Page 52 of The Coven’s Sacrifice

Sienna had left in a huff to wander outside and ward our property. I had never seen her cry. Ever. I had to admit it unnerved me. Sienna tended to be factual and emotionless, a thing I had grown used to. It was clear these witches had messed with something she prided herself on, the cleanliness of the mansion was her job, her pride and joy. And they had, in her words, defiled it.

“You think she’ll be okay?” Colin asked, closing the door to my room behind us.

He was the one I was most worried about, so I waved it off. “She can manage.”

“Yeah, Sienna is tough,” Jacob agreed, holding on to Colin. “We should get nice and clean after our hike.”

We all heard the promise Jacob’s words held. Our man was feeling needy, or he simply wanted to comfort Colin the best way he knew how.

A slow smile spread across Harland’s lips. “I could do with a bath,” he agreed.

Jacob clapped his hands. “Then a bath we shall take!” He then grabbed poor Colin and tugged him into my bathroom.

“There’s no way we can all fit in there,” Colin laughed.

“No,” Jacob agreed, smile turning wicked. “But behind this door.” He gestured to the door in the far right, then opened it with a flourish. “Is a hot tub!”

“Oh!” Colin exclaimed, taking in our little haven. The entire room was filled with plants and held a humidity to it at all times. Sienna made sure to give the plants lots of sunlight, which was easy with the wall made entirely of windows.

“This is the first time we are using it while the sun is out,” Harland whispered, taking in the room. “We normally come here during the night, looking out at the stars as we bathe.”

“It’s beautiful,” Colin whispered. “I don’t even know the names of half of the plants. They’re so exotic looking, too.”

“Most of them come from the jungle, according to Sienna,” I explained. “We wanted to replicate what we saw in movies. A way to feel like we were no longer in the mansion.”

“It is the one room we never shared with anyone else, just us three,” Harland said.

“We wanted a place that was just ours,” I explained to Colin. “We shared a lot with the others, only our rooms were truly our own. This room was something Sienna made happen, and we just never mentioned it, hoping to keep it for ourselves.”

“But couldn’t the others just ask for a room like it?” Colin asked, stroking one of the biggest plants.

“We had “stolen” a room from Charles, one of the vampires here. He had left with his human, named Edith. We then asked if we could take his bathroom and make it a part of my room,” I explained. “We did not know if the others would be angry with us for making our private rooms bigger, so we kept it to ourselves."

“What happened when someone moved out? You just left their rooms alone?” Colin asked, now in the process of getting undressed by an impatient Jacob.

“We honored them by leaving their rooms alone,” Harland said.

“Except for Charles,” Colin chuckled.

Harland smiled sheepishly at that. “Well, yes.”

“Enough talking,” Jacob whined. “Why are you all still clothed?!”

Colin just laughed and kissed Jacob, ending his whining and turning it into soft whimpering moans instead.

Harland and I shared a grin as we hurried out of our clothes, eager to join our men. Jacob had always been the insatiable one of us, the one who could keep going and going. I loved that about him; how passionate he was. How loving. I was the only one who could tire him out, according to Harland, but now I was certain Colin would best me. There was this softness to our human that Jacob seemed addicted to. I just hoped Colin would be able to take all of us today, because I also longed for his softness.

Harland was busy turning on the water, the sound so loud it broke Colin and Jacob’s kiss. They smiled at one another, their happiness shining between them. I wished I could feel the others like I felt Colin, his emotions right now were full of love and happiness, his fear now lingering in the back of his emotions, just as we had hoped for.

“Should we add oils?” Harland whispered, showing me the two bottles we had left. I nodded. I wanted my men all slicked up under me, and we had learned many interesting ways of fucking in the hot tub. I could not wait to share that with Colin.

“Jacob!” Colin gasped. We turned to find the most beautiful view. Jacob was on his knees in front of Colin, his length in his mouth as he worked our human to completion. I knew Jacob liked to show off his wicked tonguing skills, and Colin was feeling every swipe of his talented tongue.

I jolted when Harland’s hand began stroking me, clearly done with only watching. I grinned at my handsome lover, his red curls now slicked to his skin from the humidity. His brown eyes glittered as the sunlight shone behind him.

“My gods, you are beautiful, my flower,” I whispered, seeing Harland like this for the very first time.

Harland blinked his pretty eyes, stunned by my reaction. Then he blushed, a shy smile spreading across his lips. “As are you, my love.” I had him in my arms within seconds, his soft lips meeting mine in a desperate kiss. I longed to be inside my lover, to feel closer to him. With our monsters gone, I could savor them without the constant need to just claim.
