Chapter 26:

It was near noon when Bella finally woke. I stayed with her the entire time and my eyes opened as soon as I heard her first groan. Her face in the sunlight from the windows was crinkled as she struggled against the awareness of the pain she was waking up in. I cupped her face to watch her in concern and she groaned again and eventually her eyes fluttered open. She saw me there and a chuckle came out of her that made her wince and chuckle again.

"Hey," she said, and then cringed sharply. "Oh fuck. My tongue."

I couldn't help smiling. I had been worried all night but I could tell from these first moments that she was going to be fine. "Shh," I whispered to her. "The tiny cut on your tongue is the least of your worries. You're going to be very sore this morning."

"No shit," she said and then despite my advice she struggled to sit up. The bedcovers pooled in her lap, leaving her lacerated breasts exposed in the bright sunlight, and she winced again as she put a hand to her poor throbbing head.

"Fuck," she said. "I feel like I was…"

Her brain seemed too tired to be able to come up with a proper euphemism for her condition so I smiled and offered one myself.

"Gangbanged by hungry vampires?"

She nodded at that, eyes closed, hand in her hair. "Something like that."

I smiled and sat by her side in the bed and waited for her to recover a little. Her face was wrinkled in a subtle distaste of soreness and she looked like she really needed to wake up properly.

Eventually she opened her eyes and dropped her hand and squinted about at the sunlit bedchamber. Confusion crossed her face for the first time, as if she only just realized we weren't at home, and her confusion grew as she noticed the broken dresser with the shattered mirror.

"Jeez, what the hell happened?" she asked. "Are we still here?"

I wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "You don't remember?"

She shook her head, only briefly to avoid the pain. "Last thing I remember was you guys feeding from me. I must've passed out or something."

She said that last part with a chuckle, as if only remembering just now that last night was probably the greatest night of her life. I was greatly relieved to see that bit of brightness come into her sore and sleepy eyes but my concern for her came first.

"There was an incident when you passed out," I told her.

"What do you mean?"

"Kate lost control and attacked you," I said, lifting my hand to the gauze pad on her neck and touching it with my fingertips so she'd know it's there. "She almost killed you."

Bella snorted another chuckle. "Fuck," she said, as if she thought some kind of exclamation to her brush with death was required but didn't really care.

It was pretty much the reaction I had expected. The girl could be so unmindful of her safety sometimes. Perhaps she was too young to properly understand death. She seemed to think it would never happen to her and if I had my way it never would. Once she became a vampire I would ensure her immortality with my very last metaphorical breath if I had to.

She was squinting about the room again and I gave her a chiding smile at her cavalier attitude.

"That's all you have to say?" I asked.

She chuckled again and bought her exhausted eyes back to mine. "Vicky," she said. "I just woke up and my head is splitting and I can barely move and my vagina feels like it was roasted on a barbeque overnight. So if you're looking for me to give a shit if I'm alive or dead right now, I'm gonna have to disappoint you."

She was smiling as she said it, her bottom lip split and swollen, small dried cuts above her eye and on her cheek. I smiled at her and felt a swell of love that did manage to overpower the anxiety. Well, most of it. I cupped her swollen cheek and tilted my head at her.

"Are you okay?" I asked her softly.

She smiled again and this time it was less snarky and more genuine. Her eyes lit up again a little and she gave me a nod even with her sore head.

"I'm great," she said. "Really. It was fucking awesome."

She then leaned and placed a kiss on my lips. Just a gentle one so that I could feel the love and softness and that hard little bit of split tissue from when I had smacked her in the face last night. She held the kiss for a long moment and then she drew back.

"What about Kate?" she asked. "Is Kate okay?"

She was trying to get out of the bed and I watched with renewed concern.

"She was very upset," I said. "But I told them you'd be fine. I know my baby well enough to know that she'd never hold a grudge over something as trivial as almost being violently murdered in the middle of sex."

There was a subtle tone of sarcasm in my voice but she might've missed it as she winced and swung her naked legs over the side of the bed.

"Thanks," she said in a strained voice.

I quickly got out of the bed and offered her an arm to help her up. She snagged a glanced at my tits, smirking, and then winced in pain as she rose to her feet. The pain seemed to take her by surprise and she wobbled slightly on her legs as she squeezed her eyes shut and waited for it to pass.

"Holy crap," she said. "My pussy. I feel like I've been…"

Once again her brain failed to provide a creative euphemism. She frowned in concentration, gripping my arm for support, and then she just gestured with a hand.

"Fucked really hard, or something," she finished.

I chuckled and left her leaning against one of the bed pillars while I went to the broken dresser, tiptoeing around the shards of broken mirror. "Well, you did get fisted rather roughly, my dear. And that was only the beginning. But I must say, you handled yourself very well. Our hosts were very impressed, and I, of course, am very proud."

She chuckled from behind me. "Thanks."

I found some clothes and underwear for us in the top drawer, plain everyday attire, and then I turned back to Bella with the bundle in my arms.

"I don't think Tanya would mind if we borrowed a few things," I said. "I think we're all roughly a similar size."

She glanced again at my tits. "I wish."

I laughed proudly and offered an arm. She took it and together I helped her limp to the bathroom.

The bathroom was rather sparsely equipped for human needs but it had soap and a shower and that's all me and my love really needed right now. I hadn't showered at all last night and I still had smears of Bella's blood on my body. To my surprise I actually felt a glimmer of self-loathing as I washed those stains away. Bella may not have any regrets about last night but I did. Just a few. No matter how great it was, no matter how much fun, it was just too dangerous. Last night would have to be the last time we ever did anything that extreme. The risk was simply too great. Bella would have to be turned as soon as possible and from then on we would simply have to take out our more sadistic desires on our victims. They, at least, could be killed.

Bella winced under the warm water as I helped her wash and after a while some of the soreness and stiffness in her muscles began to leave her. I gave her a nice soapy massage, rubbing her shoulders, her waist, her chest, sometimes with my hands, sometimes with my breasts. Soon she was able to stand upright by herself even if every step felt like grinding glass in her vagina. I turned off the water in the shower and we got out, dripping onto the tiles. I dried her off with some towels I found on the rack and then I dried myself as well. Bella by now had realized she was really thirsty and she leaned to the sink and turned the tap on and drank from her cupped hands. The cabinet was empty of everything but a toothbrush and some toothpaste and we took turns brushing our teeth with the same brush. Vampire teeth don't decay but they could develop a pink stain from all the blood if you're not careful.

After that we got changed. Bella needed help to step into her panties and jeans and she winced in pain as she put on her bra. The jeans were a little long in the leg but they would do. I had found a pair of tan pants that fit me like a glove, quite tightly around my ass, and a beige sweater to match. The close bore the pleasant scent of our host, Tanya, and after donning them I found myself quite eager to find her and reassure her coven sisters about last night.

Bella was as well and together we went out into the corridor and limped down the stairs. She was still holding my arm but she was moving far more easily than when she had first staggered out of bed. We weren't sure where we would find any of our new friends but I could smell the aroma of coffee coming from the kitchen and I didn't think they were making it for themselves. Tanya and Kate were both waiting for us, Tanya by the large polished black espresso machine, Kate sitting on one of the stools at the counter, and Bella gave them a pained smile with her spilt lip as she limped forward at my side.

Kate was engulfed in shame at the sight of her and she immediately slipped off the stool.

"Bella," she said. "Oh god, I'm so sorry."

Bella chuckled it away and shook her head if it was nothing. "Don't worry about it. Vicky told me, it was just an accident."

The quick forgiveness seem to take Kate completely off guard. She looked at me, her mouth open but nothing coming out. I admit my feelings for the small blonde had cooled somewhat after she had almost killed my mate but she was very cute and very sorry and so I was gracious enough to give her a smile to let her know there would be no blood vendetta.

My smile then turned to Tanya and became more genuine. Her hair was gold and glowing in the sunlight streaming through the windows over the sink and it was so nice of her to make coffee for my darling Bella. She returned my smile and then she reached and switched off the coffeemachine.

"I heard the shower running and I took the liberty of preparing some coffee," she said. "Do you take sugar, Bella?"

"Yeah, um, thanks," Bella said, easing herself onto one of the stools at the counter painfully. Her face looked like she was sitting on a shallow spike.

"How many sugars?"

"Err, five?"

Tanya glanced over her shoulder, sugarspoon in hand. I gave the older woman a shrug. Bella's taste in coffee hadn't matured very much. In all the time I'd known her she'd hardly had it twice in the same way. Two sugars, three sugars, no sugar, white, black.

"Just black please," Bella added while Tanya spooned in the sugar before bringing the mug over and setting it down for her.

Bella took it in her hands and sipped and winced slightly. The liquid was likely very hot on her injured tongue. Kate by now was wracked with anxiety and since her apologies had little effect on Bella she spun to me instead.

"Victoria, I'm so sorry," she said. "I…"

But I shook my head and waved away further apologies with a smile. "It's fine, Kate, it's fine," I said. "Let's not let one unfortunate accident tarnish the memory of a marvellous evening together, hm?"

Kate was shocked and she chuckled. She couldn't believe how calm we were about the whole thing but it really shouldn't have been much of a surprise. All things considered we weren't really the most delicate women in the world.

Kate turned back to Bella and slid onto the stool beside her to examine her face. Bella sipped and gave her a smile. Kate's amber eyes were still full of concern but a bit of brightness had come into them as well as if she help couldn't admiring how tough the other girl was.

"Is she gonna be okay?" she asked me, still looking at Bella.

"She'll live," I said, coming around the counter to give Tanya a kiss on the cheek. I hadn't even greeted her yet. She accepted it with a smile and I turned back to the two girls and gave Bella a little glare. "Not that she seems particularly fussed about that."

Bella rolled her eyes with a snort. She was still really tired and her eyes weren't even fully open. Then she smiled and turned to Kate on the stool beside her.

"I'll be fine," she said.

Kate nodded but she didn't quite seem convinced. Bella's voice had come out a bit hoarse and there were several injuries very visible on her—the gauze on her neck, the cuts on her face—and several more which were not, like the injuries in her pants. Last night she'd had everything inside her from a fist to a knife and now here was sipping coffee with five sugars in it.

Kate was still struggling to comprehend it but she was warming up to it. She chuckled at the other girl's nonchalance and continued to apologize but in a less anxious manner.

"I really am so sorry, Bella," she said. "I ruined everything, didn't I?"

Bella chuckled and shook her head. "Of course not. It was wild."

Kate giggled at that and grinned widely. "You were insane," she said excitedly. "I couldn't believe half the things you did. No matter what we did to you, you just kept going and going. It was amazing. You were incredible. You made me do so many things I never thought I'd do."

Bella smiled with a smug little glitter in her eyes and sipped her coffee. I smiled as well. As much as I prided myself on my powers of corruption I think by now it was safe to say the pupil had surpassed her mistress. None of last night would've occurred had it not been for Bella's sheer irresistibleness.

Either way I was glad the awkwardness had been smoothed over so easily. Hopefully last night was only the first experience of many we'd all share together. Only next time hopefully it would be a victim less precious to me that we could butcher for real. Perhaps multiple victims, one each in a symphony of screams.

I glanced at Tanya with this thought in my head and Tanya glanced back. I wasn't sure when she would be ready for me to propose a true hunt but not this morning at any rate.

"Well, I suppose we ought to be going," I said. "Is Irena about? Before we leave, we'd like to thank her for the lovely night as well."

Kate had been grinning with Bella but now she looked up. "You're going?"

I laughed at the question. "Well, we're not moving in."

"But Bella can't go home like this," Kate objected with a newfound protectiveness over this girl who had forgiven her so graciously for almost tearing her throat open. "Look at her, she can hardly even sit down properly. She needs time to heal up. Tanya, can Bella stay with us for a few days? Just until she recovers? It'll be like a sleepover. She can stay in my room. She still wants to see my comic collection too, right Bella?"

Kate turned to Bella and nodded eagerly for her to agree. Bella seemed quite surprised by all that but kind of delighted too.

"Um, sure," she said.

Then both girls looked up at me for permission. Their eyes were round, like kittens, and I found myself chuckling nervously. I was surprised by the proposal as well but I suppose it made sense. Kate's accident seemed to have created a sort of bond there. Kate had already liked Bella but now she was also indebted to her and determined to make up for it.

I looked at Tanya to see what she thought and Tanya smiled in a certain way. Excitement in her eyes but slightly hidden, slightly veiled. It seemed she wasn't all that eager to get rid of us either although maybe her motivations were more to do with me than my beloved. Perhaps a bond had sprung up between Tanya and I as well. There were moments last night when being with her felt more right than anyone but Bella.

"Please?" Kate went on pleadingly. "Just for a few nights."

Tanya glanced at Kate and then back at me. She gave a smile and a shy sort of shrug. "You're certainly welcome," she said. "Both of you."

I chuckled awkwardly again. "Are you sure, Tanya? Humans are a lot of work to have around. Bella has certain requirements that I'm not sure your house is equipped for."

"We can buy food and stuff," Kate interjected. "I could even cook. It'll be fun. Right, Bella?"

Once again she appealed to Bella and Bella smiled and nodded and turned to me with the same pleading expression as Kate.

"Please, Vicky?"

I sighed at the two children at the counter there, one of them seventeen years old, the other upwards a thousand years old, and looked at Tanya. Tanya gave me a smile and she was clearly quite in favor.

"I think we can manage whatever Bella will require," she said. "In any case, she's not going to remain human for much longer, is she?"

"That's true," I admitted, still hesitant. I felt embarrassed and I was worried about being an imposition.

Tanya saw these anxieties in me and then she smiled and put her hands on my hips and boldly drew me a little closer to her.

"And let's be honest," she said, gazing into my eyes sexily. "I'm sure we all desire to see much more of each other. After last night there's no reason to stand on ceremony. I, for one, would eagerly welcome you in my bed for many nights to follow."

My heart gave a massive thump.

Me?

Oh boy. I couldn't help but notice she hadn't included Bella in that but perhaps that wasn't important. How come everyone was such a great seductress besides me lately? My throat tightened and I chuckled as I carefully detached Tanya's hands from my hips. Sparks crackled between us and my brain was quite confused for a moment.

"Well," I said.

Kate and Bella were grinning at me, Tanya was smiling. I cleared my throat, totally flustered, and decided to just go with it.

"Since you put it that way, Tanya my dear," I said to her, "I suppose I have no choice but to accept."

"Yay!" Kate cheered, throwing her arms around Bella.

Bella grimaced and hissed in pain, shrinking back from the embrace. Kate giggled and let go quickly.

"Sorry," she said. "I guess no more gangbangs for a while, huh?"

Bella nodded and that alone was a testament to how beat up she was. "I guess not," she said. "Even my tongue is fucked up. I never thought I'd be in such bad shape to the point where I couldn't even go down on a girl."

I smiled in sympathy at her. It was the first time I had ever heard her admit that she was in no condition to be fucked. The poor thing had truly been brutalized last night. I chuckled and turned to Tanya.

"Have you reconsidered yet, Tanya?" I asked her playfully. "Bella is obviously in no condition to indulge the true motives of your offer."

Tanya smirked and flickered her eyes at me. "Perhaps not, but you seem well enough."

I laughed at that noncommittally and didn't answer. My, my. If I didn't know better I'd say the woman was quite taken with me. The feeling was rather mutual of course and if she was truly eager to welcome me into her bed, well, I suppose I was equally eager to lick every crevasse of her body.

For now, however, there were other things to attend to.

"Well, if we're going to be staying here, we'll need some clothes," I said. "I'll run home and pack a few bags. Can I count on you ladies to take care of Bella while I'm gone?"

Kate giggled and wrapped her arms again around Bella. "Of course!"

The embrace was gentler this time and Bella was able to smile through the wince. I went over to her and leaned to kiss her head.

"I'll be back soon, my love," I said. "I want you to relax while I'm gone, okay? No strenuous activity of any kind."

She chuckled, knowing that what I really meant was for her to keep her legs closed, and I was surprised at how she nodded. Her poor little vagina must be truly sore.

I gave her another kiss in her hair and then I smiled at Kate and winked at Tanya before heading out.

The day was rather bright outside and it was almost an hour's drive back to our little house. A nice sunny Sunday afternoon. There was a smile on my face and my thoughts wandered very pleasantly as I drove. Bella and I were very fortunate to have stumbled across the Denali's. Their non-human diet was still something of a barrier between us but in some ways it was a good thing. Without that moral core and respect for human life I'm not sure if I would've been comfortable to share Bella with them at all. Perhaps the only reason Bella and I were so tempted in the first place was because of those yellow eyes and those harmless and wholesome stares of theirs. It would take months of feeding from humans before their eyes went red again but it would happen soon enough. Last night was only a taste. Soon they would begin to crave more. The idea of hunting in a party, with Bella as a vampire as well and even Carmen, almost made me giddy. It would take several victims to satisfy us all and we could abduct them and chain them up and pass their broken bodies around in a glorious orgy of blood and ecstasy.

I pulled up outside the house and sighed before I got out. I suppose this is something Bella and I would have to talk about. We had planned to head to England where we could live happily ever after, just the two of us, but that was before we met these Denali's. I'm sure neither Bella nor I were interested in any kind of actual poly relationship—we simply loved each other too much—but perhaps there was something to be said for coven-life and the occasional orgy. It would certainly be safer. But in any case there was no need to think about it right now so I got out the car and went inside.

I went directly upstairs and began to pack a couple suitcases and an overnight bag with things for Bella. I didn't know how long we would be staying at the mansion, nor how long she would remain human, but I packed some tampons as well along with her own toothbrush and hairbrush and a few other things. I ransacked our lingerie drawer too and in the end I packed most of its contents. Lace, garters, stockings, all colors. Bella would be up and on her feet in no time, after all, and I'm sure she'll be eager to get right back on her back again as soon as possible. Her vagina might take a while before it's properly operational but I'm sure her tongue will be useable soon enough. Her fingers were uninjured too.

While I stowed the suitcases and the overnight bag in the back of the car I considered calling our young landlady to let her know the house would be empty for a while but since it was Sunday afternoon I decided to knock on her door instead. I liked Leah and I could tell her about Kate too.

I stood in the sun on the steps that led up to her front door and after a while it opened to reveal Leah in jeanshorts which were more like jean panties and a skimpy black tanktop with a skull and crossbones. She was barefoot and her toenails were painted black. How cute. Her dark hair was rather wild and she looked like she hadn't been doing much but relaxing and lounging about. She was happy to see me and gave me a big smile.

"Hey, Vicky," she said. "Fuck, I thought you were my dad. Thank god for peep holes, huh? What's up?"

I was checking out her legs briefly, very long and tanned, and looked up to return her smile. "I just wanted to let you know that Bella and I will be staying with some friends for a few days."

"Thanks for the heads up," she said, and then she chuckled. "I'll hold on to your mail for you."

I smiled at that. I had a feeling she liked to intercept our mail anyway. She was holding the door open and now I stood on my toes to peer past her into the house. It was fairly dim inside and there was a subtle smell of marijuana coming from inside and from the girl herself. She was grinning at me and I realized she was just a little high. I chuckled and tossed my chin at the inside of her house.

"So this is your house?" I asked her.

She looked back at the house as if surprised it was there. "Yeah, wanna come in? I'm not busy or anything, I was just watching cartoons."

I entered, smiling at her, and she chuckled and closed the door.

The inside was of the house was identical to our won house aside from the furnishings. The kitchen was in the same place, a small area off the living room, and the stairs were in exactly the same place too, but there's where the similarities. She had no lights on the living room and the only illumination was from the cartoons large flatscreen. There were a pair of sneakers by the couch, that she had probably taken off to relax, and beside the sneakers sat a glass bong with a bowl that still smouldering gently.

I looked at it and then turned and arched a brow at my young landlady. She chuckled nervously and went over and shoved the bong under the couch with her foot quickly.

"Sorry about the mess," she was saying. "I have higher standards from my tenants than I have for myself."

The place was indeed quite messy. There was a half-eaten sandwich discarded on the coffee table and the coffeetable itself was cluttered with magazines and…

…comic books?

I wandered closer and saw that they were indeed comic books. Unless Vogue had shifted its focus from female fashion to grotesquely muscular men in blue tights. There was also a large notebook of drawing paper and a scatter of charcoal pencils. The notebook was open and showcased a fully shaded and rather impressive illustration of a woman in a black leather spysuit aiming a pistol.

Leah noticed what I was looking at and quickly closed the notebook before chuckling again nervously.

"Yeah, I draw a little," she said, waving a hand at the coffeetable as if the habit were to be excused somehow. Smoking weed was okay but drawing was embarrassing.

Naturally all this bought to mind Kate and how perfect her and Leah would be together but before I could broach the subject the other girl spoke again.

"So where are you and Bella going?" she asked. "Out of town?"

I shook my head and let my gaze wander a bit more through the dim living room. "No, no, just a few miles north of the city. Bella's there now, I only returned to pack a few bags for us."

"Oh yeah? What kind of friends are these? The orgy kind?"

She was grinning and I had to chuckle.

"Something like that," I said. "We spent the night, last night, and in the morning we thought…"

"…why not make it a week long sex-party instead?"

I chuckled again. "Something like that," I said again.

She snorted and shook her head, hands on her hips in her cutoff jeans, grinning at me in good natured envy with her slanted dark eyes just slightly stoned. "Wow," she said. "You guys sure know how to have a good time, huh? Meanwhile I'm sitting here watching cartoons and reading comic books."

She waved a hand again at the coffeetable and I was glad the conversation had swung back to it.

"Do you enjoy comic books?" I asked her, bending to pick one of them up and thumb through it.

"Sure," she said. "Why?"

"Because I was speaking to my friend about you and she adores comic books. She has an entire collection."

"Really? Wow."

"Her name's Kate. I think you'd really hit it off. She's blonde and pretty and very upbeat and funny. I bet you two could have a lot of fun together."

"Is this one of your orgy friends?"

I chuckled at both the question and the comic I was flipping through. Explosions, space craft, women in highly inappropriate combat gear singlehandedly taking on platoons of men with laser rifles. Well. It all seemed very interesting but not really my kind of thing. I closed the book and set it down again and looked at Leah.

"Yes, but you wouldn't hold that against her," I said. "Would you?"

She shrugged slightly, smiling and thinking about it. "Well, I guess I'm not looking for anything super serious, just a chick to hang out with."

"So shall I give her your number?"

She thought about it for a bit more, struggling at that crossroads between only bi-curious and fully bisexual, and finally she laughed and shook her head. "Yeah, sure, why not," she said, nodding and blushing shyly. "I already fuck chicks sometimes, might as well date one too. God, as if my dad didn't hate me enough. Now I gotta go date a chick as well."

I chuckled at her anxiety. The weed seemed to bring out a softer side in her. "Well, don't worry," I said. "Maybe Kate won't be interested."

She chuckled as well and then she cocked a thumb back at the kitchen. "Hey, can I you get you anything to drink? I got a couple beers." Then she smirked and added: "I got a little something more too if you're interested."

I smiled and demurred with a shake of my head. "No, I think I ought to be leaving."

"Aww, come on, just hang out for a bit. I'm so fucking bored."

She said that with an adorable little foot stomp, very out of character for her usual tough-girl demeanor. I looked at her for a moment in the dimness. At the liddedness of her slanted wolf eyes. At her long bare legs in her sexy jeanshorts. At the pale light from the television washing over her face.

"Well," I said. "Perhaps I could hang for just a bit."

She grinned and I bent to fetch the cigarette lighter from the coffeetable before retrieving the bong from under the couch. Vampire lungs could absorb marijuana chemicals just as effectively as a human and now I lit the lighter and touched the flame to the bowl and took a long toke.

She watched me excitedly and I blew the smoke toward her face as a nice haze settled into my head and then I took her by the nape of her neck and pulled her into a kiss. She chuckled into it, half surprised, half not, and kissed me back with wisps of smoke still escaping my mouth.

"This isn't what I meant by hang out," she moaned into my mouth. "But okay."

Giggling, we collapsed onto the couch and began to make out feverishly, stopping only to hit the bong occasionally. Soon her eyes were dilated and flat black, almost like a vampire in the throes of hunger, and she grinned as I lifted her tight little black tanktop and began to suck her nipples.

"Oh yeah," she was saying. "This is way better than cartoons."

I chuckled and rose up and pulled off my sweater in one motion.

I was wearing a bra underneath but she still grinned excitedly at my breasts. She took them in her hands and squeezed them out of their bracups and licked at them a little. I weaved my fingers into her hair and laughed and held her there, preening my tits into her face.

"Oh god," she said into my boobs. "Hey, I'll tell you what; rent's free this month, okay?

I released her head and smiled at her.

"I'm paid in advance for a full year," I said, and then I swooped to kiss her and unzip her jeanshorts.

It occurred to me while I was doing this that it was the first time I'd had sex without Bella since I had met Bella. Well, that wasn't completely true. There was that blonde girl in Port Angeles and that woman named Nicole I had found online. Those were a little different, though. Those were victims, feeding.

This was a little different but to my surprise I didn't feel an ounce of guilt or anxiety. Bella and I hadn't actually given each other verbal permission to fool around with other people but I knew she'd approve and if she were actually here she'd only want to join in. The thought of Bella actually encouraged me and caused me to moan and deepen the kiss so that I'd have a kinky sex story to tell Bella later on.

Leah's shorts were unzipped by now and we pulled them down a bit. She was reclining against the armrest with her legs as open as the jeans would allow and she grinned at me as I inserted a finger into her wet little pussy. Just the one finger to start with. I felt around inside her and then after a while I added a second finger and began pumping them slowly. She moaned at that, her face crumpling in pleasure, and began to rub her own clit.

"Fuck," she was saying. "Do another one. One more finger."

I laughed and pushed in three different fingers. Her vagina was very tight around them and very wet and she moaned low and deep as I began to pump them slowly. She was gazing at me with her stoned and lust filled eyes, mouth open, breathing deeply, her tanktop pushed up around her collar and her breasts exposed and heaving with every breath.

The orgasm was coming and she told me to keep going as she continued to rub her clit. I kept my fingers pumping nice and slow while she started rubbing faster and faster until finally she came with a sexy groan. She had been staring right at me when it happened and I smiled as the climax closed her eyes and rumpled her expression as her vagina spasmed tightly on my three fingers.

"Fuck," she wheezed. "Fuck."

I grinned and began tucking my breasts back into my bra before pulling my sweater back on. "Better than cartoons?"

"Fuck yeah," she said, and then she noticed I was getting dressed. "Hey, you're not going, are you? You can't just do me and expect me not to return the favor. Get over here, gimme that pussy."

She was clawing at my lap and I giggled and opened my legs to let her unbutton my pants.

"Very well," I said. "But I really am in a hurry."

Leah replied by tugging down my pants and panties and mashing her mouth to my vagina.

I laughed and squirmed delightfully on the couch as her tongue entered me. My head swung to the TV. There was a cartoon bunny eating a carrot before jumping into a hole and I laughed again. I had to admit it was a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Cartoons, weed, and a little lezzing out. It's just too bad I couldn't have bought Bella. Bella made everything better. But after last night it might even be days before she was comfortable enough to spread her legs.

I orgasmed fairly quickly and Leah seemed to like the taste of it. She licked it all up and munched me out a little more and then finally she stopped. I thanked her for the lovely time but she was still reluctant to let me go so I stayed for a little while longer and told her a bit more about Kate. She nodded at every detail and she seemed to grow very excited. I just hoped Kate would be interested. Leah was a wonderful young woman, weed habit and all, but Kate might have some reservations about getting involved with a human, especially after last night.

Finally it was time for me to go. I'd stayed almost an hour. Leah followed me to the door and let me out into the afternoon. The sky seemed exceptionally bright after the dim smokiness of Leah's girlcave.

"Don't forget to talk to your friend for me," she was saying. "I wish I knew where you met these people. I gotta get in on one of these orgies you're talking about."

I laughed and crossed the sidewalk to unlock the car. "I'll tell her to call you right away," I called back to Leah. "See you soon."

Leah tossed her chin from the doorway, smirking, and I returned it with a wink before getting into the car.

It was another hour before I got back to the mansion and by now I was quite anxious to see Bella again. I'm sure I had left her in quite caring hands but I never did like to leave her at all. Especially when she wasn't feeling well. She was a little bird with a broken wing. Or a hardcore slut with a broken vagina. Still, she needed her Vicky. I wondered if she was looking at Kate's comic collection the same way I had been looking at Leah's. The thought was oddly romantic. The two of us separated and yet connected by doing the exact same thing at the exact same time. Well, not exactly the same thing. Bella in her condition wasn't likely to be fingering Kate the way I fingered Leah.

I parked the car in the courtyard beyond the fountain and took the suitcases from the trunk and crossed the gravel with a spring in my step. This was going to be so much fun. Bella and I were going to get to know our new friends so well. Every sexy inch of them. It was so amazing of them to be so friendly and welcoming.

Well, all of them except for one.

I was just entering the mansion when I heard a familiar voice shouting with a hint of a Spanish accent.

"No! No! I refuse to have that woman in this house!"

Carmen and Tanya seemed to have been arguing in the foyer, arranged there under the chandelier with an air of theatrics like actresses on a stage. They both looked over at me as I came in, Carmen steaming with rage, Tanya a little embarrassed.

I set down my suitcases and smiled at them.

"Something the matter?" I asked politely.

Carmen scoffed and spun around in a flare of dark hair and stormed out.

I watched her go with raised brows. I had met many women in my life that needed to get laid but none more so than this wilful Spanish cold named Carmen. Hopefully I wouldn't keep her waiting too long. We were under the same roof now and I'm sure it was only a matter of time before Bella and I found a way to liberate her from her bonds of self-righteousness.

Tanya came over to me with an apologetic smile.

"Sorry about that," she said. "I usually understand my coven mates better than they understand themselves but Carmen's behaviour is truly a mystery to me."

I smirked and gave a chuckle. "Perhaps to herself as well."

"Perhaps," Tanya agreed with her own smile. "Nevertheless I hope she won't make your stay here too unpleasant. If she can't force herself to be civil I'll insist she not show her face at all."

"Oh, I'm sure none of us would want that. It's such a beautiful face."

Tanya smiled, grateful that I held no ill-will to her coven mate. I was very grateful as well. It showed exactly how much she liked and admired me by allowing me among her coven even when one of them disapproved so strongly.

Tanya and I were still looking at each other, smiling, and suddenly the moment was borderline romantic. Tanya seemed to realize at the same time I did and she quickly changed her focus to the suitcases on the floor.

"I'll have your things bought up to one of the guest bedrooms," she said. "Bella's upstairs with Kate. I'm sure you'll want to see her. It's the fourth door on the left."

She pointed up the stairs and I gave her a smile and a nod.

"Thank you, Tanya," I said and then I quickly went up.

The was an odd beat to my heart and I thought it was rather strange. There certainly was something peculiar between Tanya and I. I just hoped the other woman hadn't gotten the wrong idea. As much as I admired her, my heart would always belong to Bella. Absolutely and irrevocably. But I'm sure Tanya understood that. She had even given me directions to Bella before I had even asked. It was probably just a little crush she had on me or some kind of intense fascination. I was certainly one of a kind and something she had never seen before.

Pushing these thoughts away I continued down the corridor and opened the forth door on the left.

Bella and Kate froze.

They were sitting on the floor amid a pile of comic books and I had stumbled upon them mid-kiss and half naked. They looked like a pair of rabbits in the headlights. Kate's jeans were around her knees and Bella had three fingers buried inside Kate's vagina—the same amount I had used on Leah.

Well. What a coincidence.

They broke apart the kiss slowly with grins of guilt spreading across their mouths. I put my hands on my hips and sighed at them disapprovingly. It had only been two hours ago when Bella herself had admitted she was in no condition for sex. But I guess I should've known better. The girl was always ready for sex, nothing would ever stop her.

"I thought I told you nothing strenuous?" I said to them chidingly.

Bella and Kate looked at each other. Then they looked down at the finger's buried inside Kate. Then they looked up at me and shrugged in an identically cute fashion.

"It's just a couple fingers," they said at the same time.

I sighed at them again, like a weary mother, and then I closed the door and went over to help before Bella hurt herself even more.

AN: Bit of a transitional chapter, but lots of fluff and hinting at certain things. Remember to let me know what you thought, especially if there's something you don't agree with. That kind of feedback is just as important as knowing what you guys love. New chapter soon. :)
