Simon POV.
“We know what he’s up to!” Lucas says running into the house, he got some news and he can’t wait to share them with us, after we found out what we could from Thomas and Logan, we decided to stay home, to do nothing, I actually cuddled my wife, enjoying her touch, what if I lost her, what if I never got the chance to hold her again, after this war.
“We’re here,” I call out, we’re using the living room that I never used for cuddling, maybe for fucking, once or twice for a meeting, but we never use it for cuddling. When Lucas and AJ walked in, they looked at the two of us, cuddling under a blanket, we did turn the air conditioner up a bit to make sure the room is cold and the cuddling would go even better.
“Are we interrupting something?” Lucas asks looking at us.
“Yes, you are, now tell me what did you find out?” I ask him, wanting and needing to find out what he’s up with. Did he find out who the other vampire lord is?
“The thing that Elijah wants from you, he’s using Sophia to get you on his side, he wants you to go through a war with him,” he says, nothing we didn’t find out yet.
“And who’s this war with?” I ask him, although I had a good idea of who it is, but I’m asking to check if Lucas found something else.
“Another vampire Lord, he’s one that’s big in the mafia world, hence why he wanted us on his side, we’re one that belongs to the humans, and we’re known out there,” Lucas says, nothing new in here, I simply rolled my eyes at him.
“You knew,” AJ the traitor says, looking at me and I nodded, I did know all of those.
“We did find out the same information so far, but I need more, who’s the one we’re going to go through war with?” I ask them, and now that was information I didn’t have yet.
“If I had to take a wild guess, I’d say it’s Rain,” AJ answers me.
I knew Rain, or at least I knew enough about her, she’s also known as the Storm, a cold-hearted vampire boss, queen of the dead and the underworld, well a queen in her own way, she’s one of the biggest mafia bosses out there, she doesn’t have humans in her rank, only the creature of night, and I knew that since I always made sure to be on her good side.
“Rain,” I and Lucas say at the same time with a groan, we knew her, and we knew better not to get on her bad side.
“What are we going to do now?” AJ asks looking at us.
“How familiar are you with Storm?” I ask him, he had spent time with Elijah, I’m not sure how long, but he used, still is one of his man, if they had something against Rain, then we should find that out now.
“Elijah hates her, she’s younger than him, we haven’t met much, but in the rare ocassion we did meet, he didn’t like her much, and she was too much for me to take,” AJ answers.
“Does her line of work has anything to do with why he wanted to be a mafia boss all of the sudden?” I ask him, he wanted to be part of this work, he wanted to take over mine to be specific so if I had to guess, I’m pretty sure that’s why.
“Well yeah, Elijah is fucking jealous of her,” Aj says with a sigh, now what to do, we can go to her, but she could refuse giving us any kind of protection, she could kill us or call Elijah telling him that we’re not on his side and that could end up even worse than the first outcome.
“What are we going to do now?” Sophia asks.
“Get ready for the war? And we’ll have to survive it, once we’re done, I’ll call Thomas again, I’ll ask for his protection and we’ll be out of their little game,” I say with a sigh, that’s the best we could come up with for now.
“So what do we do?” Lucas asks next.
“As I said, get ready for war, call our man, get us guns, make sure we’re tighter than ever with the underworld, we swear and promise nothing to Elijah,” I explain, the fact that I have to explain everything to them.
“We’ll get to that, what about you two?” Lucas asks us.
“We’re good here, cuddling, get away,” I say making Saint laugh, we might do some more than just cuddling, but that’s all he got to know.
“Cuddles? Or are we getting baby simons on the way?” Lucas asks and I growled at him.
“Hey, AJ can vampire get pregnant? Or better yet make someone pregnant?” Lucas asks laughing at loud.
“I know you love your fantasy stories, but she can’t get anyone pregnant, and I doubt the mafia boss would agree to be pegged by her,” AJ says and Saint’s face went bloody red.
“Go,” I order them, and they leave my sigh, leaving me alone with her.
“Simon,” she whisper when it’s just the two of us now.
“Sophia,” I answer, I love her name, but it’s special, I prefer to keep it for myself.
“What does pegging means?” she ask me and I laughed out loud at her, she’s really innocent.
“Come close, I’ll tell you,” I say, making her get closer to me, I then whispered quickly what that word means, and her whole face turned red, her eyes went big.
“We won’t do that,” she says an dI laughed again, she should know on her own that I won’t let her do anything like that.
“We won’t, now relax, let’s get back to cuddling,” I say hugging her in my arms.
“I love cuddles,” she whispers, melting into my arms.
