Page 59 of The Coven’s Sacrifice

“Jetty!” I exclaimed. “What if we’d been naked!”

Jetty just shrugged. “I found most of them. Some I fear have passed.”

“Passed?!” Alexander gasped. “We do not age!”

Jetty shrugged again. “I fear these four were murdered. I have no proof though. But Eric, James, George, Charles, Orion, and Adam all agreed to come.”

“Then you will meet your aunt!” Jacob said, grinning. “She chose Adam.”

“I will also meet Jaspar,” I grumbled, not looking forward to meeting someone Alexander had been with.

Alexander just made what had to be a purring sound. “I look forward to showing him just how perfect my human is. He truly was not meant for me, not when I had the most precious human in the world intended to save me.”

I melted at that.

Jetty coughed. Loudly. “So, um, imma’ head out to my roses. Let me know if you need me to spy on the witch coven.” And then he was gone.

“Goddammit!” Alexander swore at the now empty spot.

“He can do that?!” I exclaimed. “That would change everything!”

Jacob sighed. “Let him tend to his roses tonight. We can ask him to spy on them tomorrow.”

I slumped back on the bed. “This day feels like a week.”

The others chuckled around me. “We better get you undressed,” Jacob purred, tugging at my pants.

“You’re insatiable,” I grumbled, but secretly I loved how eager he was to get me naked all the time.

“Only for my men,” Jacob agreed, now tackling my socks. “But I must admit, those underpants look much better when you are aroused.

I groaned, having forgotten all about the damn elephant boxers. “Why was my underwear even in this room?!”

Alexander smiled down at me. “Because you deserve to have your things in both rooms. You live with all of us now, but we figured your own room should still be a place you could go to if you need a break from us.”

“But we only had Sienna place your things in Alexander’s room. We did not think it wise to scatter your belongings everywhere.”

“You asked her to move my stuff?” I asked, actually surprised. I should’ve felt unnerved by it. Probably. Instead, I just felt happy that they wanted me to feel at home in both rooms.

Alexander nodded. “We were even talking about opening the walls and combining the rooms, giving us a bigger space for our private rooms.”

“Maybe we should wait until the other vampires have been here,” I suggested, knowing we needed the rooms.

He shrugged. “This mansion can house fifty people. I think we can spare these bedrooms and leave yours alone, if you wish for that.”

I shook my head. “I don’t need a place I can escape to. I have my little garden and chicken coop for that. If I should ever need it.” Jacob rolled his eyes. “Can we get back to getting naked?”

Alexander smirked. “Are you feeling neglected, my love?”

Jacob nodded. “Very.”

Harland laughed. “Do not fret, our darling Jacob.” He then shrugged out of his clothes, and now I had three naked vampires around me. I swallowed. Their bodies could take much more than mine, and I still felt achy from earlier, my little nap nowhere near enough to energize me.

“You just lay there and let me do all the work,” Jacob winked at me and then tugged my elephant boxers down. “Perfection.”
