Amaryllis's P.O.V
Everything has been working out wonderfully. I became friends with Felix, Artus, and Juana. The other one has yet to warm up to me. I've let the others inside countless times to play video games or watch T.V. Against Caius's wishes, Felix became another sparring partner. I felt bad that Caius and Aro gave a stern talking to him, but he didn't seem to mind. We have fought whenever he gets bored or I get anxious, so it's a lot. When I can use my abilities I mostly win, but when we are going in without abilities he mostly wins.
Artus was a 17th century Frenchman who still had a pretty thick accent. He told me a lot about the century he was born in, which was nice. Juana was a freaking badass. She was from 15th century Spain. Her thick black hair was cut short with jagged layers. Juana was 5 ft 4 or so and had features of a child. Despite that, she was sassy and fun. She recalled that in her human life she used to steal on the streets because she didn't want to be condemned as a house wife or prostitute. One day she stole from the wrong person who happened to be a vampire. He was surprised at her speed as a human so he turned her. When he saw that she wasn't much faster than other vampires, he left her to fend for herself. She was pretty fast and decently strong. After centuries of practice with the Volturi, even "mediocre vampires" as she called it, are a force to be reckoned with.
When it came to the Cullens, things were much better. Rosalie was still a no and Edward was eh, but the rest were totally fine. They were all happy to hear that things went so well with the three kings at least. Esme had called pretending to be my mother to tell the school that I was sick and Carlisle gave me a note to excuse me. It was awesome that they spared me the trouble of explaining to the school why I was gone. Alice and I went shopping a few times. Right before graduation we took Juana with and had a wonderful girl's night out. The family and I dueled each other a lot like we used too. It was so cool to see Emmett and Felix meet. Emmett got jealous that Felix was supposedly stronger, so they fought several rounds…Emmett lost every time while I sat on a rock laughing my ass off with a box of candy in my hand.
My relationship with Bella was back the way it used to be. She even put her foot down to Edward, telling him to back off and let me be friends with her. He would always stand around her to make sure I had no nasty evil plots up my sleeve, which of course meant that Felix had to present himself. It was like Bella and I were rich people or something with our own body guards. Overtime when seeing Bella, Edward would lighten up here and there with the sarcastic jokes Bella and I made, then he would interject to add in his own thoughts, and now he'll have full on conversations with us.
What has been the best though was my relationship with the kings. Throughout the day we would text- it was mainly about my day since theirs was full of catch up work and boredom- then we would facetime and talk for hours. To help with the separation, I would take pictures that had me in it and send them to the kings- no not dirty ones, although Caius did ask…
They always responded happily to photos of me either with friends or with my cats. On the day of my graduation, they gave me a book, a lot of roses, one potted amaryllis flower that resided in a whimsical and colorful teapot, and a painting of my two cats. All the presents were freaking amazing. The painting was the first work I ever saw from Caius and boy was he good.
It showed my cat's entangled with one another with Teddy Bear in mid lick of Space Junk's face. They looked so real- like if I touched it I would feel soft fur instead of paint. The only sign that it was just a painting, was how he handled the background. There were the millions of different kinds of blankets that I have on my bed, but you could see the strokes of the paint which all in all created movement. I balled my eyes out in happiness and made sure to thank their ears off that night. All they asked in return was for me to send them a lot of pictures from graduation.
Two weeks after they left, Aro had sent me several bound, hand written books with all of the information I asked for. The rules and customs he had written a long time ago, but updated it in English for my benefit, and then he wrote out all of the names and descriptions of our subordinates- even down to their specific likes and dislikes. It was heart-warming that he did all that for me, and I have made sure to study as much of it as I could and ask plenty of questions. I couldn't help noting that his handwriting was beautiful. Mine on the other hand looked like the work of a 3rd grader.
They left their wives the day after their arrival to Italy. Aro seemed to have zero problem with it, but Caius felt guilt. The wives left the castle, and Aro allowed Corin to go with. From the sounds of it they just threw the two women out on the streets which was terribly callus. They didn't tell me much more about the subject, but they did emphasize that they doubt any trouble would arise from either of the women. Aro said that on the miniscule chance they made a move, he would simply have them killed. That was hard to hear, but I was surprised that Caius had no problem with that ruling. They didn't let me dwell on it so I just let it be.
The newborns were taken care of a while ago. When we found out that it was Victoria the Cullen family made sure to tell Demetri. He tracked her down, killed her, then the group killed the rest. With the threat gone all that's been left to do has plan the wedding. Yep a wedding. Bella and Edward are getting married! What's more is I'm one of the bridesmaids! The downside is that although most of the family thought it would be okay to send an invitation to the three kings, Aro said that they wouldn't be able to attend. He did say that he appreciated that they were finally going to change Bella, and wished the happy couple the best in their endeavors. As much as that weighted down my heart, I did think it was for the best. The wedding day is all about Edward and Bella and seeing the kings there would cause unneeded stress for them.
I've been helping with whatever Alice needed up until today-the wedding day. We were getting everything set up and I created a lovely ice sculpture of Bella and Edward kissing to put on top of the table with the food. Then I was sentenced to getting primped by Alice in her room. I wore the same lavender color Rosalie and Alice did. Mine was a satin fabric that collected on my right hip into a flower. There was a slit that showed the bottom half of my right thigh to my ornate purple heels that were only a shade darker than my dress. The top part had two sets of straps- one pair that went around my neck and another pair that hung loose on my shoulders. The top wasn't cut low enough to see any cleavage, but it did hang decently on my curves. For my hair, Alice put it up in a fancy style, weaving lavender ribbon in the beautiful braids and then she curled the hair she left down that framed my face.
It wasn't often that I ever did a full face of makeup, so I was thankful that she was there to skillfully do it. It was a natural look that made me look even more like a doll. My already powdery skin was accentuated and she made my lips glossy. I looked very pretty, even if I wasn't wearing a color I particularly cared for. For some reason that constant longing I have felt since the king's departure has evaporated, but I chalked it up to me just being excited for Bella. Alice and Rosalie were done quickly, and then we all joined the bride to be. Her dress was elegant and simple, with a simple makeup, and done up hair. She was gorgeous. When we were ready, we made our way to the wedding ceremony. That's when I saw them.
They were in the crowd, looking absolutely stunning. Their eyes were already locked on me. Each held a dazzling smile. Aro's hair was done like the first time I saw him in the throne room- part of it was clipped while the rest flowed around his shoulders. Marcus's hair was tied up into a low ponytail, while Caius's hair hung loose to frame his face. Aro wore a white button up with a well fitted black vest. Marcus wore a midnight blue jacket and a white button up with a blue tie, and Caius wore a black suit and a white button up that wasn't done up all the way. Tears of joy threatened to ruin my makeup. Suddenly I felt a small push. Alice looked at me with a knowing smile.
"Go, it's your turn," her soft voice encouraged. As I walked down the aisle, I dedicated all of my thoughts to not tripping over myself. Don't look at them, don't look at them. When I took my place, I tried with all my might not to stare at the 3 most handsome men in the crowd. If I did, then I wouldn't take time to enjoy everything else going on because I'd be too busy ogling.
The wedding decorations were gorgeous. It was done on the Cullen's residence out in the woods. White flowers were everywhere and it was sunny and warm. The trees blocked the sun as it started to set so the vampires didn't have to worry much about direct sunlight. The benches were twisted made of twisted tree branches that created beautiful organic shapes (if I ever get the chance I might have Juana pull a heist with me to steal them). Everything was light and airy. This was so perfect for Bella.
As my friend and bride to be walked down the aisle, I nearly teared up- the whole time she was walking down the aisle she stared at Edward with such love in her eyes. The ceremony was sweet, but I didn't care for the hundreds of photos Alice had us do afterwards. I was not very photo genic, and felt horrible at the idea that I could've ruined the pictures. Along with that, after weeks of being away from my mates, I was anxious to see them. When we were finally released from the clutches of the photographer, we went to join the crowd around the house. Sunset was officially beginning so the vampires were safe. I saw the three kings talking with a couple other immortals. As I walked over their heads snapped in my direction.
When I reached them, we were all smiles. Marcus pulled me into a kiss and hug. I had to hold back the moan of content I felt. I missed them so much. Aro pulled me over and started planting lovely kisses all over my face and neck until I started giggling. Caius smirked and gave me a lingering kiss on the lips. Aro had his hand on the base of my back, while Caius wrapped an arm around my side.
"Ah, so this is the future queen," The strange man said. He and the other two bowed low in a sign of respect.
"Yes, she is. Now if you will excuse us, we haven't seen our mate in some time and would like to have a few moments with her. Please understand," Aro's elegant voice rang out softly.
"Oh, of course. It was a pleasure to see you again," the man smiled before guiding the others away.
"It is always a pleasure to see you as well, Latham," Aro smiled before immediately retuning his attention to me.
"Darling you are a vision. I couldn't keep my eyes off of you." Aro's hands were clasped in front of him- looking ready to burst with excitement. I too was slightly bouncing on my heels with joy. The sudden fullness and happiness was resonating in all four of us. As best as I could though, I held in my urge to jump, dance, holler, and laugh.
"Soooo, everyone knows now?" I asked them with a slight smile in my tone. Looking around, I noticed that every vampire there was staring at me.
"Word travels quickly about us. By now those in the darkest confines of the world are aware of who the new queen is," Marcus confirmed.
"We will discuss more on that matter later. For now, let's just enjoy the jewel that is today," Aro clapped, before kissing my cheek once again. I smiled, feeling a bit awkward that all the vampires know about us- about me.
"I thought you couldn't make it Aro," I placed my hands on my hips and jokingly looked at him with accusation.
"At first we thought it best not to attend, but our longing overwhelmed any previous notions we had," Aro responded. I could tell there was more to that story, but figured it would be best to ask later when there wasn't a huge group of humans around. I bit my lip in worry. I really hoped that Bella and the Cullen's were okay with the Volturi being here. With a kiss on my temple from Caius, that worried thought fluttered away.
"Oh how much I missed you. Every moment without you was like being ripped to shreds," he breathed into my ear while holding me close. Before backing away, he nuzzled himself in my hair and took a deep breath. Blushing, my heart beat started pounding.
I noticed that their eyes were pitch black which made me gulp with anticipation. The end of tonight was going to be a treat in itself. I saw a glimmer of white, which drew my attention to Bella and Edward walking our way. Bella gave me a large smile, before looking over the three men beside me. Her smile lessened, but not by much.
"Aro, Caius, Marcus," she greeted, "I'm happy you came. Amaryllis wouldn't stop talking about you." I gapped in embarrassment at her poking fun at me. She sounded genuinely happy that they were here though, which was nice.
The kings smirked, causing me to huff, before Aro responded. "Ah Isabella. I do hope that you are having a wonderful day. It irks me so that we started off so poorly and wish that we can continue from here on as dear friends." His graceful words must have been true since Edward softened just so. He offered a polite smile.
"I hope so." Edward looked at me with about as much care as he did before all the shit happened. Maybe he considered me a friend again? If so that would be cool, although I'd always take what he has to say with a grain of salt from here on out. He and Bella told us to enjoy the party and took their leave.
Suddenly I felt a strong hatred come from Caius. He wasn't looking at Bella and Edward though, but towards someone from the wolf pack. A low growl erupted from him, which made the boy turn his head from across the room. I think his name was Quil? He was muscular and lean with a pretty face. The only one I've talked too on friendship level was Jacob and Sam which is too bad because they all seemed to be amazing and fun loving. I quickly stepped in between them. The vampires looked on edge and the humans seemed confused. I put my hands on either side of his face and made him look at me.
"Darling calm down," I said soothingly. My hands started caressing his face as I kissed him on the lips. The anger mostly diminished and he held me against him in an animalistic protective manner. Those eyes that softened at me, quickly turned back into a glare and he looked to his brothers.
"They let mongrels in here," He snarled lowly. At that I got angry. I knew from Alice's reaction to Jacob that vampires hated wolves, but I never understood why. I mean technically my "parents" were vampire wolf hybrids so obviously our group does not care about the differences between the two creations. Aro and Marcus held distasteful looks in Quil's direction. I snapped my fingers to gain their attentions.
"Hey can you stop staring down at him? It's rude. He's putting up with your presence so why don't we just mind our own business, or even better, actually be decent to him." I had one hand on my hip and looked pointedly at all three. Caius still had me crushed against him with that permanent scowl on his face, but the other two nodded. Aro even got excited.
"It's ingenious to use mutts to help you. I wonder if I should do the same," he pondered allowed, but my glare prevented him from continuing down that path, "Although cute, that glare can be quite icy," he commented while gently grabbing my chin.
"They should be eradicated," Caius whispered venomously.
"Now, now Caius. They are not Children of the Moon, but merely shapeshifters. There is no reason to ruin this lovely little party by starting a fight. We will just half to ignore the smell of wet dog by burying ourselves in the scent of our mate." As he said this, he bent down to nuzzle against me while taking a deep breath.
"There, all better," Aro backed away with that smirk that made my legs turn to jelly. I gazed back up at Caius.
"Why do you hate them so much?" He side glanced at me and seemed to be contemplating on what to say. "I will tell you at another time," was all he said. Aro and Marcus were giving him looks, but Aro seemed pleasantly surprised at his response. I nodded and went to Marcus's side for a while.
We changed topic and we were all chatting quite happily, although I noticed Caius was still brooding a little. Regardless he would still give me smiles and part take in the conversation. Marcus had his arm around me while I leaned into him. When it was time to head towards the tables for the rest of the wedding, Marcus and Caius sat on either side of me while Aro sat across from me. It was odd- the looks that everyone gave us. I mean I get it. I'm 17 dating 3 guys and two of which look mid-30s. I honestly forgot about social rules at first. Granted I was at age of consent and I had graduated early, but the whole situation was still a lot to take in. Ah fuck it. In the next few months I'm going to be moving to Volterra anyways.
The speeches where a mixture of awkward and funny. I felt sever second hand embarrassment from Bella's mother's speech, but it was also resoundingly sweet. My heart was in my throat when it was my turn. I walked up to the center of the little stage and used my ability to force my heart to stop beating so fast.
"I've known Bella for a couple years now, and am grateful for every moment we spent together. Everything from fishing with your dad while you sat off to the side with permanent stank face, to binge watching vampire movies with a tub of ice cream on our laps, are now cherished memories," They all chuckled- the vampires did too with a knowing glint in their eyes, "During our time together I watched you fall for Edward. At first I thought it was just for the hair- because I mean that hair is life- but soon saw that it flowed much deeper than that. It is beautiful to witness the eternal love between you two. I wish you the best." I raised my glass to them and retreated back to the king's table. I was clapped for, which was encouraging.
"You are an excellent speaker," Aro complemented.
"Very fitting for a Queen." Caius spoke so quickly and softly that I hardly heard it.
"You were captivating," Marcus smiled. I blushed and shooed away their complements with my hands. When the dancing started to get into full swing, I grabbed Caius by the arm.
"Dance with me." He looked warily at fellow graduates who were dancing to the latest songs. I could tell this was not his scene. "I don't know any present time dances," he muttered. With a shrug I continued to pull him out of his seat. Once we we're on the dancefloor, I let the loud beats of the music take control of me. He looked like a fish out of water at first, but followed along soon after. Caius was a quick learner. Others faded away and it was just us. Our dance was fluid and sensual with sudden jerks and turns. We were both smirking while staring into each other's eyes. It was as if I was dancing with an untamed panther- so calculated and graceful, but can turn on you at any moment. I felt invigorated. When we finished, a bunch of humans nearby and Alice clapped and cheered. Caius's jacket was off somehow. Did I take it off? I blushed nervously and huddled to him- a smile still plastered on my face.
The dancing continued around us while Caius and I continued staring at one another.
"I love those eyes when they have that unhinged flare to them. I saw it when I first witnessed you fight and found myself craving for that gaze to land on me ever since," his hands on my hips made my body flush against him as he leaned closer, "There is an untamed quality to you that is so vexing yet enthralling," Now his lips rested against my ear, "Oh how I crave the idea of forcing you into submission." A low moan escaped my lips as I shivered. I've been anticipating having his hands on me since we last saw each other. He growled quietly then turned me around to get us back to the table where Aro and Marcus stared at me longingly.
Aro smirked and handed Caius's jacket to him. Caius promptly laid it over his lap while I sat down.
"It is frustrating how quickly she gets to me," He said so low only we at the table could hear. Aro and Marcus chuckled as my eyes widened. Oh.
"Well, you three get to me instantly. I mean come on! Getting me all flustered like this at a wedding," I pouted while crossing my arms.
"At least for you it is easy to hide," Caius bit back. I couldn't help but laugh. We talked about everything and nothing in particular until a slow song came on. Aro swiftly got up and stood in front of me with his arm bent in front of him.
"May I?" He asked. I smiled and took his arm to be escorted back to the dancefloor. He positioned us and started the waltz.
"I'm very hazy on how to do this," I warned much to his amusement. "You danced exquisitely earlier, I'm sure you'll do fine. Just follow my lead." I blushed and made sure to watch our feet here and there. I felt so relaxed here with him which I found odd. He was such an enigma to me.
Unlike Caius, who is very brazen, and Marcus who never seemed to care enough to lie, Aro lies as easily as it is for me to breathe. I noticed that recently with me, he has been more straight forward in showing his emotions. I guess it's because he knows that I can feel whenever he is frustrated so he thought there was no point in putting up the mask. Oh the smile was there still most of the time, but his voice will drop and that edge of anger is prominent whenever he was upset at something. Still, the rate at which he flits through emotions is staggering. It gives me whiplash- especially since I can feel it. I never know what will set him off. I knew from the start that there was insanity behind those beautiful milky red eyes, but since I've gotten closer to him it has started to get overwhelming. He was a wonderful manipulator that always gets what he desires. It was intimidating but I didn't find myself deterred. The insanity behind the calm surface was a beautiful feature as odd as it was. I could sort of relate to that…
His motions were stunning and his eyes never left me. I dared myself to stare into them to try and figure out what he was thinking. At that I laughed, which made him tilt his head.
"What is it darling?"
"I was just thinking about how much I wished I could see all your thoughts. Dear God I'm turning into you," I shook my head.
"Zeus strike me down if there ever be two Aros," Caius commented at the table. We heard him over the noise and laughed together.
Aro kissed me and I rested my head against his chest. I took in a deep breath. He smelled so good. If I could bathe myself in their scents I would. It was so unique- like nothing I have ever smelled before. It's like trying to describe some of those really amazing perfumes labeled things like 'seduction' that doesn't remind you of anything. If they had cologne titles Aro would be 'Panty Dropper,' Caius would be 'Untamed Sex,' and Marcus would be 'Orgasm' (gotta pick sex version of the titles since that's what colognes and perfumes do). I chuckled again. Thank God Aro can't read my thoughts.
With the next song, Marcus took Aro's place. The song was now fast paced, but we continued with a slow and melodic dance. Time turned to molasses around us as we stared into one another. There was such love in his eyes, I felt like I was being embraced by its warmth. It was three songs in when we finally stopped. My stomach rumbled, so I went to go grab some of the foods at the table. Noticing the ice sculpture was melted a bit, I did a quick re-freeze.
"So how do you like my ice sculpture?" I asked while sitting back down by Marcus. His hand snaked around my waist giving me comfort.
"It is stunning," Caius complemented while Aro nodded. I squinted my eyes at him.
"You can tell me if there is something wrong with it. I like your critiques. They help me greatly."
"I have no complaints. It is done at a professional's level." I looked off wistfully and shrugged.
"It's much easier for me to use water as a medium since it's like an extra limb." He nodded while Carlisle and Esme went over to our table. Aro stood up excitedly to shake Carlisle's hand. Caius frowned and made no efforts for greetings while Marcus gave them a small smile.
"My dearest friend Carlisle and his wife Esme. It is such a pleasure to see you," Aro said with glee, "Please sit." Carlisle grabbed a couple nearby chairs and we all sat together.
"I am pleased that you were able to make it," Carlisle said with a gleaming smile.
"We are happy to be here. Thank you for inviting us and for keeping our young flower safe. You have a wonderful family Carlisle and this wedding is exquisite," Aro complemented.
"Thank you, and it was no trouble protecting her. I heard that not only is she going to be our future Queen, but that she will also hold power." Carlisle looked over to me and Esme reached to grab my hand on the table, "You will be a wonderful Queen," Esme said with a warm smile. Carlisle nodded. "I think she is just what you and your clan needed. Just know that our family has been supporting this decision openly to everyone and that I will gladly do what I can to help." There was an underline promise just underneath his words. He was saying he'll help against the whiplash that is sure to happen from irate vampires.
"Thank you Carlisle. We will need all the help we can get and I am pleased that I can count on your clan's support," Aro's smile seemed genuine. They continued talking about past things in a friendly fashion. Marcus, Caius, and I stayed silent on the sidelines. I gently nudged Marcus and gave Caius a little look before getting up.
"Well I'm going to let you too catch up with each other."
"Would you like company darling," Marcus asked. I nodded and both Marcus and Caius got up and we left them to it. We had our own little conversation until we saw Aro gliding towards us. I remember the first time I saw how Alice moved where it was like a dance. Aro was like that. So skillful and elegant that it was hard to look away. He returned to my side and kissed my cheek. After Bella and Edward left for their honeymoon, I helped with clean up. At first the kings just had the guards emerge from the forest to help while they watched, but Caius broke down and started helping me himself. We said our goodbyes and I got in my car to head back home. Marcus joined me up front while Aro and Caius sat in back. I could tell by their disdainful faces they were judging my car. Marcus didn't seem to care though.
"Don't even think about insulting my car. He may be a grumpy old man, but I still love him," I looked in the mirror at them when I said this. Aro raised his hands in mock defense.
"I wouldn't dream of slighting your….lovely car," He said. That stuck up richy. I chuckled and shook my head. When we reached home, Caius got out and picked me up into his arms with a smirk on his face. I laughed while he walked casually into my house towards my bed- it was as if we had just gotten married or something. Right before entering my room, Caius turned towards his brothers.
"She is mine tonight. If it gets too much for you to handle than leave until tomorrow." My insides got a little queasy with anticipation. The fire in his eyes were devouring me whole.
"Make sure you don't tire her out before we have had our turn tomorrow," Aro joked with a promise in his gaze at me. Caius only smirked before going in my room. He put me down on the bed. Gently, he picked up the cats on my covers and moved them to the family room before returning to shut and lock my door. There was a wild look in his eyes as he slowly approached- like a predator about to pounce on their prey.
"I have fantasized about this for so long," he muttered. Just after his words he pinned me on the bed and started making out with me. His kiss was forceful and demanding, but I fought back with as much vigor as I could muster. We started removing each other's clothes hurriedly while not breaking contact with our mouths. When we were both naked he roughly pushed me down on the bed to examine me.
"I've been wanting to rip that dress of you all night," He smiled before moving to kiss my body all over. He paid special attention to my breasts while slowly inching his hand downwards towards my mound. Caius moved his lips up towards my neck as his fingers roughly circled on my clit. The feeling made my body convulse and shiver. I arched into his touches, finding myself craving more.
"Caius," I moaned out in absolute bliss. Caius moved to position himself at my entrance and slipped in. I've missed feeling the fullness of them.
"Bel fiore (beautiful flower) you are so tight and hot," Caius moaned out. He started at a fast and unforgiving pace- our moans bounced off the walls.
"Caius!" I came forcefully while he continued to pound me. My body became sensitive and I became hyper aware of everything he was doing to me. As he came to his first orgasm, he forcefully grabbed my hair and pulled my head back so he could bite into my neck. Afterwards we continued on. During the fourth time he tied my hands behind my back and moved me so I was on my stomach. His hand continued to grab painfully at my hair as he went at me like a frenzied animal. Occasionally his other hand would dig his fingers into my body to the point of drawing blood. I knew this was intentional. It caused me to yelp and moan as he kept going.
He then pulled my head back painfully.
"Tell me who you belong too," he growled.
"You!" I cried. His growl increased and he nearly broke my arm in anger.
"Scream it out human," he yelled. I shivered and screamed at the top of my lungs that I was his. His pounding increased.
"Say my name," he ordered.
"Caius!"
"Again," He shouted. I started to repeat his name like a mantra as I came. As soon as he felt me convulse, he came. We rode out the climax together and then he released me- letting me drop to the bed. He untied my hands and looked me over. I was spent. It must be early morning now, and I had an exhausting day.
"Get yourself some coffee and something to eat. I am far from finished with you." His hard tone offered no room for disagreements. I got up and moved to grab some clothes, which only made him growl.
"No clothes. I want them to see what I have done to you." I blushed. My wounds were healing, but the most recent bruises still littered my skin. I wondered what Aro and Marcus would do in retaliation. The idea made me shudder. I walked out to see the other two kings staring at me like I was their only salvation. There was an evil smile from Caius as he trailed behind me. 'How come he gets to wear pants?' I thought sassily.
Still shaking, I barely managed to get some coffee and a snack for energy.
"Eat out here," Caius commanded right as I was about to sit down in the kitchen. I stepped out and sat down on the couch. Their eyes never left me as I ate. Goosebumps rose on my flushed skin and I blushed.
"I hope we weren't too loud," Caius smirked. Aro opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out at first. Then he diverted his attention from me to his smug brother.
"So this is your way of getting back at us. We may have tortured you by filling your head with our memories with her, but this is too far." I was surprised that it was Marcus who spoke. His eyes were still staring me up and down. Cautiously I got up and returned to the kitchen.
"So what do plan to do with her now?" Aro asked- regaining his composure.
"I wanted to try out that mouth of hers to see how Marcus's comments compare," I gulped, which they heard even though I was at the sink. Caius chuckled.
"Yes, I can't wait to try that out as well," Aro mentioned achingly.
"I can't wait to try out that pert ass of hers," Marcus seductively added. My mouth hung open while I let out a shaky breath. Caius growled.
"Amaryllis come here." As much as I felt rooted into the floor, I was able to get my jelly legs to move me to the family room. Caius turned me around in the middle of the room so my back showed to them. His cold hand gently moved from my neck to my ass. He grabbed and massaged it thoroughly.
"Have you ever had a man in here," he questioned while grazing my hole.
"N…no," I stuttered.
"Hmm, I guess I won't this time then. We will have to take it in small steps." Caius turned me back around and led me back to the room. Once he had me caged back up in there, he led me to the bed and forced me down to my knees in between his legs.
"You know what to do." I looked up bashfully while undoing his pants. His long member stood fully erect. I was painfully aware of how much my body was aching to have him inside me. I licked him up to the tip and felt his dick twitch in response. I then started. He moaned and muttered things in a language I didn't understand. His hand found a way into my hair and he started moving my head. Unlike Marcus, Caius was very conscious of my needs to you know…breathe.
"Your mouth feels so good," Caius groaned while pushing my head further in. I felt his legs twitch and he started pounding himself into me until he came. I didn't have much time to recover afterwards before moved so he was on top of me again on the bed. This went on for hours. When the sunlight peaked through the windows, the door broke open to reveal the other two kings. Caius had us at the foot of the bed, my hair in his grip as he thrusted from behind. I looked back at them blushing, but Caius seemed so lost in the pleasure that he didn't seem to notice or care. He tugged on my hair so I couldn't look at them.
"Caius, you've sated yourself with her all night. It is our turn," Aro's dark tone rang. Caius growled as he picked up the pace. When he came this time he bit into my shoulder. The pain made me cry out in pleasure and cum with him. As Caius backed away I turned around to stare at them. I know I looked like a mess- my hair was tangled, I was panting, and everywhere seemed to be soaked with cum and blood. But I wanted more. Sleeping was the last thing on my mind. Caius took a step towards me.
"Do you see the way she is looking at us? She obviously wants more," He growled out. My legs clenched together and I bit my lip while I sat in front of their dissecting stares. Caius was the only one at his normal maroon coloring. Aro and Marcus's eyes where black pits of need. They looked like starved animals, near death, that finally found a tasty treat.
Marcus flitted in front of me and pulled my body up for a kiss. A split moment later, I felt Aro's wondering hands from behind me. I whimpered when they both growled at me. Aro grabbed my hips and pulled me back to enter me while Marcus filled my mouth with himself. The whole morning was spent in different positions. My body was shaking violently from the pleasure that just never stopped. My head was full of their dirty words. I loved when they started speaking in different tongues. When they stopped, Aro held me closely until my body came down from its high.
"It takes all of our strength to withhold ourselves from continuing," he sighed, "Being with you is simply heaven. Plunging myself into your heat is just…perfection. I can't get enough of it. I want to bury into you and steal all your warmth," my cheeks burned hot at the admittance. I was at a loss for words. We laid there for a while, before I got up to shower. We all cleaned off and I went to make myself a cup of coffee. I was about to make lunch when Caius snatched the pan away.
"Sit," He ordered briskly. I gulped and felt myself flush as I complied. Aro took over and made me the food I requested. Marcus sat next to me and put my legs on his lap. Everyone was content and relaxed. I was wearing loose short shorts with an elastic band and a tank top, while they all wore button ups and slacks. I liked that this was their version of dressing down. Marcus's hands caressed my legs softly- only using the tips of his fingers to dance on my skin. It felt amazing.
"So, are you guy gonna swap notes about when we are together every time?" I asked with a lazy grin.
"Most likely. I get to see every memory they have, which always ends up leaving one of the other two out of the loop. It tends to create jealousy. Why, would you like your personal time with us to be more private?"
I shook my head at Aro's question. He smiled and continued.
"Good. It should be for your benefit that we do this. For example, it is thanks to Marcus's mistake that we now know to be careful about your needs." I don't think my cheeks will ever pale when I'm around these damn Greek gods. I kinda choked on my words until I resorted to humming with a nod.
"I can't wait to see everything that happened last night…" Aro's seductive voice muttered, "…but I shall wait, for I fear I might drag you back to the bed otherwise." I shivered and I felt my body pulse at the ready for another round. Jeez vagina, will you never quit? Aro came over with the food and sat down. As I ate, he spoke up again.
"Well now that we got our pent up needs mostly out of our system, let us talk about other matters. Everyone now knows about you being our true mate. This of course means that you now have the largest target on your back. If they successfully murder you, and I shudder at the very thought, they will have defeated our clan. The death of you wouldn't ruin just one but all of three of us. What's worse is that they view you as some weak human. Although our guards have been open about the strength you wield, any vampire that had not personally witnessed your power will not believe in it. You… are well aware of vampire's general regard to humans. This means that there will be many who will try to assassinate you," they gave each other quick glances,
"I must urge you to please finish things up here and move to the castle. We will be leaving most of our best guards with you, but we still worry. Although most will not outright try to attack you, Carlisle has had many run in with vampires who were at the very least curious about your power. This goes along with the rebellions that are sure to be forming. There are plenty who have been waiting for any weaknesses to emerge, and this is it. They will not squander this perceived chance at power." They waited for my response and seemed to be gearing for the worst.
"Alright, I'll try and be out of here in two weeks." Collectively their eyes widened.
"You mean it il mio angelo perfetto (my perfect angel)?" Aro asked with such hope in his voice. I nodded.
"Yes. I would like to get everything settled in and then use Demetri's ability to find my daughter and the group. If most vampires know of my location, it is a guarantee that my enemies will. I'm living on borrowed time now. Now, let's focus on what to do about the rebellions." Aro seemed to barely be able to contain his joy. I guess they were expecting me to ask for more time.
"I will handle it," Caius said with a level voice, "It will be enjoyable to wage war again."
"I kinda figured. I was thinking though, that you should use me in battles as well." Caius's eyes narrowed but I lifted my hand to halt him from speaking. "Now hear me out. Aro mentioned that these vampires do not currently believe in my power. Well, just like in needing to prove to everyone first hand that I can be a leader, the only way to show that I am not someone to be trifled with is by showing off my power first hand. When you saw me fight, that was not even touching the surface of what I can do." Caius opened his mouth but I shushed him.
"That is not the only reason you need me on the battle field. There is a much more pressing concern at hand. My enemies will assuredly join the ranks of any rebellions that arise. I'm….not exactly sure how powerful they are now, but they are things you have never witnessed before." I shook my head. An onslaught of bloody memories flooded my mind. "I will not get into it now, but they are dangerous. You will need someone who has had experience with them before. I will stay back for the most part during these battles I promise." Caius looked pissed that the other two where even considering the proposition.
"She would be safe so long as she's by your side dear brother," Aro added, "You would not want to feel the pains of longing while on the battle field either." Caius growled.
"I will consider it," he looked away clearly unhappy. Silence settled around us.
"Earlier, when you said that there were problems with coming to the wedding, what did you mean?" I asked Aro. He grabbed my empty plate to put it away.
"As much as we wanted to leave and see you, it was a dangerous move. Not only did yesterday show others that we have softened for you, but it also brings an increase for an attack on us- whether it be here or at the castle. We need to try and look as rigid and powerful as possible right now, but we just…couldn't stay away." I went over and pulled Aro into a long kiss. His hands instantly wrapped around me to keep me against him. I ended the kiss so I could breathe.
"I'm sorry I'm causing so much trouble," I muttered against his chest. Aro nuzzled against my neck started purring. It was so relaxing- he was melting me like butter.
"Do not fret my lovely mate," he kissed me repeatedly all over my head and neck until I smiled, "You are a blessing to us, and we will do everything in our power to have you by our side. I have never felt such joy," he backed away just enough so he could lift my chin. We stared into each other's eyes.
"We will push past this. I believe you fighting alongside Caius is an excellent idea. They will soon see that you are a powerful force to be reckoned with. Once the battles die down and we have re-solidified our rule, we will have the rest of eternity to enjoy each other." I sighed at his reassurance and nuzzled my face against the cool of his hand.
"I can't wait to be alongside you every day," I blushed at my words and just how much I meant them. Aro became very giddy.
"Yes, and I am so excited that you agreed to move to Italy so soon!"
"We thought we would have to argue on this so I am pleased that you are willing. It is a relief to avoid those deathly glares you make," Caius added. I could feel the happiness radiating off of him.
"What? You're scared of my death glares? Have you ever looked in a mirror Caius?" I raised an eyebrow at him when he smirked.
"Marcus and I are used to that look he has. You on the other hand are a terrifying matter- which is odd because it is also extremely adorable to see you upset." My mouth fell in a grim line as I stared Aro down. I'm supposed to just be scary when I'm angry, not cute. He chuckled.
"Ah there it is. That anger that is so delectable." I smirked and shook my head. The rest of the day was spent enjoying our time together with snuggling, but it was also used to make plans for the near future. It was irksome that my group really gave me no means for connection- but it made sense since if I got kidnapped the enemy would be able to find out everything I knew. I wasn't too concerned on this end because as a group we have hunted down people before, and thanks to Demetri things are a lot easier. We were going to find them and inform them of the move. Since I was out of high school things were really easy on that end. I would use the two weeks to say goodbye to my friends here and start packing.
I was tempted to try and challenge Caius to a duel, especially since I think it would help him make a decision about me attending in battle, but was too comfortable in our snuggling to bring it up. Towards the end of the day the kings geared up to leave again. As our bonds have continued to solidify, it just continues to get more difficult to see them leave. It was comforting though that the date was set for us to take the next step. They left with excitement buzzing around them. I smiled wistfully as they went. Aro ordered that Demetri stay to help with hunting down my friends, along with a handful of higher ranking guards. Loneliness kicked in and I really didn't want to stay in the house alone.
"Anyone want to come in for a bit?" Felix and Juana seemed to know that it was what I needed so they quickly obliged. Before Felix went in, he put a hand on Demetri's shoulder.
"Our future Queen is going to be awesome. You should come in and get to know her. Careful though- we don't want you falling for her like you do with every woman you glance at," Felix chuckled and Demetri glared. The front that Demetri had around the kings dropped and he smiled at Felix's words. He went over and bowed to me. I put my hand on his shoulder, signifying that he could stand, and then we went inside. Demetri was already sort of familiar with video games, so we three played the night away. He told me that a couple of the guards that the kings sent were previously charged with protecting the ex-queens so I was defiantly in good hands. At around midnight, the lack of sleep from before really kicked in so I went to bed. This was going to be a long two weeks.
