Juniper's tongue curled around mine. We let our lips taste each other rhythmically and I had to admit that this whole atmosphere between us was just fiery.
After all, this wasn't just about seducing her, it was about my life and my peanut's, so it all seemed that much more real to me.
"How much time do we have left for ourselves," she breathed, separating her lips from mine to kiss painfully slowly down my cheek until she reached my neck and I had to groan again from this force of extremes.
The passion was tense and if the door hadn't slammed open behind us at that moment I probably wouldn't have been able to stop, even though I kept thinking about keno.
His smell... His deep, solid thrusts... His overall dominant aura...
"I can smell your arousal," Juniper whispered, grinning, but then let go of me to turn to face the vampires, who were re-entering the room, one at a time.
Everyone except Gloria and Sandrino, who were probably already dancing and preparing for my death.
"I would love you both so-"
"Say it and I'll turn you into a stinky raccoon," Juniper interrupted the creep, who was already clutching his pants in lust as he eyed us.
"And so wild and uninhibited," came another, but before this mood threatened to change again, Gloria and Sandrino finally came back into the room, who had probably dressed up extra.
While his skinny body was encased in a dark red suit, my horror aunt wore a really ghastly, ancient-looking green dress.
"So," she said, looking at me kind of wistfully. "Since we've tried everything we can to get rid of that ruthless alpha and he didn't leave, now his only option to keep him alive, my niece, will be eliminated."
"Don't call me that," I blurted out angrily and I was about to take a step towards her when I felt this comforting warmth throughout my body, which seemed to calm me down immediately.
One look at Juniper's back, who was standing right in front of me, was enough to notice by her interlaced fingers that she was using magic to stop me from doing something stupid.
"Oh, Aria," Gloria said regretfully, slowly putting one foot in front of the other and placing herself in the middle of the room. "It's really a pity that marking has made you what you are now. A really smart, beautiful woman who now only acts as a bridal machine..."
My eyes glared at her and I wanted to jump at her with a snarl, but Juniper spoke up and played her part perfectly.
deception and illusions...
"Oh yeah, you're right about that. She's a damn seduction," she breathed, stepping up to Gloria to give me a wink unseen by the rest of her. "I wanted her so badly, and yet, she chose that stinky mutt."
"Yes, that's how wolves are. Strong until their mate shows up and turns them into mindless females who just thirst to be allowed to submit," agreed Gloria the witch and our plan actually worked. Gloria genuinely seemed to think that even Juniper only saw me as a form of gratification and would have no problem killing me.
"Well, now I know why I'm here and since she's denying me my only pleasure, it would be an honor to make her really suffer."
Juniper looked at Gloria for her words and I could feel an invisible magic enveloping the whole room. It was like the air was electric and I really believed it would all work out.
"How are you going to do it?" Gloria whispered excitedly, seeming excited just by the thought of my death, but I knew Juniper was forcing her passion by not taking her eyes from hers.
"I need alcohol! A lot of alcohol with a lot of volume!" Juniper whispered and looked at Sandrino with her bright, poisonous green eyes, but somehow he still seemed very composed.
"For what?" he wanted to know and was suddenly hissed at by Gloria in a hostile manner. She succumbed to Juniper and became a slave to her seduction.
Ridiculous... And tell me I'm an underworthy doggy...
"Don't ask questions! Bring her what she needs!", Gloria instructed him and Sandrino immediately disappeared from the room with two other vampires while Juniper put her hands on Gloria's cheeks and forced her to look over at me.
"Isn't she beautiful?" she whispered with a grin and Gloria just looked at me absently. There was no expression in her eyes anymore. Juniper had taken her own thoughts, just like she had taken mine before.
"Yes, to die for," Gloria breathed and I gulped, thinking that everything had to work out to survive. Of course we could have fought, but my wolf was weak and I didn't know what it was like with pregnant wolves... Was I even allowed to transform?! Nobody had ever prepared me for something like this...
"Here!", Sandrino tore me out of my thoughts and I watched as Juniper let go of Gloria's face and turned to Sandrino.
"Thank you sweetie," she giggled sweetly, pointing around the room while elegantly pivoting on her own axis. "Now you're spreading the liquor to all corners and sides of this room. I want a firework of emotions!" declared Juniper, raising her petite arms in the air as if the idea of killing me really aroused and delighted her.
But it was just our plan, wasn't it? At least I hoped so, because she played her role well...too well...
"It's going to be fun," the creep said, coming close to me again and this time without Gloria or Sandrino stopping him. The two of them were busy with the alcohol and Juniper and I was now on my own.
"Watching me die?" I asked him and at the same moment I felt my hair getting wet and cold. The strong-smelling alcohol ran through every strand of my dark hair and across my face, making my eyes sting slightly and the taste spreading to my lips.
"Fucking you when you're dead," he breathed, and I began to understand why no one liked vampires. They were stupid. What did he think the alcohol was good for anyway? If I died here, only ashes would be left of me...
Did he really want to fuck a pile of ashes?
"I'm looking forward to it," I gave him back challengingly and then turned my back to climb onto the table while the entire room slowly smelled of alcohol and the others all lined up in front of me, except for Juniper, who right next to me.
"Ready?" she asked me and I nodded to tense my body in full concentration.
