(Brielle’s POV)“Enough. I’m sharing my bedroom.”The owner of the voice roared in authority in the home bar, telling everyone she was willing to share her bedroom with a hint of disappointment with the siblings and perhaps to end our meaningless conversation as she walked in our direction.The clanking of her high-heeled shoes, the fluidity of her walk, or maybe just her presence, quieted everyone. Even my heartbeat stopped for a second as I pressed my lips tightly, realizing I was gawking at her like Gen. It was hard not to stare because she was beautiful.Ah! Not beautiful, my thoughts disagreed.Beautiful was not the best word to describe her because she looked like a hot Amazonian warrior in a sexy sage green silk dress, hugging her alluring and shapely body. I stood beside Cole when I realized she was heading in his direction and suddenly felt intimidated by her power over everyone in the room.She flipped her moon-shadow black hair as she stopped before him.“Kione,” Cole murmu
(Cole’s POV)“Do something about those women, Cole,” Ichiro scowled.We crowded Aarush’s bedroom and watched our uninvited guests on his state-of-the-art technology from his computer monitors. Aside from his working place, Aarush’s bedroom looked like another workstation.Five pairs of eyes followed Brielle’s every movement on the screen from the surveillance cameras when I left her alone in the living room after breakfast. She walked the hallways but did not attempt to come to any rooms. Brielle would sometimes stop, grope the wall, and continue walking if she thought nothing unusual about it.While they watched her, I sat on the couch, took an old book from the side table, and flipped the page carefully.“Smart,” grinned Aarush, realizing Brielle was looking where the cameras were because a few minutes later, the screen went blank for a short second and went back again, but she could not be seen in the hallway.“But not that one,” Ichiro pointed at Gen.Although Gen knew there were
(Brielle’s POV)This day had been so boring that I had to run twice around the mansion after tampering with the cameras in the hallways. The locals knew no one had ever stayed in this place for long except for a few days of business trips that made a few family members stay, but it seldom happened. Perhaps the cameras were for people who would enter the mansion uninvited, but this town has an almost zero percent crime rate. I had been to every door, memorizing whose bedroom it was or which the room was for, until I found Kione’s room. I did not go inside yet; instead, I ran through the driveway and did not dare get out of the metal gate. When I got tired, I lay on the grass and bored my eyes on the palace-like house of the Kirkwood. The mansion was empty, but there was something homey about it like I belonged here.The growling of my stomach made me walk back inside the mansion, but as soon as I walked through the living room, a note on the center table stopped me.‘Love pizza?’
(Brielle’s POV)There was magic in Kione’s bed because I immediately fell asleep as soon as I lay my back on the fluffy cream-colored bed sheet. I had never owned one in my life, and back in the days when I had to train, sleeping in a good bed was a luxury.It was the soft moaning that woke me up, ripping me from sleep, and had me open my eyes to see what it was. I rolled to my side where the movement was coming from and squinted to see if I was still dreaming or was really seeing Gen and Kione naked. Gen was on top, giving Kione much pleasure as she kneaded her mounds.“Woah! What’s happening?” I asked, rolling to my other side until I fell on the floor.I heard the two women chuckle. Gen crawled and peered her head on the edge of the bed to check on me. “I’m giving our host a massage. Want to join us, Barbie?”My eyes widened when Gen closed her eyes and moaned. Kione must have done something to her that she had forgotten I was there. She just kept on howling lowly as she bit her bo
(Cole’s POV)I was sure Brielle was freezing, but as soon as my lips molded on hers, she had forgotten she was shivering. I was only supposed to press my mouth on her soft lips, but I could not resist deepening the kiss. I slipped my tongue out, hoping to urge her lips apart, but I didn’t need to do that because Brielle was a good girl, parting her lips and welcoming me.Something inside me was screaming that I should stop, but something was addicting in her. The moment my tongue tasted her, I didn’t want to end the kiss, just wanted more. My fingers moved fast, unbuttoning her top pajamas, and I could not help feeling triumphant about a very small thing, finally feeling her smooth skin as she wrapped her arms around my neck and arched her body on mine.“Brielle,” I whispered, breaking our kiss to let her breathe.“Cole.”Her eyes were filled with desire, or maybe she only reflected what she saw in me. A little more of this, I was not sure if I could still stop myself from sinking my
(Cole’s POV)Just one night, it was my promise to everyone, but another night would not hurt us, especially me. I spent the whole night gazing at Brielle, who slept like a baby. Whenever Gen called her barbie doll, I wished to correct her that she looked more like the moon goddess than the fashion doll.My fingers brushed the few strands of hair in her face and tucked them behind her ears. Feeling her soft skin and looking at her gorgeous and alluring face, I sometimes forgot who we were and why we had to stay strangers.She took me by surprise last night when she went into the tub to get me out of the water, and if Aarush didn’t come, I would not stop and would not dare care about her being the enemy of my kind. The Order of the Orion misunderstood our existence, including us in the rogue vampires they met and hunted, but we were not like them.“You can kiss me, you know. I’ll just pretend I’m still asleep,” Brielle murmured, curving her lips into a smile. Slowly, she opened her eyes
(Brielle’s POV)“I never thought I’d say this, but I wish we weren’t human,” I teased Cole as I opened my duffel bag.Gen or Kione must have placed them on his bedroom’s doorway when I didn’t come back after what I witnessed last night. Still, I wanted to thank Gen for giving Kione a ‘really good massage’ because if not for that, I would not flee to Cole’s bedroom, and all these would not happen.The word ‘made love’ or ‘good sex’ were not words that could describe the heavenly emotions I felt when we both reached seventh heaven and bit me in the neck. My hands found the clothes I was looking for, but I did not move, still thinking of the uncanny but remarkable feelings.I clutched my hand on the clothes I found inside my duffel bag as I thought it could be my imagination that he bit me because when I stared at his mirror wall, there was no mark on my neck except for the love bites.When Cole didn’t say anything, I turned my head in his direction and saw him leaning on the bathroom do
(Brielle’s POV)“You don’t have to answer that question, Brielle,” Cole said as he picked up his cup and sipped coffee.“What?” Aarush shook his head. “We had to know and…” he looked at Kione. “We should celebrate, right?”Gen released a laugh as she looked at Aarush. “Why? Did Cole have a hard breakup and barbie doll here… I mean, Brielle helped him move on?”“Darling,” Kione reached for her hand and squeezed it. “My brother’s very picky, and the woman there,” she raised her hand, her index finger pointing at me as she said, “was like one in a million for us.”“Darling?” I muttered, raising my eyebrows at Kione.Her lips curved into a sexy smile, intertwining her fingers with Gen’s, and she announced, “We’re official.”“Huh?” I gazed at Gen stupidly.“What?” Gen widened her eyes and smirked at me. “Can’t I choose whom I want?” She made a bold move, moving her head closer to Kione and claiming her lips.I was sure it was not only me who was gawking at them as they French kissed.
