I had to have things out with Kate and I had to have them out now! I was going to be starting all this crap with my family and I didn't want these hostilities with her hanging over my head as well. I went down to her room. I wanted this to be private for both of our sakes

"Knock knock"

"Come In" She sounded happy. Maybe this was going to be easier than I thought "Oh it's you!" Then again, maybe not!

"Kate I was hoping that we could talk"

"I don't think that there is anything to talk about"

"Really, because I think that we have plenty to talk about"

"Oh yeah, like what?"

"Well the fact that a few weeks ago you seemed to be really excited about where Josef and I were heading and then the minute that we are actually in a relationship you do a complete turnaround and tell me that I am being an idiot"

"You are an idiot. Like it is going to work out!"

"It already is working out. If you failed to notice I am living with him!"

"We all live with him"

"You know what I mean Kate!"

"Is that all you wanted?"

"No that isn't all that I wanted. I want to work this out Kate. I want to know what your damn problem is! Are you jealous? Is it because you and your family have been here longer and you think that it should be you and not me?"

"You would think that, wouldn't you?"

"Then tell me Kate what am I supposed to think, because you are acting jealous to me!"

"THAT'S BECAUSE I AM!"

"I don't understand"

She paced in front of me for a minute seeming to have some kind of argument with herself.

"SHIT!! I am not jealous of you with Josef. I am jealous of Josef with you!"

You could have knocked me over with a feather. I sat in there in stunned silence. I had absolutely no idea that she was gay. She always seemed so interested in guys at the clubs, not once had I seen her even give a second glance to another woman.

"I...Me...You" I was flabbergasted

"You're disgusted with me!" she said to me with her head down

"What? No I would never be disgusted Kate, you have just taken me by complete surprise"

"I think I took myself by surprise"

"You mean you never...?"

"I think that I always knew, I mean I had to right? Sometimes I thought it was just because I was around so many women, but that was probably just me trying to delude myself. When I found out how far you and Josef had gone, everything hit me like a tonne of bricks"

"I don't know what to say"

"You don't have to say anything. I do have to say that I am sorry. I should have never been like that, it's just that you are the one person I thought would accept me for who I am and maybe even return some feelings"

"Of course I accept you Kate, there never has to be a question about that and I do love you...but as a sister"

"I think that I always knew that which is probably why all this is so confusing and I have been lashing out at you"

"Maybe you should talk to someone"

"Like a shrink?"

"No, I was thinking about your family or other friends. I may not be the best person to give you perspective on this."

"You're probably right"

"You do know that if I ever decided to bat for the other team that you would be the first person that I call"

"I'd better be!" We both laughed

"Are we good now?"

"Yeah we are and I'm sorry"

"There's nothing to be sorry for"

"I am happy for you and wanted to celebrate your happiness with you, but jealousy is such a strong emotion"

"I wish you could have been there as well, but I am glad that you are here now"

"You two are really in love aren't you?"

"I think we are"

"Where did you guys take off to the other week? I truly thought that you had left or been kicked out"

"Josef took me to Hawaii. Just before my birthday we found out some stuff about my family and one of them was that my Grandmother was actually alive, so Josef took me to see her"

"Wow! What did you find out?"

"How long have you got?"

I spent quite a bit of time that day telling Kate everything that had gone on with my family, my time with Josef and just everything in general. We worked everything out between us as much as we could, but I knew that things were still going to be a little strained from now on. I guess that it wasn't everything, but it was the best that I could hope for.

oOo

I was walking through the house trying to think of something to do when I passed Louisa.

"Oh Anya I was looking for you. Josef wants to see you in his office"

"Ok thankyou"

I walked up to Josef's office and went straight in. Not only was there Josef, Robert and Karl, but also a bunch of other guys in very expensive suits. They held themselves like they were very important and nothing would phase them, but if you took a closer look at them, you would see that they were all sweating bullets. I could also see that Josef, Robert and Karl had pretty smug looks on their faces which meant they could hear the other guy's heartbeats and they were probably going a mile a minute.

"Ah Anya my love, there you are! Anya this is my legal team. Legal team, this is Anyetta Kekai and you will be representing her in this upcoming case"

We all sat with the lawyers going over everything that I knew of my family, as well as all the paperwork that Mr Standish had given me. I had received my inheritance and my trust fund, but had phoned him recently and asked for any relevant paperwork. He had it all sent to the house and had even offered to represent me, but I decided to go with Josef's team. I knew that they would be ruthless and that is exactly what I wanted. I wanted them to screw my Aunt and her shitty family to the wall.

To begin with they were going to try and be civil about it and try to settle it out of court, but I knew that wasn't going to work. Plan B was to dig up every last piece of dirt on my Aunt and her family and then drag it all through the courts. Truthfully I liked plan B better, but I would try to be civil in the beginning. The only thing I really didn't like was the fact that whatever happened I was going to have to go back to North Carolina. I had vowed once before that I would never go back there, but now it looked like I had absolutely no choice.

After the lawyers left, I stayed to talk to the others.

"You three enjoyed that didn't you?"

"I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about" Josef said with a very sly smile

"A bunch of big shot lawyers and they are all scared shitless of you. If they had sweat anymore, they would have turned into puddles!"

"They just know who is higher up on the food chain around here!"

"Oh and I am sure that you don't have any fun reminding them of that. I swear sometimes you lot act like a bunch of teenagers"

"You're one to talk!" Robert laughed as he walked out the door followed by Karl

I went and sat on Josef's desk in front of him

"Don't worry about him love, he's just jealous!" He smiled

I must have spaced out for a minute thinking about everything that I had just gone over with all the lawyers

"Hey what's the matter?"

"I just didn't think that I would ever have to go back there. Will you come with me?"

"Of course I will. Like I am going to let you go through this on your own. I am with you every step of the way"

"Any vamp friendly places in North Carolina?"

"I don't really know! Probably not, we may have to get a house for a while and have a freezer moved in. That would probably be a good idea anyway. We don't really have any idea how long we are going to be there"

I started cracking up laughing

"What's so funny?"

"Just a vampire living in Transylvania! Even if it is North Carolina it just sounds so cliché'"

"Maybe we should look for a big spooky house on a hill. Give the townsfolk something to talk about"

"Maybe they will come after us with flaming torches and pitch forks!"

"Won't be the first time"

"Really?"

"There are a lot of superstitious people out there love and I have stopped in some very small towns"

"People don't notice anymore?"

"Oh they notice, they have just become so jaded that they don't really care anymore"

"That's kind of depressing"

"Hey no thinking of that! Your life is difficult enough without thinking about the rest of the world and their problems"

"Speaking of difficult, I spoke to Kate today and we worked everything out"

"That's good. What was wrong?"

"Not my story to tell. She will tell everyone when she is ready. Things with us are probably going to be a little strained, but for the most part it's all good"

"Fair enough"

"I should let you get back to work. I've distracted you enough"

"You my love are a very welcome distraction, especially in this very tantalizing outfit"

There wasn't anything all that special about my outfit. I had worn a white flowing skirt that just reached my knees and a turquoise off the shoulder top. I also wore flat brown leather sandals that strapped up my leg and some brown leather and turquoise jewellery.

"This outfit?"

"Mmm Hmm. It makes everything so...Accessible"

He stood up between my legs and leaned over me a little

"How so?"

"Well you see this lovely top that you have on here makes your wonderfully delicious neck so very bare" he said as he gently licked down my neck causing me to shiver "And then your delicious neck travels down to your beautiful shoulders. See most people overlook the shoulders but they are one of my favourite parts of the body" he kissed, licked and caressed my shoulders.

"And why is that?"

"You see if I travel one way along these lovely shoulders then I will get to your arms" he kissed along my arm "To your wrist" he kissed my wrist and traced the tip of his tongue over the bite marks "To your hand" he kissed my hand and then turned it over and kissed my palm "Then lastly to your fingers" he gently kissed each one of my fingers. "But see there is another path that I can take from your shoulders and this happens to be my favourite"

"Oh I'm sure that it is"

"For me to show you this path though I think that we are going to have to remove this lovely top. Even though it does show your lovely shoulders, it actually gets in the way of this other path"

"We definitely can't have that now can we?"

He slipped my top off and threw it on the floor. "See now that is so much better. Now I can see this gorgeous soft skin between your shoulders and your breasts. This is also a very important part, because with just a small amount showing it can lead to some very naughty thoughts and we all love those naughty thoughts don't we?"

"Oh they definitely have their place!"

"Now if we keep following this path we reach your delicious breasts"

"Important?"

"Most definitely, but see these are covered and we can't have that. For you to truly understand my love of the shoulders and the paths that they lead to then we can't have anything in the way"

"Oh, I must truly understand!"

He flicked the clasp of my bra and it came undone. He then threw it over with shirt. "Now breasts are definitely one of the best creations ever. I personally believe that breasts are like candy"

"Candy?" I giggled

"Yes candy! You see candy comes in many different shapes, sizes, colours and tastes just like breasts. Most people like all types of candy but have one certain favourite and again the same is to be said for breasts. This is definitely one of my favourite places along this path, because you my love are definitely my favourite type of candy"

He massaged and kneaded my breasts, pinching and twisting my nipples between his fingers. Just his simple touch was making me moan. His hands felt so good. He leaned forward and sucked on my left nipple, swirling his tongue around it, while he continued to massage my right breast. He licked a path from my left nipple to my right, stopping to trace his tongue over my love bite as well as kiss it tenderly.

"Is this where the path stops?"

"Oh no, definitely not! If I keep going down then I reach your smooth abdomen with your very ticklish ribs" he tickled my ribs to prove his point "And then down to your stomach, which I think is a great place for kissing especially your cute little navel here. Next we move to the hips, now like the shoulders the hips lead to a couple of very important paths, but I think that today I will only show you the really important one"

"If that's what you feel is best"

"Yes that's definitely what's best, but yet again we have something in the way"

I lifted myself up a little and he pulled down my skirt as well as my panties and threw them onto my ever growing pile of clothes. I was already so wet for him.

He got down on his knees "See this is where this particular path ends" he said as he ghosted his thumb over my folds. He blew a cool breeze on my wet centre causing me to shiver and goose bumps erupting all over my body. His tongue flicked out and swept over my folds. He was teasing, taunting!

"Josef, please"

"Please what my love?" He gently caressed his thumb over my clit

"Oh god Josef please, I need you!"

His tongue delved deep into my hot wet folds. I moaned and arched my back up off the desk. His tongue was deep inside me, moving in ways that I never thought possible. One hand was playing with my clit while the other reached up to massage my breast.

I was in ecstasy. My body was on euphoria overload. Everything was perfect.

His tongue pushed in deeper and he rubbed my clit just that little bit harder and I was done. Me and the world around me exploded in flashes of light. Sparks were flying everywhere like someone had let off a bunch of fireworks inside Josef's office.

In a split second Josef had stripped off all his clothes and sat down in his chair. I looked up at him and he crooked his finger motioning for me to go to him. I slipped off the desk thinking that I would be able to stand, but as soon as my feet touched the floor, my legs gave way. Thankfully Josef was quick enough to catch me.

"A little weak there are we?" he said with a smug smile

"You always make me weak in the knees!"

He sat back in his chair and I gently lowered myself onto him. Both of us letting out a soft moan. He held onto my hips while I held onto the back of the chair behind his head. We moved slowly at first, looking deep into each others eyes, kissing deeply. I began to feel that telltale pull in my stomach and had to speed up. I kept looking into Josef's eyes as I moved faster and harder. I felt his thrall pull me a little and knew that he was just as close as I was. I adjusted a little letting Josef go deeper. I slammed down on him hard, feeling him hit that exact right spot. I screamed out in ecstasy, my walls clamping down tight on Josef. He moved his mouth to my chest and bit down on my love bite. I threw my head back and screamed again as I felt him erupt inside me, my walls tightening again, milking everything out of him.

I collapsed against him, breathing heavily. He was carefully running his hands up and down my back.

"Oh yeah, I definitely love the shoulders!"

I giggled and then cracked up laughing "You are crazy!"

"And you're just figuring this out? Tsk tsk my dear Anya, I thought you were smarter than that!"

"Oh I always knew. It's just that now I love you for it"

"As I love you!"

We sat there for a while just being with each other, him still deep inside me. I was thinking about this and that and then giggled a little.

"What's so funny?"

"Just that we got to fully christen somewhere in this house other than the bedroom, without having Robert or anyone else walk in on us"

I swear sometimes I must be cursed, because as soon as I said that the door opened and Ryder came strolling in looking at some papers. For a vampire and a computer genius he is one of the most clueless people that I have ever met. Josef moved the seat forward so at least my ass was covered by the desk and my back was facing Ryder.

He didn't even actually look up until he got to the desk "Hey Josef I've got those...Shit sorry, I'm gone" Just as he got to the door Mick came past him. Ryder was stuttering and spluttering trying to get Mick to stop.

Thankfully Mick did notice things. He took one step into the room said "Whoa" turned and abruptly left.

I was mortified, but then got angry as I felt Josef chuckling underneath me.

"Please tell me that you are not laughing"

"I'm sorry baby, but that was funny" I glared at him "Ok so I will get one of those fancy locks that I can just push from my desk. You do have to admit, what are the odds of people walking in on us just after you said that?"

"With my luck it was probably inevitable!"
