I sit with Marcus with tears in my eyes.
"What was that about?"
"That's what his dad told him about me. Except the man drilled it in Tye's head all day. He was so stressed out by the time we got to his apartment. I could only rub his back and try to calm him down." I shrug my shoulders. "He's still a teenager too. He means well. He doesn't want you to have bad s*x all your life. Figured someone had to tell you."
"At least someone did. It sure as hell wasn't going to be my dad."
I wipe a tear off my face. Then I lay my head on his chest. "What is going on with your dad?"
"I guess our dad's have been trading stuff back and forth for a long time. Village stuff, information, whatever else villages trade. My dad had no idea I was here. Your dad had no idea he was my dad. Nothing bad... Now my dad knows I'm here, so he thinks he should get extra stuff because we're related. Dipak put me in the head seat and I told him off. He's nothing but a piece of s**t. We're not going to trade anything with them now." He rubs my hair. "Growing up was horrible. I don't think my parents wanted kids. I was a mistake that ruined their lives for 300 years. The second I was old enough to stay outside the castle, I would go camping and be gone for a week at a time. When I would come home they would yell at me for anything. I tried to avoid them. But they would find me and yell at me for not being good enough. When I got to be about the size of a 10-year-old human, I would stay with friends when I could. Between camping and staying with friends. I could pretty much take care of myself. I didn't need to go home much by then. I went home one time around that age to change my clothes. My dad broke my nose and threw me down 3 flights of stairs because I brought home dirty clothes from living in the woods. I wanted some clean clothes. I was so young. I ended up in the medical area. They gave me hot food and drinks. Blood. It was amazing being back. Then my mom showed up while I was still there. She started yelling at me because I stress my father out. I learned to sneak in and out better after that. But if they caught me in the castle, it was always the same thing. Sometimes I would end up in the medical area. Sometimes I could heal and rest in the woods. I had nowhere else to go. I was so young. I couldn't fight back. Then 1 day I never went back. I ran. I figured anything would be better than going back. I made up my mind that I wanted to help kids like me. Someday that's what I would do. And here I am."
I am not comfortable.
"What's wrong."
"I'm trying not to declare war." I stretch my neck.
"Oh."
"Would you be mad if I declared war?"
"It's not worth anyone getting hurt."
I stand up. "I need my swords."
"What are you going to do?"
"Walk around. Twirl swords. Try not to war. NOVA."
"Yes."
"Move the brains in the front yard."
"Baby, it's not worth anything. It was a long time ago. It's over now."
"MAYBE IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO FOR YOU. BUT IT'S NEW TO ME." I take off for the stairs.
"Honey."
"GO TO THE MEETING. I WILL TRY NOT TO KILL PEOPLE. THAT IS ALL YOU GET."
He spins me around and kisses me. "It was so long ago."
"THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL MAD?"
"You are mad baby."
"YOU ARE MAD TOO."
He nods. "But killing them won't fix anything. It won't change what happened. It won't make them like me. It won't give me any answers to why it happened. It'll only hurt a bunch more people. I don't want that."
"Did you help other kids that were like you?"
"Some of them were like me."
"Did you ever get a why for any of them?"
"Nothing that ever makes any sense. Horrible parents who don't want to be bothered by a child."
I hug him tight.
"It meant so much to me that day I got the apartment. You made sure I had a bed and clothes. Some soap and towels. You went through the book with me, so I could get furniture. No one ever looked out for me like that. I love you so much. Will you calm down please? We can't change the past. The future looks amazing though."
Dipak and Omar come up on the roof. "Why are the brains in the front yard?"
I start sobbing.
"Say something, Nadine."
"His mom and dad are bad and mean."
"Are you trying to go destroy them?"
I nod.
Dracul walks up. "Are we at war?"
Omar shakes his head. "She's at war with herself right now."
Marcus scoops me up, and I wrap around him with my arms and legs. "It was so long ago. It's not worth people getting hurt. It's over now. They can't hurt me anymore."
Omar nods. "If you want to get even. Show them how happy you are. Show them that you are more powerful than they will ever be. Show them how much better off you are without them. And know that you did it by yourself."
Dipak smirks. "Then make out with her and Nova in front of your dad. That'll get him jealous."
Marcus chuckles.
"Are you calming down now, Nadine?"
Marcus keeps holding me. I'm wrapped around him with my head on his chest. He's swaying me back and forth.
"I think she went little, Dipak."
"She might be. What do bad girls get?"
I point at him and giggle.
"You want your bear?"
I shake my head.
"It's a lot to process. It's understandable if she is. Let me know. I'm going back in."
Dipak tilts his head. "You can have anything you want for dinner. What do you want?"
"Cake and ice cream."
Marcus pats my butt and chuckles. "That was going to be the same no matter what."
"Yea, I didn't think that through. Nova, send the brains back in the building."
Marcus carries me in his apartment and sits on the chair with me. "You ok baby?"
"I think so. I don't like not killing them."
"I know. Maybe we can bring the trades back. Then they can watch me be amazing."
"You are amazing. Sorry I went murdery."
"You're a queen and someone hurt your mate. I think that's a normal reaction."
"I have said it a million times, if anyone gets to hurt one of you jackasses... It's me. Nobody else. I will kill them."
"It was a long time ago. I'm sure they won't ever try it again."
I snuggle him. "Mine."
"All yours." He gives me a kiss. Then he lays his head back laughing.
Nova is standing in the middle of the floor naked. "I am dry."
"Yep." Then I rub my eyes. "Do you know where my boys are?"
"Tye and Dipak are in Dipak's office. Tre is in his own office."
"Is anyone in there with him?"
"No."
"Turn on flirty and go give Tre a blow job. You can flirt with him and touch him. He can touch you. No s*x. This is a 1-time thing."
She comes over and gives me a kiss bye. "Ok."
"Always kissing me."
"You are the best mate ever. And you sent her to the advisor hall naked."
I crack up laughing. "Yea, I didn't mean that part."
"What do you want to do?"
"You."
He smiles and kisses me again.
We kiss for a few minutes and someone knocks on the door. "You weren't joking about alone time."
I open it and Tre comes running in with Nova. "She's trying to take my pants off. She is kissing my neck."
"I told her to."
"Why?"
"I thought you would like it."
"I like you woman. That's creepy. I like you or the both of you together. Not just her."
"Ok. I won't do it again."
He kisses my head. "Thank you baby." Then he leaves.
"I didn't see that coming. Do you think it would be creepy?"
"No. It's fine as long you send her. It's not like it's behind your back."
"That's what I thought too. Is Dipak alone now?"
"Yes. In his office."
"Go do that for Dipak. But grab something to wear first."
"I got some plain t-shirts in the dresser. Go grab one of those."
I straddle Marcus again and kiss him.
Then there's another knock on the door. "Really?"
"Woman, this thing is trying to suck my dick."
"Yea I told her she could once. Thought maybe you would like it."
"Oh. Ok." He grabs her by the head. "Come on."
I shut the door. Me and Marcus crack up laughing.
He rubs his eyes. "He grabbed her by the head. 'Come on'."
I straddle him. I kiss his neck slowly and kiss his marking spot. "I love your dark eyes."
"I love yours." He kisses my marking spot. I close my eyes and enjoy it. "It's almost dinner baby. I can be fast. But not that damn fast."
"I can be that fast. I can get you to c*m right here. I don't even have to get any of your clothes off."
"You think you'll make me c*m without touching my d**k?"
"Yes."
"And no using brains or anything. You are going to leave my d**k in my pants?"
"Yes."
"You would not be able to."
"Yes I would."
"No you wouldn't."
"What do you want to bet?"
"You only got 10 minutes."
I give him a deep kiss and drop the top of the dress.
I stand up and take the dress off.
"No biting either."
"I won't."
His eyes are already black.
I climb on top of him and scratch my nails over his marking spots. Then I kiss them and rub my p***y against his hard d**k.
He grabs my hips and thrusts it towards me.
I grab his throat. "No." His eyes go darker. I move his hands back to the arms of the chair. "None of that. You'll turn me on to much." Seems like I have another one that might like being told what to do.
I grab his throat, pull his hair, kiss his marking spot, and rub my p***y on him at the same time.
"Fuck." He grabs the chair arms and thrusts it up again.
I bite his shoulder. "I told you none of that. Don't make me tie you up." I put my hands up his shirt and drag my nails down his chest. I bite his lip lightly.
His eyes are so black.
I kiss his marking spot and scratch on the other one. Then I grab his throat and draw my fangs. His d**k throbs so hard. "Good boy."
"FUCK."
I rub my p***y back and forth on his d**k. "You ready to beg for it yet?" I grab his hair and pull his head back. I give him a deep kiss. "Say please."
"Please."
I grab him by the throat and drag my fangs over his marking spot.
He throbs so hard underneath me. He grabs my hips and pushes it towards me. "Damn baby."
I hold him close and snuggle him. Then I fix his hair.
"I'm sorry if that was to much. I got a little overexcited, and you said I only had 10 minutes. I felt rushed." He stares at me. "I'm sorry. That was to much. You didn't like it, did you?"
"I loved everything about that. But I didn't know it was possible. I'm shocked. I'm shocked it worked. I'm shocked it came out of you. I'm shocked I liked it. I've never had anything like that done to me."
"I felt rushed. I should have gone slower." I put my dress on.
"I loved it. I did." He gives me a kiss. "I love you. You amaze me woman."
"I love you. You ready to go have cake and ice cream? I'm not missing that."
"I need 2 minutes. I'll be right back."
He runs back to his room and the water kicks on in the bathroom.
"Thank you. I wasn't going to dinner with c*m on me."
I smirk. "Not tonight anyway."
His eyebrows shoot up. "I love you. I can't even think of anything else to say."
"I love you too. Make sure Dipak gets my cake and ice cream. He said I could have it. Don't let him out of that."
"Ok."
"Promise?"
"Yes. I will make sure you get cake and ice cream tonight."
"Thank you."
We hold hands and go to dinner.
