Impressions of Three Men in Black - A Poly!Volturi Kings tale
Chapter Eighteen
It takes one to become four
Celeste has made her decision to join the ranks of the vampires and their coven in one week.
*I did research on whom Aro had changed to vampires himself. Not much info out there. So the ones I list are the only ones I found info on. Alert for mate smut.*
oooooooooooooooooooo
Celeste asked Aro to leave so she could shower and dress. She also asked if they could use the ante-room of his chambers for the meeting with her mates, to discuss her future. It was not only comfortable, it just seemed appropriate.
Aro agreed and gave her a kiss, then left her room to go speak with Marcus and Caius. At last, he thought, everything was working out. All Celeste had to do now was set the date for her transformation.
Celeste dreaded this talk with her mates. The decision she felt she was not really free to make, had to made and now. There would be two elephants in the room. When and by whom. The when would be easier to decide, but Celeste wanted a bit more time to be human. The who would be harder. After her nightmare, she had decided having all three bite her was not as desirable as it initially seemed. Different venom from three different vampires. Even they didn't know what might happen, or if it would make any difference at all. She knew they'd agree if that was what she wanted. If she gave them her final decision to have only one of them initiate the change, whom would she choose.
During the entire shower, she thought about the options. Aro, who would want the job, if she knew her vampires. Caius seemed the most volatile, but in fact, he was in more control than she thought from her first impressions. Marcus would be the best choice for his patience, and, she imagined, his willingness to explain everything first.
While brushing her hair, Celeste was looking into the bathroom mirror. She set the brush down and brought her hand up to her face. She was blessed with good skin, but tried to imagine it as flawless and pale. Her eye colour would alter to vampire red, but thankfully, fangs would not be part of her physical change. Having watched a few vampire films, she did find them sexy but seemingly impractical. How did one talk with them. Celeste knew that her teeth would become razor-sharp, able to easily rend human flesh. Celeste shook her head, forcing herself from her reverie.
She missed her favourite cologne and could have asked her mates to buy her some, but she was aware of how much they preferred her natural scent. After putting on some lip stain, Celeste left her room to follow the corridor she knew would take her to Aro's rooms. She knocked on the heavy wooden door and pushed it open. Inside, she saw Aro, Marcus, and Caius sitting in the ante-room, waiting for her.
"Cara, come in, come in," Aro said, rising to welcome her with a kiss on her lips. He took her hand and led her to the couch to sit beside him. "We're so happy you've decided to tell us your desires at last."
Celeste smiled at each of her handsome mates. A woman would be lucky to find even one man such as these Volturi. And she had three. She could only hope sharing her would never be a problem. She just had to remain firm and remind them this was her life, even if the rules were theirs.
"So, Celeste, what have you decided," Caius asked from his place on the chair near the window.
Celeste watched wide-eyed when she saw the sunlight illuminating Caius's skin, causing it to sparkle. How beautiful they all were. It was almost mesmerizing to watch. She cleared her throat, saying, "As I see it, we have three things to consider. Whether I say yes or no. I have no choice but to say yes. I agree to accept the change."
"Perfetto," Marcus, murmured. "As it must be."
"Exactly, so that's done. Next, I have to decide who gets to do the deed. And lastly, when the deed is to be done."
All three vampires glanced at each other and then focused on Celeste. "And your decision," Aro asked, his unblinking eyes never leaving her face.
Celeste felt almost spellbound by his intense gaze. But no, she wasn't going to let him take control of this meeting or her. "Marcus, how many humans have you changed?"
Surprised by the question, Marcus looked at Celeste. "Why, none, my dear."
"And Caius?"
"I tend to kill things, Celeste, not give them immortality," the blonde vampire replied with a smirk.
She smiled, despite her reservations about his response. At least he was being honest. Caius was her one mate who readily admitted he enjoyed killing.
"Aro, what about you?" She knew he had changed at least some of his coven members.
"There were my sister, Didyme and my mate, Sulpicia. Later, I changed Felix, Chelsea, and finally Jane and Alec."
"So quite a few." It was decided then. "With no offence to you, Marcus, or you, Caius, I'd prefer Aro to be the one to change me. He is the more experienced, and I need to know nothing can go wrong."
Aro lowered his head, a subdued but triumphant smile on his face. He, and not his brothers, would have the honour of bringing their mate over into their world. "I think you've made the correct decision, my dear."
"Of course you'd feel that way, brother," Caius protested.
Marcus gave Celeste a small nod of his head. He would not say anything against this, but knew Caius wouldn't like it.
Celeste expected Caius' reactions, and rose from the couch to stand before his chair. She knelt at his feet, and placing her hands on his thighs, looked up at him. "Caius?"
The Volturi was scowling when he looked down at his human mate. Celeste reached out with one hand and cupped his cheek. She leaned up to kiss him, then pressed her forehead against his. "I love you, Caius, but my decision has nothing to do with that. Can you understand my reasoning?"
His expression softened, then he sat back. He raised Celeste up off her knees, and set her on his lap. "Yes, my love. I do understand."
They whispered together, Celeste nodding. She rose from his lap and smiled down at him. Knowing Caius agreed with her, she turned to Aro, discerning his satisfaction as much as he tried to hide his own reaction.
"Aro, wipe that grin off your face. This isn't about whom I love best. It's more about whom I trust to do it right. But I want you all there. I need you all to be there, with me." Her voice became a bit more frantic as she realized she had just given final consent to the change, and Marcus, recognizing the stress of the situation, rose from his chair and flashed to her side. He gathered her in his arms, feeling her relax into his body as she let go a halting sigh.
"Aro, Caius, please. This isn't as easy for Celeste as she'd hoped it would be." He stroked her hair and whispered, "Amore, do you have a date in mind yet? Then you will no longer have to think about this. We will take care of the rest for you."
Looking around at her three mates, Celeste said with only some conviction, "Yes, next weekend, Sunday evening, after dark. Before then, I would like my mates to spend time with me doing human things. I want to walk to the village and eat some Italian, and visit a winery and drink red wine, and see the countryside..."
"But, cara, you can do all those things once you have changed and are past your newborn stage, well, except for eating human food," Aro said, chuckling until Celeste glared at him. "Very well, my dear. Anything you wish, we will take care of for you. And now, everything is settled."
Caius stood and walked over to the couch. "Pardon me, brother. My mate and I have a date." He pulled Celeste away from Marcus' embrace, scooped her up in his arms, and left Aro's rooms. Caius had no idea what he and Celeste would do this evening, but he would let her decide. If she wanted him to love her, he would. If she wanted to talk, he would do that. Marcus was right. He and his brothers, in doing what they always did, were making this decision too stressful for Celeste. He would be glad when it was all over.
Aro and Marcus looked at one another. "We did the right thing, Marcus. She has decided."
"I understand that, Aro, even if you do not comprehend the effect it had on Celeste. Once the transformation is complete, it will be fine. There won't be any going back for her, but it will be up to us to make sure she doesn't want to."
In Caius' rooms, Celeste lay on her side on the large bed, her feet bare. She watched while Caius had kicked off his shoes and socks, then removed his jacket, hanging it in his walk-in closet.
"Is there anything you want, tesoro. Are you hungry or thirsty?" he asked, sitting on the side of the bed.
"Do you think the chef would have any baked leftovers, like bread or cookies maybe? And some cold milk would be nice. Oh, and a glass of red wine, for later."
After kissing Celeste's hand, Caius flew off to the kitchen and fixed a tray with help from the the chef, who was just about ready to go home for the day. Returning to his rooms, Caius set the tray down on the bed. He noticed Celeste had removed her sundress, and was sitting against the headboard, now attired in one of his dressing robes.
He unbuttoned his shirt but kept it on. Now that he was comfortable, he went to see to his mate.
"We have some cookies here, a croissant leftover from lunch, several slices of fresh-baked bread, some strawberry jam, and milk. Wine for later." His eyes darkened a bit, knowing wine relaxed Celeste. But he had no intention of forcing her to give in to his desire for her. Being a mate meant also providing solace, which seemed more imperative while she was still human.
Leaning against the headboard, Caius watched while Celeste ate leisurely. "Is there anything you wish to talk about, my love? Questions you may have? I am here for you, always."
Swallowing a bite of a cookie, she followed it with some of the milk, then turned to Caius. "We've already decided what needs to be done. Can we please discuss something else, Caius?"
"Yes, of course we can. Anything you want." He waited for his mate to finish eating. Celeste didn't seem very hungry, but the tray Caius brought her filled her just the same. Once she was done, he took the now empty tray and set it on his desk, then flashed back to the bed. He handed her the glass of wine, before settling next to her.
The silence hung comfortably between them, neither needing conversation for the moment.
Celeste sipped the wine, feeling it warm in her belly. She nestled a bit more into the mattress, sighing. Her free hand lay on Caius' leg. She felt his arm move around her, creating a circle of comfort for her to relax within.
Looking up at him, Celeste murmured, "I love you so much, Caius."
"I love you, my pet." He kissed her forehead, but saw her still looking up at him. He leaned down and kissed her lips, tentatively, then with more pressure when she didn't seem to object.
Celeste ran her hands over his bare chest, pushing his shirt off one shoulder. She waited while he took the hint and removed the shirt completely.
Caius leaned over his mate, kissing her deeply before moving his lips to her neck. He slipped the sleeve of his robe off her shoulder, then kissed it. Pulling the robe open, he bared her breasts, sucking on one feelling the nipple harden above his tongue.
The one thing Celeste loved about being with Caius was he seemed to enjoy giving attention to her body, all of her body as individual parts. He might work to stimulate her by kissing slowly up her legs to hover over her heated core, slipping his tongue between her wet folds or fingering her cunt until she came with a cry.
She might lie on her stomach and enjoy him dancing cold fingertips over her back, massaging her while she let out sighs of contentment. Then he'd kiss down her back to her butt, blowing cool air to tease her.
Caius wanted Celeste to enjoy their love-making while she was still human. Things would change once she was a vampire. He could hardly wait for the first time they'd be together.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
The next morning, Celeste had spent time in the shower being pleasured by her mate. The water was hot and Caius was hotter. They stayed in there until the water began to run cold. Caius didn't care, unaffected by the temperature, but when he felt the goosebumps on Celeste's skin, he knew it was time to stop. Grabbing one of the towels off the rack, Caius dried the water from Celeste, kissing her shoulder and neck.
Celeste giggled, his kisses tickling her. "All right, love, we'd better finish up. You don't even know what has been scheduled for you today."
"That is true. I'm sure Aro has something lined up for us. He usually does," Caius huffed.
"Now, now, you are a Volturi leader who has the duty of policing the vampire community."
"I know," he said, smiling at her.
She slipped on her sundress and sandals, and gave Caius a kiss and final hug. She left him to finish his own dressing.
Celeste was walking down one of the corridors, heading to the kitchen. She could smell something delicious the closer she got. Suddenly, she was hit from behind, arms wrapping around her body, a face buried in the crook of her neck.
"Aro, what are you doing?"
"How did you know it was me, cara mia?" he asked, nuzzling her from behind.
"For one thing, you're slightly shorter than Marcus and Caius, plus it's getting to where I recognize your touch and scent." She turned in Aro's arms, and kissed him. "I'm on my way to the kitchen. I'm hungry and something smells good."
Aro could smell the cooking food as well, although he wasn't interested in it. There was only one thing he was hungry for at the moment.
"You're too much of a temptation for any man to resist, even if that man is a vampire." His hands slid down Celeste's back to cup her buttocks, pressing her hips against his.
"As they say, resistance is futile," she said, before kissing his cold lips. Being a Star Trek fan among her other interests, she loved throwing out the the Borg reference, but she knew Aro would have no idea what it meant unless he read her.
Celeste was busily distracted when Aro suddenly picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. She shrieked and kicked her legs, telling him to put her down. He did just that, but when she looked around, they were in his bedroom, and she was now lying on his bed.
"You're so fast, I miss everything," she said, smiling, her heart pounding.
Aro kicked his shoes and socks, and stood at the foot of the bed, gazing down at Celeste. He unbuttoned his shirt and slowly removed it.
Celeste watched Aro, her tongue wetting her lips. Was he giving her a strip tease? In any case, she was enjoying the show and gave her mate her full attention.
Aro knew Celeste was aroused. He could hear her excelerated heartbeat, sense her increased body heat, and smell the change in her scent. He saw her eyes lower when his hands moved to his belt to remove it to drop it on the floor. His hands undid his black slacks, lowering the zipper, his eyes never releasing his mate's gaze. Aro slipped off the slacks, letting them drop to the floor.
Celeste inhaled with a slight gasp, taking in his naked beauty. She felt his cold hands remove her sandals, throwing them across the room. He held out his hands for her take, as he pulled Celeste to a kneeling position.
Aro reached for the hem of her dress and pulled it up over her head to find her naked. "No underthings, my dear?"
"I frown on walking the corridors naked, Aro. It hasn't been that long since...I was with Caius this morning, and I just threw on the dress before I left."
"I see. The better for me, I suppose." He grabbed her by her heels and pulled her down the length of the bed. She now lay before him, her long legs on either side of him. He noticed her eyes were wide with expectation.
Aro's hands slowly stroked her thighs, his cool fingertips causing her skin to feel extra sensitive. He observed her breathing through parted lips, whimpering from need.
"Aro...," she started to speak, but was stopped. She reached out for him with one hand, but was rebuffed.
"Shhhh...mia amata. Let me tend to you." He bent to kiss her warm skin, moving up one thigh, then the other. His kisses made Celeste tremble before he reached the center of her femininity. He blew icy air over her, sending chills over body.
"Aro, please..."
When the king of vampires saw his human mate's desire strong to the point she was begging for him, he moved one leg onto his shoulder, and kissed the inside of her thigh until he was at her heated core. His tongue pushed into her, parting her wet lips, her gasps and cry music to his ears. He laved her warm flesh, licking around her clit, causing Celeste to squirm, her hips thrusting upward.
Celeste reached down, entwining her fingers in Aro's hair. "Oh...god, Aro! I...I'm there! Don't stop!" When she felt the spasms of her orgasm, she cried out her mates name, her hands now grabbing at the bedspread.
Before she had to time to relax, Aro moved up to hover over Celeste, thrusting into her soaked cunt. He took his pleasure of her while giving himself to her. Her scent filled his nostrils as he buried his face in her neck, careful not to scrape her skin with his teeth as he had before. He finally felt her inner muscles tighten around his cold hard member, drawing his icy cum from him.
Celeste slipped her arms around Aro's torso while she came down from her sexual high, the pair lying beside one another, one catching their breath, the other having no need. Aro was merely feeling content in his mate.
"Are you all right, cara mia?" he asked, kissing her below her ear.
"I'm more than all right, Aro. I just feel bad."
He looked at her flushed face. "About what?"
"I keep leaving Marcus out of my attentions. He never complains though. I was hoping he would let me help him in the garden. He said he might go out early this afternoon, so I thought I'd have some lunch first, before I was rudely interrupted."
Aro gave Celeste an expression of apology, making her laugh. She kissed his cheek and continued.
"So, if you will excuse me, my darling, your well satisfied mate will find a quick repast, and then look for Marcus in the garden."
"My dear, I don't want you to ever feel neglected or that you are neglecting any of us. Go find Marcus. Enjoy your time with him. I'm sure he would love your help." He wrapped his arms around Celeste, hugging her, then with one more deep kiss, Aro eluctantly let her go.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Celeste returned to her room to shower, then changed into a pair of crop jeans and a white sleeveless cotton shirt. She put on some tennis shoes and ran from her room down the corridor that led to the garden. Once she was outside, she headed for Marcus' corner of the garden where his bed of roses was growing. She saw him there, bending over a bush, clipping off some of the dead buds.
"Hello, Marcus!" she called out as she ran to his side.
The tall vampire greeted Celeste with a smile. He kissed her temple and hugged her close, asking, "Why are you here, amore?"
"I was wondering if you needed any work done in your garden. I'd love to help."
"Of course, if you would care to rake the rows between the bushes for any loose leaves. There is a bag for them over there."
"Thank you, Marcus," Celeste said as she looked around the collection of different breeds of roses. "They're all so lovely. Where I come from, the most beautiful blooms have little fragrance."
"That is the fault of rose breeders. They opt for appearance over scent. You will find, my dear, all of my roses have scent. I could do no less for Didyme."
Celeste was grateful Marcus loved her, even if not as much as he had loved his first mate. "Perhaps...one day, you will create a rose for me, Marcus."
The vampire gazed at his human mate briefly, before embracing her. "I will do that for you, Celeste. You are worthy of it."
"Thank you, love. Now I had better get to work." She stood on tiptoe to give Marcus a deep kiss, then went to her raking duty.
Once the garden had been groomed, the pair looked around, satisfied in their work. It was already dusk by the time they'd finished. They picked up the equipment and went back inside where Marcus led Celeste to the storage room several levels below the main floor of the castle.
Celeste clapped the dirt from her hands, then realized she had dirt on her arms and legs. "Marcus, do you mind if I take a quick shower? I swear, between the three of you sexing me up all the time, and just everyday living, I may as well be a human prune. Or a mermaid. That could actually be interesting."
Marcus smiled, gathering Celeste in his arms, pulling her close. "Since I should shower as well, let us tend to that chore together."
Celeste laughed. "Chore? I wish all chores were so delightful." She gasped when she felt herself picked up in strong arms and carried to Marcus' chambers. They both disrobed, then Marcus ran the shower water until it was just a bit under hot. He stepped in, then held out his hand to bring Celeste under the wide-head spray.
"Mmmm...this feels marvelous, Marcus."
He did not respond, drawing his mate up against his cold body, now less so under the heated water. His arms surrounded her, his head bent to nuzzle her neck. His body began to respond to the stimulation of his mate's warm body rubbing against him. His cold hands caressed her smooth buttocks, then he lifted her up.
Celeste wrapped her legs around Marcus' waist, feeling her body pressed up against the tiled shower wall for support. She whispered in his ear, "I need to feel you in me, my love. Take me."
In that instant, Marcus thrust into Celeste. Her gasps spurred him further, leaving her empty and wanting only to thrust in harder. Soon, he reached the perfect rhythm, eliciting cries from her with each thrust.
Celeste was breathing hard, Marcus' hard length touching her g-spot, bringing about an orgasm stronger than she'd ever felt. She felt his cold emission fill her cunt, his cock throbbing inside her. She clung to him, while her hips pushed against him until the pleasurable spasms ended. She unwrapped herself from her mate's firm body, leaning on him until her wobbly legs steadied.
"That was incredible, Marcus," she said breathlessly, looking up at her mate. She waited for him to lower his head so that she could kiss him, her warm lips brushing over his cool ones. Her tongue licked at them, careful not to move between them, knowing his teeth could accidentally do a lot of damage.
Marcus let Celeste dry off, then picked her up in his arms and carried her out to the bed, laying her on it.
"I do have legs, love."
"I thought you might still be wobbly," he replied.
"You knew," she said, laughing.
"I do know you, perhaps better than you know yourself," he responded, bending low to kiss her.
"I highly doubt that, but given time..."
"We will have all the time in the world, Celeste," Marcus reminded her. "An eternity together."
Celeste crawled beneath the covers, Marcus lying next to her on top of the bedspread. He didn't want her to feel the cold of his body fresh out of the shower. He had slipped on pajama bottoms but remained shirtless. His arm lay over her waist above the spread, her back to him. They nestled together, Marcus eventually hearing her breathing become more steady as she nodded off.
Marcus thought about what he could do with Celeste, something he thought she would like to do during her final days as a human. He would talk to her tomorrow, he decided, then went back to enjoying listening to his mate breathing, while he still could.
A/N : Now that the hard decisions have been made, what changes will occur for Celeste and her vampire mates. One thing will be a shock for Aro. But more on that later.
