Today was Bonnie's favorite day at work. CCA's weekly show and tell. Every associate came in and discussed their cases, to gloat, mourn or brainstorm. It was a field day for fledgling mage for hire. Charmaine stood at the front of the conference room going over the facts of the Vegara case as it stood. Bonnie was taking notes furiously as all the associates chimed in with their thoughts.
"We've followed all the regular leads, but look what he has given us to work with. The picture of his girls is at least 10 years old." Ari said throwing her pen at her notepad. She and Winston had spent a lot of time at clubs in the city trying to find the pair. "I still say our best bet is surveillance on the Don or the Peruvian."
"Me and Winston have interviewed both the Don and the Peruvian several times. My money is on Donovan. He's smart enough to keep them hidden and charming enough to lie his ass off." Charmaine said glancing at Bonnie.
"We've scouted all the Don's properties also. If he's got them stashed it's someplace not on the books. My gut is saying there is more to this then Vegara is letting on," Winston said leaning back in his chair.
"How so?" Jalisa asked twirling her dark burgundy locks around her fingers. The santera was new to the firm like Bonnie and was still playing catch up. It made the green eyed witch feel better about being the new kid on the block.
"Frankie what's with the lamp again?" Winston asked. Dark onyx eyes peered through a mop of black curls. Everyone watched as their hacker's hands flew over the keyboards. Surveillance photos and government documents flashed on the screen.
"Vegara was in London to procure a brass lamp. Interpol had a sting set up on the seller. Somehow the Tehrani Family got involved. Vegara was taken, and so was the lamp, right under the agency's noses. I can pull up the operation footage and case files." Francesco told them.
"Bonnie, tell us who the Tehrani's are." Charmaine said taking a swig of her cappuccino.
"Tehrani vampires are the second oldest family of vampires in the world. They hail from Persia, and have taken over the Middle East spurring conflict to hide their ferocious appetites and violent reign. Sarai Tehrani is the head of the family and is approximately 930 years old. Their capital is in Egypt. No one knows who created the family, but legend says it was a djinn." Jalisa smiled at Bonnie. She remembered her days as the company's walking Wikipedia. She was glad Bonnie was here.
"What does this lamp, the Tehrani Family and a genie have to do with two missing succubae in New Orleans. The hive was in the Philippines. They left there and came straight to NOLA." Ari said frustrated with what should be an easy scrying case.
"It's connected. Isn't Pisa Solial in town? He worked for the Tehrani's for years." Winston said glancing at Jalisa.
"Yeah, I'm tracking the sorcerer for McGregor. Turns out he's Allegra Huang's side piece." Jalisa confirmed.
"The Don's Allegra?" Bonnie asked looking up from her notes. Damn it. She said she wasn't calling Matt that. Something was pulling together in Bonnie's brain.
"Yes." Charmaine answered her brow raised.
"Do we have intel on Solial? Pictures?" Bonnie asked. Jalisa nodded turning to Francesco. The hacker had the suspect's picture on the screen before Bonnie had turned from his handsome face. The Samoan. Damn it, Matt.
-o0o-
Bonnie climbed the stairs to her third floor apartment bone tired. What a hellish day it had been. Facing off with the Don turned out to be tricky as hell. As a friend, she had called Matt to warn him, but he laughed it off. God, she hoped their friendship could withstand this. They had been through a lot together but they were always on the same side, until today.
Bonnie paused in front of her door. Someone was inside. Her ward magic let her know quickly that she wouldn't need to stake anyone, but she was scared just the same. She hadn't seen Kol or Stefan in a few days. Work kept her pretty busy. She was however considerate enough to call to let them know that she had not run away again.
She reached for the knob and pushed the door open. The scent of Italian food wafted over to her. Stefan stood in her tiny kitchen chopping something green and leafy on a cutting board that wasn't in her kitchen this morning when she left, and Kol was stretched out on the small couch that came with her furnished apartment.
"I must say, darling. This hovel is beneath you. I think I'm going to have bruises when I get up off this cot." Kol said flipping through the channels on her borrowed TV. Bonnie's weariness melted away. They were here. In her space, when she really could use someone, when she really needed them.
"What's with the face?" Stefan said stirring some herbs into a pot.
"I don't know. You're both here. You're making dinner. I thought. I thought I would never have this again." Bonnie said putting down her bag.
"I told you long ago your stuck with me. I meant it. And the ripper, well, he's a bit of a stalker." Bonnie smiled shaking her head. She walked over to Kol and kissed him on the lips. Once, the original released her and her ass, she walked over to Stefan and did the same.
"What are you cooking? It smells delicious." She said peering into the pot. Stefan held up a spoon and fed her some sauce. "Mmm," she murmured. A little dribbled on her chin, and the vampire quickly kissed it off.
"Gnocchi. It's almost done." Stefan said winking. He recognized the heated look in her eyes.
"Well I'm going to change." Bonnie said pulling off her suit jacket, and kicking her pumps towards the closet. "Not that I'm complaining, but what are you guys doing here? I could have met you somewhere." She said from her small bathroom.
"We're here to celebrate. We heard you solved your first case." Stefan called to her. Bonnie came back out into the studio. Instead of her usual sweats and t-shirt she made and effort and slipped into black leggings and a sweater. Stefan and Kol were organizing the plates on the table.
"Is Matt mad?" Bonnie asked sitting down in one of the four chairs. Kol shook his head.
"Donovan? Are you kidding? My friend is beside himself." Kol said mixing the salad on his plate.
"Tati and Lina were becoming a nuisance. He was tired of cleaning up bodies. I would have given it two more days before he asked me to take care of his problem." Kol said matter-of-factly. Bonnie looked up from the pasta Stefan was spooning on her plate.
"Oh relax, Kitten. I would have compelled them to go somewhere else. I only kill my brother's goons." Kol said biting into his food. Bonnie ignored his last comment and focused on the fact the he had just called her kitten. Stefan rubbed her hand, knowing what she was thinking.
"So that's their names, Tati and Lina. I was calling them the Ebony Venus and Blonde Aphrodite." Stefan's brow knitted together in amusement.
"So tell us how you solved the case." He prodded, sipping from his wine glass.
"Well, It kind of just came together. I knew Matt had a brass lamp, and was hanging around with Pisa. Then I remembered two women, one dark and one light, both insanely beautiful, living at you're haunted mansion. On closer inspection of their childhood photos, I knew it was Vegara's kids. Matt was in the center of it all. Winston and Ari caught the ladies coming out of the manor while me and Charmaine questioned Matt at the bar." Stefan nodded.
"So CCA is going after Matt?" Stefan asked looking at Kol. Kol wasn't thrilled about Bonnie's new job working for the Death Rider. It was going to be an issue down the line, but everyone knew that. It was something they had all unconsciously agreed to deal with when a problem arose.
"No. We were hired to return the succubae, not bust Matt. I can't believe he got mixed up in all that." Bonnie said thinking of the sweetheart she grew up with. Kol and Stefan eyed each other. She needs to know the truth. She needs to understand whom she's dealing with. Kol sighed.
"What you don't know, Kitten, is Donovan planned the whole sodding thing. He's a criminal mastermind, you know. He's bloody brilliant. Not the blood bag you remember from Mystic Falls. I nourished his gift, but he's even surpassed my expectations. He found a way to lift a magical lamp from the Tehrani's all from his office at the Green Eyed Witch. He recruited Allegra's boyfriend. Then the bloke held Vegara shielding him magically to save him from the vampires. He had to make it look like he was dead. Everyone still thinks one of the Tehrani's were responsible." Kol said looking into his moss colored eyes. He needed her to understand.
"Matt Donovan did that. He's not evil but he's not a cuddly puppy either." Kol declared stealing Stefan's roll. The vampire pursed his lips, and then got up to get more from the tray on the counter. Bonnie was considering what Kol was trying to tell her. Her mouth pulled downward.
"Before you think the worst. When Tati and Lina showed up in the quarter. Matt felt sorry for them. He had orchestrated the destruction of their hive. The Peruvian smuggled them in and wanted to use them as high-class call girls. The idiot didn't know they were succubae. They ended up killing one third of his men in defense. The greedy son of bitch was not happy, and put out a hit. Donovan protected them. He asked could they use the house as a hideout since we weren't using it. He knew everyone would be sniffing around all his properties."
Bonnie understood. Matt had a code, but was a criminal all the same. She was relieved to discover Tati and Lina were Matt's associates, although she's sure Stefan had slept with them. At least it wasn't what she thought when she visited the Garden District mansion.
"Why aren't you using the house? I mean it's creepy and scary but it could be beautiful. If you were just going to stay at the loft, why did you buy it?" Bonnie said biting into a tomato. Kol looked to Stefan who had developed a fascination with his plate.
"Ripper." Kol said forking pasta.
"I brought the house for us" Stefan said ignoring Kol's smug look. Kol cleared his throat. After a moment Stefan admitted," I brought it for you." Bonnie's mouth fell open. "You seemed to really like Lucy and Cass's place. You kept talking about wanting your own home. So I brought it, hoping that you would want to share that home with us." Stefan said drinking wine. Bonnie was speechless, and deeply touched.
"Yes, he's a blubbering idiot." Kol scoffed. Stefan narrowed his eyes at the original.
Am I? Stefan thought.
"Don't let Kol fool you, Bonnie. He paid for a third of it when I didn't have all the cash right away. To this day he has never asked for his money back. Even though he knows I have it." Stefan said smirking. Kol rolled his eyes.
"I knew you weren't going anywhere. You can't take two steps without me." Kol fired back.
You're right. I can't and I don't want to, neither do you. Stefan thought.
I mostly keep you around for blood. Kol teased. Bonnie just sat silently enjoying their subtle form of foreplay. Shit, it was turning her on.
"He also thinks I don't know about the jewelry. I found the set when we were unpacking at the loft." Stefan said smiling at the original.
Bonnie looked over to a reddening Kol. It was the first time she had ever seen him the slightest bit embarrassed.
"Tell her. Tell her about the necklace and earrings you had forged from antique silver to match her mother's ring. The stones are that exact shade of blue." Stefan said raising her hand. "It's really stunning." Bonnie stared at Kol, awed.
Kol sighed shaking his head. "Tell me again why I tolerate you." Stefan smirked. You know why.
"I've been waiting for my ring for two years so-" Stefan said finishing his dinner.
"It's nothing. I had them made the day you said you we're leaving. I thought… maybe. Stefan and me have matching rings. There all spell protected. There kind of like-" Kol said searching for the right words.
"A family crest. He made a family crest for our family." Stefan cut in, leaning back into the chair. He was enjoying Kol's expression.
"I may have gone overboard. I was a bit of a nutter those last few days. It's probably too much right now. I mean you haven't said you were staying officially. You might decide Riverside has better books or whatever." Kol stumbled.
You do know she loves you right. I love you. Stefan sent to assuage Kol's insecurities. Seconds later, Bonnie confirmed Stefan's efforts.
"I turned in my intent for Tulane a week ago. I accepted a position at Clermont and Associates as a junior associate this morning, and I want to see our house and family crests, after dinner."
-o0o-
Bonnie chopped jalapenos to throw in the cornbread batter. Matt had just left. Her, Jalisa, and the smuggler had spent the day at the farmer's market. She shouldn't have been surprised Matt had a booth there selling rare and expensive spices. Kol was right. Matt was more grateful than pissed about his recent run in with CCA, but she noticed he never talked business around her anymore. She also noticed the looks he and Charmaine were giving each other. Her boss was twenty years Matt's senior, but Bonnie was positive the Don and Death Rider were going to have sex. She just hoped it wouldn't end in a supernatural turf war.
Stefan walked into the kitchen covered in lavender paint. He walked over to Bonnie and kissed her. "Hello, beautiful Bonnie. Where have you been all day?" He said going through the mail on the counter.
"I went to stock our kitchen with food. As much as I love the New Orleans nightlife, I thought it would be nice to eat home once in a while. Besides I'm tired of hearing Kol's bitching about morning bagel runs to the quarter. You would think he could find a bagel shop in the Garden District."
"I heard that," floated down from the ceiling. Both Bonnie and Stefan looked up, amused.
"Are you guys done painting the master bathroom? I'm ready to go shopping for accessories." Bonnie said excited about remodeling the haunted mansion. When it was finished the boys were going to name it Bennett Manor. Their idea not hers, but she wasn't going to argue.
"Almost. Kol's doing the trim work now. Did you see this? It's from Caroline and Tyler." Stefan said tearing into the envelope. Bonnie peeped over the vampire's shoulder. They were travelling together. It probably was a postcard.
"Oh My God! They eloped, and didn't even tell me?" Bonnie said snatching the picture of them in Hawaii. Caroline was sporting a giant diamond on her finger. "Is the phone on yet?" The witch said eager.
Kol walked into the kitchen. "No, because someone forgot to call the phone company again."
"Do you have your cell?" Bonnie said looking between them. "Mine's upstairs. Also I need Internet, Bae. I start classes in a week, and I need to be able to access CCA from home without running up my cellphone bill. Can you please call the phone company tomorrow?" Stefan handed Bonnie his phone, nodding. He went over to the simmering pot and spooned chili in his mouth. He offered Kol some who let the vampire slide the spoon between his lips.
"Oh she knows what she's doing. It's going straight to voicemail." Bonnie said frustrated. "Caroline, I'm going to kill you. Why didn't you tell me? Call me. You can get off the D long enough to call. I love you. Congratulations."
"Congrats." Stefan said into the phone leaning near Bonnie. Bonnie hung up and looked at the photo of her friend again. Caroline and Tyler had found their happily ever after. She looked up at the two men in the kitchen with her. Stefan was pulling down bowls and handing them to Kol who set them around the table. He then went to the fridge and pulled out three beers, which the original opened, while Stefan dug spoons out of boxes. They were a team. Her team. Her family. The antique silver rings on all of their fingers said so.
"Is supper ready? I've been working away for you all day. I've worked up an appetite." Kol said pulling her into his arms gently scraping her neck with his teeth.
"I just need to bake the cornbread and we can eat."
"Good, because I'm beat. I'm ready to go to bed." Stefan said yawning. Bonnie and Kol eyed each other. Bonnie started laughing.
"Ripper, your just anxious to try out your snooty California King Bed." Kol teased. Bonnie shook her head sliding the pan in the oven.
"What? It's three of us. As much as I love you guys. It can get a little crowded." Stefan said taking a sip of beer.
"I agree, but did it have to cost $16,000. I mean, I liked the one from Turner's furniture." Bonnie said trying not to laugh at the faces Kol was making.
"Trust me, tonight you'll be thanking me." Stefan defended.
-o0o-
When Bonnie came out of the bathroom, Kol was pressed into Stefan's side his lips pressed to his neck. The witch was immediately aroused especially when spotting the raging hard on between Stefan's legs. She didn't even think before she was crawling over the bed, tight ass in the air. She stroked the ripper as Kol drunk languidly from him, prolonging the vampire's bliss.
Bonnie dipped her head, flicking her tongue across the tip of his penis, and listened as the vampire hissed. She stroked him a bit more, her tongue licking the length of him, and then she swallowed him, joining her mate in pleasuring him. One hand lowered to massage Stefan's scrotum. The other hand roamed over Kol's body until it too was wrapped around the original's throbbing cock. She sucked and stroked until both men were spilling into her mouth and hand.
Kol pulled the witch on top of him, his cock springing back to life when she was against him. Bonnie guided the original inside of her, riding him slowly. She rocked enjoying the feel of him inside of her. She bounced until Stefan was coming out of his stupor.
The vampire reached over and started kneading her breast. Before long he was sitting up rubbing and smacking her ass as she rode Kol's cock. Bonnie was nearing the edge when Stefan started slicking himself up. He was still rubbing her round tight ass. She came in shudders when his wet finger touched her ass whole.
Kol flipped her on her side, and continued pumping into her. She felt so good now that her come was coating his dick. Stefan rubbed the tip of his cock against her ass, teasing the witch. The witch came again when he slowly pressed inside her. Bonnie was in her favorite place, smushed in between two monsters as they moved slowly and delicately, filling her.
Bonnie was overcome with feeling. Deliciousness rocked her whole body. Kol and Stefan were blissed out, high on blood, and experiencing Bonnie and the way each other felt inside her. As Bonnie quaked between them for the third time, both men fell over the cliff, and fell to pieces. The witch was satiated and tired. She fell into her dreams longing for her sublime reality.
-o0o-
Bonnie sat into the small classroom, waiting for the first lecture of her graduate career to start. She watched as four students bounded into the room taking their seats. They were obviously older, and already knew the lay of the land pretty well at Tulane.
A violet headed woman from the foursome looked around at the other five students. She was dressed in black, a crucifix sat at her neck. Bonnie detected power, but nothing significant.
"Let's see. What do we have here? What's your name?" The woman pointed to a large black man at the end of the table.
"Simon." He said quietly. Bonnie huffed. This chick was pretty obnoxious.
"What's your specialty, Simon? Sorcery? Witchcraft? You actually look like a werecat." The man's eyes popped open. Okay, so the showoff was psychic.
"You princess are minor fae. My guess is a sprite." She said to a thin Native American Woman.
"Hmm…you're human and have no idea what's going on." The medium continued. "You sir are a dragon, congrats on that. Too bad you control weather. Boring." The auburn headed man blinked at her. "Now you are a hard read." The woman said peering at Bonnie. The woman's friends laughed turning to the witch.
"What's your name darling, Betty…no wait." She said her fingers actually touching her temples. Bonnie was in a living cliché.
"It's Bonnie. Bonnie Bennett." Bonnie answered, she was barely impressed. One of the foursome gasped. Simon almost choked on his coffee drink.
"You're the Green Eyed Witch." Simon stuttered. Okay he was from New Orleans, Bonnie thought.
"No, she's the Daughter of Abigail." Another of the foursome spoke up.
"Wait, you're the witch that put down Silas, and desiccated Klaus. You know the Bourbon Street Don." The psychic said as Bonnie looked around the room as people stared at her.
"Yeah, I guess. I'm mostly just Bonnie though, avid reader, amateur chef, and Sims Gamer." Bonnie said with a smile to her cohort. They looked unconvinced. "No for real, underneath it all, I'm a woman." Bonnie finished when the professor walked in. Everyone turned his or her attention to the board except the violet haired girl who smiled genuinely at the witch.
Well done little one, Qetsiyah whispered from beyond the grave. Though you will always be a daughter of mine.
Thank you for coming on this journey with me. I hope you enjoyed. Let me know what you think. :-)
