I heard Rickey's panicked voice and a faint presence of being shook.
"Jason what the fuck is happening!"
I felt tingly and I assumed it was from whatever damage I- Rickey must've done in the moment to my neck. It was kind of funny really, we've done these things a dozen times. When I snapped it back in place whatever damage was there probably shook loose a bit. Most injuries didn't make me pass out or anything, but some were tricky.
I groaned as my vision came back sitting back up feeling the blanket slide off of me exposing my bare chest, I didn't care enough right now and they both saw me naked anyway. I shook my head trying to shake off the fuzzy feeling.
"Luna! Fuck, what the Hell?!" Rickey shouted pulling me to him tightly.
Jason started laughing like crazy and I couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Mind filling me in on what's so funny you two?" Rickey released me then glared at us. Jason was leaning against the dresser now.
"I mean, you knew she was immortal- she just had some damage apparently- wait how the Hell did you get hurt?" Jason's face suddenly became a mixture of concerned and confused as he looked at me.
"Uh I just cracked my neck and I must've snapped some bone fragments in place and snapped my spinal chord a bit in the process or something really weird. . ."
"Did something happen on the trip?" his eyes started to get a glimmer of darkness in them.
Fuck, fuck I didn't know how to explain this.
"Did you fucking do something?" Jason spoke again glaring at Rickey baring his teeth with a growl.
Jesus he has no chill tonight. . . I mean come on the guy just asked me to marry him. I mean yes he did, but it wasn't his fault. Not like he meant to kill me. He needed to find out anyway, maybe not in this way, but.
"Whoa calm down, sort of- not intentionally, I didn't even know she was hurt" Rickey started to defend himself quickly.
"What, happened?" Jason pressed.
"I fucked her too hard into the bed with my hand around her neck."
Rickey snorted.
Jason's fists suddenly relaxed and his eyes shifted and his face dropped.
"Uh, I don't-"
"Yeah don't." Rickey snapped.
I buried my face in my hands and sighed.
"Oookay, everyone calm down- I think uh, we should have some confession time"
I admitted.
I didn't feel like there was another option at this point. I loved this being our secret, but in a way it still was- Rickey was the only person to see me in that manner and unless Jason started picking up his habits he would be the only one.
Rickey looked at me trying to read my face. I think part of him knew I didn't know where to start, and I didn't really want to be the one to explain so he cleared his throat before turning to Jason.
"She likes it rough, to put it vaguely without me telling too much information- this isn't the first time we've engaged in play like this so that's why I'm so surprised I somehow hurt her; the bed must have put my feeling off for how much pressure I was putting down"
Jason's eyes moved back and forth between the two of us and he opened his mouth to speak, but closed it.
I mean there wasn't much Jason could say. He never understood that need from me. He couldn't ever bring himself to engage in that kind of thing.
"I know it's not something you understand, she told me that- please just trust me this won't happen again and at least if anything ever happens to her I won't be as freaked" Rickey continued.
I was thankful he had found a way it seemed to make things sound okay.
"You really okay?" I heard Jason's voice whisper in my thoughts.
"Yes, I'm sorry I really didn't want you to find out like this- and I know you try to stay out of our sex life so. . ." I responded back.
"Hey uh, I do have one other thing I need from you though"
Jason tilted his head up with curiosity.
"Oh? Seems like you got everything already. . ." he glanced to the scene in front of him.
I felt Rickey's chest rumble below me as he laughed as I laid back down on him.
"I mean I do- except your blessing for her blood."
Jason looked confused and didn't respond.
"Well?" Rickey pushed.
"Do you honestly think that you needed to ask that now? Though I so appreciate it I kind of just figured it happen" he shrugged.
Jason started to get up taking that as his cue to leave.
"Congratulations though, I'll see you both in the morning. Love you babe" Jason said as he left the room.
"I'm sorry. . ." he whispered kissing the top of my head.
I tilted my head up to look at him.
"For what?"
"I know you didn't exactly want to share some of that- but more importantly for uh killing you I guess?" his face twisted into an unsure expression and I laughed a little.
"Don't be, I agree with you, I didn't even notice- I didn't even feel pain, most things don't effect me but certain injuries are a bit tricky"
"I mean I'd imagine something to do with your brain would be a bit difficult"
"Yeah just a bit, confuses the body for a moment" I shrugged.
"So uh, can I. . ." he looked at my neck and I couldn't help but giggle.
"Are you. . . nervous Sir?" I grinned.
He smiled.
"Something like that, had I known I was in the clear I would have done it while we were fucking kind of a bummer won't lie"
I mean I could always go for round two. . .
I thought to myself. God why did he have to make me such a horny person?
I flipped myself over so I was laying on my stomach beside him and I took my hair and swept it to one side and looked at him from the side.
"Well what are you waiting for then Sir? Take what's yours."
I smirked at him and I swear I could see an evil sparkle in his eyes as he quickly moved the covers throwing them off of us and got behind me.
"Well there's a couple of things. . . but first never scare me like that again"
He kissed the special spot on the back of my neck before sinking his teeth into it which made me let a mixture of a whimper and a moan of pleasure as I felt the heat start in my core again.
"I promise Sir." I whispered softly.
To my surprise he was quiet slow with his feeding from me and in a way very gentle. Which was so odd compared to how we had sex. Maybe it's because it's his first time feeding from me?
I think he could tell the fact that I was wanting him again semi because I was grinding against him as he laid on top of me. He grabbed one of my thighs and spread them and lifted a leg up somewhat as he leaned off of me. Once he moved my legs reached around putting his hand around the front of my throat pulling me up as he slowly removed his mouth.
"I think I'd feel better not shoving your neck into the mattress again tonight"
He chuckled sliding his tongue across the tingling bite mark before dipping his free hand down between me legs and slipping a finger into me eliciting another moan from my lips.
"I really can't get over how willing you are to give me every part of you, and only me." he whispered in my ear again and I felt his breath on the back of my neck again before he sunk his teeth back in.
The mixture of slight pain and pleasure was enough to make me almost cum and I felt myself clench at his now two fingers as they moved in and out of me as he circled his thumb on the bud. I think he knew I was close because he let out a small growl as he tighter his grip on me. I gladly let the wave of pleasure crash over me and cover his hand as I cried out his name moving my hands against his hand.
This was a new experience for both of us, we were bound to be somewhat greedy about it.
☾☾☾
"I mean I shouldn't have been surprised you'd taste so good, the other parts of you taste amazing" Rickey nuzzled my neck tucking the blanket around me.
I giggled.
"Okay calm down, I enjoyed it all just as much as you but I want to go to sleep"
A let out a happy sigh.
"I can sleep- I never thought I'd say that!"
"I'm happy for you love, though I will admit a tad jealous"
I frowned at him.
"I'm sorry babe. . . I love you all the same though"
He smiled.
"Oh I know" he grabbed my hand from underneath the blanket and kissed the ring.
"Goodnight."
"Night."
I had woken up around nine in the morning. Rickey had his arm around me still as he scrolled through his phone.
"Morning, you slept well huh?"
I smiled stretching.
"Mhm, couldn't remember anything though. . . which was strange, but it's only my second time"
"Maybe next time, Jason said Alexander wants to talk to you in the kitchen? Well rather both of us."
I groaned.
"Ugh, okay I'll go take a quick shower then-"
"Can I join?" he perked up.
I threw the covers up trying to make my escape to the bathroom.
"No I think we want to be on time!"
I yelled shutting the door to the bathroom giggling to myself.
"Okay but I kind of need one too. . . can I use the other? Or is that too distracting?" Rickey poked his head in the door pointing to the other shower.
I shook my head turning on the water.
"I won't be distracted"
When I turned around, while slightly feeling like my legs were still jello might I add, I had noticed a tent forming in Rickey's pants and I put my hand over my mouth trying not to laugh.
"Shut up, I'm gonna go take cold shower. . ." he rolled my eyes at me before blowing me a kiss.
"Yeah you should simmer down" I laughed stepping into the shower.
"That's not what you were saying last night" he quipped and I heard the other faucet turn on as I started to quickly wash my hair.
"Did they say how much time we had?"
I was starting to think maybe sharing a shower would have been easier rather than yelling at each other through the stupid shower.
"We have an hour- why you change your mind?" he laughed.
I started washing my body and shaking my head.
"You are relentless you know, I'm already still feeling like jello"
"That good huh?" he laughed more.
I didn't respond I just turned around and I went to grab more soap and a washcloth, but when I turned around Rickey had suddenly joined me.
"Rickey!"
He smiled.
"What? I owe you some good aftercare, no funny business I promise- though I won't promise my dick not responding" he held up his hands in defense before reaching his hand out for the cloth.
I raised my eyebrow at him before tossing it in his face and he simply shook his head letting it fall into his hands and grinned.
"Fair enough now turn around"
He kept his word, he washed down every part of me and even washing my face and didn't make a single move.
We turned off the water and I grabbed my towel wrapping it around my body and handed him another bath towel.
"We haven't had one of those shower in a while"
He smiled.
"I know, missed those" he grabbed his towel wrapping it around his waist and kissed my cheek.
I smiled and started walking back into the bedroom putting my hair up in a bun as I walked.
"Uh, I don't really have any of my super nice clothes here that are washed. . . think I can get away with some black jeans and a tshirt?" he said behind me.
I shrugged.
"Even if not, it's not like you're in the meeting so don't worry about it, in fact can I borrow one of your hoodies?"
I walked over to the dresser trying to find one of the right drawers after grabbing some underwear and a pair of black skin tight jeans.
"You can borrow whatever you want if you pass me my clothes" he laughed as I heard him plop down on the bed.
"Sounds fair"
I rummaged around until I found a HIM hoodie and slipped it on and grabbed Rickey's clothes from the other drawer and tossed it onto the bed.
He was sprawled out running his hands through his hair and what looked like some hair styling cream of some sort.
"If I remember right- it's the morning where Joshua makes breakfast for everyone so"
Rickey's head titled up and his eyes wide.
"Ooh like food, food?"
I laughed.
"Yes, pancakes, meats and all"
He quickly started rushing to put on his clothes.
"You had me at pancakes"
He admitted and I shook my head heading out of the bedroom.
I could smell the scent of the food from upstairs and as I made my way down I heard the laughter that was spreading into the family room and I peered through looking at everyone gathered in the kitchen. Jason was sitting on one of the stools on the island while Joshua and Matthew were busy setting up plates and Alexander sat beside Jason.
I put my arms around Jason from behind him reaching forward to kiss his cheek.
"Mattina"
(Morning)
He grabbed my hands and spun around placing a quick kiss on my lips.
"Mattina"
"Sorry, someone forgot to hand me socks" Rickey announced as he walked into the kitchen laughing.
"My bad" I laughed.
"Just in time for breakfast!" Joshua announced with excitement as he plopped the last of the pancakes onto a plate and placed it in front of the empty chair.
"Now sit down so we can eat" Matthew grumbled behind Joshua.
"Hey! it's his first meal don't be rude"
"I'm hungry" Matthew whined as he grabbed his plate and sat on the other side of the island.
Jason patted the the stool next to him and looked at Rickey.
"You heard him, trust me he'll complain until you do" he chuckled.
Rickey pushed the stools closer together and sat down.
Jason pulled my onto his lap before he spun back around and put me slightly on both of their legs.
"Perfect, alright boys everyone is here now."
Jason announced.
"Wait, wait before everyone digs in!"
Joshua interrupted as everyone started to pick up their silverware and Matthew just sent him a dirty look.
"Matthew I feel your glare on me, now it's our first big breakfast with Rickey and considering a congratulations is in order considering Rickey proposed to our lovely Queen last night"
Joshua raised his glass of orange juice and blood mixture.
"So, to new joy and happiness!" he explained.
"Jason and I are very lucky." Rickey chuckled lifting his glass and clinking it to everyone else's taking a sip.
"But also more importantly thank you for the food, you have no idea what it's like hanging out with these two never eating" he added as he started cutting his pancakes.
"Oh I know, especially when traveling? They don't even need to drink they just keep going" Joshua laughed.
I shook my head at them both.
"So where is everyone else? I thought there were like eight or so of you?"
Rickey shifted me on his leg and Jason put his arm around me holding me in place and I looked back at him smiling.
"There are, I made breakfast for all of them, they just eat in their rooms or whatever usually though, this spot is reserved for us big shots" Joshua took a bite of his eggs shrugging.
"Hey, I made the eggs and toast this time!" Matthew complained.
"Yes you did, thank you." Joshua rolled his eyes.
"So wait, did everyone know about this proposal except me?" I finally asked.
"Well, not everyone, but Jason did obviously- he then told me, I told Joshua in case-"
"I just am in the room next to you so" Matthew confessed.
"Wait, wait your room is next to mine?" Rickey looked at Matthew as he stopped eating his food.
"Sure is, third floor is top security as Alexander likes to call it; I'm across the hall from Matthew, Alexander is across from Luna and Jason's room, second floor is where the rest of the guards are and of course Jarred."
Joshua cut in before taking a bite of his bacon.
The smell of food filled my nose, it was odd sometimes sitting in on these and never being able to eat. I kind of felt a bit rude.
Rickey shook his head.
"I don't even know what to say, I almost have more questions. . ."
"Ask whatever you want dude, you're in the family now after all" Matthew chuckled.
"You guys just love sharing a bunch of information that makes his head spin I swear" Alexander muttered.
"I wouldn't say that, I just can't believe I never really noticed let alone thought about it- I knew you were up there Alexander, but that's all I thought"
"It was me for a while. . . then I thought it'd be better if we had another barrier, they had the same room for a little bit then split off because that wasn't an ideal plan" Alexander shrugged taking a drink.
"I also really got tired of trying to have sex with my girlfriend with him busting in all the damn time" Joshua added.
"Yeah, but Alexander still does is to everyone- except you three" Matthew huffed.
"You have a girlfriend? Never mentioned that" Rickey looked confused at Joshua.
"I did, once upon a time."
He responded rather quiet as he moved his food around.
I could tell he never really healed from that one. He loved her a lot, but they didn't ever fully work with his dedication with us. Which guilted me a ton.
"Oh, sorry"
"Don't feel bad for the jerk, you see how he gets girls when he wants them" Matthew snorted.
Rickey nodded in agreement smiling and Joshua rolled his eyes.
"I called off the main meeting for today, you just have a small one with Zadicus."
"I'm just saying, Luna looks pretty comfy I doubt she's gonna want to change that" Joshua gestured to me sitting on both their laps and looked up and down at my outfit.
"Joshua, I know Luna wants us to be more. . . friendly but show some respect for christ's sake. . ." Alexander grumbled.
I laughed.
"What? Her outfit is cute! speaking of- lemme see the ring!" Joshua dropped his silverware on the plate making a loud clank and reached for my hand.
I lifted my hand up putting it in his hands.
"Oooh, it's pretty not going to lie I thought he might try to buy you some black diamonds" he gave me my hand back.
"I would never let him put that merda on her hand, come on now Josh" Jarred's voice suddenly filled the kitchen as he looked at Joshua appalled.
"Sorry I'm late" he added.
I looked at him with my eyebrow raised.
"You helped him pick it out?"
He wasn't exactly against our relationship but I wouldn't say he was fully there with it either because he knew most about him.
"No, I can't take credit- Jason told me about it though" Jarred sat down at the end of the island and Matthew slid him a plate of food.
"What do we have going on today?" Rickey looked over at Jarred.
"Nothing, I might go hang out downtown tonight though" Jarred looked at Joshua and Matthew and gave them a trouble looking grin.
"Ugh, come on can't you take one of the others. . ."
I rolled my eyes at Matthew continuing to whine for the hundredth time this morning and picked up my glass of blood taking a sip.
"I'm down, Rickey you coming with us?" Joshua looked at Rickey then motioned to me.
"I might, I gotta go stop at my place for a bit- check on the girls and my idiot of a brother" he popped a piece of bacon in his mouth.
"So Seirra's back?" Joshua perked up.
"Oh god not this again. . ." Matthew grumbled.
"She is indeed."
I leaned my head back to lay my head on Rickey and Jason's shoulders as I listened to everyone talk.
☾☾☾
"Well congratulations, had I known of the events I would have just said we don't have to bother with this today" Zadicus laid his planner down as he sat down.
I shrugged.
"It's not a big deal he had to go home anyway for a bit."
"Any issues in Italy since you both got back?" Jason asked taking out his pen starting to write things down.
Zadicus shook his head.
"Seems like everyone accepted the change easily. . . they did however during the meeting ask if the change was because of things here. . ."
"The unfolding of recent events means this is going to be tricky to deny. . . even though they aren't related in the slightest."
Jason admitted sighing.
"Yes, Luna did recently explain everything to me, but I think we can all agree sharing that information with the public wouldn't look good."
"They were itching to get anything out of you two when you left that first meeting." Alexander commented.
Zadicus nodded.
"Exactly so, we'll see how things progress after the announcement. I mean I'm in control of it so they can't complain really, there's no distractions to be had."
Matthew walked into the room suddenly quickly bowing his head and whispered something to Alexander.
"Excuse me for a minute I have to deal with something. . ." Alexander suddenly leaned it to whisper something to Jason, but he spoke too quick for me to make it out.
"I'll be right back as well."
They quickly got up and left shutting the door behind them.
"Odd. . . anyway, I would assume that's when we would see any kind of change- as far as I could tell they didn't seem bothered by the change though, did you sense otherwise?" Zadicus wrote a few things down on his notepad before looking back at me.
"No, and l agree with Alexander. They're trying to get anything out of the two of us and that might be somewhat because of Rickey making a statement with us and you haven't yet. . . though I see no real reason since he holds no place in the council."
He nodded.
"No I agree, I will send a letter out informing them there is no need and we would rather be left alone, especially me" he laughed.
I smiled.
"I'd appreciate any help I can get with them, if everyone's on the same page then there's no need to-"
"Stay here. . . Please."
Zadicus was gone within the blink of an eye.
What the Hell was going on?
The room was pretty well soundproofed so hearing out of it was a bit tricky unless you were focused on things outside of the room. Upon my focusing I had heard shouting. I got up and headed to the door and opened it a crack.
"What do you mean you can't fix her? we have to fix her Jason! Besides she's in that special council of yours!" I faintly heard Rickey yelling.
If this had to do with someone in the council why didn't Zadicus want me out there? Should I go anyway? Did he hear something else that was important?
Fuck it. What was the worst that could happen with me entering some argument?
I stepped through the door and followed the voices into the foyer.
"It's not like that, she's like a little sister- this isn't the fucking time okay!"
I rounded the corner looking at Rickey being held back by Joshua and Alexander beside Jason. Zadicus came out of no where from behind me and grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
"I thought I told you to stay. . ." he sighed.
I looked at him.
"You did- it's Rickey though why don't you want me here-"
"Can he fix her?" Rickey's voice cut me off and Zadicus was looking behind me around the corner.
"Rickey I don't think-"
"I know who he fucking is Jason, if you won't and Luna can't then maybe. . ."
Zadicus looked down at me and then let me go and walked towards them.
"There's something you seem to be not understanding. . . there is no fix for your problem" Zadicus spoke calmly.
"What do you want? I'll give you whatever you want- except anything that involves Luna or Jason" Rickey shoved away Matthew and stepped towards Zadicus.
His pride and his confidence was filling the room, but I could also tell he was haunted by something. . .
"Rickey are you stupid? You want to try and make a deal with the Devil?" Jason hissed.
Zadicus chuckled.
"He isn't wrong you know. . . you can't give me anything I don't already have anyway."
"Delilah is like my little sister, I don't want her to suffer. . . please she can handle almost anything just try! please! I'm begging you, it'd be better if she died trying"
I kept my back pressed against the wall as I listened. Zadicus was right, me being here would not have helped.
"She knew what would happen if she broke the promise, there's nothing any of us can do to undo what she's done. . . not even to my knowledge"
Zadicus said calmly.
I wanted so badly to go be beside Rickey. To try and ease his pain, to help, to anything but I stayed hiding and closed my eyes tight.
"Rickey. . ." Jason said softly.
"Don't fucking touch me!" he screamed.
"As upsetting as it is, please understand we stressed how important it was to keep the promise. . ." Alexander then tried speaking calmly.
"Anything, Lord Zadicus anything, minus those two . . ." Rickey's pleas shocked me. He was even willing to refer to him as above him.
"There is nothing I can do child."
"Then fuck all of you, fuck all of you for making her suffer!" Rickey yelled.
"Rickey-" Matthew then tried speaking.
"No you fuck off too! I'm going home and holding her in my arms as she dies!"
The door slammed shut and the house fell silent.
I didn't blame Rickey for his anger. . . or his heartbreak. She was a sweet girl, but once a blood promise was broken your fate was sealed. . . Zadicus had no reason to hide that kind of information if there was a way out of it. . . He and I didn't have one. So I have to assume he's telling the truth.
"You can come out Luna. . ." Zadicus broke the silence finally.
I stepped out from my spot and started walking towards them.
"How much did you hear?" Jason asked.
"Enough. . . has anyone checked in with Jarred?"
Matthew shook his head.
"But he's with Delilah. . . Rickey came over here to see if anyone could fix things. . ."
"Why did you stop me from seeing him?" I glared at Zadicus and he just rolled his eyes.
"You came out here anyway, you chose to stay hidden after that, don't blame me."
He was right, I hated to admit it, but I did stay in the shadows instead of coming out.
"I know what you're thinking Luna. . . don't go after him" Jason finally spoke.
I rubbed the ring on my hand and took a deep breath.
"When should I then ask him? Or comfort him or whatever. . ."
He shook his head.
"I may not know enough from personal experience about him- but something gives me the impression he wouldn't normally get on his knees and beg for help"
Zadicus commented.
My eyes widened.
Rickey? Got on his knees? And to top it off he begged Zadicus out of all people?
"Babe you know he would have come to you. . ." Jason said softly stepping over to me and took my hand.
"Why isn't there a way for us to break it. . . we can live through anything- surely those too" I mumbled.
"I don't know about you two, but I surely haven't tried to test that theory"
"We can control their body but a stupid blood promise is a problem? it just seems like bullshit" I spat.
"I won't disagree, but everyone knew the consequences- she saw what happened to the others"
I shook my head at his words.
"I think you were too close to this one Luna-"
"Don't you dare say my judgement was clouded!" I growled ripping my hand away and walked towards Zadicus.
"And what if she has told someone critical information that shouldn't be allowed outside of the council? Things that could hurt the three of you- ignore my safety and think about it that way, then would you feel the same way?"
My body slumped as I realized he wasn't wrong. . . as much as I had hated it, I didn't know exactly what she had said or done that broke her promise. . . Maybe to some degree my judgement was clouded.
"You chose her."
I reminded him.
"I did, but I didn't know you were engaging with someone in the same house"
He countered.
"What about your brother?"
I looked back at Jason who frowned.
"I can't guarantee we'll be the first he goes to. . ." he said somberly.
"I'll go" Joshua stepped forward.
We all looked at him confused as to the clear plan that he had, but none of us were aware of.
"Don't hate me for this your majesty, but I was with your brother when he first came here. . . I might be able to consul him" he tilted his head down.
I had to admit, the guards were really good with their act around Zadicus.
"Forgot about that. . ." Zadicus muttered.
"You forgot you slaughtered his wife in front of him? Yeah turns out it severely traumatizes a person especially when another girlfriend of his is dying" Jason snapped.
"Lets not start anything we'll all regret. . . there's nothing any of us can do, Joshua will go and find out what he can for us- as long as permission is granted of course"
Alexander cut in trying to bring down the fight that was brewing.
"I give my permission. . ." Jason mumbled.
"I grant my permission as well." Zadicus spoke.
"Go Joshua. . . do whatever is needed. . ." I said quietly.
He nodded before flashing out of the house.
"Was one girl not enough for you?" Jason scoffed looking at Zadicus.
They glared at each other for a moment.
"I'm going to ignore that comment being that we're all under some stress and I understand that this situation is especially close to you. . ."
"I think we can all agree we'll do a check in meeting about this situation once we get more information and Lord Zadicus can go home until then. . ."
Alexander sighed once again being the bringer of peace.
"I'll escort him out." Matthew offered.
Zadicus looked at Jason and I once more before following Matthew.
"This is a giant mess" Alexander sighed.
"Alexander I'm really hoping you've already come up with a crazy quick plan because I'm really torn on who to be right now . . ." Jason looked at Alexander who was now rubbing his head.
"I. . . the council should come first, however being that we can't do anything to help it makes the balance easier, however then there is the problem that Zadicus brought up- what did she say?"
We looked at each other.
Surely we had to assume that it would be nothing to harm either of us. After all, her and Rickey were close. . . was that naïve of us to assume that though?
"I think our hands are tied until Joshua reports back. . ." Matthew joined the circle with his arms crossed.
"Besides. . . depending how quickly he came- she'll be dead before we know it" Alexander said with remorse.
My shoulders slumped again with dread.
