ログインZeus hissed through his teeth. "Careful, girl. I might just take you right here, on this cold stone floor.""Oh no, senor," Francesca said, pushing him back playfully. "I think it's time you learned to follow orders." She turned and bent over, sticking her ass out toward him. Her wet skirt clung to her curves.Zeus's eyes went dark with lust. "What are you doing?"Francesca wiggled her hips. "Admiring the view, old man. You like what you see?" She looked back over her shoulder with a wink.Zeus's fangs glinted as he licked his lips. "I'd like it more if you stopped teasing and let me fuck you."Francesca laughed. "Ah, pero no, mi amor. Tonight I'm in charge. You just sit there and watch while I work on you."Zeus groaned, hips twitching forward. "Fuck, Francesca..."She shushed him gently, leaning in to lick up his shaft. "Shh, no talking, unless it's to say my name or beg for more."Francesca grinned wickedly, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Mmm, you've been a very bad boy, Zeus,"
Francesca gasped. “Hourlight ring? That thing let vampire walk under sun, sí?”Zeus nodded. “Exactly. If we find one, Elijah could stay under sunlight for twelve hours. No more hiding.”Francesca clapped her hands. “Ay, perfecto! That what I want! I gift him sunlight!” Her eyes shone. “We go now, sí?”Zeus arched a brow. “It’s far. Even if I carry us at vampire speed, we’ll only reach by evening.”She waved her hand. “No importa. I don’t care. We go. I find the ring, give it to him. He deserve it.”Zeus sighed, half amused. “You’re a stubborn little thing.”“I know,” Francesca said proudly. “Now come on, viejo. Let’s go find the magic ring.”Zeus shook his head but smiled, taking her hand. “Hold tight, little genie. You asked for it.”After hours of Wind pushing through the trees. They got to Haven Brook Town and reached the edge of the ruins.The old church stood crooked against the gray sky, half its roof gone, its bell long fallen. The air smelled of rain and iron.Francesca hugged
Around noon…Francesa having lunchBeep! Beep! her phone buzzed loudly“Madame, why you call me now? I’m eating, sí?” Francesa said with her mouth half-full of rice and beans.She had the radio loud, singing along to her favorite Colombian song. “Ay, qué rico ritmo!” she laughed, tapping the table with her spoon.“Francesa!” Madame’s sharp voice cut through the speaker. “You sound too happy. I have good news for you.”Francesa rolled her eyes. “Every time you say good news, is never good for me.”“This time it is,” Madame said quickly. “That rich man—the billionaire from the big house—you remember? His wife made him let you go? He wants you back. He said only you. He’s ready to pay double. You don’t need to stay in that cold vampire house anymore.”Francesa laughed. “Ay, Madame, you crazy. I no go back there. I like here. I happy.”“Happy?” Madame snapped. “Are you stupid? That man offers more money than you ever see. After all I’ve done for you, you say no?”Francesa stood, frowning.
That same morning in the kitchenShe turned at the sound of his approach, a smile blossoming on her face. "Hola, jefe. You come to check on me?" Elijah had found Francesa in the kitchen, humming softly as she wiped down the countertops.He crossed the room to stand behind her, hands settling on her hips. "We need to talk, Francesca. About my uncle. About our deal."Her smile faded, worry creasing her brow. "What deal? What you mean?"He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Zeus... he wants to fuck you. In exchange for his protection. For our safety."Francesa turned to face him fully, eyes wide. "Que? What he want, Elijah? I no understand.""He wants you, Francesca. Your body. Your blood. T." He hated the words, hated putting this on her. But he knew it was the only way.Francesa was silent a moment, absorbing his words. Then she nodded slowly. "I understand. You need his help, si? Then I do what you need. I fuck him crazy"Elijah's heart clenched at her acceptance, at her willing
“So this is your little hideout nephew ” Zeus asked as he stepped into Elijah’s room the next morning.Zeus lounged in a plush armchair, his silver-streaked hair falling over his shoulders, red eyes gleaming with wicked amusement. He sipped blood from a crystal glass, swirling the crimson liquid and watching it catch the light."Well, nephew," he drawled, "it seems you've gotten yourself into quite the mess. Exposed your little genie maid to the whole world." His chuckle rumbled through the room. "I can smell your fear - you know the other vamps will come for her. They'll sense her scent on you, see how you've marked her as yours."Elijah stood rigid before his uncle, fists clenched at his sides. The pain of his burns still throbbed beneath his healing skin, a constant reminder of how close he'd come to losing Francesa forever. He hated admitting weakness, but he knew Zeus was right. He wasn't strong enough to protect her alone. Not yet."And the hunters," Zeus continued, "always sn
