Bloody dreams of you

@ Jinx...

Thibault kissed her back, promising to be with her shortly, giving her ass a light smack before she left. He spoke to Alain briefly, wanting the boy to be clear that he'd be allowed to share Cassia only when he allowed it, not wanting the boy to get any ideas. Once he was done he went to their room and joined Cassia in the shower, wrapping his arms around her from behind as he ran his hands over her naked body. "You're so beautiful, my love.. I have a few ideas in mind now that I know what you like." He smirked, kissing her neck.

---

Rosemarie moaned loudly as he came into her, grateful that he was supporting her, as after such an amazing and intense orgasm she likely would have fallen over. She moaned when he pulled out of her, he seed leaking down her thighs as she caught her breath, nodidng when he suggested that they shower. "Yes.. We should get cleaned up.. Although I'm tempted to encourage you to seduce me in the shower." She giggled, pressing a light kiss to his lips.

@ katahdin
Cassia moaned feeling Thibault's hands on her. She hummed and rested her head back against him. She chuckled as he said he had some ideas. "Oh do you now?" she looked up a him and bit her lip. "I have some very naughty fantasies I don't think you could guess in a million years." she said and turned wrapping her arms around him. She leaned up on her toes kissing him. "How are you feeling? Hungry?" she asked and ran her hands into his hair. Cassia wondered how he felt about all of this and was really curious what he had in mind for their next adventure. She looked up at him and into his eyes and bit her lip. "I want to travel." she said suddenly. "I love our home but I want you to show me the world. Like a honeymoon." she giggled and ran her hands over his chest.

---

Zane groaned needy against her lips as he kissed her back. He pulled back and chuckled. "My mink you will keep us in bed all night." he said and kissed her before gathering her in his arms and crying her off to the shower. He set her on the counter as he prepared the shower. "I would love to say yes but we have to meet the team and organize travel plans and all. We will be leaving tomorrow. Besides didn't you want to see the pyramids before we leave?" he asked and picked her up taking her into the shower letting the warm water cascade over her body before he set her on her feet.

@ Jinx...

"I would love to hear about them. Please share." Thibault encouraged, pressing kisses down her neck as he pulled her closer, sighing contently as she ran her fingers into his hair before asking him to travel with her. "I don't know, Cassia... It would be fun, I'm sure, but the world is a dangerous place, and I know that I can protect you here, but in certain places it will be hard.."

---

Rosemarie giggled as he carried her to the shower, nodding as he mentioned the pyramids, sighing happily when the water ran over her body. "You're right.. The pyramids sound fun. How long will your meeting be? And where are we traveling to next?" She asked curiously, leaning into his arms comfortably as she ran her fingers over his chest.

@ katahdin
Cassia giggled as he asked he to share. "I might be persuaded if you share some of your deep and personal secretes." she said and hummed as he kissed her neck. She frowned at his response to traveling. "Thibault... that sounds more like a no than let's talk about it. We're partners so we should talk about it. I don't want to force you but since you only will let me have one short normal life, I kind of want to make the most of it. So I would really like to go to France and see the Louvre and the Eiffel tower. Or to Italy to see the Colosseum and the leaning tower of Pisa. I want to dive into the beaches of Greece and sail a boat. I want to take a train through a country side I have never been to before but I want to do this all with you. I want to wake up in bed next to you as the lights come on, the moon rises and the stars twinkle over the most fascinating and foreign places." Cassia cupped his cheek. "Let's just look into it and you can help make the plans so we are safe. Please? Just for a couple months. We could stop by where your sister lives and I can meet her. I want to live life with you and as much as I love our home I want to experience it all with you. We went out the other day and nothing terrible happened. I was a little culture shocked but how will I get any better at it if I don't experience it?" she smiled softly. "I'll be smart beside I will be right next to you the entire time." she kissed his shoulder then turned grabbing the soap and starting to run the soapy rag over his skin.

---

Zane grinned and looked down at her smiling. "The meeting will only take an hour max. We just have to decide a few things. It's a surprise but we will be going by boat from Alexandria." he said and rubbed her back. "I have a special tour that will take you into the pyramids." he said. "Excited for that? /Not many people are allowed in still." he said and took the shampoo rubbing it into her scalp. Zane washed her hair out and then did his own before conditioning her hair and kissing her lis sweetly. Zane was so excited to show her the world.

@ Jinx...

"I've lived for a very long time, Cassia, I don't have many secrets." He admitted, pressing a kiss to her lips, frowning as she spoke to him about traveling and listed off everywhere she wanted to go. "I want to do all that with you too, my flower. But most vampires are not like me, they're territorial and there are strict rules and hierarchies. Depending on the places we go, some may expect me to introduce you, and some respect the fact that you are my blood bond, but that doesn't stop them from taking things other than your blood from you." He warned her, pulling her into his arms. "I'll try to figure something out, I promise, but I won't risk putting you in danger."

---

"Is it Greece? Turkey?" She asked curiously, trying to guess where it was they were going next. She smiled up at him excitedly as he mentioned going in the pyramids, but frowned after a moment. "Are you going on the tour too? I don't want to go by myself.." She frowned, worried he'd send her off on her own while he was at his meeting. She relaxed a little as he massaged the shampoo into her hair, her arms wrapped around his waist loosely as she looked up at him adoringly.

@ katahdin
Cassia smiled. "Well you hold things tight to the chest around me." She sighed as he frowned and started to explain it all. She washed her body then her hair as he warned her. He then pulled her into his arms and she looked up at him. "Okay then let's just pick just one place for now. France. How bad can they be? You can prepare me, maybe we can convince them to let you join and things will be fine. Just... just think about it, look into it. I won't push but I want a honeymoon my love." she said. Cassia cupped his face with her hands and kissed him. She rinsed her hair then stepped out of the shower. She dried off then went to go get dressed. Cassia dried her hair as she looked out the window. "I have to go meet with Madeline to order a few things. I will meet up with you later my love." she said and kissed him again. "I'll see you for dinner." she winked at him.

---

"You will just have to find out my sweet." Zane said as he washed her hair. He was just soaping up the sponge when she asked if he was going with her. "Yes of course, right after the meeting we will go together. Maybe Celtin will come with as well." he smiled and kissed her lips. As he shape their bodies up he made it as sensual as he could because life was to short with her. Once they finished up their shower he wrapped her in a towel then dried off with his own before going to grab some cloths from his case.

@ Jinx...

Thibault frowned worriedly as he listened to Cassia speak, but nodded reluctantly as he held her close. "I'll think about it and try to figure out a safe place to go, my dear. I promise, I'll try. It might take a few weeks or months of planning, but I'll plan something for you." He promised, pressing a loving kiss to her lips before she got out of the shower. He finished showering before coming out, grinning a little as he looked at her in that dress. "Cassia, you're such a tease.. Alright, I'll let you go and see you later. But first tell me one of your fantasies to keep me busy." He murmured, reaching her hands around her to squeeze her ass gently. He wanted to be able to surprise her with something when she came back, but he wanted to have an idea of what to do for her.

---

Rosemarie happily kissed him back, whining and moaning softly as washed them, whining a bit needily as he stopped to turn off the shower and wrap her in the towel, looking up at him with a little pout. "You're not going to finish? No fair." She whined, following him over to his suitcase to wrap her arms around his waist to run her hands up his chest, pressing little kisses to his back and shoulder. "We can be quick, like yesterday before we got on the plane. I'll let you do whatever you want, I promise."

@ katahdin
Cassia chuckled as he called her a tease. She turned to him giggling and then moaned softly as he grabbed her ass holding her close. "To keep you busy huh?" She chuckled. "I don't know Thibault, you'll probably tell me no. It's strange." she said and bit her lip. "You'll want to talk about it and I don't have all day." she said and cupped his cheek sighing as she looked into his pouty face. "You always get what you want don't you?" she kissed him and bit her lip. "Okay fine but don't judge me." she pressed into him. "I was in the kitchen one night when it was kind of empty and I just imagined us there on the ground you fucking me hard like you had no control and I was all you needed but the weird part is that I was covered in blood and there was blood around us..." She blushed and shook her head. "It is really hard to get the kitchen staff cleared out anyways so it wouldn't happen but there it is." she said and kissed him again. "Confession... I like when you bite me." she whispered and nipped at his jaw before pulling away. "Okay you got your one now I will be on my way." she said and blew him a kiss from the door trying not to pay too much attention to how he was reacting. She went to the servant quarters and went to find Madeline.

---

Zane chuckled as she whined. He looked over his shoulder at her and sighed lovingly with a smile. He leaned over kissing her. "My love we are late." he said as he moved her over the bed. He ran his hands up her sides then down and kissed her his hands moving up her thighs. He ran his fingers over her clit circling it. "We must be quick." he said and slipped a finger into her feeling how wet she was. He felt like a god the way he always made her so wet. He kissed her neck and thrust into her. He gathered her to him and pressed her to the wall across from their bed. Zane kissed her neck. "It's not fair you know how to make me want you so with 7 little words." he said and nibbled on her earlobe.

@ Jinx...

Thibault grinned a little as she began to tell him her fantasy, pulling her closer by the hips as he hummed a little at the thought of it, happily returning her kisses. He groaned softly as she confessed that she enjoyed it when he bit her, feeling his cock twitch in his pants. He reluctantly released her when she said she had to go, pressing one last kiss to her lips before he settled onto the bed, thinking over her fantasy. After a while he called his servants and made arrangements for later, instructing the kitchen workers to be out of the kitchen for a few hours later that night so that he could please Cassia the way she wanted.

---

Rosemarie smiled at him and was ready to stop bothering him when he said that they were already late, but giggled as he lifted her up and carried over to the bed, moaning softly as his hands roamed over her body. She moaned louder when he pushed a finger into her, nodding a little as he told her they had to be quick. "We'll be quick.." She gasped as he pulled her into his arms and thrust into her, kissing her deeply as she wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, moaning as he pounded into her and pressed her against the wall. "O-Oh, Zane.." She moaned. She was still perfectly wet and tight despite them having made love earlier, fingers gripping his arms tightly.

@ katahdin
Cassia couldn't help but play that smirk over and over in her mind s she walked and the way his hips jolted to hers at her confession. She bit her lip and sighed shaking her head to help her refocus. Cassia smiled as she walked in on Madeline scolding one of the girls. "Well I am sorry!" the girl yelled. "I am just so deprived of sex! I just want Master Thibault to fuck me again but he has Cassia as his personal fuck toy!" Cassia chuckled and watched the girl spin and look at her turning a humiliated shade of red. Cassia came over and patted the girl's shoulder. Cassia believed her name was Kaya but she didn't quite remember. "Is that how all the girls see me? As a fuck toy for the master? Speak honestly." she said and the girl dropped her head. "No Mistress I was just upset." Cassia smiled. "It is Kayla right?" the girl looked up and nodded worriedly. "Well Kayla I assure you there is more to my relationship with master Thibault then just sex though we do truly enjoy it and practice it often, experiment frequently but I assure you he doesn't think of me as a toy at all." Cassia smiled. "Madeline will you assist me?" Cassia turned her attention to Madeline who smiled and nodded. They turned and left. Kayla stood there not sure what happened. Cassia smiled and walked with madeline. Are the girls really that use to sex that they are feeling a little empty without it?" she asked and Madeline chuckled. "Maybe a little but it is of no concern." Cassia nodded. "What have you come to me fore today Cassia my dear girl?" Madeline asked. Cassia smiled. "Truthfully I need more underwear... Thibault keeps ripping them off... not that I mind but it I need more." she chuckled. They talked and Cassia asked for a few other supplies they needed before they caught up a little. Madeline was still Cassia's confidant.

---

Zane moaned as he buried himself in her pounding quickly into her. "Rose..." he mumbled against her skin as his lips moved from her shoulder up her neck. He gently bit her neck careful not to puncture her skin. He wanted to please her. Zane ran a hand up into her hair and gently pulled her hair to give his lips more room on her neck to tease her with bites and he allowed himself to give her a hickey. It was a guilty pleasure of his but also a power play for the other vampires reminding them that she was his. Zane move his lips up to her mouth devouring her with his need for her. He was not holding back. Zane did not want to. He moved his hands up her thighs so he was holding her ass as he thrust into her.

@ Jinx...

After he'd finished arranging everything for later tonight Thibault left their room and decided to walk around the castle, checking in on things here and there as he passed. He hadn't been checking in on the operations and the people who lived on his home as often since becoming bonded to Cassia, so he thought it would be best to check in on some things and with those he could easily find out and about. When he remembered he needed something from Madeline as well he went looking for them, checking the various rooms he thought she might be, greeting the other servants and girls he came across as he did.

---

"Zane... Oh, Zane, harder.." Rosemarie moaned as he tugged her hair and bit and sucked at her neck, loving that he was marking her as his. Surely everyone else at the meeting would know what they'd been doing to make them late, but that just made it all the better in her mind. Her fingers tangled in his hair as she moaned loudly with each of his thrusts, knowing she was growing close to her high again as he was rough with her.

@ katahdin
Cassia laughed as Madeline told her about some of the girls since the change. She had never realized how much she had actually done in the house until Madeline pointed it out. "Some of them actually miss your little spunky spirit around them." she said and Cassia smiled. "That's actually really nice to hear." she said and smiled softly. It wasn't long before she heard the door open. Both girls turned looking at Thibault. Cassia smiled. "Hey handsome." she said and bit her lip. He sent a shiver down her spine. She didn't know what it was about him, perhaps it was how drastically handsome he was, or the emotions he invoked in her. He stirred feelings of love and lust inside of her in an instant. Cassia was just as much in love with Thibault as he was with her but there was one difference between them. Cassia was determined to stay with him for all of eternity no matter what it took to do that.

---

Zane moaned as he thrust harder into her at her request. He wanted nothing more than to feel her orgasm around him. He was so close to his own orgasm and he kissed her lips. "Cum Rosemarie." he growled out his order into her ear before burying his face in her neck inhaling her sent. He ran his hand down from her hair and teased her breast pulling at her nipple teasingly making it harder between his fingers.

@ Jinx...

Thibault smiled in surprise when he walked through the door to see Cassia and Madeline sitting and catching up. He realized that things had probably changed quite a bit for Cassia since the bonding had taken place, and he was glad to see that she'd taken time to speak to her old friend Madeline. "Hello dear, Madeline. I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting, but I wanted to speak to Madeline about some things about the house, although I can talk to her later so as not to interrupt you two." He smiled, walking over to press a quick kiss to Cassia's lips. "Will you be long?"

---

Rosemarie moaned needily as he thrust harder, kissing him back happily. She moaned louder as he ordered her to cum, nodding a little as she looked at him, moaning as he teased her breasts. "B-Bite me, Zane.. Please.. I want to feed you.." she moaned, crying out in pleasure as she reached her high, her walls tightening around him as she came around him.

@ katahdin
Cassia smiled as he came over. She kissed him back and then stood taking his arm so he would stop and look at her. "Stay we where just finishing up anyways." Cassia said and pressed a hand to his chest pressing him back into the chair. When he sat she slipped into his lap looking over at Madeline smiling. Madeline grinned loving to see the master so easy and young. Cassia was good for him her young heart brought so much life to Thibault. "What is it I can take care of for you Master Thibault?" Madeline asked. Cassia looked at Thibault her fingers tracing over the seams of his shirt. She had just seen him this morning and was finding that she had missed him.

---

Zane moaned as she begged for him to feed. He kissed up her breast until he came to her neck. He kissed it gently and then carefully ran his fang over her skin before sinking them into her beautiful skin. He moaned feeling her release almost simultaneously to his bite. He thrust into her a few more times as he drank from her. Zane moaned as he buried himself inside of her releasing his seed deep inside of her. He moaned and slowly pulled out of her and then his fangs. He licked the wound and watched it close up before he set her on her feet. "Okay my love we need to go." he kissed her lips then licked his lips and grabbed some cloths tugging them on.

@ Jinx...

Thibault happily pulled her into his lap, pressing a kiss to her ear as he smiled up at her before turning to Madeline. "I wanted to check in with you about what's been happening in the house since I've become bonded to Cassia. I normally spoke with you a few times a week about what has been happening around the house during the day, checking in with how the servants and girls are doing, that sort of thing. But since bonding with Cassia I haven't spoken to you much, so I wanted to check in with you now." Thibault explained, pressing a kiss to Cassia's cheek as he held her closer.

---

Rosemarie moaned loudly as he came inside of her and bit into her neck, clinging to him as she came down from her high. She kissed him lovingly as he set her down and stepped away, moving to the bathroom to tidy herself up before dressing and brushing out her hair, smiling at him once she was ready. "Alright, I'm ready to go.. Can I have another kiss?" She asked, wrapping her arms around his waist as she smiled up at him.

@ katahdin
Madeline chuckled. "Yes Master but to be fair most of those times where for an update with Cassia. If I had felt it my place there where many times I would have told you to stop living vicariously through me and talk to her yourself." she smiled and Cassia grinned looking at Thibault. She kissed his cheek then looked at Madeline. "You should tell him." she said and Madeline nodded. "The girls that use to be in your companionship are restless. They have the yearning." she said and Cassia bit her lip. she didn't know how Thibault would take this. She wanted to keep him all to herself unless she was feeling like sharing which wasn't going to be often enough for these girls to even have one night a month with her and Thibault. "Otherwise everything is running smoothly. Nothing outside of the norm." Madeline looked at Cassia then back to Thibault. Cassia couldn't help looking at Thibault wondering what he was thinking and how he would proceed with this information.

---

Zane chuckled and wrapped his arms around her swaying softly. "You never have to ask to kiss me." he said and leaned down pressing his lips to hers. He hummed and dipped her down kissing her deeper. He came back up and took her hand. "We really need to go." he said and lead her out of the room. He walked with her down to the car and slipped in with her. They headed to the meeting and walked into a restraint that was empty other than the waiting staff and a large table with about 7 vampires sitting around the table. Celtin looked up over the heads and laughed. "Look who showed up." he said and a couple other vampires chuckled. "Oh shut it Celtin, we are still newly bonded." he said and Celtin smirked. "Yes, yes we will all become painfully aware." he said as they both sat down. Zane sat Rose between him and Celtin leaving Zane sitting to a beautiful woman in a red dress, if you could really call it a dress. Zane greased her. "Theia." he said and she grinned and cupped one of his cheeks kissing the other leaving a red print of her lips on his cheek. The meeting started back up after Celtin caught Zane up on what they had already decided.

@ Jinx...

Thibault frowned as he listened to Madeline talk about the girls and how restless they had been, pulling Cassia closer as he pressed a kiss to her shoulder, as if trying to reassure her that he wouldn't do anything that would upset her. "What do you propose that I do, Madeline? I'm bonded to Cassia, and won't do anything she's uncomfortable with, and I won't betray her trust.. Should I give them to another vampire? Should I let them leave the house to find their own way?" He really wasn't sure what he ought to do in this situation, and wanted Madeline's advice.

---

Rosemarie happily kissed Zane back before getting into the car with him. She linked her arm with his when they walked into the restaurant, blushing at Celtin and the other vampires' teasing, taking her seat quietly and offering Celtin a shy smile in greeting. She looked over at Theia when she heard Zane greet her, frowning when she kissed his cheek and left the lipstick mark on his cheek, and she quickly looked down at her lap once the vampires began to discuss business, playing with her fingers in her lap as she got lost in thought. How did Zane know Theia? Had they dated before Zane met her? They seemed awfully familiar with one another... She'd never really given much thought to the women that Zane had been with before her, but seeing him with Theia made her incredibly self conscious, as she felt there was no way that she could compare or live up to the beautiful Theia.

@ katahdin
Cassia smile softly at Thibault and cuddling into his chest. Madeline looked at Cassia then back to Thibault understanding his situation. "It is a difficult decision my lord. You could give them the option to leave. Replacements are easy to find with a little convincing." she said. Humans were normally and instinctively scared to learn vampires where real, even if they believed it before they found out. They needed some suggestive precaution to relax and look at it as a lifestyle change to do as they where told. Madeline knew Thibault didn't often use his vampire abilities but there where times it was necessary. Madeline sighed and press her hands over her skirt. "I am sorry I can not tell you more of what to do for your home Master." she said and Cassia looked at Thibault. "Would you like me to talk to them Thibault see what they want?" she said hoping to help. She never realized how much their bonding would affect the house but Madeline was right. They got a taste of Thibault and wanted more. Cassia just couldn't blame them because she felt the same way. She could not get enough of Thibault, even now.

---

Zane looked over at Rosemarie seeing her fingers in her lap an he slipped a hand into her lap over her hands. He squeezed lightly not getting to distracted as he payed attention to the group talk about the best strategies. "Their blood lust will be their down fall. We can grab some bags of blood from a near by blood collection center and the sent will drive them wherever we want them to go. We may a trap and execute them from there." he said. Others nodded but Theia shook her head. "And if we attract to many at once that we can not handle?" Zane turned to her his shoulders tensing. "A few blood bags will not attract an entire swarm. If we wanted to do that we would need a couple live bleeding humans and you know it." he said and she pursed her lips then smiled at him. "Hell we can try it." She said and Zane grinned. "It is the most safe plan and also it will cause the least amount of suspicion." he said and Theia grinned. "Since when have you been worried about causing a scene?" she said and Zane laughed. "There are some scenes that are worth it," he squeezed Rose's hands again. "And some that are not." he said and sat back thanking the waiter that set down some food for Rose and an Irish whisky for him. They went on about a few smaller details and Zane looked over at Rose and took her hand lacing his fingers with hers and kissing it. Celtin looked over at them and smiled sadly. Zane smiled and sipped at his drink. It wasn't much longer until vampires started to leave the group feeling everything was sorted and the rest was just social interactions. Zane stood with Rose talking to Celtin when Theia came over. "Zane... Celtin..." she glared at Celtin and looked over Rose before grinning at Zane. "What has it been a few decades?" she asked. Celtin chuckled. "Yes. You remember the times more than I." he said and she chuckled. "Mmm teasing still Zane?" she kissed his other cheek and rubbed the lipstick smudging it. She handed him a napkin and looked at Rose. "Cute pet." she said and then strode out of the building and Zane frowned though was a little red. He looked in a mirror on the wall and cursed. "Theia." he rubbed the red marks she left on his cheeks looking at Rosemarie in the mirror. It was just her him and Celtin left. "What is it my sweet?" he asked her.

@ Jinx...

Thibault nodded a little at Madeline's suggestion, waving his hand dismissively when she apologized. "There's no need to apologize, Madeline, you've been very helpful, and I'm grateful." He offered her a smile before looking at Cassia when she offered to speak with the girls, considering it for a moment before nodding. "Yes, that might be good... They'd likely be more open to you than Madeline or me... But only do it if you feel comfortable, my love, they're likely jealous of you, and who knows what they'd say.." He murmured, pressing a kiss to her neck as he hugged her against his chest. He knew the girls could be jealous, as they had often fought among each other for his attention before Cassia and he had bonded, so who knows what they would do now.

---

Rosemarie glanced up at Zane when he took her hands and squeezed, squeezing his hand in return before looking back down at her lap, sitting quietly for the rest of the meeting. She released his hands when her meal was brought, murmuring a soft "Thank you" to the waiter before digging in, although she felt foolish being the only one eating and barely ate half of the meal, despite it being delicious. When Zane took her hand again and kissed it she blushed, glancing up at him shyly for a moment before looking away, not liking having all of the other vampires' attentions on her. When the vampires began to take their leave she allowed herself to relax a bit, standing close by Zane as he spoke to the others, chatting quietly with Celtin about this or that, although when Theia came over she tensed, nervously stepping away from Zane to hide a bit behind Celtin, not liking how Theia looked at her or how she spoke with Zane. Watching Theia kiss his cheek again and seeing him blush was too much, though, especially after she'd been called Zane's pet, quietly muttering an "Excuse me" to Celtin before hurrying to the bathroom locking the main door before locking herself in one of the stalls, feeling a bit better with two locked doors between her and everyone else, even if it wouldn't stop them from getting in if they really wanted to. She buried her face in her hands and tried to keep her tears at bay, feeling like a fool for thinking she was the only person Zane had ever loved or would ever love. How could she compare to someone like Theia? She was beautiful and immortal, everything that Rosemarie wasn't, and as soon as Zane realized that she'd be thrown out like garbage.

@ katahdin
Cassia nodded. "I know they are Thibault and I can't blame them. You have a way to make a woman obsessed with you." she kissed his lips gently. "But after the last girl that was crude with me... I doubt they will be too harsh." she said and rubbed his chest. Cassia kissed him gently again and stood. She wanted so bad just to straddle him right here and send Madeline away so she could have her way with her husband. Cassia sighed at the disappointment and leaned in nipping his jawline and moving from the room.

Madelin sighed and watched her leave. "She is a strong girl my lord." she said and looked back at Thibault. She will tell me what needs to be done and I will let you know if there is anything else that will need to be addressed. Madeline would do anything Thibault asked of her. She was his friend after all and had been with him longest.

Cassia walked into the staff quarters and found a big group of girls breaking in the living room. "Iris..." she looked at the girl gauging how she felt about her. "Yes Mistress Cassia?" Iris whispered. Cassia smiled softly. "Please gather the rest of the girls. I have a very important conversation to have with all of you and hopefully it will help you all find some joy." she said and Iris sprung up looking around before she took off. Cassia stepped into the hall grabbing one of the men servants. "I am sorry to interrupt our work but please bring tea and a treat for the girl servants." she said and he nodded and bowed before heading off to the kitchen. She looked around seeing them all eyeing her skeptically.

---

Zane finally got cleaned up and turned to explain to Rosemarie but his search came up empty. "Where is she?" his eyes panicked though it didn't hit his voice yet. Celtic came towards him with raised hands. "Calm down she just went to the bathroom." he said. Zane frowned. It was an odd time to go to the bathroom and she hadn't even eaten all her food. He ran a hand through his hair and moved over to the ladies room door knocking gently. "Rose..." he waited a moment then tried the door. It was locked and his throat hit the bottom of his stomach. "Rose open the door..." he said the panic finally hitting his voice. Celtin came up frowning and leaning against the wall. "Dude she's just going to the bathroom." he said and Zane shook his head. "No Celtin Rose doesn't go anywhere without me unless she is upset." he said. Celtin frowned. "It's the bond you know her better than anyone." he sighed. "Go have a seat let me talk to her... I think I know what might be upsetting her." he said and Zane ran a hand through his hair searching his thoughts. "Theia? No she's psycho and manipulative, there is nothing there." he said and Celtin nodded. "I know Zane I know now go sit down. I will handle this. She needs a friend right now." he said and pushed Zane gently back. Zane huffed and ran a hand through his hair. He walked over to the table and downed his drink hanging his head. He had been so focused on her safety he hadn't even thought of how Theia would get to her.

Celtin sighed. "Rosemarie... listen up. If you don't unlock the door and let me in I will have to break it down. I really don't want to do that. I would have to pay to replace it and it would scare you. We can lock it behind me, promise I will behave." he said his accent heavy with his playfully seductive voice. Celtin leaned against the door. "I'm not leaving until we have a little chat. You want to know about Zane and Theia don't you?" he asked. "You want to know how important you are to Zane right?" he asked softly hoping it was convincing her to unlock the door and let him in.
