Chapter 5

APRIL’S POV

I turned to the girls for an explanation but they just shrugged their shoulders, holding a worried look on their faces. I looked back toward the entrance. I hope Jazz will be fine. But who was that chick? I turned to the girls and they smiled at me.

“You can go April.” Lily suggested pushing off the couch. “I think you’re worried. Maybe we’ll come with you for backup?”

I nodded and we left the room. I searched around and I heard Jazz scream. We looked to each other and ran toward the end staircase. I didn’t know where he was so we just bolted down the hallway.

“JAZZ SHIFT!!!!!” I shouted. I know he can’t shift unless told to when he can’t focus.

I heard a door burst behind me and a horse came running toward me. I jumped on his back and the girls did too. “Go back to the door Jasper.”

He sped off and jumped down the stairs. The girls hopped off his back and ran up their stairs and Jazz ran up Austin’s stairs. When we reached the top the girl was grabbing at Jasper’s legs. She stopped at the door but we kept on running. Jasper shifted with me on his back still and we fell forward. We groaned and I saw someone looking down at me.

Austin looked like he was going to rip my head off. “Why are you two on the floor?”

“Well this crazy lady took Jazz so, me and the girls decided to go save him. We ran up another staircase and I shouted for Jazz to shift. When he did he changed into a horse so we all jumped on his back. We ran from the hall and went back to the main room where the girls jumped off quickly and Jasper ran up our stairs. The girl stopped when we entered the doorway but we kept running until Jazz got tired and shifted back into his human form. Then we met you. Hey loser.”

He smiled down at me and pulled me into his arms. He kissed my forehead and I pulled away so I could get to Jasper. “We have to help him first. I want him to be ok.”

Austin sighed but nodded. He picked Jazz up and carried him to our room. I sat by Jazz for a minute but he did not move so I left him there. I looked back to Austin and he was on his bed head in his hands. I sat next to him and rubbed his back. I wonder what’s wrong.

AUSTIN’S POV

I can’t believe Karolina did that. She took the boy and probably tried to rape him due to the lack of male slaves in the house. I don’t care if she is the only girl in the house. She has no right to attack my slaves though. We don’t touch her slaves so she is to not touch ours.

“Austin what’s wrong?” I looked over to April’s worried expression.

I looked into her eyes and they weren’t pale anymore. They were turning into a nice fuchsia color. I never thought that was possible. I was lost in them and found myself leaning into kiss her.

APRIL’S POV

Ok so I try to make him feel better and he leans into kiss me. I don’t really want to cave into his charms too fast so I moved to the side. Of course he didn’t care because he went to my neck where he bit me before. He kissed and sucked on my neck driving me crazy. He pressed me on the bed while I struggled to stop him from pulling up my skirt. Once he got on top of me there was a knock on the door. He growled and pulled me up. A sigh of relief escaped my lips as I fixed my skirt.

“Come in.” He shouted toward the door.

A hot guy walked in and eyed me. He then looked toward Austin. “Karolina has requested that you and your slaves come down to dinner. Everyone is required to come so dress up please.” And with that he left.

I turned to Austin and he sighed. “The girl you met was our younger sister Karolina. She’s stuck in the house with us because our parents want us to bond with her. She cut us off from her though and became a whore. I think that’s why she wants your friend.”

“Ok well I’ll tell Jazz when he wakes up in a few minutes. But what will we wear?”

“Well there are two sides to the closet in your room. The opening is the maid outfits but if you go further there are gowns that are appropriate for dinners, balls, and such. Jasper can wear one of my suits.”

I giggled and sat on his lap. I know he wasn’t expecting it but it didn’t stop him from wrapping his arms around my waist. I kissed him on his neck and slowly started to suck on it, making him moan. I smiled and kissed up to his ear. “I have to shower and get dressed Austin. You have to let go.”

I made sure I whispered it softly. He groaned and pulled me closer to him. “I’m not letting you go so you can see my sister.”

I smiled and kissed his cheeks before hovering his lips. When he leaned in for the kiss, I pushed him back onto the bed and he pinned me to his body. I sat up slowly and started to unbutton his shirt slowly just so I can make him think that I wanted him. When he moved his hands from my waist I got off of his chest and ran to my room. I locked the door and ran into my closet. I smiled and picked out my clothes for dinner. I chose a cute blue dress that stopped in the middle of my legs. I picked out a pair of blue heels and walked out of the closet to see Jazz starting to wake up. I smiled and plopped onto the bed next to him.

He smiled and kissed my forehead. “Ok so what happened since I was knocked out?”

“Nothing really Jazz. Just that we are going to dinner with the crazy lady who attacked you. She’s the brother’s younger sister.”

He nodded slowly. “And clothes? I think the stuff in there is too… slutty for a dinner party.”

“Further back in my closet are some gowns. You are going to borrow one of Austin’s suits.”

“Fine by me. I’m going to go shower and get ready before you get in. In the mean time can you get my suit?” I nodded to and crept to the door. I pressed my ear to the door trying to see if I could hear anything. Of course he would be on the other side ready to attack me but there was nothing I could really do about it. I opened the door slowly and stepped into the room.

I was making my way toward the closet when I was pinned to the wall. A pair of lips kissed my neck gently. I laughed as I was turned to face Austin. He kissed my lips which got me mad. “Next time you do that to me April you are going to be in a lot of trouble.”

“Well I did say that I had to go. I warned you.”

“Well next time you’re staying. Now what are you doing?”

“Well I have to get a tux for Jazz to wear.”

“Just get him a button down and slacks. You don’t have to be completely fancy.”

“Fine. Now get off of me.” I pulled away slightly but he pulled me closer. He smiled evilly and kissed me again. I nearly screamed, trying to protest but something in my body made me wrap my legs around his waist. He smiled and kissed down my neck. He groaned as I squeezed him, not for pleasure but for pain, and slammed me onto the bed. I tried to pull away before he went too far but he had me pinned down so I couldn’t move.

He started to pull up my shirt but Jasper came to my rescue. “Um April. It’s your turn to take a shower. And where’s the suit I’m supposed to wear?”

“I’ll get it. One minute.” Austin groaned and rolled off of me. I sat up and got the clothes out the closet. I handed them to Jazz and went to my shower. I washed slowly thinking of how much Austin wanted me. I kind of don’t want him because hello, I’m here against my damn will, but still I’m happy he’s not a damn stuck up prince who wants to marry whoever.

I stepped out the shower, dried myself off, pulled on my under clothes and put on my lovely dress. I noticed once I had it on that it had no back. I shrugged my shoulders and left the bathroom brushing my hair. Jasper was dressed in a pair of slacks and a nice button down. He looked hot if you ask me. “Jazz you look nice. You need to wear stuff like that more instead of your boxers all the time.”

“Well your parents didn’t know of me and you didn’t even have enough money for yourself. How were you supposed to get clothes for me?”

“Oh shut up Jazz. Let’s just get going before Austin gets mad.” He nodded to me and we left the room arm in arm. Austin was sitting on his bed fully dressed. He was the same thing that Jazz was wearing.

“You take forever. Learn how to get ready as if there things that need to be done.”

“Well I could’ve been ready sooner if someone wasn’t pinning me to the bed.” I replied smiling. He rolled his eyes and looked toward Jazz. “I’m not letting go of him. Your sister is crazy and I’m not losing him.”

“Very well. But I get your other arm April.” He grabbed it and we stepped out of his room. It was a very quiet walk. I mean what would you say if your crazy sister went after you slave/future wife’s best friend? Yea there isn’t really much to say about that.

We walked down the stairs to meet the rest of the house in the dining room. It was an extremely large table. I sat in the middle of Austin and Jasper. I kept my mind clear because I remembered that Tony could read minds. I wonder what the others can do.

“Well I can read minds as you know.” Tony started from across the table. Everyone looked around to see who was talking to until they all looked toward me. Tony decided to continue. “Justin is a shape shifter, James is physic, Austin can control your mind, and our dear sister has wings that she can retract into her.”

I nodded and thanked him, even though I would have likes to find out myself. Nosey behind vampire. The food came out as soon as their sister stepped in. She walked slowly and wore a slutty dress that I most likely had in my wardrobe. Tony shot me a warning look and I shut my mind off from him. Jasper was shaking nervously though. He didn’t like the sister at all. She bowed her head to everyone and scowled at Austin. “I thought it was me who got all male slaves in the house? I’m stuck around girls all the time and this was my only request. Just hand him over to me brother and we don’t have to continue this dinner. I have other things to do.”

Austin looked at her with an expressionless face. “I would love to pass him off to you but I can’t. He is bonded to my slave and future wife. They can not be separated. She needs him as he needs her. And even though you get all the male slaves does not mean that you can just take him from the servant’s quarters and do what you wish to him. He wants to go with you at will. You will never do such a thing again.”

I just sat there and absorbed the whole conversation. I didn’t really know what to say and there was nothing that I could do. This wasn’t fully my argument until Karolina said. “Well I don’t care about the little wench you want to marry. I’ll kill her if I have to get to the boy. Who is she that I have to respect?”

Now of course that pissed me off. I stood and pointed at her with my knife. “Listen here you bitch. I’m no damn wench. This boy here is bonded to me by blood. That’s why we were sold together. He can’t live if I’m not alive so deal with it. And if you ever kidnap him again I will kill you. I don’t care if I will be sold again or killed but I will make sure you are dead. UNDERSTOOD?”

She nodded and looked scared. I smiled evilly. “Good. Now I’ll be in my room. Let’s go Jazz.” I stabbed the knife into the table, grabbed some dinner rolls, and rose from the table. I grabbed Jasper’s elbow and we silently made our way to our room.
