Elora
Rll my guys were rushing around, setting up tables and chairs. I guess they hadn’t used the ballroom in years. I’d only been in the
room once or twice, but everything was always covered in dust and cobwebs.
It was Thursday evening, and the clans would be here early Friday morning. My vampires had been cleaning and setting up all day, and I was beginning to feel attention-deprived.
Sitting in the middle of the ballroom, I watched them bicker about the table placement. Of course, I already had a glorious mind map of where I would put the tables and chairs to make the room look pretty and functional. Unfortunately for them, Eugene told me to stay out of the way, so now I was watching them struggle. Quite pettily, might I add.
So there I sat, looking pretty in my pajamas, hair in a braid, lollipop in my mouth, ready for bed. Quin gave me the lollipop to keep me quiet after I came in here. They were all being so serious. It was rare that I got to see them so frazzled; it was amusing.
Theo liked to try and delegate everything when he really just wanted to boss people around. Felix actually bossed them around but had no eye for decor. Lucifer was doing his own thing, getting the cobwebs out of the corners. Duke and Dane both looked over it with bored looks and crossed arms. Eugene and Quin would start throwing punches soon, both of them getting in each other’s faces.
Men…
“Maybe if we didn’t put this off until the night of, we would have been able to plan it,” Duke glared at Theo dully.
I smirked. Coming from the man who’d given me hundreds of lectures about procrastination. Ugh, I’m loving this.
Theo clenched his jaw, pointing a finger at him. “That’s not on me! You know I can’t be trusted with these kinds of things,” he shot back.
Quin narrowed his eyes at Theo. “We know, so stop trying to fucking give orders.”
“You’re one to talk, Quin,” Eugene shoved his shoulder. “You want the tables to go diagonally!” He shrugged his shoulders as if it was a ridiculous idea.
It was a ridiculous idea. Continuing to lick the sugar stick, my eyes joyfully bounced between them.
“Everyone should just calm down,” Dane tried.
“Shut the fuck up!” Everyone yelled at him in unison.
I fought a giggle. Awe, my sweet Dane… To be fair, he should have known they would react snappily. Tensions were high, and they were running out of time.
Felix slowly shook his head. If vampires could get headaches, he looked like he’d have one. “Enough!” He shouted, making me flinch as his voice echoed off the walls.
“That was a little dramatic…” Theo mumbled, unphased by his booming voice.
Felix pointed to the tables. “We’re setting them up in rows of three, leaving a few feet between the rows,” he instructed.
That’s not… that’s not going to work. My brain buzzed in the annoying way it usually did when I knew something wouldn’t be even. I made a sound, trying to keep my thoughts to myself.
Felix slowly turned to me, the smallest amount of annoyance in his eyes. “Yes, Baby?” He challenged.
Finally! I stood up, walking over to where I would put the first table. “If you do them in threes, there won’t be walking space. But if you zig-zag them,” I took a few steps and stood where I’d put the following table. “It looks pretty, people won’t have to worry about popping someone’s bubble if they lean back, and there’s plenty of walking space,” I explained, giving them a sweet smile.
They all stared at me for a few seconds before they turned to each other, each with a puzzled expression.
“I fucking hate you,” Theo gave Eugene’s head a hard smack as he started towards me.
Folding my hands behind my back and bouncing on my heels, I grinned up at him.
“And how long have you had that figured out for, Princess?”
Lucifer dropped down from a ledge that overlooked the whole ballroom. “About an hour,” he answered.
Quin sent Lucifer a harsh look. “And you were just going to keep that to yourself, huh?”
“And watch you all bitch over goddamn tables?” Lucifer smirked. “Yes.”
That man had an appetite for destruction that I couldn’t relate to.
Felix was about to say something when three loud knocks echoed through the house. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. No one was supposed to arrive until early morning?
Theo shook his head, smirking, but the dark look in his eyes told me he was anything but amused. “If that’s who I think it is, I’m gonna lose it,” he chuckled.
Felix’s shoulders relaxed, and a faint grin was placed on his lips. “Relax, Theo, the only men stupid enough to show up here are our friends–”
The ballroom doors opened, and I flinched at the suddenness of it. Two tall men–or vampires strolled in, oozing confidence. The first had shaggy blonde hair, dressed in black cargo pants with silver chains hanging off the waistband. The other man was built like a wrestler, tall and uncommonly muscular. His dark skin made his striking red eyes stand out against his features. He was wearing dark jeans and a white t-shirt.
The blonde smirked at Felix. “Now, now, Felix, is that any way to greet us? We are here to help you set up after all,” he teased, giving Felix a handshake.
Dane was by my side, draping his arm around my shoulder. I suddenly realized that my pajamas weren’t the best attire to meet anyone. They weren’t revealing or anything, just shorts, and a tank top. “Ready for bed, Angel?” He asked.
Still listening to my other guys greet the two men as old friends, I absentmindedly nodded.
“Ramsey, Sabastian,” Theo smirked as he approached the two, giving them each a quick half hug. “What’s it been? Ten years?”
Ramsey, the blond, chuckled. “Something like that. We had a hunch you’d be bickering like old ladies.”
“You’ve always been shit at decision-making,” Sebastian added.
I’d never met any of their friends before. Zion and Gavin didn’t count– they definitely weren’t friends. But Ramsey and Sebastian seemed nice.
“Not as bad as you,” Eugene teased. “At least when we make decisions, we don’t have to call anyone to save us–”
“One time! Other clans call you monthly; we have called once, and I was quite literally on fire,” Ramsey defended.
“Are the other clans already lingering around the town?” Duke asked.
Sebastian nodded. “We only passed through, but there’s vampire scent in every corner.”
I bit my lip, feeling nervous. It probably wasn’t as bad as it sounded, but that many vampires in our tiny little town would make anyone uneasy.
“Everyone’s eager; it’s unusual for you to host the gathering out of your manor, Felix. Zion has everyone riled up. He’s been talking a lot of shit,” Ramsey shifted his eyes toward me.
Ramsey and Sebastian both studied me, and I tried not to crumble. I didn’t like this; I was vastly unprepared to meet anyone. They were my guys’ friends, and I wanted to make a good impression. But no, they got lollipop in mouth, barefoot, pajama girl. Way to go Queen Elora.
“So the rumors are true,” Sebastian commented.
Felix gave me a proud smile before he curled his finger at me. “Elora, come here, Baby.”
I glanced up at Dane, who gave me a small smile before letting me go. I padded over to Felix’s side quickly, hating that all eyes were on me.
Felix wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to his side. “Baby, this is Ramsey and Sebastian,” he introduced. “They’re old friends of ours.” Felix looked at the two, “Boys, this is Elora–”
“She’s the Princess,” Theo winked at me, and I blushed. I was still unsure if I liked being referred to as that just yet, especially since we had just met… And I was in my pajamas… Oh dang the lollipop!
I quickly took the sugary sweet out and handed it to Duke, who immediately popped it into his mouth.
Gross or hot? Hot.
Giving them a small wave, I shyly smiled at the two. “Hi, it’s nice to meet you,” I greeted politely. I’d already butchered the first impression;
maybe I could save some of my dignity, though.
“Well, aren’t you just adorable,” Ramsey grinned at Felix like he was teasing him. “I almost feel bad for you, kid,” he grinned at me. “One of you and seven of them, I know your shits wrecked–”
“Ramsey,” Quin warned.
Ramsey put his hands up in surrender. “Just an observation,” he defended.
Huh?
Sebastian smirked. “More importantly, who has the biggest dick, Elora?”
They shouldn’t be talking about that… It’s rude. I blushed a million shades of red at their insinuations. Looking up at Felix wide-eyed, I hoped he’d save me from this embarrassment.
Theo was fighting back laughs as Ramsey and Sebastian gave my guys amused smirks.
Dane grabbed my hand, gently pulling me out of Felix’s hold. “That’s enough for tonight. Come on, Angel, let’s go to bed,” he started walking out of the ballroom.
Oh, thank goodness. I squeezed his hand, traumatized that they even asked such a vulgar question.
“Keep it down up there, you two!” Ramsey teased, and I felt like dying. “Now, what’d you do that for?” I heard Eugene chuckle as we walked
away.
“Oh, come on, we’re just messing with her,” Sebastian said. “Poor girl is going to have a lot more than light teasing when the rest of the clans meet her.”
“She’s shy, don’t mention it again,” Duke deadpanned. My hero.

Once again, waking from my sleep, I cuddled into Dane. I kept hearing the sound of people talking, and each time it woke me. Peeking my eyes open, I noticed it was still dark outside.
Ugh. I threw my leg over Dane’s hips, pulling him closer to me. I snuggled into him, trying to force myself back to sleep. Unfortunately, after a few minutes, all I could focus on was the noise coming from downstairs… and his hip that was perfectly pressed against my girly parts.
Well, if I couldn’t sleep… and he was obviously up… and we were conveniently in bed, it was only fair that I should have my dirty way with him. It’d been days, and I was no longer limping. It had also been days since they last touched me, which was far too long.
Opening my eyes, I tilted my head to look up at him. He was staring at the ceiling before his gaze shifted to me. He cocked an eyebrow, looking confused. “Why are you awake, Angel? Go back to sleep,” he ran his hand down my back.
Hmm no.
Pulling myself into his lap, I shifted and straddled him. I grinned at him. “I can’t sleep,” I gave him a suggestive look.
Dane narrowed his eyes at me, tilting his head. He looked at me with a calculating gaze for a few seconds before he raised his eyebrows, catching onto what I wanted. “It’s 4:30, Elora. Go back to sleep.”
The moonlight glimmered through the window, and I eyed his toned torso for a few seconds, admiring how it reflected off him. I gave him a sweet smile. “I don’t feel like sleeping.” I slowly rocked my hips, rubbing myself on the growing tent in his boxers.
Dane rested his head back against my headboard, gripping my hips. I smirked, knowing that I was getting my sexy time. Until his grip on my hips got tight and stopped my movement altogether. “Dane–” I pouted.
He looked pained as he narrowed his eyes at me. “The clans are here, Angel,” he said.
So? Congratulations. What did that have to do with anything? That explained the noise coming from downstairs. I tried to move my hips again, but Dane let out a small chuckle.
“No, Elora,” he pointed to his ear, giving me a stern look, but amusement was behind his eyes.
Oh. Always my downfall… stupid vampire hearing. I knew that; why didn’t I think of it?
I crossed my arms, annoyed. So close yet so far away. Dane let go of my hips and smiled up at me. “Why are you awake?” He asked.
“I can’t sleep. They’re being so loud,” I explained, frustrated that he couldn’t just fuck me to sleep.
Elora Carmine… I thought, stunned at my own thoughts. What had they done to me?
Dane caressed the side of my face with his big hand. “I’m sorry, Angel,” he placed a gentle kiss against my lips.
Immediately, I sank into the kiss, taking him by surprise. I wrapped my hands around the back of his head, pulling him close to me. I tilted my head to the side, giving him the freedom to take control.
His lips moved against mine slowly as his hands gripped my ass. Liquid leaked out of me, and I fought back a moan.
Dane pulled away quickly, giving me a stern look. “Elora,” he warned.
Oops?
He closed his eyes, leaning back, clearly trying to compose himself. He took a breath before he gave me a calm smile. “Okay, how about we have an early start, yeah? We can have a breakfast date; I’ll take you to a diner, then get you coffee before school. How does that sound?” He suggested.
“Okay!” I agreed happily. This was so weird, I was never up this late–or early. We were going to eat breakfast in a cozy little diner. I was so excited! I think this was just his excuse to get us out of bed, though. Smart guy.
He looked relieved as I got up to go to the shower. I smirked. Vampires couldn’t hear as clearly over water, could they? I turned around, giving him a sweet smile as he sat on the edge of my bed. “Coming?” I asked, inching closer to the bathroom.
He groaned, chuckling as he dropped his head into his hands. “Elora, Baby, please.”
“But I’m cold,” I pouted.
Pressed his lips together, he shook his head. He let out the smallest laugh, pointing to the bathroom. “Turn the dial to the left,” he instructed.
Ugh, fine. He was one tough shell to crack. I’d already had my way if I was trying to seduce Duke or Theo.
As a last-ditch attempt to tease him into the shower, I decided to undress here instead of in the bathroom. Sending him a mischievous smile, I slowly pulled my tank top over my head. He watched me, looking intrigued while slowly shaking his head. I did the same with my shorts, slowly pulling them down until they pooled at my ankles, where I made sure to bend down, giving him a clear view of my ass to pick them up.
As if saying a silent prayer for me, he closed his eyes. I grinned, walking to the bathroom. That was fun.
“Angel,” he called.
Hopeful that he finally cracked, I turned to look at him. “I love you,” he said, still grinning at me.
My heart fluttered. I had to bite my lip to stop the stupid cheesy smile that overtook my lips as I left to shower.

Dressed in a white skirt, a button-up, and a cozy pink sweater over it, I felt cute and appropriately attired. I actually had to impress people today, so I’d better dress the part.
“Ready?” Dane asked, clad in black slacks and a button-up. Yummy.
“Uh-huh,” I hummed while eyeing him. I didn’t know what had gotten into me this morning, but If I could have just a smidgen of sexy time, I’d be cured.
Dane narrowed his eyes at me, clearly knowing I was up to no good. I couldn’t help it, he was dreamy, and I was feeling quite slutty. He sighed, reaching his hand out for me to hold. “Don’t let go of my hand, Angel. We’re going to go straight to my car, okay?” He instructed.
I nodded. “Okay. Are there many people in the halls?” I asked. I thought they’d all be in the ballroom.
He shook his head. “No, there’s a few. I doubt they’ll say anything, but if they do, let me do the talking.”
Please, like I’d even know what to say. Hi, I’m a teenage human who is also your Queen. That wouldn’t go over well.
Holding onto Dane’s hand, we exited my bedroom, starting down the long halls. The door to the ballroom balcony entrance was closed, as it always was. The voices got louder the closer we got to the ballroom. Dane was walking quickly, so I didn’t get a chance to eavesdrop.
From the top of the stairs, I saw four men standing near the bottom, all in some kind of conversation about a sculpture in the foyer. Eugene
collected all sorts of expensive art, filling the manor with them. I accidentally chipped one before–I was grounded for a day before Duke broke me out.
Their gaze shifted to Dane and me as we descended the steps. I really hated people staring at me, but I’d gotten used to it over the years. As Vice President–now president–I frequently gave speeches. Public speaking was something I was good at, but it wasn’t something I liked to do. Being judged was what bothered me. I had a sneaking suspicion there would be a lot of judgment this weekend.
I recognized one of them as Zion and instantly felt defensive. Something was just not right with him. I didn’t think he was necessarily a threat; I thought he was a snake who couldn’t mind his business.
One of the men smiled at Dane as we reached the bottom. “I was wondering when you’d make an appearance, Dane. Everyone’s been eager to see you and Lucifer; it’s been too long,” he said.
Yeah, well, he was mine. They could have his attention while I was away at school. For now, I called dibs.
Dane skillfully moved me to his other side, switching hands. He distanced me from them but made it look casual. I took note of the sudden authority and power he carried as he stood in front of them.
“I’ll join later this morning. As for Lucifer, he will attend if he wants to. For now, I suggest you all get back to the meeting,” he said, his voice dripping with authority.
I tried not to smirk at him. There was nothing inherently sexy about this. Nothing at all. So why, for the love of God, was I turned on?
The man dropped his gaze to the ground. “Yes, of course,” he agreed instantly, turning to walk to the ballroom.
Feeling a bit surprised that they seemed so intimidated by Dane, I raised my eyebrows. He was harmless! Surely he was just putting on an act. He wouldn’t hurt a fly.
The other two followed suit, but Zion lingered for a few extra seconds. He seemed to size Dane up before his gaze fell to the floor, and he walked away. Weird.
Dane waited until the four were out of sight and in the ballroom before we turned to leave. “Pancakes?” He asked as we took off down the driveway.
“They probably won’t be as good as Quin’s, but I’m a sucker for sugary breakfasts,” I chirped.
“Anything for you.” He glanced at me. “Elora, it’s imperative that you aren’t alone for the duration of the gathering. You must always be with one of us, do you understand?” He asked.
“24/7 attention doesn’t sound bad to me. It should be like this all the time,” I joked. I really didn’t mind this. Being around them made me happy.
We pulled up to a small diner that’s parking lot was empty, seeing as it was still dark out. This time of day was oddly soothing.
Dane put the car in park and gave me a look. “Take your panties off and lift your skirt,” he ordered, gesturing for me to climb over the middle console and onto his lap.
Watching him take his belt off, I was practically drooling. Oh wow, just for me? I glanced around the parking lot, nervous that someone might see us.
“Do as I say, Angel,” his stern voice brought me back to reality.
I carefully took my underwear off, placing them on the seat before climbing over onto his lap. I grinned down at him, watching him pull out his dick, feeling smug that I finally got my sexy time. “What took you so long?” I teased.
He smirked. “As much as I’d love to give into your every sexual demand, Angel. I don’t want every vampire to hear, smell, or even think of what’s mine,” he gave me a dark look.
Lifting my hips, he placed his hand under my ass. His other hand positioned his dick until it was lined up with my sopping entrance. “What if someone sees?” I pouted, feeling guilty for doing it in a car in public.
He pulled me down suddenly, our thighs clapping together as his dick plunged into me. I cried out, gripping onto his shoulders.
“Then you’d better give them a good show,” Dane rasped.
Despite my blush, my core clenched desperately around him. He gripped my hips and pulled me forward. I moaned at the new sensation as he pulled my hips back and forth. He wasn’t going in and out, instead, he had me grinding on him, hitting something deliciously deep inside me.
Dane’s’ head fell back as he watched me with sunken dark eyes. I leaned back, placing my hands behind me on his knees. Keeping the same movement, I took over, rubbing my pussy against him.
He ran his hands up my thighs, smirking at me as he ran his thumb down my slit. I bit my lip as he gently rubbed my clit. “You’re so fucking hot, Angel,” he moaned as he reached for his phone with his free hand. “Now, smile pretty and show the guys what a good girl you are,” he instructed as he started recording me.
I giggled, glancing at the camera before eyeing Dane lustfully as I moaned. The thought of him sending a dirty video to my guys made my pussy throb.
After a few seconds, Dane put his phone down and grabbed my ass. He moaned as he lifted me up and pulled me back down on him.
I whimpered as he thrust into me and continued to bounce on him. My eyes rolled back, and I sighed happily. This was what I needed.
“You’re so wet, Baby,” Dane grunted, wrapping his arm around my torso and slamming me down onto him.
I shrieked in pleasure, feeling close as he roughly used me to fuck himself. “Don’t stop,” I begged as my eyes filled with tears.
Kissing me sloppily, he moaned against my lips. His hot tongue licked my lips and toyed with my tongue, making my thighs shake.
I cried out as I came, my pussy greedily squeezing around his dick. “Dane!”
Dane whimpered. “Is this what you wanted? You want to be used like a little fuckdoll?” He rasped out as he continued to slam me down onto him.
“Uh-huh,” I agreed breathlessly, feeling all my worries fade away.
Tangling my hands into his hair, I let him take my lips again. Meeting his own thrusts with my own, I heard him start to whimper in the cervix- crushing way he did before he cums.
I was satisfied, but I wasn’t done with him yet. I moaned as I felt his dick twitch, shooting that warm liquid I loved so much into me. He gripped my hips hard, thrusting into me a few more times as he finished himself off.
Dreamily watching him, I bit my lip. He’s so hot; it made me want to cry. I really was the luckiest girl in the world.
He looked down at me with a small smile. “Don’t move yet, Angel. I don’t want to get your skirt messy–”
“We’re not done yet.”
Dane pushed his head back, a look of surprise in his eyes. “We’re not…?” He repeated.
Smirking up at him, I shook my head. “We still have an hour until the sun comes up.”
He narrowed his eyes at me like he thought I was joking. “An hour for us to eat breakfast,” he gave me a pointed look.
Food? I wasn’t hungry anymore. I’d much rather stay in the car with him and fuck all morning. The choice was obvious.
How did I put this gently? I shifted on top of him, putting my weight on my knees as I carefully lifted myself off of him. I quickly caught any cum that leaked out of me with my hand. I locked eyes with him before bringing my hand up to my lips and licking our cum. Swallowing the sweetness, I smirked at him. “Or you could fuck my brains out all morning,” I suggested sweetly.
Dane’s lips parted as he stared at me with wide eyes. He seemed like he was at a loss for words. “What has gotten into you this morning?” He whispered.
I really didn’t know, but I knew I was horny. Painfully horny, and it was giving me an attitude. “It’s what was taken out of me, Dane,” I corrected.
He pushed his head back, narrowing his eyes at me. A small chuckle was his only warning before he tossed me over his shoulder and into the backseat.
I gasped as I landed on my back, and not two seconds later, he was opening the back door and climbing in next to me. He closed the door, instantly flipping me into my hands and knees. “Let’s get rid of that attitude, yes?” He said darkly.
Without warning or hesitation, he pushed his dick into me, roughly pounding my petite body into the seat. I reached one of my hands behind me, trying to get him to slow down.
Instead, he grabbed both my hands and crossed them behind my back. I cried out as he used my arms as handles and fucked into me. My upper body hovered over the seat, only held up by my knees and his firm grip on my arms.
Dane grunted as he put force behind every single thrust, each time hitting a sweet spot that had me drooling. “Oh, Dane!” I cried out in pleasure.
Dane smacked my ass before palming my cheeks. “Fuck, Baby, your little cunt is throbbing for me,” he rasped out.
The car was shaking with every thrust, and I hoped no one else decided to have an early breakfast this morning.
I came quickly, unable to take his violent thrusts. “Dadd–Dane,” I moaned absentmindedly.
Dane chuckled evilly. “Awe, Angel, is this too much for you, little baby? Is it getting hard to think?” He teased.
A string of moans escaped my lips as I blushed. My thighs were shaking, and I was fighting to keep them from giving out. “I–I don’t have an attitude a–anymore!” I cried out. He didn’t slow down, giving me no time between orgasms.
“What happened, Baby? You wanted me to fuck your brains out for an hour, didn’t you?”
Whimpers and pants were my response as I nodded my head. What was I thinking? I couldn’t take an hour of this!
He pulled me flush against his groin, bending down, his lips next to my ear. “Now, are you going to keep acting like a spoiled little slut, or are you going to behave like my good girl and have a nice breakfast with me?” He challenged as he gave another hard thrust.
My eyes rolled back as I flinched. “I’m your good girl,” I panted out, looking behind me at him with glossy, rounded eyes.
He smirked, slowly pulling out of me, making me shudder. He wrapped his arm around my middle and pulled me into his arms. I took a few deep breaths as we sat in comfortable silence.
Dane leaned forward, grabbed my underwear from the passenger seat, and handed them to me. He sent me a charming smile as I put them back on. “Have I mentioned that I love the short skirts and dresses you always wear?” He flirted.
“Cute and functional. You know I purposely wear them to tease you, right?”
Chuckling, he lifted his brows. “Let’s get some food in you, my little nympho,” he opened the door, holding his hand out to me. “I have a suspicion that you’re hangry.”
I pressed my lips together and raised my eyebrows as I exited the car.
Huh, I was hangry.
|
The school day went by quickly. Probably because I was dreading going back home. I didn’t want to be around so many vampires; I didn’t think I’d live up to their expectations. They must have thought I was someone special for their king and the rest of my super-important guys to love me. When in reality, I was just me.
I didn’t want to pretend to be someone I wasn’t–I couldn’t lie well enough to pull it off. Truthfully, I didn’t even know how I was supposed to behave. When I asked Felix for a handbook, he thought I was joking. I was too embarrassed to admit I was completely serious, and now I regret it.
Knowing myself, I’d say or do something stupid or breathe too loudly, and they’d all hear me with their insane hearing. I was only supposed to be in front of everyone for a short amount of time, so says Felix. Yet, that was all I could think about all day.
After my much-needed sexy time with Dane, we had an excellent breakfast, then he dropped me off. He said Lucifer would pick me up, so I knew to look for his car.
“Elora!” I turned, hearing Jason call after me.
“Huh?” I questioned as he ran to me, unorganized papers and notebooks in his hand.
“I need your chem notes,” he held out his hand.
Looking at his hand, I knitted my brows and stepped back. My notes were nice and tidy, color organized, and alphabetical. What if he got a fingerprint on a page? Or smudges ink somehow? I’d have to redo it. “What for?”
He narrowed his eyes at me. “Oh, you know, light reading,” he teased. “I slept through my alarm, missed chemistry, and the final is on Monday,” he explained.
Chemistry had always been one of my strong subjects, and I understood it well. I knew I’d do well on Monday’s test, but I was selfish when it came to my things. “I can send you a picture?”
“I’m late for practice, and you don’t have my number. Please, Elora, I’ll give it back as soon as possible, I promise,” he begged.
