"Mistress, Master has requested your presence in the sitting room at this time. Should they come on time they should be here any time." Flinx says coming into his owner's bedroom. Helen was just finishing up getting ready and the empty breakfast dishes showing that she had enjoyed her breakfast earlier sitting on the table next to the window seat.

Helen turns towards Flinx and gives him a bright smile. "Of course, breakfast was better than ever before, I couldn't eat it fast enough. Thank you."

Flinx turns a bright red with her compliment. He has been watching her trying to decide the foods that would tempt her the most. He loves Helen and wants her to eat well and healthy. He is pleased to notice that she already shows a healthier look than when he came not so long ago.

Helen goes over to him, and they both leave the room. Helen no sooner takes a seat near Desmond than the guests were shown into the room.

Desmond has the three females array themselves in front of them. "Flinx, the one you know as Felix has told us that you defended him against the abuse that others at the restaurant heaped on him. You three alone tried to help him, so you three will be allowed to choose your reward."

There was something about his voice that catches at Helen and Flinx's attention.

At their looks Desmond explains, "They will hear the words and make their choice. Should they choose to not accept employment here they will be compensated monetarily and then their memories will be changed. They won't remember anything about the supernatural world being mentioned. They will not be harmed; this I promise you both but you especially Flinx."

They both nod believing him and turn back to those standing in front of them. "Cain closed the restaurant last night because of the criminal abuse given to Felix. I am going to offer you employment as servants in my house. As such you will also be expected to be blood donors for those of us that are vampires. In return you will earn a fair wage, be given board as well. So, you will be able to save your entire paychecks should you choose to stay until the time you choose to leave. At the time of your leaving, you won't be able to remember much but as long as you do as you are told you will have pleasant memories of working here and you will also be given decent recommendations for your next job. Having worked for me and getting a good recommendation from me will go a long way towards you getting the job you are applying for.

"The next option will be to be bound to Felix and become his pet as he is mine and Helen's. You will serve him first and foremost, then myself and Helen, then if he agrees others. That will put you above the other servants, but the binding is tighter to become a pet and there is less freedom, and it will be more difficult for you to leave should you choose that route. Also, the punishments for breaking the rules are stronger. Should you continue to break the rules after receiving a punishment you will be punished even more painfully. Finally, should it be determined that you will not behave your bonding will be severed and you will be taken and left with few memories of the time here. Money to start over, but you won't have a good recommendation, in fact you won't remember working here at all."

Flinx and Helen are both looking at Desmond in shock. Neither realized that Flinx would be able to be a pet owner being a pet himself.

"Yes, he can be, and I have worked out how to bind them without him marrying them." Desmond explains to them when they don't stop looking at him.

"What about Mr. Robertson?" Helen asks.

Desmond smiles slyly and looks at the man waiting so patiently for his turn. Just having Desmond look at him has his body reacting to him. "As I said last night, I wish to become a partner with him on a new restaurant. I'll be going over the contract once the females are dealt with."

There was something in Desmond's tone that sent a shiver down Flinx's back. He feels for the females before him should they decide to break the rules that come with living here. The rules aren't hard to live with. It's just a matter of giving respect to those that are above you. In this case that means Desmond and Helen absolutely, he's a little unclear about Sasha, but gives her respect anyway. That girl can whip his ass every time in the gym as she teaches him how to fight. But then Flinx is inherently a respectful person anyway. He couldn't imagine being disrespectful to anyone there at the house unless they were disrespecting his mistress. He figures that Desmond would deal with anyone stupid enough to disrespect him.

He looks the females over and knows that Deedee would be respectful and wouldn't have any problems with the rules. But looking over the other two he has his doubts and hopes that they don't choose to become his pets. He's not sure he wants to deal with them on such an intimate level. Not that he expects them to want or need sex, they take care of that between themselves just fine he figures. But there is something he just doesn't fully trust about them. He has no reason to have that feeling and has no idea how to put it into words. He will allow them to make their own decision and hopes they won't force him to do something he'd find distasteful.

The more he studies the females the more he's sure of what they will choose. He finds himself flinching when the two say they will bind themselves to him as his pets. He smiles as Deedee says the same.

Desmond has Flinx kiss each female and as they do, he does the binding spell that will make the females belong to Flinx. As the binding finishes on Deedee, he feels an incredibly strong sexual pull towards her, not the other two but most definitely Deedee.

Azreal chooses that time to make an entrance. As he surveys those in the room his eyes stop on Deedee. "Who is she?"

"This is Deedee, she just chose to become my pet along with the other two. They were the ones that defended and tried to help me." Flinx has more than a healthy respect for the death angel. He has no desire to ever make the angel angry with him. He knows that Azreal can take him down easier than swatting a fly.

"I can't believe this, I never thought to find a Destined and it turns out that she's a human. I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful human before in my life though." Azreal says that last part like he didn't remember that he was speaking out loud.

After that Sasha came in to take the newest members of the household to show them their rooms. She is perhaps even less pleased than Flinx about their choice. Even less once she hears the angel's words. She's afraid that there will be problems between the angel and Flinx because of her.
