"I had some day in class today," Eric told Vivi as they both undressed for bed.

"You did?" Vivi asked. "What happened?"

"I was teaching the history plays that Shakespeare wrote and of course no one was all that interested, so I decided to leave the room and come up with a new battle plan," Eric told her. "So I went out in the hallway and you know who I found skulking around outside my room?"

"Who?" Vivi asked.

"Your husband!" Eric cried. "You think he was looking for you?"

"I wouldn't doubt it," Vivi replied. "Did he hurt you? Cause if he did, I'd be more than happy to have a talk with him. Or just punch him in the face."

"No, actually, he was quite useful," Eric assured her. "I told him what I was teaching and he gave a much more engaging lecture on the plays than I could have. Why'd you let him get away? He's actually a very amusing man."

"Is he?" Vivi asked, eyebrow raised. "I never would have guessed." She paused and cleared her throat. "I'm glad you like him, but I'd be careful if I were you. He puts up a good front, but he's really very sneaky."

"Is that why you're here with me instead of with him?" Eric asked. "And when are you gonna tell me why you always go to bed with me but then call me from your husband's house in the morning? If you wanna be with him instead of with me, that's fine, but I think I deserve some honesty about it at least."

"Yes, you do," Vivi nodded. "And here's what's going on with that: I have werewolf blood, all right? And when you have werewolf blood, when it comes to your romantic life, you latch onto someone and you're not allowed to date other people, even if you want to. I could be as in love with you as could be and my stupid werewolf nature would still send me running back to King."

"Well, that makes me feel really good," Eric scoffed as he got into bed. "Why don't we just end this now? It might be easier for both of us."

"No, it wouldn't!" Vivi cried. "What if, somehow, I made it so I didn't sleep with him and just came home to you? Would that be okay?"

Eric's eyes widened. "You've been sleeping with him?" He cried, although he should have known.

"Yes," Vivi nodded, blushing a deep shade of red that clashed with her hair. "That's kind of the point. Animal nature, you know."

Eric gave her a long look and Vivi was sure that he was going to tell her to leave, but then he said, "I know this will probably make me seem like a fool, but…all right. As long as you don't sleep with King and come right back home in the morning, I suppose I can put up with this."

"Thank you!" Vivi cried and kissed him. "This means an awful lot to me, you know."

"Yeah," Eric nodded. "I figured as much."

Before she went to bed, she made a call to King who sounded sleepy and irritable when he picked up the phone. "What do you want?" He said. "I was sleeping."

"I know, and I'm sorry to wake you up, but…when I come to see you tonight, do everything you can so we don't have sex, okay?" Vivi requested. "I just explained to Eric what's going on between the two of us and he said that as long as I don't sleep with you, he understands what my werewolf nature is making me do and he'll deal with it."

"That's a lot to ask of the poor man, isn't it?" King asked. "You're kind of leading him on, Vivian. Don't you feel the least bit of shame?"

She heard this and that gave Vivi pause. Maybe what she was doing wasn't so good after all. She scoffed in amazement. The day King could successfully play the morality police had come upon them, and really, if she admitted it to herself, she was being selfish. So desperate to be away from King until exactly the right moment that she was making two guys miserable. And that wasn't like her. Or at least not like who she wanted to be.

"You still there, Vivian?" King asked. "Or can I go back to sleep?"

"Oh, no, I'm here," Vivi replied. "Sorry about that. See you later tonight."

"All right, bye, Vivian," King told her and then ended the call. She then went to bed, very curious about how she would find herself in the morning, or if King would even listen to her request at all.

When she woke up the next morning, she gasped in shock. It was very difficult for her to move and eventually she realized that somehow, she'd been restrained. For a moment, she felt the urge to yell because she was naked, but then King came in. "Good, you're back to normal," he said. "I think I can remove the restraints now." He snapped his fingers and whatever invisible force was holding her down was suddenly removed. She sat up, put a blanket around herself, and said, "You and I…we didn't do anything last night, did we?"

"No, because you said you didn't want to, so I didn't think it would be right," King replied. He was trying his best not to feel hurt or seem annoyed. "You thought I would ignore that, didn't you?"

"Well, I hoped you wouldn't," Vivi admitted. "Was I naked when I got here?"

"Yeah," King nodded. "You were, which was why restraining myself was so hard. But I did. You can go home to Eric now. Have a good day."

"That's it?" Vivi asked, feeling a little disappointed. "All you have to say to me is 'Go home to Eric and have a good day'?"

"Well, what do you want me to say?" King asked in exasperation as he pushed his blond hair out of his eyes. "Would you make up your mind? Do you wanna stay, or do you wanna go?"

"I don't know," Vivi shrugged and zapped some clothes on. "I think that's the problem."

"While you hash out what you want, you want me to bring you some breakfast?" King asked. "Or at least get you some blood? You probably don't get much of that at Eric's house."

"No," Vivi shook her head. "You're right. I don't. Thank you."

King nodded and turned to go, but then Vivi sped over, blocked the door, grabbed him and kissed him. He froze for a second, unsure of what to do, but then pulled her close against himself and kissed her back.

"I have to go back to Eric," She said as King kissed her neck and then reached around to undo her bra. "I-I promised him I wouldn't sleep with you, and I-I really think I should keep that promise."

"Oh, stop, Vivian," King replied. "Do you really think he's willing to put up with you running off at night for too much longer?"

"You make a good point," Vivi replied. "When he told me that he would keep our relationship going, it was said very reluctantly."

"Right," King nodded as he helped her off with her blouse. "So be honest with the guy, give him a break, and tell him you're ending things. He'll probably thank you."

"You know, you're right," Vivi replied and leaned in to kiss King again as she ran her hands over his bare chest. "But let's get this over with first. It's not good to stop in the middle."

"You know, you're right," King nodded. Soon, they were naked in bed together, their hands running over each other's hot skin as they kissed over and over. Then King ran his fingers through Vivi's long red hair and nibbled on her earlobe. She let out a moan and her legs parted, allowing King to enter her easily as her legs wrapped around his waist and she threw her arms around his neck, kissing him there gently, and then, to his surprise, giving him a little bite, and slowly licking the blood up.

When Eric finally called, they were on their break, and he seemed relieved when Vivi told him, "Sorry I was so late calling you. But I think it would be better for both of us if we broke things off now. Is that all right with you? Good. See you at school on Monday. Goodbye." Then she ended the call, took a deep breath, and turned to kiss King again.

"I wonder if my parents are any closer to getting back together yet?" Eva asked Sean that night as she mashed up her dinner with a fork.

"I don't know," Sean told her. "But if you're not gonna eat that, just give it to me. I put a lot of work in to it. Made it by hand and everything."

"Huh," Eva said and looked down at her lasagna. "When you say you made it by hand, does that mean you heated it in the microwave without using magic? Don't get me wrong: for someone who's had magic all their lives, it's a real accomplishment. But you didn't make this from scratch?"

"Well, no, but it's still good, right?" Sean asked before taking another bite.

"Yeah," Eva nodded. "I might ask Aunt Selina to teach me how to bake things in the oven sometime."

"Tell me when," Sean requested. "I want to prepare for any fires that might pop up."

"It's nice that you have so much faith in me." Eva said dryly.

"Oh, don't get me wrong," Sean said quickly, a smirk on his face. "I'm sure that for someone who's never baked before, whatever you do will be a real accomplishment."

Eva stuck her tongue out at him and then ate the rest of her dinner.

Then Eva's phone rang. "Hey, there," she greeted. "What's up?"

"Your dad and I are back together now," Vivi told her.

"What, really?" Eva asked. "Is this permanent? You're not gonna run off with anyone else are you, Mom?"

"No," Vivi told her. "Your father and I talked about this, and we decided that all I need to do is ask and he'll change his appearance. You know, that's something different without it actually being different."

"All right, I get it," Eva nodded. "I'm happy for you."

"How are you and Sean?" Vivi asked.

"We're good," Eva replied. "He made lasagna with the microwave."

"I hope you were nice and didn't tease him," Vivi told her.

"Well, he gave as good as he got," Eva replied. "You wanna celebrate the fact that you and Dad are back together sometime?"

"Sure," Vivi replied. "If it wouldn't throw you off any."

Eva then took the phone away from her ear and said, "My parents are back together. Would you mind if they came over for a celebratory dinner or something? It could help you with your cooking skills."

"Sure," Sean shrugged. "I don't mind." He picked up his and Eva's plates and put them in the kitchen, then waited in the living room for Eva to get off the phone.

When she put her arms around him and gave him a kiss, she had a smile on her face. "Are you happy your parents are together again."

"Yeah, baby," Eva nodded. "You better believe I am!" She then looked out the window and noticed the moon was high in the sky. "Come on," she said and pulled him to his feet. "Let's go swimming!"

"All right," Sean nodded as she pulled him after her. "But why don't you let me go and get my suit?"

"Oh, come on!" Eva grinned. "Where's the fun in that? Why would you even bother asking me that question?"

"I just thought I'd give it a shot," Sean replied. Then Eva zapped them outside, took off her clothes, and dove into the pool. When she resurfaced, she noticed that Sean was gone. Curious, she got out of the pool and began looking for him. Eventually, she gave up and was about to jump into the pool again when she felt someone shove her in with a loud splash. When she resurfaced, she saw Sean was laughing at her as he stripped off his clothes.

"You think you're so funny!" Eva glared as he came to join her.

"Yeah," he smiled and took her in his arms to kiss her. "Yeah, I do. It's a rare moment of levity on my part. Can't you just let me have it, Princess?"

"Oh, all right," Eva sighed and kissed him again. "You're just lucky I can't put you in a dungeon."

Sean then put his finger under her chin so she was looking him in the eye. "I love you. You know that, right?"

"I love you too," Eva replied. "You're my favorite." They then floated in each other's arms for a bit before going inside, taking a shower, and then having a couple of quickies before bed since they were already naked anyway.
