SIXTEEN

"Terra, come on, put your shirt on, Aren and Vera will arrive soon," I ordered while checking the roast veal through the oven window and estimating the right time to add potatoes. It was a very hot day, more than usual in LA in spring, and a bead of sweat ran down my neck; I would've preferred a light and fresh salad for lunch but unfortunately my roommates grumbled like toddlers when they saw veggies and they still liked their meat rare. I guess vampires were carnivores by nature and it was futile to try to fight against their instincts. "Damn, this feels like the kitchen of hell..."

"Did you know that hell is covered in ice in some areas? At least, Dante believed it and the Bible says that murderers, sorcerers, fornicators, idol worshipers and all liars will be thrown into that lake of fire and burning sulphur, but it says nothing about other sinners... I guess the contrast between hot and cold is even more painful..." The vampire frowned pensively, putting out her cigarette and taking her shirt as I'd asked her to do.

"Have you been reading Paradise Lost by Milton again?" Ruby walked in the kitchen and flopped down on a chair, leaning her elbows on the table and staring at her sister amused but, before Terra could answer, Aren and Vera came in holding hands. I wondered if I also had that stupid look on my face every time I was with my vampires... probably yes.

"Well, is it all settled?" The vampire looked impatient and leaned his hip on the kitchen island, relaxing apparently, while watching Vera out of the corner of his eye when she got closer to me in order to hug me.

Right then, I realized Aren was even more overprotective than Terra and monitored all the movements of my personal trainer, but he was smart enough to hide what he was doing so my very independent friend wouldn't feel upset. Vera had been taking care of herself for years and wouldn't like to see her mate behaving like a jerk caveman. I could picture in my mind what would happened when she noticed it, because she was going to notice what was happening sooner or later, I was pretty sure of that, and all the Brazilian rage was going to fall on the Viking... the entire State would hear the fireworks. I smiled mockingly and my boss stared at me with squinty eyes, I didn't try to hide my thoughts and allowed him to read that I was making fun of him while Ruby snorted behind me.

"I can't believe this, I've always wanted to visit Europe..." Vera sighed dreamily and stole a cherry tomato from a tray on the counter where other ingredients were waiting for me to make the salad that only humans would eat.

"Marcus is dying to meet you both, he doesn't like to be alone and misses us sometimes too so he was excited when I called him to tell him we were going to spend some long holidays in Naples." Terra chuckled while pointing at the plane tickets and maps on the table. "I'm pretty sure he's told his housekeeper to clean the entire villa, plant more flowers in the garden, buy more food and cook her wonderful pasta dishes for us..."

"I can cook too," I explained ready to help... and I wanted my new father-in-law to like me, of course. I was very concerned about that but Ruby winked at me and shook her head.

"No way, you're a guest in his house, although you can try to bribe him with a delicious cheesecake..." I nodded taking note of her advice. "When do you think you'll be able to travel, Vera?"

"I'll need at least one week to get things ready at the gym. The truths is that I've been focusing and working on my business alone for long time, it took me years to be successful and I've done everything, from dealing with suppliers to doing the bookkeeping, teaching Zumba and cleaning, and now it's difficult fro me to find people to delegate work knowing that they won't pay attention to small details like I do... I need to make sure my gym is in good hands but Aren is helping me a lot." I raised an eyebrow, puzzled, because the vampire had never been in a fitness room before meeting me and I didn't understand how he was be able to help my friend, although I knew he was good at trading and ran shipping businesses. "He reads my employees and new applicants' minds and tells me who the responsible and serious ones are and who the ones that want to take advantage of me are."

"That's not ethical," I complained rolling my eyes.

"But it's the practical thing to do," Aren replied immediately. "I propose that you travel now and we'll follow you later when we can, it's ridiculous that you have to stay here in LA doing nothing while Vera works."

"We could stop in Spain and visit Iselen's family," Terra leaned forward to check one map.

"My family?" I asked scared.

"Don't you want to see them?"

"Well, yes... of course, but I don't know how to tell them that we are..." I pointed at the vampires and my girls looked at me amused while I turned beet red due to my embarrassment. "To be honest, I don't know how my family is going to take this polyamorous thing..."

"You don't have to tell them, babe, we can say we're your friends..." Ruby shrugged calmly. "I know you don't like when we manipulate human minds but we can make your family and friends believe that we're your bosses taking advantage of their new housekeeper to tour around Spain with the best guide ever..."

"I don't like to lie to them, you're important in my life and I want them to know it, I don't want you to think that I..."

"That you feel ashamed of us or of our relationship?" Terra shook her head, smiling. "We know you aren't like that, amor, but there's no need to shock your family with these news, they'll be worried about you and probably will try to put pressure on you somehow... We can spare you that telling them that we're friends and that's all." I nodded reluctantly but admitting it was the best idea. "So, we'll make plans to travel this weekend and we'll see you at Marcus' home in a few days..." Aren smiled and took a look at the oven.

"When lunch will be ready?"

"It'll take half an hour, maybe a little more... But I'll set the table in the dining room, this kitchen is too hot..."

"Perfect," the Viking cut me off abruptly. "If you'll excuse us, we'll see you later..." The vampire dragged a flushed Vera out of the room while his sisters burst into laughing.

"I don't even need to read his mind to know what they're going to do," I grumbled shaking my head in disbelief. "Does this mean that vampires can't control themselves, not even for 30 minutes?"

"When our mates are involved no, we cannot... you should know that..." Terra smirked mischievously flashing one of her fangs while leaving her chair in order to find her cigarette packet and I blushed slightly. Ruby was chuckling when I tilted my head to take a look at the maps and plane tickets on the table but then, hearing Terra moving behind me and remembering how she'd made fun of me, I decided to listen to the little devil sitting on my shoulder: I leaned my torso forward with a fake innocent grin on my lips, raising my butt covered with denim shorts just a little bit, with my eyes fixed on the documents. Suddenly, I felt some strong hands grabbing tightly my waist and Terra's body pressed harshly against the back of mine.

"You just had to bend over, didn't you? You had to tease me." Her warm breath against my neck sent shivers down my spine and my panties started to get wet immediately.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

"Seriously?"

"To be honest... no." I couldn't help but smirk mischievously and winked at her, she looked at me shocked by my audacity while Ruby chuckled sat behind me. Terra frowned, staring at me weighting something in her mind, till she forced me to bend over the table again with a sudden movement: this time my chest and my cheek were leaned on the polished wood surface.

"Don't you dare move from there till I come back," her dominant tone of voice sent shivers down my spine. Ruby leaned her tattooed arms on the table with her fingers intertwined while her sister walked out the kitchen door and she placed her chin on them in a way that she was able to look right into my eyes without forcing me to raise my head. She smirked mischievously and butterflies fluttered like crazy when a ray of sunlight made her fangs sparkle.

"You shouldn't have done that," I stared at her confused when hearing her serious tone of voice. "Terra takes teasing as a challenge and when you challenge her she gets... creative with the punishment." The word 'punishment' made me frown puzzled but right at that moment, her sister came back into the kitchen and Ruby turned her head in her direction to be able look at her without moving her chin from her hands in front of me. Mesmerized, I could see how her pupils got blown due to arousal till only a hint of blue-green was visible, then she turned to face me again and raising an eyebrow she said in a serious tone: "You're in trouble, little human."

I swallowed hard when she moved away and walked towards her sister. I even tried to turn my face to catch a glimpse of their plans but was stopped by Terra's hand pressing harshly between my shoulder blades, pinning me down on the table.

"Stay," she said sternly before taking my T-shirt off with fast movements. Her hands slipped to my hips and she hooked her thumbs in the waistband of my shorts, pulling them down my legs along with my panties and taking them off before slapping my buttock gently, making me yelp. Suddenly, they moved faster than my human brain was able to process and my hands were cuffed behind my back by one of the vampires while the other did the same with my ankles, fastening them to the table legs leaving me with my own legs wide open. I twisted awkwardly and opened my mouth to tell them to let me go but Terra leaned forward and hushed me again. Then, she slid her flat tongue from my nape down my spine till reaching my upper buttock area where my hands were cuffed. I couldn't help but moan out loud despite my brain was shocked by what was happening.

I felt some movements behind me and a soft breeze fanning my legs. I held my breath when the tongue of one vampire brushed over my clit gently with a light as a feather touch. 'Which one is this?' I thought with my mind clouded over by lust while she kept brushing my clit again and again. It was Ruby the one who was kneeled down between my legs, I knew it when Terra hovered over my body to be able to whisper in my ear.

"Let's see who loses control now." Her sister's tongue made further contact with my flesh and she started licking my pussy lips and my opening greedily, moaning at my taste, before circling my clit causing my body to twist on the table. Terra placed her hands on my hips harshly digging her fingertips on my skin, holding me tight, she moved a step forward and I felt something hard but soft pressing my opening, rubbing slowly in circles and getting soaked in my juices.

"A dildo? That's not a creative punishment after all," I thought with a flash of lucidity before getting carried away by the feelings. My vampires were always able to make me go from 0 to 100 in less than a second. Ruby's tongue licking and sucking on my clit sent sparks of pleasure through my body while the movements of the dildo tip made me bucked back, looking for a further contact while Terra teased me entering me slightly but never giving me what I really craved. I was so lost in my pleasure and in their excitement while they touched me, since I was able to feel them through the bond, that it took me a few minutes to realize that Terra had moved her hand and her thumb was rimming my anus at the same pace she was circling my opening with her toy. I writhed on the table, breathing heavily and gasping for air, when she put some pressure with her thumb and her dildo at the same time, thrusting them a little more than before. My neighbour chuckled behind me when hearing the plea falling from my lips.

My body was drenched in sweat because of the damned oven, slipping on the table polished surface moving back and forth, trying to force Terra to enter me with her toy but she didn't allow it: I let out an angry and frustrated groan. Suddenly, I felt something cold pushing into my anus and the tip of the dildo coated with a generous amount of lube started to enter me, this time she didn't stop.

"No!" I screamed shuddering but my cry turned into a moan when Ruby took my clit between her lips and sucked it hard into her mouth, flicking it with the tip of her tongue. Her sister leaned over me, placing one arm around my rib cage and her other hand wrapped around my neck, and she pulled me towards her body, my back arching almost painfully, before asking me very politely.

"Sorry, did you say something?"

"No... nothing." I could sense the cocky smirk spreading across her lips without looking at her before feeling her pushing her hips against my butt with great care. My body started an internal fight between the pleasure that Ruby's tongue was making me feel and the burn that the vampire was causing in my back entrance, sensations were overwhelming and tears ran down my cheeks freely. Terra took control of the air flow in my lungs chocking me slightly with the hand wrapped around my neck, forcing me to gasp desperately while she kept moving her hips forward, entering me slowly but nonstop till the bare skin of her thighs touched my flesh and her toy was deeply inside me.

She let my chest rest on the table again with great care, my temple soaked in sweat and my cheek soaked in tears appreciated the cold touch of the polished wood surface. Terra grabbed my shoulder with one of her hands while placing the other one between my shoulder blades to pin me down. Meanwhile, Ruby used her thumbs to open my pussy lips and pushed aside gently the delicate hood that covered my clit before placing her flat tongue over it and starting licking and sucking aggressively at a feverish pace. Terra moved slightly in and out, picking up speed at the same time that my moans increased in intensity and turned into screams. The hand that was on my shoulder covered my mouth silencing me.

"Shhh, you don't want Aren and Vera to hear you, do you?"

To be honest, I didn't care at all about the Viking and the Brazilian trainer's opinion at that moment, I only wanted my girls to keep moving. The beautiful vampire realized I was horny as hell and started rocking her hips faster, mercilessly: I lost control exactly the way she predicted minutes before. While her hand muffled my increasingly louder screams, my body took advantage of the sweat to use it as a lube allowing me to slide back and forth on the table to meet her dildo. I could hear Terra panting due to the effort behind me and Ruby's moans that sent vibrations from my pussy all over my body. I started begging for more and more, despite they were moving as fast as they were able without hurting me, my legs were shaking tied to the table legs and my wrists twisted behind my back, the wood crackled under my body while Terra's hand between my shoulders tried to keep me in my place. The table started to move sliding on the tiled floor due to her powerful thrusts and Ruby needed to crawl following us trying not to lose contact with my core.

Desperately, I started begging but my screams were still muffled by her hand. Between my legs, I could feel Ruby's hand grazing my thigh before entering my pussy with one finger and crooking it slightly looking for the perfect spot to drive me crazy. Suddenly I cummed hard, convulsing on the table while seeing sparks of light dancing behind my eyelids, arching my back while my mouth opened to let out a silent cry and all my muscles got tensed. They both continued with their movements extending my orgasm till I couldn't stand it anymore and bit Terra's hand that was still on my mouth: I thought I was about to faint. They finally stopped and I collapsed on the table surface, my body went limp, only my chest was able to move due to my gasps while I tried to bring air into my lungs.

I just shuddered when she removed the dildo from my body, too exhausted to do anything else. My wrists and ankles were released but I didn't move from my place, my legs had turned into jelly and I didn't think I could stand up. Ruby entered my field of vision and she leaned her chin on her tattooed hand again while she stared right into my eyes, her lips were swollen and sweat bathed her forehead... Oh my God, she was so beautiful... Carefully, she wiped my tears away with her thumb and her soft fingers brushed some wet locks away from my face.

"I'd say that we've managed to make this little human lose control," she said before winking at me naughtily. I felt Terra's body hovering over me, she was still breathing heavily due to the effort of fucking me, but she kissed my shoulder and then my cheek with love, making me close my eyes and sighing.

"This will teach her not to tease a powerful vampire," I heard her say smiling.
