Hot Complications (Sims Story)

[beautyxxdark]

The Hilton Household

 

Things have been rather turbulent in the Hilton household recently. Arabella secured footage of Humberto meeting with another woman - and easily won the divorce case against him.

 

Thanks to this, Humberto finds himself thrown out of the house with hardly any money - nor a job, because his old employer did not like the negative press his divorce gave the company.

He somehow manages to get hold of an apartment in San Myshuno, where he sets up a photo studio in one of the bedrooms. He was always good at photography; maybe he can do some freelance work.

 

But what he really wants is Jade.

Beautiful, gorgeous, sexy Jade.

She comes over the moment he calls.

 

At first, they simply have some fun in the studio, Humberto using Jade as a subject to test the lighting.

 

Then, he cannot wait any longer.

"I want you to stay with me", he says. "You are the one I gave up everything for, Jade. Please. Stay with me."

He drops to one knee and pulls out a ring - a simple one, since he could not afford one that is covered in diamonds. It does not matter; Jade pulls him up to his feet and kisses him.

"I'll stay", she whispers.

 

He watches as she sends a text to her current husband - Joaquin Le Chien - saying that she is leaving him and marrying someone else. It seems... so simple. Far from what his and Arabella's divorce was.

Especially when, in the next moment, Jade jumps into his arms.

"I want you."

 

His body hums in response, his mind turning fuzzy, his cock rigid. Everything in him zones in on one thing; Jade. Wanting Jade. Needing Jade.

They forget about dinner that night. Sex seems to satisfy them enough.

 

Back in Arabella's house, Daniel is preparing for a date. As one of the most popular kids in school, it is only fair that he dates one of the most popular girls. Yes, she is kind of cute - but it is mostly for the status.

 

Their date at a local coffee shop is simple and sweet, more to show off to the rest of the teenagers passing by. Before she leaves, Daniel steals a kiss. She blushes.

"Daniel..."

"Relax, babe", he says. "We're a thing now. Kissing is kind of what we do."

 

Arabella, meanwhile, is busy cuddling with her newborn son, Tristan. Well, kind of busy. She is making sure he falls asleep before her date gets there.

 

She spends some time on herself in front of the mirror, making sure her lates injections covered up all the lines.

 

And then her date arrives.

Jackson Robertson - whom she has been seeing since before he left his former wife, Nancy Landgraab. Who helped set up her own divorce to Humberto. Who is the father of Tristan and, honestly, her perfect partner.

 

"Is it too soon to start planning our wedding?" he asks as they curl up on the couch. Arabella smiles.

"I don't think so. Spring sounds like a rather lovely time for it, does it not?"

The Le Chien Household

 

Things are spinning out of control after Jade up and left the house. The toddlers are fighting at all times - mostly because Zoey is still jealous of Cassie and keeps making her sad and angry.

 

However, Joaquin never arrives to see Zoey make Cassie sad and angry. He only sees Cassie being mean to Zoey - and Cassie has by now become quite used to getting reprimanded by her father.

Spoiler

Ellie has decided to get back at everyone in the entire world by becoming the most famous actress ever. Her school work is getting pushed to the side - and her grades are dropping.

 

Clay's grades are also dropping, but for different reasons. He is just not feeling it. Homework is hard. He prefers to hang out in town with his friends.

 

"Dad, can I go out with my friends tonight?" he asks when Joaquin is on the way to work.

"What about your homework?" Joaquin asks.

"Already done", Clay lies. Joaquin never checks anyway.

"Alright. Then I don't see why you can't go - but don't be late!"

 

Clay is not late. He never is. But, before going back inside, he pops one of his pills. They were given to him some weeks ago by one of his friends - and they honestly help with the stress so much.

 

Of course, he wakes up feeling all weird in the morning. It passes when he gets another pill in him, though. And he always takes one before breakfast. And one after the first class. And one after lunch. And one before dinner. And one before bed.

 

"Mr Reed asked about your homeworks today - again", Joseph says before dinner.

"Huh?" Clay says, daydreaming as usual.

"Well, he's not getting mine", Ellie scoffs.

"Why?" Joseph asks. "Don't you worry about your grades?"

"Ugh, you're acting like a parent", Ellie snaps. "You're not, Joseph! And you can tell Mr Reed that his class is bo-ring!"

 

Joseph decides to blow off some steam by taking a walk. He is soon joined by another individual, introducing themselves as Morgyn Ember. To Joseph's surprise, Morgyn is a keen listener - and the two decide to meet up again soon to destress.

 

Ellie has another way of destressing - a long bath. In the bathroom she has claimed as hers. None of her brothers - or toddler sisters - can throw her out, or berate her for spending time in that bath until midnight.

This night, however, Ellie finds herself straightening up in the bath before midnight has struck. She steps out of the water, throws on a coat, and walks down the stairs.

 

The strange pull guides her around the house, through her family's orchard. A lemon bounces against her cheek. She does not stop.

 

There is a portal at the side of the house, previously cloaked and hidden from human eyes. Ellie stops in front of it and waits.

A teenage alien steps through, looking overjoyed at seeing her.

"Hello, sister. Fancy seeing you here."

 

The boy walks around Ellie and starts feeling her up. She leans back into him with a moan.

"Glad I spotted you on the camera, sister", the boy says in her ear. "You've grown."

He pinches her nipples through her coat - and she moans again.

"I'm going to summon our brother. Won't that be fun? How about you remove these clothes while you wait."

 

The boy's named Ludo Darling. He was one of the children born from Elissa Darling's experimentations on the human Marcus Flex. He has since been trained on SixAm in the art of spying - and assimilation.

Now, he summons one of his brothers - Emmanuel - to the house as well. They do everything together.

 

Including fucking their biological, human half-sister.

 

"Well?" Ludo says as they let up, Ellie lying prone between them, staring up at the sky.

"I admit", Emmanuel says, "she was a fun one."

"Oh, it will get better", Ludo says, grinning. "Watch this."

He pushes his powers into Ellie's brain, planting a seed there that will grow and evolve. When she sees them again - as humans - she will desire them, and only them. The desire will grow into desperate need after their second round of sex. And after the third...

"Well done", Emmanuel says as his brother finishes. Ludo grins and walks towards the portal.

"Just securing our future, brother."

The Corley Household

 

Luna spends more time in her overdrive state now than she does out of it. She still manages to keep up with the housework; she cooks, cleans, and takes care of the children - who do not seem to notice the difference in her.

 

However, she does not eat any of the food she cooks herself. She can no longer consume it.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

Instead, she waits for Samuel to arrive back home. She greets him outside the door.

"Hungry", she moans against his lips.

"Of course", he replies, then brings her inside the downstairs bedroom.

 

For a few weeks now, all that Luna has been able to consume is cum. So Samuel feeds her - by having her give him blowjobs.

In a way, it is beneficial for both of them. He gets a blowjob, and she - so far - seems to be able to sustain herself on it.

 

When he cums, she swallows down his entire load, smiling blissfully.

"Feeling better?" Samuel asks.

"Yes", she mumbles. Her eyes blink slowly. She might be able to sustain herself on cum, but she has little energy left after a round of sex.

"I'll take care of the children", Samuel tells her. "Go to bed."

 

Luna does as she is asked, going upstairs and falling asleep immediately.

As the drug is still active in her system - despite being in overdrive state - Samuel has found that she still obeys his direct commands. Unless he tells her to wake up now, she will not - until she is rested. And, as he had kept an eye on that as well, he knows that she needs at least ten hours of sleep per day.

 

Which means that he has the evening free, once the kids are taken care of.

And that means he is able to call Katrina.

"Want to go out to dinner with me?"

"Of course", she replies.

 

Samuel is making sure to act the perfect gentleman around Katrina - a lonely husband looking to set right what was done wrong. It appeals to her, considering her past.

And it makes it all too easy to get her to listen to his suggestions.

"I'm worried about what Gina is about to do", Katrina admits. "She is determined to avenge Jacques."

"Let's not worry about that too much", Samuel assures her. "But, if you are worried about something happening to you and what that will mean to the children, how about editing your will?"

Katrina considers it.

"I suppose that is one way to do it."

 

Samuel falls asleep with a smile next to Luna that night. Things seem to be going as planned.

When he stirs in the morning, he mutters to Luna to wake up. She has had her ten hours - and now she will be hungry again. And he would like a little morning fun.

The Whitlock Household

 

Bradley keeps entertaining himself with new toys for him and Miriam - and it pleases him immensely to see her submit to all that he decides to put her through. When he married her he never thought she would be that easy to dominate, but it is a nice surprise.

 

Now, Miriam has also given him a second son - Wesley.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

The time Miriam spends with Wesley - and with their other son, Blaine - means she has little time for anything else.

 

Meaning; the twins are getting even more ignored.

Sure, they were allowed to go with Bradley and Miriam to the Landgraab wedding, but most of the time they are sent up to the attic, out of the way for the rest of the family.

"This is so frustrating!" Emilia complains. "How are we supposed to find evidence of our real family if we're locked up in here all day and night?"

 

"Well", Isabel says, "I think I might have found a way."

Emilia gapes at her twin.

"You have? What?"

"I read this article in a magazine at school. Apparently, some people claim that there is a gateway in Glimmerbrook leading to this mansion with all kinds of knowledge. If it's real, I'm sure there's information there about our parents."

 

Emilia jumps up from the bed.

"Then let's go! Let's sneak out tonight, head to Glimmerbrook, and find that gateway!"

For once, Isabel does not even try to protest. Maybe because this is something she desperately wants as well - and there really is no other way for them to get to Glimmerbrook than to sneak out.

 

The cab drops them off seemingly in the middle of nowhere.

"Now what?" Emilia asks, looking around. Isabel purses her lips.

"Let's head to the river. There's a path going right by it; maybe it will lead us to the right place."

 

After following the winding path for what seems like forever, Emilia stops walking.

"Izzy, this isn't working. There's nothing..."

Isabel stops at the next bend in the path and gasps.

"Em! Em, it's here!"

 

Emilia rushes up to her twin sister, gaping at the portal. Holding hands, they step through - into another dimension.

"Woah", Emilia gasps.

"This is amazing", Isabel agrees.

 

There are others around, coming through other gateways or their own, all walking towards the mansion. Some talk with one another, some keep their noses buried in books. The twins follow and easily get inside the mansion.

Isabel quickly locates the grand library and starts looking through the books. They have mostly strange names, but a few seem to be chronologies of recent events.

 

"Em, I'm going to go through some of these", Isabel says to her sister. "See what you can find as well."

Emilia nods, but her eyes wander from one strange thing to another. Big cauldrons. Glowing symbols etched into floors and walls. And people carrying... wands?

 

"Hey, you're new."

Emilia lets out a surprised scream and spins around. A boy her own age stands in front of her, giving her a onceover.

"Yes, I... yes", she agrees. He nods.

"I'm Morgyn, one of the Sages."

"One of the what?"

"The Sages. You know, the ones who keep magic in line..."

 

"Magic?" Emilia gasps. "You're a wizard?"

"Spellcaster", Morgyn says, a faint smile touching his lips, "and I see you stumbled upon this place."

"Yes, but... you have magic? You can teach me magic?"

Morgyn smiles again.

"Sure. You'd be my first pupil."

He takes out a wand from some hidden compartment of his jacket and waves it about. A strange energy fills Emilia's body - warm and cold, soft and hard at the same time. She gasps, blinking to refocus her eyes - and then realizes she can read the strange titles on the books around them.

 

Isabel closes the book with a sigh and walks back to the library. She notices Emilia by one of the tables, with another book in front of her. Even from afar, Isabel can tell that the title is pure gibberish.

"Em, really?" she sighs. "Can't you just pick a book that actually tells us something?"

 

To Isabel's surprise, Emilia flies up with a giddy laugh.

"Izzy, I can read it! I can read all of them!"

"What's wrong with you?" Isabel asks with a frown.

"Nothing, silly", Emilia replies. "Just take a look at this!"

 

She starts waving her arms about - and Isabel's eyes widen as sparks fly from Emilia's fingers.

"What is going on?"

"Izzy, this place is about magic", Emilia explains. "I just met a guy - Morgyn - and he gave me magic powers. He said he was a Sage and he would teach me how to use magic. Maybe that's what we need to find our parents! You should find a way to get magic as well!"

 

Isabel hesitates. She would prefer to go about this the traditional way - but she has already travelled to this place through a magic gateway.

She catches a girl in a yellow dress by the arm and asks about the Sages. The girl smiles.

"Come, I'll introduce you to Simeon."

Simeon turns out to be an older Spellcaster, who gently explains what having magic entails to Isabel when she asks.

 

"Are you sure you're interested in becoming one of our kind?" he finishes. Isabel hesitates again - but then she nods.

"Yes."

 

The girls spend all night and most of the morning in the mansion - located in what is called the Magic Realm. When they eventually get home, Miriam is waiting for them.

"Where have you two been?" she demands to know.

"We..." Isabel begins.

"Shut your mouth! I know you've been out partying, seeing boys, drinking."

 

"We didn't go to parties!" Emilia protests.

"Filthy liar", Miriam scoffs. "You're both grounded. Up to the attic, both of you!"

 

Emilia has never felt so angry before. The sooner they can find their real family, the better.

"I'm going to bed", Isabel says, blinking away tears.

When Isabel is asleep, Emilia casts a silencing spell, in order to call Morgyn.

"I've been grounded", she says. "I can't come back to the Realm tonight."

"I'll come get you out, then", Morgyn replies.

 

When the rest of the house quiets, a glowing orb appears in the room next to Emilia's bed. She is already dressed - and grins as she touches the orb, which brings her outside.

"That was so cool", she says, giving Morgyn a high five. He grins.

"Ready to train?"

"Yep!"

 

After several hours of practice, the two fall onto the snow next to one another, staring up at the stars.

"They're different here", Morgyn notes.

"From the Realm?"

"Yes... they're further away."

 

Emilia silently watches the stars for a bit more, before getting back to her feet.

"It's almost morning", she says. "I'd better get back inside."

Morgyn rises as well and nods.

"I'll be back tomorrow."
Emilia pulls him into a tight hug.

"Thank you, Morgyn", she whispers.

 

"Hey", Morgyn says, pulling back slightly, "don't mention it. You're my student, right? I have to take care of you."

"It's still very kind", Emilia says. They're standing so close. Morgyn smells of herbs and snow. One of his hands slowly moves up to her face, one of hers to his shoulder, and then they are kissing. Her hand slides up into his hair and he sighs into her mouth.

"Emilia..."

 

She breaks the kiss and steps back, biting her lip.

"I... should probably get back inside."

Morgyn clears his throat.

"Yes. I suppose so."

The orb appears again, but before she leaves, she looks back up at him. He smiles. She returns it.

Morgyn remains outside for a while after Emilia is transported back into her room. Kissing her felt amazing - and terrifying. She does not know the truth yet.

Maybe it is better if she does not.

The Houlihan-Beck Household

 

Danielle recently gave birth to twin boys - Leon and Zamir.

 

Danielle is over the moon. She is already planning for the future - a house in the suburbs, a dog, a sister for the boys...

Marcel is not as keen on this plan.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

He needs to get out. And there is only one place he can consider going to.

He sends a text to Ginny, asking to come over.

 

Of course, is Ginny's answer. Marcel leaves the apartment immediately.

Arriving at Ginny's house in Glimmerbrook, he immediately gets introduced to her cousin, Charlotte. He greets her - as is appropriate - but then continues to flirt with Ginny. He needs a distraction from his sudden life as a family man.

 

While flirting with Ginny, Marcel notices Charlotte pull out an object from her sleeve. A stick?

She waves it about in the air, sparkles errupting from the tip. Marcel opens his mouth to ask about it, but then the sparkles soar into him.

 

Marcel blinks. Once. Twice. His eyes lock on Ginny - and his heart speeds up. Ginny smiles.

"Is everything alright, Marcel?" she asks. Marcel's mouth feels dry.

"I..."

"Yes?"

He steps forward, as if a magnet is pulling him to her.

"I love you."

Ginny smiles, opens her arms, and pulls him into a kiss.

 

Marcel's heart is still beating wildly when Ginny steps back. He opens his mouth to proclaim his love once more - but she pulls out the same sort of stick that Charlotte used before. The sparks hit him once again.

 

Ginny smiles as Marcel's body falls under her control.

"That's cool", Charlotte notes. "Is that the minionize spell?"
"Yes", Ginny agrees, walking around Marcel's unmoving body. "At its highest level. I will remove one layer later - I am not interested in a mindless slave. At the moment."

She flicks a finger - and Marcel starts walking towards the house and up the stairs.

 

Marcel strips off his clothes and kneels in front of the bed, waiting for Ginny to join him. Once she is in the room, she removes the top layer of the spell - giving him the ability to at least think for himself. His body, however, obeys her.

She sees his eyes widen.

"G... Gi..."

 

"Don't fret, my dear", Ginny says. "This is just a bit of fun. I won't make you do things in here that you would not normally consent to, either way; I just enjoy using these powers for a bit of control."

She leans forward slightly, watching his throat bob as he swallows.

"Be a good boy in here - and I'll let you have even more freedom around here."

 

Charlotte puts up a silencing spell to keep the sounds of her cousin playing with her new toy out of the rest of the house. She is a bit jealous; why does Ginny always end up with the boys?

Maybe there is a way to remedy that.

She opens up their joint computer and looks for ideas online - ideas that do not necessarily involve magic. A dating website. Perfect.

 

She soon gets chatting to an older man - Hector Brannon. He is looking for someone to have fun with.

Well, Charlotte thinks, I am certainly fun.

She invites him over the same night.

 

They move fast. A bit of flirting, a few kisses, and then they are naked in bed. Charlotte rejoices in the feeling of being pounded, hard and fast. While Ginny likes dominating, she enjoys letting go. And even though Hector is a bit older, he certainly knows how to fuck.

 

"Now", Hector says after they are finished and re-dressed, "this might be sudden, but I am an older man. And I would very much enjoy not having to live the rest of my life alone."

He drops to one knee and pulls out a ring - an expensive looking ring covered in diamonds. Charlotte gasps. It is stunning!

"Oh, it is beautiful!" she says. "Of course I will marry you!"

 

They start to plan the wedding for later in winter, after New Year's. Hector needs that time to sell his house and get some other affairs in order. He does come over several nights, though.

But, one night, Charlotte gets dragged out of bed by someone else.

"Hello, little Spellcaster."

 

Pedro Soriano has the young Spellcaster strip from her clothes, before he pushes into her. He has kept an eye on her and her cousin for a while now - and, ideally, he would have preferred to use Ginny for this. She has the stronger bloodline.

But Ginny cannot carry children.

"Our children", he now says while pushing in and out, in and out, "will change the world as we know it. They will create a better future. You want that, do you not, little Spellcaster?"

Charlotte lets out a moan.

"Good", Pedro says. "Then give me twins."

He releases into her. She shudders as her body submits to his command, making sure that two eggs are ready and waiting for his seed.

 

Downstairs, Marcel is getting ready for work. Ginny is allowing him to work part-time, as part of her promise that if he did good, he would have more freedom.

He notices a book on the table in the joint kitchen and living room. It looks like it is written in gibberish, but after living with the cousins for a few weeks, he has realised the language is connected to their magic powers.

Despite the spells cast on him telling him that Ginny will not like it if he looks into magic, that he will no longer be good, he picks up the book and opens it. It remains gibberish, but he starts to read either way. Maybe there is a way to understand it if he keeps on reading. Maybe he will get magic if he does.

The Holiday Household

 

Summer and Paolo have recently welcomed another son into the house - Marius. After waiting for so long for another child, the two are overjoyed with the boy's presence.

 

Cory is less amused. Sure, he likes having a baby brother, but having him around means less time for friends or games for him. His parents often ask him to baby sit, as their work schedules overlap.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

"Cory! Watch over Marius until your father gets home, will you?"

Cory stands and walks out into the hallway to see his mother off on her way to work.

"Sure", he sighs. Summer smiles, waves, and leaves.

 

After making sure Marius is alright upstairs, Cory heads to the kitchen for a snack. His phone buzzes.

Dude, Annabelle's at the café by the old docks! Stefan Asher writes.

Cory's heart does a backflip in his chest.

Sorry, can't come, he writes. Babysitting my brother.

Cory, come on! This is your chance! You can sit down and have a coffee with her without asking for a date!

Cory glances up the stairs. The old docks are not far. Maybe Marius will be alright if he just goes out for a short while.

 

Before he can reconsider it, Cory gets dressed and leaves the house.

Stefan waits for him outside the café. The other teenager grins.

"You made it."

Cory nods. His heart is hammering too hard for him to speak. Stefan pushes the doors open and they walk inside.

 

Cory spots Annabelle at once. She is at a table in the middle of the room, sipping a latte, sitting so that he can see her profile. She has not noticed him. He takes his coffee - which Stefan ordered for him - and walks in her direction.

When he is halfway there, she stands, smiles, and walks away. Cory watches as another teenage boy enteres through the other door. He knows him. Daniel Hilton.

It takes all that he has not to drop the coffee when Daniel and Annabelle kiss.

 

"Cory, what..."

"I've got to go", Cory says, leaving the coffee on Stefan's table and hurrying out of the building. Back home. Marius is screaming. Cory quickly gets him a bottle and changes his diaper, then heads into his own room. He gets in beneath the bed covers - and cries.

 

Paolo arrives home not much later. He prepares food for him and Cory, but despite calling for Cory to come down, it takes the teenager a long while.

When he finally arrives, Paolo can tell something is wrong.

"What's the matter?" he asks.

"Nothing", Cory mumbles, poking about his food. Paolo frowns.

"Cory, I can see..."

"It's nothing, dad. I'm just not hungry."

Cory pushes away from the table and walks back up the stairs.

 

Hours pass. Cory's bedroom door remains closed throughout the evening. Paolo sighs as he turns off all the lights and heads to bed. Maybe tomorrow Cory will be able to talk about what is going on.

Near midnight, a figure emerges from the shadows. Vladislaus walks up to Marius' crib with a smile.

"Hello, son."

He waves a hand over the crib. Bats and smoke engulf it, bringing it away, back to the Forgotten Hollow.

 

Soon after, steps sound on the stairs outside. Vladislaus smiles and steps out into the corridor. Summer stops at once, his power engulfing her.

"It is time, my dear."

 

He plunges his fangs into her neck and drinks. Deeply. Nearly draining her. Then he pulls away, rips open his own wrist, and commands her to drink from it.

She does.

Vladislaus chuckles, then engulfs them both in shadow.

 

After arriving back at his castle, it does not take long before Summer transforms. Vladislaus smiles as she runs her tongue over her new fangs.

 

Then, he wraps his powers around her again.

As both her mate and her creator, he can command her. He can mold her. And he does.

Forget your human life. You are and have always been a vampire. You are my mate. You are destined to be bound to me forever.

 

Summer blinks, then turns towards him - in her true form. Stunning.

"Vlad", she says. Her voice has an accent it did not have before - like his. He smiles and wraps her in his arms.

"Welcome home, dear."

 

Summer acts as if she has always been there. Which confuses Nicolette - Vladislaus' daughter through his deal with Colette Storm. The toddler refuses to acknowledge Summer as her true mother - and creation bonds do not extend to blood children.

Vladislaus hopes the fiery toddler is not more trouble than she is worth.

 

Of course, taking care of the children is not Summer's main objective. It is to please him. They have forever - and he intends to spend it as he pleases.

"Tell me your true name", he hisses while they make love in his coffin. She smiles.

"Valeska, dear. Valeska Straud."

 

In the morning, Cory wakes up and finds Summer's side of the bed empty. He frowns, then tries to hear i Marius is awake. Maybe Summer woke up from his screams and went to check on him.

 

But when he enters the baby's room, the crib is gone as well.

Summer and Marius are missing.

The Thomson Household

 

The triplets have grown up into toddlers, all with very distinctive personalities. Antonia is the clever one, Bianca is the sweet one, and Raven is the rebellious one. They take up nearly all of Jules and Cassandra's time.

 

Luckily, Titus is used to being alone. And he likes it - unless he is given the opportunity to be with Aubrey. The two have been close for a while now and often come over to one another's homes to work on school projects.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

However, recently, friendship has developed into something more.

Romance.

They are taking it slow, step by step, but the flirts are definitely there - and everyone at school considers them to be boyfriend and girlfriend.

 

Putting the triplets to bed the night before Christmas is a difficult task - especially when alone. But, eventually, Jules manages to get them all to sleep.

 

As Cassandra is working late, he stumbles into bed on his own, instantly falling asleep.

And the dreams begin.

 

He is kneeling, naked. His mistress stands before him. He is awaiting her orders.

"Enjoy this Christmas, my dear", she says. "Tomorrow night, your life will change forever."

A shiver runs up his spine. His mistress wants him to come to her.

The command buries itself deep in his brain as the dream fades.

 

The triplets are up early, giddy with excitement. It is Christmas!

 

Downstairs, Jules and Cassandra are decorating the tree.

"I will go get the presents", Cassandra says.

"And I'll go see about more decorations", Jules fills in, smiling. He feels... extremely happy. Excited.

Today is going to be special.

 

While he rummages through the decorations, the triplets tumble down the stairs. Titus appears from his bedroom, yawning slightly - but he has gotten dressed.

"Merry Christmas", Jules says to them all. They reply in kind.

 

Cassandra has hardly finished putting out the presents before the triplets are there, followed by Titus.

"One each for now", Cassandra says. "You'll get the rest after dinner."

Titus helps the three girls find one gift each - and then picks out one for himself. Soon, the house is filled with happy shouts.

 

Jules carries the final pieces of decorations into the room, shaking his head at the devastation that is the twins' unwrapping.

"I'll clean it up", Titus offers.

 

Out in the kitchen, Cassandra has started to prepare the food for the evening. It is the first Christmas she is hosting - and she wants things to be perfect. Mortimer, Salim, Alexander and Juliette will all be coming over for dinner.

 

Hours later, dinner has been served - and second helpings have been consumed. The evening is a success.

 

Of course, things get even better for the children when Father Winter comes by - with more gifts. Though he came by rather late - so Jules and Cassandra decide that, once the triplets have opened their gifts, it is high time for bed.

 

The Goths stay a little longer before they take their leave. Titus slips into his own bedroom to text Aubrey. And Jules and Cassandra finally get some time to themselves.

"Merry Christmas", Jules whispers as he kisses her, pulling her down onto the bed.

 

As they make love, Cassandra briefly thinks that the way they do it tonight seems special. Like Jules is trying to memorize her - every part of her.

By the time they kiss goodnight, Cassandra is exhausted enough to fall asleep the moment she rolls over.

 

She does not notice Jules leaving. Does not hear the front door open and close. Knows nothing of him lying down in the ice cold snow, staring up at the stars.

 

But she finds out in the morning.

When the police arrive, they determine that Jules must have taken his life - by freezing to death. If this was due to an unknown sickness or something else, they do not know.

It is too late to determine.

 

Of course, Jules did not die. The evidence left behind was what he was ordered to leave by his mistress - who collected him and brought him to her hidden house in Brindleton Bay.

 

Celeste hums as she adjusts her make up. She might not celebrate Christmas - but she gave herself a good enough gift.

 

Heading down to the basement, she finds her new pet waiting. Jules is gagged and blindfolded - and naked. She brings him to the pillory and plays with his body, making it respond like she wants it to do.

 

Once she is done, she ties him up. He will stay like that until she plays with him again - content, not knowing anything else.

Time to start working, she thinks as she heads upstairs, to the sound of a baby's cries.

 

Upstairs is a baby - a recently born girl called Jimena. She was the one Celeste impregnated herself with when she first took control of Jules.

Jimena Savage. The future witch queen.

The Huntington-Munch Household

 

In another part of the world, Christmas is also being celebrated. The penthouse has been decorated, the children are desperately trying to peek at the presents, and Siobhan is trying to both cook and decorate at the same time.

 

When Juniper and Scarlett get shooed away from the preparations, the girls end up in Scarlett's room - where Juniper tries to get the other girl to not be so mean at school.

"You can be really funny, Scarlett", she says. "Why are you so mean?"

"I'm not mean", Scarlett replies. "I'm a strong, fearless woman."

Before Juniper can say anything else, Siobhan calls them all to dinner.

"This is delicious, Siobhan", Morgan says as she helps herself to a second serving.

"Is there dessert?" Scarlett asks. Siobhan smiles.

"Maybe later. But first, J and I have a bit of a surprise. How about we all meet up in the gardens?"

 

J has already left the table - most likely to prepare the surprise. Curious, the rest of the family walks out into the garden to see what it is about.

They find J standing in the snow dressed in a white tux. In front of him is a wedding arch.

 

"What is this?" Wolfgang asks. "You two are already..."
"Yes, we are."

They all turn as Siobhan come down the stairs from the second floor. She is wearing a wedding dress - and has let some of her long braids fall down onto her shoulders.

"We figured it was time for a renewal ceremony", J says, smiling at Siobhan as she approaches.

 

Unlike last time, the two now speak vows of family and love and trust. Wolfgang and Morgan exchange a glance. This is... strange. Their powers must have caused some sort of mental shortage in Siobhan and J's brains.

They were never meant to end up in a happy, stable relationship. J was supposed to be the one always in control.

 

As the ceremony ends, they all head back inside, where Siobhan has prepared a cake for them all. After that - and the Christmas presents - they all decide that it is time for bed.

For J and Siobhan, that means another wedding night. And they take full advantage of it.

 

J and Siobhan stay occupied through most of the following day. Luckily, there is plenty of food in the fridge for the kids to eat - neither Morgan nor Wolfgang like cooking.

"I'm off to work", Wolfgang calls to Morgan as the clock nears six in the evening.

"Be back in time for an adventure", Morgan calls back. She always does that - referring to them always having sex when he gets home in the early morning. Wolfgang grins, then leaves.

 

On his way to the subway station, Wolfgang senses that someone is following him. He reaches out with his powers to try and push them away.

Instead, a pale man materializes out of the shadows.

A vampire.

"Greetings", the man says.

"What do you want?" Wolfgang demands to know.

 

He has met vampires before - it is part of being an incubus - but this vampire is different.

And, to Wolfgang's surprise, the vampire is able to use his powers on him.

Suddenly, his body refuses to cooperate. The vampire grins, showing his fangs.

"I believe you know my mate. She used to be known as Summer Holiday."

 

Wolfgang struggles to break free as the vampire closes in. The fangs scrape against his neck.

"This is for almost killing her", the vampire continues, before the fangs plunge into the flesh.

 

Vladislaus Straud drops the lifeless body onto the ground, wiping his mouth.

At last, he is rid of the incubus.

The Cartwright Household

 

Christmas preparations are in full swing. Yuki has invited Candy, Diego and their children to come celebrate the holidays with them.

 

It will also be a great way for the younger kids to play. Yuki is especially worried about Emmaline, who seems to prefer to sit on her own instead of playing with Arthur and Phoebe. Perhaps with Jarred over, she will find a new playmate.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

With three toddlers in the household, Yuki is always tired when going to bed. Today is no different - what with the added pressure of preparing for Christmas - and she falls asleep soon after hitting the pillow.

She does not notice when Damien crawls on top of her.

 

Damien has been off on late shoots for several days now, meaning he has gotten home after Yuki has fallen asleep. And after the first night, he found that he enjoyed fucking her unconscious body even more than when she was awake. It was what he did when he first got her to himself, after all.

So he started adding crushed up sleeping pills to the bottle of water she always keeps on her nightstand. Now, she is out cold for hours.

Perfect.

 

"You've always been a little doll, Yuki", Damien says as he leans down to kiss her. Lifting her eyelid, he grins at the way she seems to look at him without really seeing.

"No blowjob tonight, darling", he whispers. "I'm saving that for New Year's - as well as a bit of fun with your ass."

He grins and leans back, pushing harder - and spilling deeply inside of her.

 

Yuki is glad she wakes up before Damien the next morning. It gives her an excuse to get out of bed, get the toddlers ready and prepare for the feast - instead of being trapped there with him.

Phoebe and Arthur are the first to run up to the tree and the presents.

"We'll open them tonight", Yuki tells them, "when everyone is here."

Phoebe pouts, but the twins are too well behaved to even try and open the gifts. Emmaline only sits down on the couch with her tablet.

 

In the evening, the Lobo family arrives for the feast. After dinner, they all join up around the tree, singing carols and exchanging gifts. Laughter and happy shouts fly about the apartment.

No one but Damien notices a knock on the door. Perhaps because he has been waiting for it.

 

He sneaks out to find Angela - and immediately notices her belly. She smiles at him.

"I guess you can see what I came to tell you", she says, gesturing towards her rounded form. "I'm pregnant."

"I... see."

 

Back in the apartment, Diego has a special gift for Yuki - though it affects the rest of the group as well. He calls for silence before presenting it to his sister-in-law.

 

Yuki opens the gift and finds a piece of decoration - in Sulani style.

"It's beautiful", she says. Diego smiles.

"Look at the tag", he says. Yuki does - and realizes it is not a regular price tag. It is a ticket.

"A vacation in Sulani?" she gasps and looks up at Diego.

"Exactly", he says, "and it is for all of us."

"Well", Damien says from near the door, "I can't go. I have shoots to complete."

Diego narrows his eyes at him.

"Then it is for the rest of the family."

 

Damien is still too shocked about Angela's pregnancy to protest. He is even too tired to play with Yuki after the Lobos leave. He falls asleep, gets up early, and heads to work.

Angela is there, as his co-star. He knew she would be, but now it also means he has to see her pregnant form all day.

He is not sure how to feel about that.

 

Angela invites him over after they are done filming.

"Look", she says as they relax by the pool at her place, "I know this was a bit of a shock, but you don't need to worry. I can take care of the child myself if you do not want to be involved - but I felt like you should at least know what was going on."

"I want to be involved", Damien replies. "That's the thing; I don't know how I can be."

Angela smiles and takes his hand.

"We'll think of something, sweetie."

 

When Damien returns home, he is surprised to find the apartment deserted. It takes him a few minutes to remember why.

The Sulani vacation.

Yuki and the children have left.

 

Meanwhile, the Lobos and the Cartwrights - sans Damien - are enjoying the sun and heat in Sulani. Even Emmaline seems to like it; for the first time she is playing with her siblings and Jarred in the water.

 

Ivy is determined to challenge her family to swimming competitions. Over and over again. Sooner or later, she will win.
"Ivy, you won't", Aubrey tries to explain to her - again. "We're all taller than you and..."

"But I'm faster!" Ivy shouts and takes off again. Aubrey rolls her eyes and gets out of the water, but Diego and Candy decide to indulge their youngest daughter and swim after her - albeit taking it slow, to let Ivy get one win.

 

Yuki is relaxing on the beach. There is no Damien to worry about, and Diego and Candy are keeping an eye on the toddlers.

For the first time in who knows how long, she can take it easy.

"Aunt Yuki?"

 

Yuki looks up as Aubrey comes over, holding her phone and looking concerned.

"What is it?"

"I... I think something has happened to Titus. He's not answering my texts - but he has read them. That's never happened before."

Yuki stands up and gives her niece a hug.

"I'm sure he'll get back to you soon. Give him time."

 

After dinner on the beach, Diego and Candy offer to take care of the children and give Yuki some time to explore the islands. She rents a boat and sails out onto the water. Soon, she spots a private beach. A man digging around in the sand waves at her, then walks off, leaving her alone.

 

Yuki looks around, then sits down on one of the lounge chairs, looking up at the stars. Other than the chirping of the local wildlife and the lapping of the waves against the sand, it is quiet.

Slowly, it lulls her to sleep.

 

Her eyes snap open. A sound. Music. It is coming from the water.

 

She must find out what is producing that beautiful sound.

She wades out into the water. When it gets too deep, she starts to swim. The music calls to her. It is a song. A sweet, soft song. She must find out who sings it.

 

The sound stops. Yuki feels sadness coarse through her body. Where is the singer? She needs to find them.

Something grabs at her legs and drags her down. At first, she panics, but then the sound returns, different now under water - but just as beautiful. She relaxes and lets herself sink down.

 

Something changes.

The song stops - and her head clears. She shoots towards the surface, moving faster through the water than she ever has before.

She breaks through the water, gasping for air - and then realizes she did not really need it below the surface. Her legs feel strange - like they have become one. Looking down, she realizes that is exactly what has happened. And they - and parts of her body - are covered in scales.

"Hey! Are you alright?"

 

Yuki turns in the water and spots a man her own age.

"What happened? Who are you?"

"I'm Makoa", he replies, "and I know this is confusing, but... you just became a mermaid."

Yuki shivers, even though she is not really cold. The water is comforting.

"It's difficult to explain", Makoa continued, "but trust me, I know how it feels. I went through the same thing a while back. Do you have family here?"

She nods.

"You can't go back to them", Makoa says. "Not yet. You need to learn how to control yourself."

 

Yuki stares at him. Control herself? Like she is a monster?

"Everything will be fine", Makoa assures her. "Follow me. I live not too far from here - and I can get you to meet the one who taught me how to live without harming humans."

He swims away through the water and Yuki follows. They pass island after island, until the water becomes even warmer and has a sulfuric tang. They are near the volcano.

Makoa breaks the surface first. When she follows, Yuki spots the remains of an old ship on an island not far from the volcano. A door has been created in the hull and the faint flicker of torches show a staircase going down.

"Make sure you're hydrated before going up", Makoa tells her.

"I can... walk on land?" Yuki asks, gesturing towards her fin. Makoa smiles.

"You'll change back. It's how we blend in with humans. There are more mermaids around than you might think."

The De Lancey Household

 

Aphrodite has recently given birth to a son - Jasper.

 

And as Patrick's wife, she also raises his other children - even though she is technically still a teenager and required to attend school. Luckily, Jack, Marley, Atticus and Lydia are able to mostly take care of themselves.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

After the children leave and Jasper gets dropped off at daycare, Patrick gets a call - from Celeste.

"I have something for you to write about", she says. "How about you meet me in San Myshuno?"

He agrees.

 

Celeste gets him to try a bunch of different exotic foods from newly opened foodstalls. It is a fun time. In fact, they even start to flirt a bit.

Patrick wonders why he never realized that Celeste is kind of hot before.

 

Upon leaving school, Aphrodite decides to take a detour past Celeste's house. She kind of misses the place.

 

"Celeste? Are you home?"

No answer. Aphrodite considers leaving, but then a sound from the stairs leading to the basement makes her pause. Maybe Celeste is down there?

 

She heads down the stairs and pushes open one of the doors.

Her eyes widen as she notices the man hanging there, naked, blindfolded and gagged.

Wow, she thinks, he is hot.

 

Slowly, she unties him and brings him down to the floor. He does not move away. His cock is rigid hard as she touches it. A tremor runs through her body at the feeling, as if touching him means touching something deep inside of herself.

She removed her clothes, but instead of sinking down on top of his cock, she takes it in her mouth. He responds by pushing in and out of her at a tempo she desires.

Cum, she thinks - and he spills into her. She swallows it all down.

 

When Patrick gets home, he finds the children downstairs doing their homework.

"Where's Aphrodite?" he asks.

"Upstairs", Marley replies. "She had to take a shower."

 

Patrick frowns, then walks up to the master suite. He hears the shower running in the bathroom, then how it stops. Before Aphrodite comes out, he has removed most of his clothes.

"Did you take a shower without me?" he asks as she nears. She gasps as he wraps her in his arms.

"Oh, it was only a quick one", she says, grinding against him. "How about... a bath?"

 

The bath is drawn in no time. Aphrodite moans loudly as she sinks down on top of him. Patrick grins, pushing up and into her.

 

Every lewd sound she makes is perfect. He will never regret asking Celeste to bring her back to him. He reaches around and pinches her nipples, rubs between her thighs close to where his cock is sliding in and out of her. She leans back into him with another moan.

He does not see how her eyes roll back into her head, turning white.

 

Some days later, Aphrodite wakes up feeling rather queasy. She rushes to the bathroom and throws up. As she never gets sick, she then grabs a pregnancy test.

 

"Is everything alright?" Patrick asks her when she returns. Aphrodite smiles at him.
"I'm pregnant again", she says. Patrick returns the smile, then embraces her.

During breakfast, he exchanges a few texts with Celeste. She has found another place for him to write about. While deciding on when to meet up, he also reveals that Aphrodite is pregnant again.

Celeste does not reply.

The University Household

 

The two universities located in Britechester are preparing for a new term - and as such, new students are moving into the various dorms and old townhouses.

 

Next door to one another live Alexander Goth, Macy Scott, Max Villareal, and Elsa Bjergsen. The four of them often spend time studying together - and take turns cooking.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

This helps Macy and Alexander, especially, as their toddler twins Katie and Charlie live with them - and take up a lot of time.

 

Luckily, other residents of the town are also interested in helping out. The old Elderberry couple have offered to babysit whenever Macy and Alexander have to go to lectures and exams - and Angela and Lilith Pleasant often come by to either study or play with the toddlers. Or, in Lilith's case, invite them to parties.

 

Elsa, especially, is eager to experience all that Britechester has to offer. Other than taking a full set of classes, she has become part of the debate team.

 

Max often comes to see her debates. However, on this day, Elsa asks him to wait for her at home.

"I just need to get a few things done", she says.

"Is everything alright?" Max asks. Elsa manages a smile.

"Of course."

 

Truth is, she has been feeling rather weird since moving to Britechester. At first, she thought it might have to do with her mother's sudden passing, but the more time that has passed, the more convinced she has become that it is about her turning into a mermaid.

She requires water. Often. Preferably with the ability to swim in.

The river running through Britechester is the best option she has - and she tries to go for a swim at least twice per day. Though it has been difficult since the others moved in; while she lived on her own, she could run off anytime.

 

Once she feels better, she heads back home. She finds Max upstairs. His eyes widen at the sight of her - making her wonder if some part of her still looks like a mermaid, or if she has some weed stuck to her face.

Before she can ask, he has walked up to her and is kissing her. They tumble onto the bed in a mess of limbs. Elsa sighs as something seems to release within her - as if there was a pent-up need that she did not know about.

"Max..."

 

Max lets out a groan, before starting to undress. Elsa watches as object after object is removed - and then lets him undress her as well. Her skin feels warm - like it always did after a swim in Sulani.

She lets out a gasp when Max presses into her. It is the first time they have taken it this far - but she wants it. Desperately. She clings to him as he moves. Some of the moisture on her skin transfers to his and she watches as it seems to get sucked in through his pores.

Interesting.

They climax together. Not until Max is off to the shower does Elsa start to wonder why he did not speak - at all - during the act.

She needs to study this.

 

In the other part of the townhouse, Macy is busy preparing dinner for everyone.

 

When Alexander comes down to check on her - after helping the twins get some food upstairs - he is surprised to see her smiling at him in a way she has not in a long time.

"Is... everything alright?" he asks.

"Yes!" Macy replies. "Yes, of course, everything is alright."

Alexander frowns. Is that a blush?

 

He shakes off the idea. Macy is not in love with him - does not even have a crush on him. How could she, after what he did to her?

And during the following days, nothing strange happens. The two remain on friendly terms, taking care of the toddlers together, but Alexander notices nothing else in Macy's behaviour that is odd.

 

Meanwhile, Elsa is determined to figure out what happened between her and Max. Considering the moisture on her skin during the sex act, she is thinking it might have to do with her being a mermaid - and just having gone for a swim. To test this theory, she has gone for swims early in the morning and then stayed out of the house for a while, to see if Max reacts.

Nothing has happened. So, now it is time for the second test.

 

Instead of going for a swim, Elsa takes a bath. The hot water clings even better to her skin than cold river water. She sighs, wishing she could stay in longer - but she is a scientist and she needs to figure this out.

 

Getting out of the water and back into human form, she walks into the bedroom wearing only a towel.

And now, Max's eyes widen - like they did last time. Slowly, Elsa removes her towel - and watches as Max starts to strip off his own clothes. He kneels in front of her like a servant and begins to lick up her leg, the moisture that clung to her skin clinging to his tongue and lips like a faint shimmer.

 

Something courses through Elsa - a thrilling power that she feels the need to explore. She hums quietly and watches Max straighten up, his eyes glazing over. Then he lies back on the bed and lets her climb onto him. As she sinks down, he murmurs something and tosses his head.

"Hush", Elsa whispers as she starts to move. Her voice sounds different - deeper than usual, with the same melodic tint as her humming. Max relaxes, his head dropping back.

 

Some part of Elsa - some human part - desperately tries to make her stop. But the mermaid in her is out to play and it loves to see Max submit, loves seeing the moisture cling to his skin and sink in.

She wants to bring him to the ocean. Wants to play with him there.

Some other time. For now, this is enough.

"Give me what I need", she whispers. Max shudders, releasing into her, then dropping back onto the mattress, asleep. Elsa smiles, throwing her head back as she rides out her own pleasure. She feels rejuvenated. Like she could swim for miles and miles.

 

In the other half of the house, Macy and Alexander are reading Charlie and Katie to bed. As Alexander finishes first, he gets up and prepares for bed as well. He has an early lecture in the morning.

 

Just as he has taken off his glasses, Macy walks into their shared bedroom. She smiles and sits down next to him. Very close to him.

"Macy, what..."

One of her hands brushes his thigh. Goes in between his legs.

"I want you", she whispers. "Just tonight. Please."

 

Alexander gapes at her - and then lets out a groan as her hand runs along his cock. Goes in beneath the waistband of his trousers and grips it.

"Please", Macy whispers again. "Please."

Alexander does not know how to say no. Slowly, he lies back and allows her to remove his trousers. She smiles, holding her cock in his hand, lazily pumping it up and down.

 

He thought it would stop there, but instead Macy removes her dress, climbs on top of him, and sinks down.

"Oh, Alex", she whimpers. "Oh, Alex."

He trembles as he takes hold of her and steadies her as she starts to move. Some part of him is yelling that this is wrong; he hurt her, she should not want this, he should stop her now.

But he does not.

 

He falls asleep from exhaustion after satisfying her sudden need.

But Macy does not fall asleep. She waits for someone else.

Lilith Lucia uses the shadows to move into the room, smiling wickedly at the young, dazed human woman.

 

"What a good little playmate you are, Macy", she says, before pulling Macy closer and biting into her neck.

Alexander winces at the light in the room. They must have forgotten to turn it off. He rolls over, blinking, and sees two people standing in the room.

He knows Lilith's look without glasses. In a flash, he is on his feet.

"Stop!"

 

Lilith smiles and drops Macy to the floor.

"Hello, Alexander."

"What are you doing here?" he demands to know. "What are you doing to Macy?"

"Oh, she is just being a good little girl", Lilith replies. "You like it, don't you?"

 

She is controlling Macy, Alexander realizes. She made Macy have sex with me.

He opens his mouth to order Lilith to leave - like he did back at Macy's house - but the words get stuck in his throat. To his surprise, Lilith grins as he struggles to speak.

"Ah, it seems like my plan worked. Blood calls to blood."

 

"What have you done?" Alexander asks. "What..."

"Oh, it is simple, Alexander", Lilith says. "You would not kill the human twins because they are your blood. I theorized that if I carried your blood, you could no longer kill me. So I made you get me pregnant as well."

She shows him her fangs in a broad grin.

"You cannot stop me from having fun with your girlfriend - and breaking your heart. Enjoy this while it lasts, Alexander."

The Villareal (San Myshuno) Household

 

It is a quiet day in the apartment. Declan is off work - and Hugo is recording a vlog. Rebecca has been out for a few hours, playing in the snow.

 

When she returns inside, Hugo goes to her room.

"Are you working on your scout assignments?" he asks.

"Yep!" Rebecca replies. He eyes her suspiciously.

"Sure?"

"Yep!"

"Alright... well, my brother and adoptive mother might be coming over tonight. Declan suggested we invite them for dinner."

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

Rebecca smiles widely.

"Can I go out again until then?" she asks.

"You just came inside. Have a bite to eat first."

Rebecca sighs, but at least she does not run out. Hugo turns away and makes a call to Katrina, then one to Max, asking them to come over. They both accept.

 

When Hugo hangs up, Rebecca has disappeared from her room. He finds both her and Declan in the combined living room and kitchen. There is paint splattered on the floor and Declan is telling her off.

"You can't just paint the floor, Rebecca", he says. "We're renting this apartment."

"But it would have looked so good!" she protests. Declan sighs.

"You know what? Go outside and get rid of some of that excess energy. I'll clean up."

 

Rebecca grins and rushes out. She starts constructing a snowman outside the door - her fourth of the day, but none of the others remain standing. Some of the other kids must have destroyed them.

No matter. There is plenty of snow for her to build more out of.

 

Getting Rebecca back inside is tough, but eventually, Declan and Hugo get her to take a bath and get dressed. Through most of the dinner with Max and Katrina, she is a perfect little angel. The conversation centers mostly around how she is doing living with Declan and Hugo - and on Max's new life as a university student.

 

After dinner, Declan clears his throat.

"I have something to say. Hugo?"

Hugo frowns, then gets to his feet at Declan's gesture.

"Something wrong?"

"No", Declan replies. "No, no. I just..."

He draws a deep breath - and drops to one knee.

"Hugo, will you marry me?"

 

Hugo does not remember accepting. He is in a state of shock throughout the rest of the evening, while Declan and Max pour champagne and hand it out. Only Katrina notices the state Hugo is in. She walks over and gives him a hug.

"Oh, don't fret, dear", she says. "Declan obviously loves you - and you love him."

"But what if something happens? What if he stops loving me?"

"That won't happen. I promise."

 

In the midst of these celebrations, Rebecca has managed to sneak back outside. She always has a feeling of being trapped when inside, like the walls are closing in. Out beneath the open sky she feels so much better - and she always forgets the time.

 

Luckily, Declan and Hugo seem to also forget about time - at least this night. After Katrina and Max leave, they retire to their bedroom for a personal celebration of their engagement.

Hugo does not voice his worries to Declan. He does not want to ruin the moment.

 

It is very late when Rebecca sneaks back inside the apartment. Soft snores escape from Hugo and Declan's room. She lets out a relieved breath, sneaks into her own room, and gets ready for bed.

The Pleasant (Brindleton Bay) Household

 

Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant are still getting used to living in their large house without their twin daughters. Especially Mary-Sue seems to have trouble adjusting - and she often calls Angela to see how she and Lilith are doing.

"Daniel", she says one morning, "did you know Angela has met a new boyfriend?"

"Hm?"

"Yes! A young man called Bowen Cobb. I do hope he is a better fit for her than Dustin was."

 

Mary-Sue is still happy about her daughter's new relationship as she heads off to work, leaving Daniel to work from home.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

Some time later, Kaylynn Langerak arrives at the house. She pulls out her set of keys and unlocks the door.

 

Daniel exits the kitchen when he hears the door. Kaylynn freezes in the hallway.

"Oh. Daniel. I... didn't know you'd be home."

"Kaylynn", he says with a wide smile and walks up to her. "I've missed you."

He pulls her into his arms for a kiss. Kaylynn does not resist.

 

It has been almost a year since Kaylynn was last at the Pleasants to clean. A year since Daniel last pulled her to bed, undressed her and sank into her. A year since he heard her moan and whimper and whisper for him to go harder.

Maybe he should have asked how her mother was doing - that was the reason she left, after all - but he prefers this. Prefers to go back to being what they were before.

He groans as he thrusts one last time and feels her clench around him, milking him dry.

"Good to have you back, Kaylynn", Daniel sighs after a bit of a rest. Kaylynn smiles shyly, before she starts to get dressed. Time to go about their day.

Maybe he can get her into bed for another round later.

 

Mary-Sue is still happy when she arrives back home - and is pleased to see Daniel happy as well. Perhaps the distance he showed that morning was due to something at work; it happens at times.

"I have an idea", Daniel says during dinner. "How about we get a pet, to have some company at home?"

"Oh, that sounds like a wonderful idea", Mary-Sue says.

 

In another part of Brindleton Bay, Kaylynn returns home to her small house - along with a toddler who has been at daycare all day. She spends some time playing with the little girl - Porsha - before starting to prepare dinner for the two of them.

Porsha is the reason Kaylynn left for a year - not a sick mother. She had vowed to end things with Daniel when she saw him again. But her courage had failed her.

Maybe next time...

The Landgraab (Brindleton Bay) Household

 

Nelson is no longer the only child in the household. Talitha and her father - Taurus - moved in shortly after their parents became engaged, and she is insisting on befriending him. Nelson is not sure how to feel about that.

 

Of course, Talitha befriending Nelson is part of Taurus' plan. He needs the boy to accept him as his new father - and unlike with Nancy, he cannot claim a child's mind that easily.

"Oh, Taurus", Nancy moans as he, once again, presses inside of her. Her will is his - but right now, no one notices but him. They simply think she is devoted to him. That that is the reason she lets him take command of everything.

Including their wedding.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

The wedding is, in the papers, said to be a private affair. In truth, it will take place on SixAm.

It is time that his father sees what he can do to aid the Sixonians in getting their population back on track.

 

Taurus travels to his home planet first, reuniting with his father - the totalitarian leader of the Sixonians. Like everyone else, he has a serial number, not a name - AG-99. Names are only used when in disguise on Earth.

"I hope this plan of yours work", AG-99 - the Leader - says. His wife, IG-121, nods in agreement. She, like many Sixonians, is infertile, forcing the use of a human Breeder to ensure that Taurus and his sister - NG-71 - were conceived.

 

Another man approaches the gathered family.

"This is General OT-128", the Leader says when Taurus stands. OT-128 makes a slight bow.

"It is an honor to finally meet you, Heir TG-031."

Taurus' number. He has always disliked the use of numbers.

"Call me Taurus", he says. The General gives a small smile.

"Then I am General Orion."

 

"TG-031", the Leader says, interrupting the two men's greeting, "it is time for you to show us what you wished to show us."

Taurus draws a deep breath - and then summons Nancy.

 

She appears dressed in white, completely in her Pet state. The Leader and the rest of the family rise.

"Good. Bring her over."

 

Together, they walk over to the small wedding ceremony platform. It has been refitted with a modified cloning pad - something that Taurus has been working on for years.

If this works, he thinks while speaking the vows necessary to marry Nancy, I will have solved our crisis. I will have found the solution Father wants. He will be proud of me.

 

After the ceremony, Taurus steps away and implants new commands in Nancy's mind.

Stand on the pad.

Die and be reborn.

 

Nancy walks over to the pad. She steps onto it and it starts glowing with a familiar green glow.

"It's working."

Taurus looks over to his sister, who just spoke. It is for her sake he has tried finding this solution. She is fertile, meaning she - in the current state of things - will be forced to marry an equally fertile man. One she does not like. If this works, she can marry whomever she wants.

 

Then the lights shut off.

Nancy starts spasming.

And falls to the floor.

 

Within seconds she is dead - and she is not reborn.

The modified cloning pad failed.

 

While Taurus simply stares at the scene - unable to speak - his father, the Leader, clears his throat and rises.

"It seems this experiment of yours failed", he says. "I expect you to return home soon. To stop playing around. It is time you did what was necessary for our people."

 

It is late when Taurus returns to Earth - without Nancy. He does not know how to tell Nancy and Talitha about what happened. Or what he should do next.

He cannot run. He is the Heir.

And he just squandered his only chance at changing things.

The Alexander Household

 

Nina has a new life to live.

After getting engaged to Neal Alexander, she moved from the big city to Willow Creek, to plan their wedding.

 

Of course, things are not that simple.

Nina is not the only woman living in the house. There is also Amanda.

Neal's first wife.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

It was quite a shock to find out that Neal was a polygamist. That he wanted Nina to be his second wife - Amanda's sister wife.

But she is adjusting. Amanda might not be the kindest sister wife, but she has not done anything outright hurtful.

 

And most of the time she is busy with her newborn son - Enzo.

 

Neal often speaks of how he wants a big family. He dotes on Enzo as much as Amanda does.

And when Nina tells him she is also pregnant, he is overjoyed.

 

Amanda... not so much.

"Wouldn't it be good to have two babies at the same time?" she asks Neal. "Enzo will grow up soon - he will be the big brother. But maybe..."

Neal grins, then tugs her up to the bedroom.

 

Amanda makes sure their lovemaking takes time. She does not like that Neal prefers to put his dick in Nina since she arrived. She - Amanda - wants to be the one clamping down on him.

And if she gets pregnant again, that is a bonus. Then she will have two children while Nina only has one.

 

While alone downstairs, Nina gets a call from Mike.

"I am nearby", he says. "I want to come say hello."

She smiles giddily. She cannot wait to tell him about her pregnancy.

 

When Mike arrives out on the porch, he of course offers his congratulations at seeing her pregnant.

And then he grabs hold of her and kisses her. Hard.

Nina sighs into him. Melting against him.

She still loves him.

 

Much later, Neal wakes up in the bedroom that belongs to Amanda. She is fast asleep next to him, the evidence of their lovemaking on her body.

Carefully, he gets up and leaves the room.

 

In the room next door, Nina has fallen asleep on the bed, still fully clothed.

Neal feels himself grow hard at the sight. She might not be that much younger than Amanda, but she is so damn hot.

 

He removes his pants, then crawls onto the bed and takes off hers as well.

It is all too easy for him to press inside of her.

 

She stirs awake as he starts to move.

"Relax", he murmurs into her ear, "it's just me."
Nina lets out a long moan.

"Harder", she begs. "Fuck me harder."

He grits his teeth - and does exactly that.

 

When Amanda wakes up, she frowns at the empty side next to her. Neal is gone. Did something happen with Enzo?

She walks into the baby's room, but finds nothing out of the ordinary.

 

Out in the hallway between the bedrooms, she notices that the door to Nina's room is open. And there is a familiar pair of pants on the floor.

Amanda walks in and sees that Neal is fast asleep next to Nina.

 

That bitch is stealing him from me, Amanda thinks, glaring at the bed.

It does not matter if Nina is pregnant with Neal's child. Does not matter that Neal wants her to be his second wife.

She has to go.

Neal belongs to Amanda.

The Villareal (Windenburg) Household

 

The cries of babies sound in the Villareal house once again. Twin girls this time - Cornelia and Roxanne.

 

Their mother, Gina, spends more time out by the gravestone of her lost husband than with them, however. It seems she is certain he will return.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

The older boys - Dimitri, Nathanael and Ramon - try to stay away from Gina as much as possible. They prefer the life they led before she arrived, with Katrina and Max.

 

Speaking of Katrina; she has done a lot of thinking lately.

She is not exactly young anymore - and with Gina around, she is consistently worried that something will happen to her. So, after some consideration, she has done what Samuel suggested she do; changed her will.

Just in case.

 

Samuel and her go out to dinner as often as possible. He truly is her saviour.

"Everything alright?" he asks as he meets her by the bar in Windenburg.

"Yes", Katrina replies. "I've thought about what you said."

"And?"

"And I've changed my will."

 

While waiting for their drinks and snacks, Katrina proceeds to tell Samuel what she has written in her will.

In case of her death, Max will inherit the house - but Samuel, and Luna, will be in charge of making sure the boys are alright. After all, Max is at university at the moment and cannot be tasked with taking care of his three half-brothers as well. Hugo and Declan are mentioned as well.

As are her two missing daughters - Emilia and Isabel.

 

Back in the house, Gina is trying to summon Jacques.

 

"Gina..."

She grins and climbs into his near corporeal lap. He is cold, but she does not care. He is here! Her Jacques is here!

 

He moves them to the bed and starts pushing into her. She feels filled in so many more ways than where she sees his cock disappearing into her.

"You wish for me to return, Gina?" he asks.

"Yes", she breathes.

"Then you must sacrifice who did this to me."

 

She shudders as she cums and he pulls out of her.

"Who?" she asks. "Who do I sacrifice?"

Jacques smiles and moves closer. His cock nudges her lips open.

"Swallow, and you shall learn."

She does as she is asked. It feels as if he is pressing into her brain, gifting her with the knowledge she needs.

Katrina.

 

Though Gina would have liked to kill Katrina immediately, Jacques cautions her. It has to be timed just right. Has to be done in the right place.

Instead, he tells her to act kind. Act as if everything is back to normal.

At first, Katrina - and the boys - are suspicious of this. But after a few days, it seems that they have accepted her change in personality.

 

After dinner, Gina helps Katrina clear the table.

"Mum", she says, "could you accompany me out to the gravestones for a bit?"

Katrina frowns.
"What for?"

"I... think it's time to say a final goodbye."

 

Katrina gives her a gentle smile, then follows her out to the gravestones. As they approach, Gina sees Jacques' ghost appear.

Katrina stops when she notices the apparition as well.
"What..."

Gina grabs her hand, feeling Jacques' supernatural strength flow through her and into Katrina.

 

Katrina's scream his hidden by the crackling of thunder and lightning. However, Gina can hear Jacques' deep, rumbling laugh.

 

When the lightning and thunder finally dies out, Katrina collapses on the ground, her life seeping out of her. Gina grins.

Soon. My loves is coming back.

 

She leaves the corpse behind and walks up to Jacques' ghost, kissing him. He kisses her back - hard, hungry - and for a while he seems to become even more corporeal.

He is returning.

 

And then, the opposite happens.

Jacques fades - and the power she used to feel radiating from his gravestone is gone as well.

The sacrifice has failed.

 

Gina opens her mouth to scream out her grief, but instead feels a searing hot pain grab hold of her. Her brain feels like it is boiling in hot water.

 

When the pain dies out, Gina blinks. Where is she? Why is she in the Villareal gardens?

Slowly, the memories return. Jacques drugging her. Her marrying him. Him dying. Her wanting revenge.

Her murdering her own mother.

"Oh my God..."

 

The following days, Gina tries very hard to make up for everything that happened. She takes care of the boys - and her twin girls. Takes care of the house. And even starts to write down her story as an adult novel.

 

Despite the chaos, the boys seem to adjust to it fairly fast. Now that Gina is not obsessing over the gravestones, she seems a bit more normal - and the boys have decided, as a group, to do what Katrina would have wanted them to do.

Have a normal life.

 

While the boys are at school, Gina goes to the mailbox to send off her manuscript.

"Excuse me."

 

Gina turns. There is a man standing there, looking overly superior.

"I am not sure we have been introduced", he says. "My name is Samuel Corley."

"Yes? What do you want?"

"Ah, see, that is a good question", Samuel says, smiling. "I simply came here to ask you if you have read your mother's will."

"...what do you mean?"

Samuel smiles even wider.

"It would seem I am one of her heirs. In fact, I am the boys' new guardian. And you are not mentioned at all."

 

Gina gasps.

"What?"

"Oh, no need to worry. Not yet, anyway. As long as you do what I tell you to do, I won't throw you out into the street. But if you disappoint me..."

He smiles, then tips an imaginary hat and leaves. Gina forces herself to breathe. Something about Samuel was very unsettling - and she does not like to imagine what he will make her do.

The Hartman Household

 

Since Jace enlisted the help of Pedro Soriano, Colette has become a happier vampire. Simply put, she is where she is meant to be.

 

"Colette", Jace says, making her look at him. He grins and caresses her face.

"How about you take care of Melissa before we have some fun together?"

Colette feels her body hum in response. Yes, she wants that. She will do that.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

She goes upstairs and takes care of their toddler daughter - Melissa. The toddler is not happy about being forced to go potty, forced to eat and then forced to bed, but Colette hardly notices.

 

Once Melissa is in bed - and the door to her bedroom is locked - Colette goes back downstairs to Jace. On the way, she discards her clothes - because Jace wants her to.

He pushes her down on the couch and nudges her legs apart. She moans when he presses into her.

 

"Perfect", Jace hisses, watching as Colette throws her head back, exposing her neck like a wanton human. He could bite her - it is something vampires do to one another, after all - but he decides not to. For now, he is happy with her simply following his wishes.

 

After finishing up, he goes out to hunt, letting her do the same. When they are out at different times, Jace lets Colette go further away - but now, he wants her to remain close. So she sticks to the square in the middle of the Hollow.

Luckily, humans have not figured out why the place should be avoided yet, and it is easy to find a willing neck.

"Impressive", an accented voice says behind her.

 

Colette drops the human and turns. It is Pedro Soriano. He smiles at her.

"I was wondering when you would come back outside, Colette."

"Why?" she asks. Pedro raises a hand - and his power slams into her.

 

It feels like a door is being unlocked somewhere inside of her. Thoughts, emotions, everything pours out.

Colette gasps, then looks at Pedro. He does not speak - but she still feels it.

The bond.

"What is happening to me?" she whispers.

"The Count wanted you to remain here", Pedro replies. "To create heirs to his rule. If your true mating bond became known to you, you would have left."

He holds out a hand towards her, inviting her to join him.

 

She walks forward, into his arms. Unlike with Jace, everything about Pedro feels right - and not forced.

"Take me away from here", she whispers. "Please."

"Not yet, mi amor. But I promise; I will."

As Jace still has not called to her - using Vladislaus' faked bond - Colette stays with him. Mating with him. Wishing that this was not all they had for now.

 

Back home, Jace has returned from the hunt early - and he is reaching out with his powers.

But not towards Colette.

Come to me, Yuki.

 

Nothing happens. He feels no response from the human he had enthralled, no confirmation that she and the child are on their way.

Gritting his teeth, he focuses his powers elsewhere.

Colette...

 

When she arrives, he pulls her up to their bedroom - with their coffins - and fucks her hard on the lid of one, this time biting down on her neck. He does not notice that her response to his demands are slower. That they only come when any normal lover would give them - not one connected to your very thoughts.

The Chambers Household

 

Throughout his divorce to Octavia, Thorne has lived with Vanessa and her family - far away from the mansions he is used to.

 

They recently welcomed a daughter - Celina - into the world...

 

...and got engaged. They are planning a New Year's Eve celebration - and no matter how late the invitations are sent out, they know it will be a packed event.

It is Thorne Bailey's wedding, after all.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

Their sex life is already being written about in the papers. It is like they cannot stop - and people are constantly speculating just how many children they will end up having.

And if Vanessa will show up to the wedding pregnant.

 

However, they are being cautious. Thorne uses condoms and Vanessa preventive pills.

They do not need more children at the moment. Vanessa's two older boys and Celina are quite enough.

 

But them having sex - and being quite loud - does mean that they do not always notice the children.

Like this night, when Vanessa's oldest son - Andy - has had a nightmare.

"Mum?" he says, pushing the door to the bedroom open. "Mum, can..."

He stops in the doorway. For a while, he just watches, wide-eyed - and then he runs to his brother's room instead.

 

Later, when Thorne has fallen asleep, Vanessa walks to the bedroom next door to feed a hungry Celina.

After putting the baby down, she blinks. Straightens. And walks out of the room, down the stairs, and outside.

 

A ship hovers over the house. It brings her up and away.

 

She ends up in a park. Not on SixAm, but she probably would not know the difference in her current state. An alien man lets her suck his cock - and she does so happily.

 

When he spills into her, he inserts two fingers into her mouth to ensure she swallows everything down.

Including the two miniscule capsules containing the most important thing.

"Take care of them, while they are yours", he says while he makes her dress up. "They are the future of SixAm."

 

Before bringing her back to her house, General Orion Tambouri uses his powers to make the twin alien babies whose DNA he sent into her grow faster.

They have no time to lose.

 

In the following days - as the wedding nears - Vanessa displays every sign of pregnancy. Her belly swells and she has to make adjustments to her dress. Her and Thorne have agreed that, even though they had not planned for this, they can certainly accomodate another child or two.

And it will give the magazines something to talk about.

 

New Year's Eve arrives - and, like the celebrities they are, Thorne and Vanessa spend some time having their pictures taken outside the chapel.

 

The ceremony is a success - of course. It is quick and simple, giving them all more time for the party.

 

And, of course, everyone is there - from the Flex family to the Lotharios, the Pleasants, the Goths and the Whitlocks.

Everyone who is anything - and some others.

 

As the clock strikes twelve and the party is in full swing, Thorne and Vanessa head outside for a moment to themselves.

"I'm buying a mansion for us", Thorne announces.

"Really?" Vanessa asks.

"Yes. It is high time we move back to where we truly belong."

The Feng Household

 

The arguments between Victor and Lily continue. Lily claims Victor has been ignoring her for a long time, and Victor claims Lily left without letting him know.

 

Malachi spends most of his time in his room, doing his homework or texting his friends. At least the closed door keeps the volume of his parents' shouting down somewhat.

Occasionally, when the adults are off working, he does his chores downstairs.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

Victor has been offered to go on another campaign tour - and has decided to use that time to be away from the family a bit longer.

"Two evenings campaigning", he tells his manager. "Then I want you to book me a retreat in Granite Falls."
"For how long, sir?"

"Indefinitely."

 

Victor hardly says goodbye to Malachi before leaving. But he does send a message to Hayley.

A car will pick you up tomorrow night. Be ready.

 

That night, Pedro appears in Lily's bedroom.

"It would seem your presence is requested", he says as he makes her get up and out of bed. She does not speak as she follows him out of the apartment.

 

Malachi is not surprised when Lily's bed is empty in the morning. She probably left early for work - even though it is a Saturday.

He, however, has other plans.

 

Him and his new friends have decided to get some lunch together. It is something they try to do often nowadays, as a means for Malachi to get out.

During this particular get together, Malachi notices Anna exchanging a few flirty comments with Ben. Before they all head back home again, he asks her if there is something there.

"No", Anna quickly replies. "No, there isn't."

"You sure?"
"Yes. Just drop it, Malachi."

 

Meanwhile, Pedro has left Lily out on the Bluffs, a series of commands inserted into her brain.

 

Unlike many other vampires, he sees benefits in working with other supernatural creatures. In creating new, superior beings.

And when Emmett Butler got in touch and claimed he wanted to be with Lily again, no matter the cost, Pedro decided to use that opportunity.

Using an alien cloning pad - modifie by him - he intends to make something new out of Lily. And as he has commanded her to, she steps onto the pad - and the procedure begins.

 

Soon, the old Lily is a dead, dried husk in the bushes. Off the cloning pad steps a woman who looks almost like her, but not quite.

A vampire-alien-human-breed. Pedro calls her a dhampir.

Liliana.

 

Emmett arrives shortly after the procedure, believing that he is to meet Lily there.

Instead, he spots Liliana - and everything else ceases to matter.

His lovely Liliana.

 

Liliana smiles and pulls him in for a kiss, feeling out her powers for the first time. She can command him, she realizes, like an alien or vampire could. She cannot change him entirely. And she sustains herself like a human.

"Let's go home, dear", she whispers in his ear.

"Yes. Home."

He brings her away from the island, leaving Lily's corpse behind.

 

Malachi is surprised to find the apartment still empty upon getting back home. Maybe his mother is working late?

 

He starts to get worried when Lily does not show the next day. Or the day after that. He gets in touch with the police and asks them about it. They promise to look for Lily.

He then calls his friends. The apartment feels too large for him as it is now. He needs company.

The Waites Household

 

Lauryn recently gave birth to a son - Stephan.

 

Her devotion to the little baby has made it possible for Eliza to test all the things that seem odd and strange about Lauryn's relationship with Connor. And her own to the same man.

"How about you declare me healthy?" she asks Connor one night. She expects to have to argue about it - but he simply nods in agreement.

"Of course. You are perfectly healthy."

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

While Connor is away the next day, Eliza decides to give a few suggestions to Lauryn as well.

"Hey, you know that man you met with some time ago? You liked him, didn't you?"

Lauryn smiles and nods.

"Then why don't you go on a date together?"

"Oh, I couldn't leave home like that", Lauryn says.

"Sure you can. How about tonight?"

Lauryn does not argue.

 

At school, Tony is making friends with some of the more troublesome kids - Rory Pizzazz and the Abbelli twins, Dominic and Mateo.

 

Jimmy is also making friends - but with Isabel Whitlock. During lunch, she vents to him about her parents grounding her.

 

Before the kids are even home from school, Lauryn is off on her date - with Jayden Leon, who has rented the Von Haunt Estate for this particular event.

 

Jayden has been told by Eliza about the suggestions. That he just needs to suggest something for Lauryn to agree.

It is easy to get her up to one of the bedrooms and have her give him a blowjob.

 

Things proceed easily from there. As he fucks her, Jayden considers Eliza's other suggestion. It is becoming more tempting the more Lauryn simply agrees with him.

 

Back at the house, Eliza is proceeding with the second part of her plan.

"Connor", she says, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Please, elope with me."

 

She seasons the suggestion with a bit of sex. That is all that is needed.

Connor sends in the papers for his divorce to Lauryn the same night. Eliza also makes sure that - now that she is declared healthy - Ryan is no longer in charge of her funds. Once she has access to it all again, she purchases a house.

 

The house is a lot larger than what the two of them need, truly, but Eliza does not want anyone to miss the fact that she is back.

 

Once the purchase is done, she calls her lawyer and ensures that she can get a speedy divorce to Ryan. Ensuring that her and Connor can elope.

 

It takes no time at all. Soon, they call themselves husband and wife, Eliza taking on the last name Waites.

 

She gets back into cooking and blogging, while Connor quits his job as a nurse and instead gets into gardening. Her suggestion, of course.

 

One night, Jimmy comes by, carrying a trunk of clothes and small objects. Connor immediately lets him inside; if there is one thing Eliza cannot control with suggestions it is how Connor is with his children.

 

While having dinner, Jimmy asks if he can come live with them instead.

"Things are weird back home", he says. "Mum keeps inviting her new boyfriend over - and I do not like him."

"Of course you can live here", Connor says. Eliza smiles in agreement. At least Jimmy is a good kid; he will not disturb her and Connor.

 

Back in the old house, Jayden has come over. He has his own key now - and he walks into the bedroom while Lauryn is feeding Stephan.

 

When she puts the baby down, he grabs her from behind.

"Time for a bit of fun, hm?"

Lauryn moans as he starts fondling her breasts.

 

In no time at all he is able to slide into her and fuck her hard from behind, lasting for as long as he wants her to, and coming with a moan and a whimper.

 

"You are just perfect", he says after they dress up. "How about the two of us get married?"

He pulls out a ring - a simple thing, really, but Lauryn's eyes light up.

"Oh, yes! Yes!"

The Pancakes Household

 

Family life is a good thing for Bob. He gets along well with all of the children, and him and Hayley have a good life together. Even better; he has gotten promoted at the restaurant again.

 

Hayley, meanwhile, has gotten a text message from Victor. A car will come and pick her up in the evening the next day.

She can hardly wait.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

After spending some time doing chores outside, the children are heading in for dinner. Madelynn stops Clyde as he is about to walk in.

"Hey, how about we head out tonight?"

"Head out?" Clyde asks with a frown.

"Yeah, the three of us; you, me and Thomas. There's a new club opening downtown and I've been dying to check it out."

 

Clyde eventually agrees. The triplets have dinner with the family, and then Madelynn makes up some story about them going to a friend's house for some games.

In truth, they are heading down to Willow Creek's newly renovated night club - The Blue Velvet.

 

The music is pumping and people are dancing and drinking. A few of the bartenders check for ID:s, but not everyone - and Madelynn quickly figures out who. Thomas sticks to the edges of the dance floor - and spots another teenage boy, looking a bit lost and forlorn.

"Hey", he says, sitting down next to him.

"Hey", the boy says, smiling. "I'm Jimmy."
"Thomas Pancakes."

Jimmy raises his eyebrows.

"Wait, really? Your my stepmum's son?"

 

Clyde has also found someone to talk to - Lucia Bheeda. The two know each other since before; they have worked on projects together in school, and it is quite well known that they would make a good couple.

"Maybe we should do it", Lucia says after a while.

"Do what?" Clyde asks.

"Go on a date. Everyone seems to think we're a good match."

 

From the bar, Madelynn watches her brothers pair up with people. She smiles. This was why she wanted them to get out for a bit; Clyde is always studying and Thomas just sits and plays video games. They never socialize. Never find people to possibly date.

Well, she is not exactly dating either - but she intends to change that.

"Maddie?"

 

It is Thomas. Him and Clyde are heading home. She did not realize how late it was getting.

"I'll stay a bit longer. Tell dad I stayed at our friend's house or something."

Thomas shrugs. They both know Bob will be out working - and Hayley never punishes them for anything.

 

As the teenagers clear out, Madelynn soon finds herself chatting with older people. And they seem to think she is older too. All the better; she has talked to all the boys and all the girls in school and not found a single one she has found interesting.

"This seat taken?"

Madelynn gapes as Zayne Knowles slides onto the stool next to her.

"N-no."

 

They get talking. Drinking. Laughing.

Soon, Zayne tugs her upstairs to the balcony. He bribes one of the guards to keep the door closed behind them.

"Fuck, Maddie", he hisses as he slides a hand down between her legs. She pushes against him. He must feel that she has soaked through her panties even through her jeans.

 

She does not hesitate when he kisses her. When he starts to undress her. She does the same to him. Maybe it is the drinks, but she does not care about him being married. Does not care that this might cause a lot more trouble than it is worth.

She only wants that sweet feeling of him inside of her.

 

The next day, Madelynn sleeps until noon. And spends the rest of the day in her room. Bob heads off to work, kissing Hayley goodbye and wishing her a good time at the retreat.

He thinks she is going to Granite Falls to celebrate a friend's birthday.

She knows better.

 

Victor Feng has rented a cottage for them in the forest. Fires burn in every room as she arrives, keeping the snow and cold out.

 

Of course, they have their own way of getting warm.

"Hayley", Victor says, then pulls her into a hard kiss. She sighs into him, then lets him undress her.

 

"I want to have you in every way", Victor says as he has her suck his cock, "everywhere in this cottage. For as long as possible."
Hayley hums around his shaft.

 

When he presses into her for the first time that night, she shudders. For someone getting up there in age, he is still so strong. So powerful.

God, she wishes they did not have to sneak around like this. Wishes that that first meeting of theirs, when she was a caterer at one of his rallies, had gone differently.

 

After a shower - which they had together - they share a meal. Hayley slides a foot up Victor's leg. He grabs it, smiling at her.

"Time for more?"

She swallows her food, then nods.

 

This time, they take it to the bedroom. Victor pushes her to two rounds - one anal, one vaginal. Everything below her waits hurts, but in a good way.

"Tomorrow", Victor whispers in her ear, "we have breakfast my way."

 

But tomorrow starts off differently.

Hayley wakes to find Victor's side of the bed empty. Once up, she notices him on the floor. Cold. Dead.

A heart attack in the middle of the night has ended his life.

 

Back home, Thomas has been chatting with Jimmy. He has found out about his estranged mother Eliza's whereabouts - that she is now married to a man named Connor, Jimmy's dad, and lives in Brindleton Bay.

Jimmy came up with the idea of them re-connecting.
"Dad?" Thomas says, seeking out Bob. "About... my mum."

"Hm?"

"I know where she is. And... I'd like to go stay with her for a bit. Get to know her again."

Bob hesitates.

"Well, it is up to you, Tom. But know that you can come back home whenever you feel like it."

 

They spend the day setting things up, talking things through with Eliza on the phone. She seems to agree with the idea.

Maybe she has changed, Bob thinks while putting Felipe to bed that night. When he gets out of the bedroom, he nearly runs into Hayley.

 

"You're home early", he says. Hayley smiles at him, then tugs him into the bedroom.

"I want you. Now."

He quickly obeys, undressing both of them. While he fucks her, Hayley tries to forget what happened with Victor the night before.

If she can grow to love Bob like she loved Victor, everything will be fine.

 

Bob does not notice the urn she places on the wall next to their bed. It only contains a fraction of Victor's ashes - the rest were sent to his home in San Myshuno. But she needed to keep some. They were meant to be together forever...

The Bjergsen Household

 

Recently, Amina gave birth to twin girls - Emma and Caroline.

 

The arrival of the twins has forced Julia to be more independent. Not that she was not before, but now her parents hardly have time for her - so she is getting things done herself.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

Though Amina is not always home. Bjorn is a much more active parent; Amina is often away meeting with people at cafés, bars and night clubs.

 

This day, she ran into an old boyfriend - Anthony. They used to date in high school and soon they are chatting away, reminiscing about old times.

"How about we go out together?" Amina suggests.

"Aren't you married?" Anthony replies. Amina laughs.

"Not like that, silly. Just for a bit of dance and drinks."

They decide to do exactly that the following night.

 

The next day when Bjorn heads off to work, he hears boots crunching in the snow behind him. Expecting it to be Amina - maybe he forgot something at home - he turns. And stops.

It is not Amina.

It is Luna.

 

"Luna, what..."

She looks wrong. Her cheeks glow pink, her eyes are white, and there is an eerie smile on her lips.

 

He is stunned when she pulls his pants down - and even more stunned when she starts sucking on his cock. It hardens immediately.

Why can he not push her away? Something is clearly wrong with her; he should push her away.

But he cannot - and she continues until he spills all he has into her.

 

In the evening, Amina is putting Julia to bed. She is almost ready to head out - and Bjorn seems to be even more distracted tonight than he usually is.

 

She checks her make-up one last time. Adjusts her clothes. Her hair.

Perfect.

 

Bjorn is having dinner when she walks past the kitchen.

"I'll be late tonight, babe", she calls to him.

"Alright", Bjorn replies. Something in his voice tells her he did not hear half of what she said.

 

Anthony meets her at the club.

"Hey, gorgeous!" he says as a way of greeting. Amina grins. She misses getting compliments like that. Anthony always was good with compliments.

"Well, look who it is..."

 

Amina turns - and fights back a scowl.

Kaden Silva grins at her and Anthony - then holds out a hand to the latter.

"Kaden", he says.

"Right, I remember you from school. You moved to Sulani for a while, didn't you?"
"Yep. Did some snorkling. Some life guarding."

He shoots a grin at Amina. Damn, he is still hot, she thinks. As hot as he was when she broke up with him to get Bjorn.

 

Anthony insists on Kaden joining them for drinks. One drink turns to many - and soon Amina has lost all of her grudges against the unwanted man.

While dancing upstairs, she finds herself kissing him. He tastes of wine and spices.

 

"Don't leave me out of this", Anthony suddenly murmurs in her ear, pressing against her. Amina thinks she sees Kaden grin, then turns to smile at Anthony.
"Never", she says, then kisses him as well.

 

They somehow manage to find a private boot. Clothes fly across the floor. Kaden grunts as he pulls her down onto him. She reaches for Anthony and finds his cock, his balls.

A wonderful, pleasurable haze settles over them as they move together.

 

Amina does get home late. In fact, it is almost light out when she crawls in beneath the covers. She should probably have showered first - but Bjorn will not notice the stains.

He never does.

The Goth-Knowles Household

 

Everything seems to continue as normal in the Goth-Knowles household. The twins - Anastasia and Vespera - are mostly left to take care of themselves, when there is not a nanny around.

 

Bella has been recording teaser videos for her first performance at the Lotus club - all to increase the size of the crowd attending.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

Zayne has uploaded every single one of those teasers - and is pleased with how the viewers are reacting. They are sure to have a full house that first night.

He has also been working on a few personal projects. He has recently joined one of the smaller political parties and is organizing a demonstration in San Myshuno.

 

On his way there, he texts Madelynn and asks if she wants to tag along. She seemed like a fun girl - from their one night together at the club.

She meets him there.

 

Together, they join the small demonstration in the square. Not many people stop to listen, but Zayne is certain that with enough of these demonstrations, enough pamphlets handed out, people will listen.

 

"That was fun", Madelynn says as they finish the day at a local bar. "You do this a lot?"

"More and more", Zayne replies. "I'm sure people will listen to what we're saying soon."

Madelynn nods and sips her drink - alcoholic, since she wanted it to be and no bartender dares to protest his request.

"How do I join the party, then?" she asks.

 

Zayne grins, then tugs her away from the bar to the bathroom. In no time he has them both naked from the waist down and is rubbing her entrance with his fingers. She moans and leans back into him.

"Want to join?" he whispers in her ear.

"Yes."

He pushes into her.

 

It is late when Zayne returns home. Bella is already asleep and he is soon snoring deeply next to her. Which makes it very easy for Bella to wake up and get out of bed, following the silent command to come downstairs.

 

Desmond is there. At the sight of him, she pulls off her clothes.

"Bella", he says, walking up to her. She falls into his arms and he starts feeling her out.

"My princess", he whispers as he pushes a finger into her. She moans, head dropping back.

"Master..."

 

Soon, his clothes are off as well and he is pushing his cock into her, fucking her gently on the floor.

"My princess. My Bella."

 

After he spills into her, he makes them both get dressed. It is already getting light outside. He lifts her up into his arms with a smile.

"Eventually, I will rescue you", he says. "I will get you out of this."

 

Zayne is surprised to find Bella's side of the bed empty in the morning. He is even more surprised when he finds her sleeping on a couch downstairs.

But, at least they are then less likely to be discovered by the twins.

"Bella", he whispers, nudging her awake while his hands run down her body. "Bella, wake up."

 

She does, smiling slightly at him - and his hard cock, which is right in her face.

"Good morning", she says, running her lips along the shaft once before taking him in her mouth. He groans, thrusting lazily as she takes him in more and more.

After they are done, Zayne puts on his boxers again.

"Ready for tonight?"

 

Her first performance.

She still is not quite sure about the whole arrangement, but she agreed to it. So when the time comes, she goes with Zayne to the club.

Her performance is held in a private part of the club. A whole drove of men - known and unknown - have arrived to watch her dance.

 

She vaguely notes the club owners - Riccarde Abbelli and Mike Presley - discussing something in the background. Perhaps how much money she is bringing in to the club.

Then, after she finishes her performance, Mike walks up to her, clapping his hands.

"Well done. Now, come with me."

 

There is another room behind the one she danced in. It is nearly bare, except for a bar, a couch and a large, double bed. Zayne is already there, handing her a drink, then handing one to Mike.

"To a grand performance", Mike says with a grin, clinking their glasses together.

A few drinks later, the three of them are on the bed. Bella whimpers as both Zayne and Mike thrust into her - but somewhere in her mind, she knows that they will not let her leave.

She is a trapped princess.

The Vatore Household

 

Kyra did not want the life of a vampire.

She is happy that whatever Wolfgang and Morgan did to her went away when she was turned - but living as a vampire, with a human toddler, is not something she ever wanted to do.

 

Lilith has noticed Kyra's avoidance and is determined to try and help her. It is difficult, however, because Kyra seems to have decided that it might be better for her to wither away than to try and survive in her new kind of existance.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

To help Kyra, Lilith has decided to start up a garden - to grow plasma fruit.

It is a surprise, of course, but hopefully it will help Kyra feel better once they are grown. For now, Lilith is making sure that the fridge is stocked with plasma packs.

 

Hanna is a different matter. She loves her new life as a vampire; having power over people is intoxicating.

 

Her nights out have been noticed.

"You are a newcomer", the vampire says. Hanna smiles.

"Yes. I am."

"But you have talent. How about I teach you the ways of being a vampire?"

 

Hanna grins, showing her fangs. The other vampire - Jace Hartman - nods in approval.

"First, show me your true form. A hunter does not hide."

She does - and then spends the rest of the night learning from Jace.

 

After sleeping through the next day, Hanna wakes up to Caleb walking into the room. Other than their night together shortly after her change, they have not slept together - but it is clear Caleb wants to be more with her.

Sure, he is cute, but he is not for her. He is a way for her to... become something else.

"Want me to teach you a few techniques tonight?" he asks. Hanna gives him a smile.

"Sure, Caleb."

 

The sun is hardly below the horizon when they head outside. Hanna watches Caleb show of various skills he has as a vampire and explain - in a very detailed way - how he learned them, completely ignoring the smile she plastered on her face and the impatient tap of her foot in the snow.

 

"You should go hunt for a bit", Caleb says after a while. "We've done a lot of training."

"Yes, we have", Hanna agrees. "I'll see you later."

Caleb feels himself almost skip up the stairs to the office at the top of the house to speak with Lilith.

"So, how did training go?" Lilith asks.

"Good. I think Hanna will learn how to handle herself easily."

Lilith nods and smiles, hiding her worried thoughts. She is not that certain about Hanna.

 

And, perhaps, her worries are sound - because while the Vatores are conversing, Hanna has gone off to hunt, using what Jace taught her the night before.

 

While drinking from the teenager's neck, Hanna finds that she can feel Jace approaching. She releases the girl's neck and turns around, grinning.

 

Jace watches her from the road, also grinning.

"Well done", he says, nodding at the collapsed girl. "It seems you are a fast learner. We should take this to the next level."

Hanna cocks an eyebrow.

"The next level?"

 

They walk over to the collapsed girl together.

"Command her", Jace says. "Command her to stand up."

Hanna does. The girl slowly rises, swaying where she stands.

"Command her to serve."

The girl blinks as Hanna does this.

"Yes, mistress."

Hanna grins, then makes the girl offer her an arm - and Jace her neck. The girl moans as they drink.

 

It makes her feel... powerful. Strong. And hungry for more than blood. Jace chuckles, as if he can sense it.

"She is yours to command, Hanna", he whispers. "Think of what she should do for us."

Hanna releases the girl's arm and watches her strip. One item at a time drops to the floor.

"Bon apetit", Hanna says, grinning at Jace as they both go down on her again.

 

When they have satisfied their needs, Hanna makes the girl - whom she has now learned, thanks to probing her head, is named Jenny Park - dress up and leave. To live her life as normal until she is called back.

"Well done", Jace purrs as they watch the girl leave.

 

"It seems you and I make a good team", Jace says, turning towards Hanna.
"So it does", Hanna replies, smiling at him. Jace grins and steps in closer.

"You and I, we can do a lot together. We can change the way vampires live."

Hanna shivers.

"Then let's start."
He pulls her towards him in a hard kiss.

The Goth Household

 

It is almost Juliette's birthday and her fathers are planning a small dinner party to celebrate.

 

Salim has been in charge of inviting people - specifically the Whitlocks.

 

And Mortimer has made a cake for them all to share.

 

Click to continue!

Spoiler

The dinner party is pleasant. Mortimer might not have known the Whitlocks - Bradley and Miriam - before, but he finds them pleasant enough. And Juliette, though the only child attending, seems to enjoy the company of the grown-ups.

 

They finish the night with cake and celebrating Juliette becoming a teenager. Before leaving, Miriam Whitlock asks to use the bathroom and disappears. Meanwhile, Bradley shakes Mortimer's hand.

"You have a good daughter."

Mortimer is not sure how to interpret that comment.

 

Meanwhile, Miriam has not gone into the bathroom. She is in the kitchen, preparing a dish. Once done, she leaves it on the counter and leaves, shaking her hands as if there is still some water on them as she joins Bradley by the door.

 

As the night falls, Salim and Mortimer spend some time together, lazily kissing on the bed. Salim constantly worries about Mortimer's health and thus insists on them not having sex as often as before - and, after a night like this, kissing is all that they both have energy for.

 

Mortimer does, however, have a habit of waking up in the middle of the night and going downstairs for a snack. It has made him get a little rounder around his midsection, but Salim does not mind.

 

"Hm, what is this?" Mortimer says, taking the plate of freshly prepared sushi from the counter. It smells delicious.

Perhaps Salim left it for him as a bit of a surprise. He knows how much Mortimer loves sushi.

 

After a few bites, however, Mortimer starts to feel strange. Like he cannot breathe.

Oh... no...

 

In the morning, Salim and Juliette find Mortimer's corpse in the kitchen. They immediately call for an ambulance - and the police - but it is too late.

Mortimer is dead.

 

The funeral is a small gathering of mourners, quickly organized. Afterwards, Juliette begins to worry about her other father - Salim.

It seems he does not miss Mortimer as much as he should.

 

And perhaps her worries are sound - because shortly after the funeral, Jacob Dark appears in the house.

 

He hardly needs to use his powers on Salim anymore - after all this time, his claws have dug in deep, and Salim's sadness shifts to blissful happiness at the sight of the vampire.

"Invite me to live here", Jacob commands.

"Live here", Salim mumbles. "Live with me. Live here."

 

Simple. Easy.

Jacob moves in, which makes Juliette even more suspicious of what is going on. For now, the vampire is ignoring the girl. He will deal with her later.

After he has satisfied himself with Salim - who is finally his and only his.
