The following morning

|·|

Athena cuddled into my body as my eyes fluttered open. Her heartbeat greeted my ears and her strawberry scent evaded my nostrils.

She shifted her arms, loosening her grip so that I could get up if needed to. I realized that she was awake.

"Good morning." I mumbled. I hardly parted my lips to avoid her smelling my morning breath.

Athena hummed.

"Good morning, pretty girl."

I smiled and rolled out of her arms as I got up to pee. I did my business and then brushed my teeth and washed my face. I removed the bonnet from my hair and raked my fingers through the braids.

As of now, Bianca is my hairdresser.

Or was it Gracie?

I did my morning routine and then Athena entered the bathroom. She stripped and stepped into the shower. I looked at her through the mirror, trying to not let my eyes linger on her body.

"Are you going out today?" I asked her.

"I have another meeting." Athena told me as she turned on the shower heads from the ceiling.

"What time?"

"Like eleven-thirty." She muttered and soaped the loofah.

Mind, shush.

Eyes, close.

Head, turn away.

As much as I tried to command myself to do that, it didn't work. My eyes followed her hands as they ran over her body, a trail of soap following her movements. Her eyes met mine and my throat went dry.

The water ran down her body, washing the soap off her body and she dropped the loofah and motioned for me to come to her.

I walked to her, completely mesmerized by her perfectly inked body.

When I was at the entrance of the shower door, she stepped closer to me, wrapping her fingers around my throat.

She pulled me in for a kiss and I kissed her back, reciprocating the same energy.

"Strip."

I took clothes off without hesitation which left me bare in front of her. Athena led me into the shower and she turned down the pressure of the water.

"My hair." I avoided the water at all costs.

"It won't get wet. Don't worry about that."

"Athena, I swear-"

"Shh, mama." Athena placed her lips on mine, shutting me up. I melted in the kiss as she placed her hand on the curve of my waist. "I have a spell over it."

Good 'cause I would've just burned this shit down.

With that being said, she lifted up and I wrapped my legs around her waist and my arms around her shoulders.

Athena smashed her lips onto mine as she held me against the wall of the shower.

Our lips made love to each other as a heat rushed down to my core.

The kiss got sloppier and needier as our lips kept molding against one another.

Our tongues collided with each other and we made out for a hot minute.

By now, my pussy was drenched and I wanted to do nothing more than to grind against her.

Athena pulled back from the kiss and she placed her hands underneath my thighs. She hoisted me up and I squealed in surprise. I gasped when her lips latched onto my clit.

A moan fell from my lips as she started to suck on my clit, hungrily, like it was her last meal. Her tongue ran through my slit and back to my clit again. My hand went to her hair as I ran my fingers through it. My grip subconsciously tightened on her hair when she bit my clit harshly.

Her lips brought me to my orgasm sooner than expected. Athena lowered me and I stood in front of her. She groped my butt and brought me in for a kiss.

"I'm going to buy a strap to use on you." She muttered. "And a few toys, too. I think you'd like a vibrator."

I hummed.

"I've always wanted to try sex toys."

Athena smirked.

She took up the loofah and reached for mine. I took it from her and we showered together. We did have another round in the shower and it almost ended up in her biting me. I told her that I wasn't sure about it as yet because the last time she bit me, it hurt.

She mentioned that biting me while I'm having an orgasm makes me cum harder. I want to try it but not yet, in due time.

We got dressed and then headed to the throne room where the meeting was being held. On the way, we held a conversation between each other.

"Why do you have a ball room?"

"For balls."

"I've never heard of a ball being kept here before." I told her.

"You're a human. You know how the worlds are parted off so of course, you wouldn't hear of it." She has a point.

I hummed.

"Why does the council takes humans to go to their nation every year?"

Athena sighed when I asked the question. "For workers. Our ancestors started to before us and also for population control."

"Population control?"

"Yes. That's why we kill and leave a remainder behind afterwards."

I stopped walking in my steps.

"And before you ask, yes, I'm the head of the operation.

The vampires started to take humans back then.

First, it was just for blood but then things started to get serious where the humans tried to kill us so the nations came together and decided to have their revenge and reciprocate the energy that the humans were giving. "

I processed the information that I was just given.

What? This was not in history books.

"It is in our history books. The humans erased the trace of them ever being in the wrong so that they could victimize themselves and make it seems like we're just killing them for no reason." Athena took my hand in hers and we started walking once more.

"Technically, the vampires are the ones that are in the wrong. They started taking humans first."

"For blood. Nothing more. The humans wouldn't be harmed excessively. Just suck, and go."

"So can't this... silent war stop?" I asked. "Be the ones to change the way of things and let it go."

Athena was silent.

"I suppose it could but it would take the humans some time to warm up to the idea of us just dropping the process like that. They could see this as a sign of vulnerability and attack us once more so I don't exactly know. I haven't given this a lot of thought."

"Because you enjoy spilling blood."

"Exactly."

"Of the innocent."

Athena laughed as we neared the throne room.

"If you're waiting for me to deny it then keep waiting."

Oh.

Fear should've paralyzed me. I should've feared that she could hurt me at any given moment but oddly, my mind just overlooked it. We entered the throne room and we greeted those who were here already.

I gasped when I saw London.

She smiled and I let go off Athena's hand and ran to her. London opened her arms as I jumped on her. She laughed as she wrapped her arms around me.

"I missed you." I got down out of her arms and she smiled widely at me. She patted her tummy and my eyes went down to the motion.

"I missed you, too."

I hugged her once more and London smiled and kept rubbing her tummy.

I picked up on what she was trying to say.

My eyes widened.

"You're joking."

London grinned.

"That was quick! What the fuck?" We walked to her seat. I didn't sit beside Athena because not everyone was here as yet so the meeting haven't started as yet. "How far along are you?"

"A few weeks."

"And you know already?"

"It's a werewolf, full breed, and the baby develops quickly." London said. "We did the ultrasound sound and the baby has all of its body parts already. It's small but I know that as time passes by, they'll get bigger."

"They'll?"

"I don't know the gender so I said they." She rolled her eyes. "I don't want to refer to them as it."

I nodded in understanding.

"Team girl." I said.

"Same but Judas wants a boy since he's going to have the alpha title passed down to him."

"Isn't it usually the alpha's child who gets the alpha title?" I asked in confusion.

"Yes, but Mateo doesn't have any children and he wants to step down.

By the rules, the beta gets that position and then his mate becomes Luna or the latter.

" I nodded as I processed this. "So tell me about your life.

How's it going? Have you guys," she paused and leaned in closer, "used the strap as yet? "

I heard Athena snicker and my cheeks darkened.

"Whether or not you're whispering, they can still hear you." I mumbled in embarrassment. "And to answer your question, no. Don't you have a phone?"

"Yes." She turned to Judas and stretched her hand out. He placed a phone in her hand and she showed me the phone case. It's a pink mirror case with her initial on the bottom plus Judas' own, L+J.

That reminds me I need to buy myself a phone case.

I took her number since I had Judas' own and I texted her.

The others arrived as London and I finished our conversation. I went and sat down beside Athena. She smirked at me.

"As soon as this meeting is done, we're going shopping."
