a few exemptions can be made for a few visits.
Vlad and Tul got their chips last week for their eighteenth birthday. That night Vlad and I spent hours putting together his profile. Be both enjoy a wide variety of fun. Vlad and I have always been close so when I turned thirteen and had an influx of magic as I hit the second stage of growth for a demon. We don’t know if I will be like my dad or like my mom. See my dad is just over 200 years old. How you might ask. Demons age differently. From ages zero to thirteen we are like any other born being. We are babies we grow to adolescence. We become teenagers and stay a teenager essentially until we are 100. Then we are adults and able to find out mate.
Once we turn 100 we are frozen in time until our mate is born and of age. Long life does sound nice but waiting 100 years sounds horrible. I kinda hope I get a little bit of both. Vlad was my first everything. Drinking from the vein. Kiss fondling learning oral that was fun with fangs. Good thing he heals fast.
Tulok likes to stalk the dance floor for his fun or well that’s what he says. He got a pass to come here at eighteen unlike the rest of us. Yes, Vlad got his chip and set up the profile but it’s in pending until he’s twenty-one. Tul got early full admission because he’s leaving for the north and will be too far to be a liability at the club.
“here you two go. Just a question what do you plan to do when you find your mates?” “what do you mean?” “Well, I don’t think your mates will like that you two have such a history. And how are you both gonna feel when the other finds their mate?” laughing at him. “we are best friends first and that will be a road we will cross when it comes and we don’t need your input on the subject.” I hiss out. I can see the glare Vlad is giving James. I didn’t need to see Vlady's face to know he got all glowing green eyes and bared teeth. The fear on James's face was enough to know Vlad was done with his questions as well.
Bumping his shoulder into James. “I'd worry more about myself than the past time of the clients. I hear loose lips and nosey workers end up jobless on unhigherable list in this region and the far north.” I sing at him placing my chin on Vlady's shoulder. “Vlady I’m a little hungry.” I whisper in his ear. “you hear her bring her dinner or be dinner your choice.” He hollers over his shoulder.
Walking into the white room. An odd color for a dungeon-style room but for a shadow it’s perfect. It’s hard to cast a shadow on black in dark lighting and bright lighting is not sexy. Vlad and I played with colors and textures since I was thirteen. We love silk and velvet along with leather. Any cuffs we use in my are black so it’s harder to slip out. But that’s at home here there is a magic blocker ward. There is a kill switch on the ward should the need arise.
The floor is a cold hard white marble. The steel frame of the bed is anchored to the floor. We broke the bed last time.
At the bed, he drops me letting me voice a few times. Smiling at me as I lay flayed out on the bed.
“You look good enough to eat little bird”
“oh what big eyes you have my quiet fire”
“the better to see you with little bird.”
“What big hands you have my quiet fire.”
“All the better to feel you with little bird,” Vlad says stalking slowly over the bed.
Giggling “what big teeth you have my quiet fire.”
“All the better to eat you little bird.” His fangs slip out as he lunges for me. His lips are on mine before the rest of him hits the bed. The steel frame groans as he lands. Breaking the kiss when the door opens. Looking over at the door James escorts a dark-haired drunk male. Smiling wide as him. His smile is lopsided and goofy. “I think our friend has gotten into the brimstone,” James smirks. Brimstone-laced blood is like night blossom wine but instead of relaxing drunkenness brimstone is an aphrodisiac.
Rolling on his back Vlad folds his arms behind his back. “go eat little bird then come let me eat.” The door shuts and all our magic is back. Smiling brightly as I melt into a shadow on the floor. I didn’t need to stalk my prey but it’s fun and Vlad loves a good show.
Once I take his blood I will have the effects of brimstone. Vlad will the. Drink from me gaining the effects through my blood. We will feel lust and desire more. Touching will be sensitive and arousing. We found that if he drinks my blood right after the effects take hold it’s a shared experience. If don’t want a fight for dinner then they get slipped some brimstone. If I want a fight no brimstone. And tonight I don’t want to fight. I want to play and have fun. One of my best friends is leaving soon. I can not slip that far in one go. Ambrose and lord Zyaire are the only ones I know that can jump that far. Even grams is only about half that and she’s the shadow demon's queen.
The boy is lost in his own world looking around the room. His eyes land on Vlad. “woo hey now you’re an alright-looking dude and all but I’m so not into guys.” “too bad Vlady over there is a really good lay chicken.” I whisper in his ear as I become solid behind him. “what the fuck man where did you come from?” “your worst nightmares my boy she is your worse nightmare.” Vlad chuckles. Looking at Vlad as I sink my teeth into the human's neck. The frenzy and blood lust take over as soon as the first drop hits my tongue.
