Phoenix POV

I slammed my hands against the shower wall in frustration. For the last two months, we had been searching for Rosette, with no luck.

After the night I awakened and she attacked, everyone and myself had decided to search for her before she found us and caught us off guard.

The witch seemed to be hiding out somewhere we couldn't find and I couldn't help, but feel uneasy about it.

"Are you okay in there, love?" Zero called from outside the bathroom. After Rosette's threat of returning, my adoptive siblings, and I decided it'd be best for us to move back to the mansion for the time being. We didn't want to risk the students at the academy being harmed.

The Headmaster, of course objected and even started a fuss over our departure, but gave up when he realized it was hopeless.

Then there was Zero, who insisted on coming with us and staying by my side. No matter how much I objected to this, he wouldn't hear of it, claiming he wasn't losing me again after so many times in the past.

That brings me back to reality with me standing in the shower, the water running down my back as I thought of where Rosette could be hiding.

"Phoenix?" Zero called again.

"I'm fine." I lied through my teeth. In reality, I was really frustrated from our searches coming up hopeless.

Where could that woman be?
What are her plans?
Why is she remaining in the shadows?

These thoughts we still running through my mind as I shut the water off and wrapped my towel around myself.

Sighing, I touched the spot on my back where my wings grow from. A couple nights after my awakening, my phoenix wings retreated back into my body, causing a huge set of pain to run through me. I didn't know how to react at first, but then I tried concentrating and I grew my wings back. I practiced growing them and having then disappear for days before I finally had the hang of it. Now, two months later, I could say I was an expert.

Slowly, I opened the bathroom door, grateful Zero had walked away. I wouldn't want him seeing my expression of worry.

Padding down the hallway on the plush carpeting, I entered my bedroom.

Instantly, I knew I wasn't alone and realized he was sitting on the large queen sized bed. When we moved back to the mansion, Zero also insisted on staying in my room with me. I was grateful for him doing this, but it made it awfully hard not to give myself to him with him so close.

"Phoenix. . ." He whispered and my body instantly grew warm.

Not now, Phoenix! There's a witch after you! I thought to myself as I rummaged through my dresser drawer for clothes.

"Phoenix. . . " When I didn't respond to him, he stood from the bed and walked over to me. "My love. . ."

He started stroking my bare shoulder, causing me to become distracted from my clothing search.

"Phoenix. . ." I still didn't respond as he leaned down and kissed my shoulder. "Why are you ignoring me?"

I couldn't take it anymore as he began to leave a trail of kisses across my shoulders and back.

I spun around, pressing my lips against his heatedly, wrapping my hands around his neck.

He responded to my kiss with just as much passion.

"Zero!" I giggled when he picked me up bridal style and carried me over to our bed.

"Do you know how desirable you look right now with nothing but a towel on?" He whispered, looking at me with lust-filled eyes. He then began to remove my towel, gaining a little gasp from my lips.

"Zero, we can't! They may hear us downstairs! Kaname and Yuki invited the others over today." I moaned out as he lead a trail of kisses from my neck all the way down my stomach.

"Then let's give them something to talk about." Was all he said as he began to kiss lower and lower, stopping at my nub where he lightly licked, me grabbing the sheets tightly on either side of me.

"Zero!" I gasped as his tongue began to move inside me, causing waves of deep pleasure to run through my entire body.

Zero POV

I did wonders on her womanhood, causing her to buck wildly under me.

"Zero, please. . ." It felt wonderful hearing her beg. Ever since the night she awakened, our passion and desire for each other had grown more and more and that night, I just couldn't take it anymore. I wanted her and I knew she wanted me.

"Zero! My gosh!" She screamed out as I continued my work on her.

In my pants, I could feel myself harden. The more and more I licked her, the more my groin ached.

"Phoenix, I can't take it anymore. I want you." I began to remove my clothing, causing my beloved to blush deeply.

"I want you too, Zero." She muttered out loud, trying to contain her gasp as I rubbed my manhood along her entrance.

I gently entered her, gaining a soft moan from her beautiful lips.

"Zero!"

Yuki POV

"I'll be right back, guys. I'm going to see if Zero and Phoenix would like to join in our game of cards." I told everyone.

I made my way up the stairs, giddily smiling. It was a good day having everyone in one place. The only thing missing were my best friend and adoptive sister.

"Zero!"

I heard a scream from Phoenix's room and almost burst through the door, but then I heard moans.

"Yes, Zero! Yes."

"Phoenix..."

I blushed deep red, realizing what they were doing.

Spinning on my heel, I began running back down the stairs, bumping right into Kaname.

"Oh, sorry, Kaname." I apologized quickly.

"What's wrong, love?" He looked at me quizzical. "You look like you saw a ghost."

"I-Uh. . ." I blushed even deeper. Looking up towards where Phoenix's room was.

"Ah, I see. You heard an intimate moment." Suddenly, Kaname pulled me into his arms. He tilted my chin so that my eyes met his. "I guess one day we'll have to make sure they hear our intimate moment so it's even."

He pressed his lips against mine then, passion and desire flooding my body.

"Kaname!" I gasped when his hands trailed up under my shirt.

He responded by squeezing my breast.

He kissed the side of my neck, causing shivers to run down my back.

"Shall we make our way upstairs or would you rather get caught?" He whispered in my ear.

"Upstairs."

He scooped me into his arms, leading into our bedroom at the end of the hall.

"Kaname!" I gasped again as he began pulling my clothes off once the door was shut firmly. He trailed kisses all over my body, causing me to ache for him.

"Yuki, I need you." He whispered in my ear and I couldn't take it anymore. I proceeded to pull his clothes off as he had mine and kissed him on his lips heatedly.

"I need you too."

He then picked me up and carried me over to our bed, having his way with me.

Phoenix POV

I moaned as Zero thrust into me over and over again, my head spinning with ecstasy.

I pulled him down to me as he thrust in deep, kissing him passionately.

That's when my throat grew extremely dry and I felt my eyes turned crimson.

"Zero. . ." I whispered through my haze.

He looked at me with the same crimson eyes and an unspoken agreement occurred between us.

We sank our fangs into each other, drinking deeply as we continued making love.

Yuki POV

I couldn't help, but moan out as Kaname thrust into me from behind.

He intertwined his fingers with mine on the bed, increasing his pace.

"Yes, Kaname! Yes! Faster!" I shouted out and he obliged, increasing his pace even more.

We continued our love making for several more moments before both of us climaxed and fell down onto the bed, Kaname pulling me close to him.

"I love you, Kaname." I whispered, staring up into his beautiful wine-colored eyes.

"I love you too, Yuki." He responded, kissing my forehead. "You make me so happy."

Phoenix POV

We fell down onto the bed, panting.

"I love you, Zero Kiryu. . ." I whispered to him. Snuggling close to his side.

"I love you too, Phoenix Thorne. More than anything in the world." He kissed my cheek, his words causing me to blush very deeply.

"We should get dressed and head downstairs before they come looking for us." I suggested, climbing out of our bed and padding my way over to my dresser.

Zero followed my lead and was at the dresser mere seconds later.

"You should wear something nice." He whispered, kissing my bare shoulder again, sending a fresh wave of pleasure through my body.

"Zero!" I gasped out as his lips made their way up to my neck and then my own lips.

My body instantly grew warm for him again as we kissed passionately.

Deepening our kiss, he pressed me against the dresser, pressing himself closer.

"Zero, we really should go downstairs." I tried being the one to maintain control over my hormones.

He just growled, running his hands down my naked body and stopping at my womanhood, running his hands over my nub.

"You're already wet for another round though. . ." He purred in my ear and I could feel his erection with how close we were.

"Zero!" I punched him playfully and pulled away. Walking over to my closet, I purposely pulled out a sexy red knee-length dress smiling wickedly. "Is this nice enough?"

"Oh yes." He smiled, pleased as he himself, pulled out a pair of black jeans and simple red button down silk shirt.

We ran into the bathroom down the hall, showering quickly and then began to dress in silence back in our room.

"Remind me again, why I have to dress this nicely?" I asked as I put on makeup quickly.

"Because Kaname and I are taking everyone out to a fancy dinner." He replied and I rose my eyebrows. "Why do you think everyone's here tonight?"

Yuki POV

Kaname and I got ready quickly and went downstairs to rejoin the others. Seems they had finished their game of cards and now were getting ready themselves.

I smiled happily again at the thought of having everyone together.

"What brought all of this on, Kaname?" I asked him once everyone was ready. Well almost everyone. Phoenix and Zero still seemed to be upstairs, getting ready. "What made you plan this?"

"Oh, it wasn't my idea. It was Kiryu's. Tonight he plans on proposing to our Phoenix and wanted to share the moment with everyone." He replied calmly and I couldn't help become giddy again.

"Really? Oh my goodness! He's finally going to." I jumped up and down.

"Finally! I've been waiting forever for Kiryu to pop the question to Lady Phoenix." Ruka seemed just as excited as me.

"Shh! They're coming." Aido warned as the aforementioned couple made their decent down the staircase.

I smiled again, taking in both their appearances. With the red silky dress, black lace up heels, and the way she wore her auburn hair in a simple ponytail, my adoptive sister looked just like a model. Looking over to my best friend, I realized he too appeared like a model wearing his black jeans, black dress shoes, and silk red button down shirt.

"They look like they're meant to be together." I whispered, feeling my heart squeeze.

"Just like us." Kaname whispered beside me, kissing the top of my head and causing me to blush deep red.

Phoenix POV

I blushed as everyone watched us make our way downstairs.

Did they know what we did? Were we too loud?

Oh please tell me we weren't loud!

"Relax. They don't know." Zero whispered to me, interlacing our fingers and squeezing my hand gently.

"Ready for this, everyone?" Yuki asked and I didn't miss the blush she seemed to have on her face as Kaname whispered something into her ear.

A moment later we all entered the limo that waited out front for us and we're on our way to the restaurant.
