"Do you need me to get anything?" Ariana asked as she stopped next to the table.

I glanced up from my laptop and smiled at her. "Maybe some more cereal?"

"The same or a different flavour?"

Reaching out, I grabbed her arm and pulled her onto my lap. She instantly wrapped her arms around my neck but her brows dipped down into a frown.

"Any flavour will do," I told her. "What's wrong?"

Ariana hesitated. "You know that you and Eva are true mates too, right?"

"I'm know, doll." My eyes darted over her face, taking in the faint flush on her cheeks and the concern darkening her eyes. "Eva wants to take things slow which is why I haven't done more that kiss her."

"But that's not true," Ariana muttered. "We talked last night. She feels like you're not interested in her, like you don't want a bond to form like the one we share because you have me. Eva's usually very clear on what she wants. I can't figure out why she keeps lying to you."

I slipped a loose strand of hair behind her ear and gave her a small smile. "I'll sort it out. Okay?"

She nodded. Leaning forward, Ariana pressed her cheek to mine for a few seconds before she pulled away and turned to look at the computer screen.

"What are you doing?"

"Erik send me a link of some missing kid reports," I explained. "I'm going through them to see if I'm on it."

"So you've had no luck in finding your parents?"

"Not yet." I forced a smile onto my lips to hide the disappointment I felt. "But based on my birthmark we know that I'm a pureblood which means that I was born Vampire and that my family comes from a long line of. . .ancients as Erik calls them."

Ariana frowned again. "It means that you're older than us."

I chuckled. "Well, because of the injections Avery gave me I'm technically only a few years older than you, but I'll age slower now that I've started my. . .fluid diet."

She rolled her eyes and after pressing a kiss to my cheek, she slipped from my lap and picked up her purse. "I'll be back around three or so. Don't worry about cooking, okay? I'll bring something back."

I stood and followed her to the door. "Do you need a ride?"

"No, Ethan's waiting downstairs."

She opened the door but before she could step out, I grabbed her arm and pulled her against me as I lowered my head to capture her lips in slow kiss. By the time I pulled away Ariana was breathless, face flushed and eyes dark with desire. I smirked.

"Enjoy your day, doll."

She nodded, lingered for a few seconds more and then slipped out of the door. I stood there watching until she disappeared down the stairs before I turned and entered the apartment. Kicking the door closed, I walked back to the table and stared down at the laptop for a few seconds.

I wanted to find my parents badly because I wanted to know where I came from and how I ended up in Avery's hands. We had already determined that I was kidnapped but we didn't know all the small details and those details were the ones that were most important. If we knew how she managed it then we would be able to prevent something from it happening in the future.

Forcing all the troubling thoughts from my mind, closed the laptop and headed downstairs to Eva's bedroom. I knew that she'd still be in bed. One thing I learned from sharing the apartment with my mate was the fact that Eva loved her sleep almost as much as she loved brownies. There was no way she'd get out of bed before nine unless it was something really important.

I stopped in the doorway of her bedroom and silently watched her.

She was still fast asleep, sheets kicked down to the bottom of the bed, one arm thrown over her stomach and another stretched out at her side. She lay half on her side, half on her back. Her long hair was spread out over the pillows.

My lips curled up into a smile. Ariana always complains about Eva hogging the whole bed for herself. It was one of the reasons I made sure that the bed in the "master bedroom" was big enough for all three of us.

I entered the room and stopped at the end of the bed to stare down at her.

The cami-top she wore had ridden up, resting just below her breast, revealing her smooth flat stomach and dark blue panties. I sucked in a deep breath and bit back a groan as her scent filled my nostrils.

Eva had been the one to declare that she wanted to take things slow and I had respected that even though it fucking killed me to be so close to her but not be able to touch her.

She wanted more, so why hadn't she said anything?

I hesitated, but Ariana's words flashed through my mind.

Moving closed, I carefully place a knee onto the bed while keeping my eyes glued to her face in case she woke up. One my hands and knees, I carefully moved closer but paused when Eva suddenly rolled fully onto her back. A low moan fell from her lips as her legs dropped open.

My eyes dropped, locking onto the damp patch of her panties. Was she dreaming of me?

Lowering myself onto my stomach, I moved closer and gripped her thighs to spread her legs more and then leaned forward. She sucked in a sharp breath when I pressed my mouth to her pussy. I licked her, savouring the taste for a few seconds before I pulled back and hooked a finger underneath the material to push it aside.

Her hips jerked when my lips wrapped around her clit. I flicked the tip of my tongue up and down a few times before I started sucking. Eva's breathing sped up and her hips started moving. A glanced up her body revealed her wide eyes locked on me.

Moving the panties aside a bit more, I rubbed a finger along her pussy lips before I slowly slipped it inside her.

"L-Lucas," she gasped. "What. . .ah fuck?"

Her head dropped back onto the pillow as her hands shot down to grip my hair. The movements of her hips increased as I kept rubbing her g-spot as I sucked on her clit.

A few seconds later her pussy started clenching around my finger. She was close and instead of giving her what she want, I pulled away.

"W-why'd you stop?" she breathed.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Raising her head, she frowned down at me. "I knew she was going to blab to you."

"And if she didn't would you have told me yourself?" I asked her.

Eva pursed her lips which was my answer. Smirking, I crawled up her body until we were face to face. She refused to look at me by keeping her eyes closed. It wasn't a problem. Lowering my head, I pressed my lips to her jaw and slowly moved them lower to her neck.

My breathing sped up, matching hers, as I felt the flow of her blood beneath my lips. I used the tip of my tongue to trace the veins underneath her skin, making her shudder. Just to test her reaction, I nipped at her skin with my fangs.

"Fuck," Eva cursed.

Her hands shot up to grip my hips as her legs slipped around my waist. I groaned when she started grinding her pussy against my cock.

"You're an asshole," she muttered. "I was so close."

"I know." Raising my head, I smirked down at her. "I'm going to tease you like you've been teasing me for the past three months."

She scoffed. "Like you haven't been doing any teasing?"

I raised a questioning eyebrow, making Eva roll her eyes. Her hands slid down my chest to the hem of my shirt. A tug on the thin material made me sit up to pull it over my head and throw it to the floor.

Eva grabbed my shoulders and instantly pulled my body down on top of hers. Her hands slid over my shoulder blade and then back to my shoulders before the moved over my pecs and lower.

"You don't close the bathroom door all the way when you shower."

"Because I can't hear you screaming over the water if something happens," I explained.

"You walked around shirtless, wearing only a pair boxers," she said.

I licked my lips when her fingers skimmed the band of my pants. "The air-con was out and I was fucking hot."

"Liar."

Our eyes caught and held when she slipped the button free ad then slowly pushed the zip down. Whatever I wanted to say died down when she slipped her hand into my pants and wrapped her fingers around my cock.

I groaned, and fought the urge to close my eyes. We were supposed to be talking about the fact that she broke one of her promises.

"Fuck, Eva!" Her gripped tightened almost painfully.

"You know that I'm totally okay with the fact that I share you with Ariana, but I'm not happy about the fact that the two of you keep me up most of the time when you have sex." She gave my cock one more stroke before she pulled her hand from my pants and surprised me by flipping us over.

"It's your own fault," I told her.

Sitting up, she moved to the side and gave me a sultry smile as she hook her hands in the band of my pants. I raised my hips to help and then relaxed back against the mattress to see what she was planning on doing next.

"I didn't want to rush things."

I nodded. "Because you wanted to make sure that you can trust me."

"Yes," she said softly.

Eva stood, and slipped the cami over her head. She took a few steps back, closer to the edge of the bed as she slipped her fingers into the band of her panties.

"Did you find anything about your parents yet?"

"You seriously want to talk about this now?" I asked.

She smirked. "Why? Is it going to kill your mood?"

I gave her a smirk of my own and reached down to grip my rock hard dick. Her eyes followed my movements. I took note of the colour flooding her cheeks and the way her breathing sped up. Swallowing, Eva pushed her panties down her legs. Freeing one leg, she lifted the other to kick her panties away but it didn't end the way I was sure she had planned. The movement threw her off balance.

I shot up, gripped her hip and pulled her forward to stop her from falling backwards. A grunt fell from my lips when our chests collided.

She giggled. "The was probably the most—"

I pressed my lips to hers and kissed her. Eva wrapped her arms around my neck as her lips parted beneath mine. Gripping her thigh, I guided her leg over mine and then gripped her hips to position her over my cock. She broke the kiss and dropped her forehead to my shoulder as I slid deeper into her pussy.

"I dreamed about you," she moaned.

"Yeah?"

She nodded. Pulling away slightly, she pressed her palms to my chest and pushed. I laid back and watched her from beneath my lashes.

"What were we doing?" I asked when she remained silent.

Eva pressed her hands to my abdomen, spread her legs a little wider and gave me a smirk as she rolled her hips in a slow circle.

"You were fucking me senseless."

My smirk matched hers but it slipped away when I flipped us over. Grabbing her wrist, I pinned her arms above her head. Her legs slipped around my hips as I pulled out and thrust back in.

"Like this?" I breathed.

"Harder."

***

Eva moaned as she rolled onto her side to face me. I had made her come three times before I gave myself over to the pleasure. Sweat still clung to our skin and our hearts were still racing, but our bodies were satisfied. . .for now.

"You're not so rough with, Ari," she whispered as she moved closer.

My eyes dropped to her had when she placed it on my stomach. "No."

"Can I ask you why?"

I licked my lips and frowned up at the ceiling as I debated my answer. Reaching down, I slipped my fingers through hers and raised her hand to my lips to press a kiss to her knuckles.

"Ariana doesn't like it. . .rough. She likes slow and sweet," I explained.

"You don't like that?" Eva asked.

"I do." I looked at her. "I love the fact that the two of you have different tastes. It's what makes this work perfectly."

"Good." Her lips curled up into a smile.

Slipping a hand into her hair, I pulled her face to mine and kissed her. A sigh slipped from her mouth into mine. Eva hooked one of her legs over my hips and freed her fingers from mine to slip her hand over my stomach and lower.

"Have you found anything yet?" she asked as the kiss ended. "About you parents."

"No." I told her what I'd told Ariana before she left.

"I'll help you if you want me too."

"I'll take all the help I can get." Gripping her thigh, I pulled her leg higher as I pressed my thigh to her pussy. "That can wait for later. I have a few other things in mind."

The apartment door suddenly slammed shut, making both of us tense.

"Didn't you lock the door?"

"I did," I told her as I sat up.

Ariana appeared in the doorway just as I was about to stand up. Dropping everything to the ground, she closed the distance and threw herself at me. I wrapped my arms around her and held her to my chest as she started sobbing.

"What happened?" I asked her. "Did someone hurt you?"

Ariana shook her head.

"Did you have a panic attack?" Eva questioned.

Again she shook her head.

Frowning, I pulled back and cupped her face so she'd look at me. "Tell me what happened, doll."

"E-Ethan's l-leaving," Ariana cried.

"Leaving?" Eva placed her hand on her sister's shoulder, making her look at her. "He's probably going on one of his camping trips. You know he likes going up to the cabin."

Ariana shook her head and wiped a tear from her cheek. "It doesn't sound like he's c-coming back, Eva. Ethan's leaving for good."
