twenty-two | long night

Persephone unlocks the door to her house after struggling for a few moments, and quickly shoves the door open. Alice and Jasper follow her inside, three pairs of shoes making wet slushing noises against the wooden floors.

"Wait here, I'll go get some towels." Persephone says, rushing to the laundry room. She grabs as many towels as she can and hurries back to the foyer, where to two vampires stand. Their hair is plastered to their pale cheek's, and their clothes hug their figures in a way that makes Persephone's cheeks warm. She passes out the towels and they all take off their shoes before beginning the long process of drying off.

"I, uh, might have some clothes for you, Alice. Jaz..." She says, sliding her eyes over his figure. They linger for a moment more than necessary before she makes eye contact with him again. "I don't know if I'll have anything for you."

"It's alright, darlin'. We'll take whatever you have." Jasper originally was going to tell her they'll just dry off and head home, but the urge to linger overpowered any thoughts he had of giving the human space to process what she learnt when he noticed a trail of water slipping down her neck, under her soaking shirt's collar. Persephone smiled, oblivious to his thoughts, and turned to go upstairs. Jasper quickly looked away before he followed, only to see Alice's eyes burning into the human's back.

Jasper could feel her desire, and cleared his throat softly so that only she could hear.

"Down, girl." He joked, earning him a soft slap on the arm. Alice turned to him with darkened eyes that matched his own, and smiled.

"You, too." She breathed a deep sigh and leaned into him. His arms naturally wrapped around her waist. "It smells so good here."

Jasper had to agree. He, too, breathed in deeply. The house was entirely covered in Persephone's scent, with faint traces of Alice and Jasper from their times spent here. An animalistic urge called for them both to make their scent permanent here, to have it mix with Persephone's in every way so that this was their home, not just Persephone's. Their thoughts were interrupted by Persephone's sock clad feet pressing softly against the stairs.

Unfortunately, she had changed into a soft, silk pyjama tank top and sleep shorts. The two vampires were suffering – for one, their desire was heightened by the sight of so much soft skin exposed. They also were struggling to wrap their heads around why they couldn't always see this at night – their Persephone, dressed for bed with her wet hair falling around her shoulders. Couldn't they have this, forever?

"Here you go, Alice. Jasper, I only found some old boxers I bought a few years ago to sleep in." She says, embarrassed. She hands him the black boxers and Alice a similar outfit to hers, and smiles. "You know where the bathroom is."

Alice and Jasper nod and walk to the bathroom together, where they quickly remove their clothes and put on the ones that smell of Persephone. Alice turned to him, red silk pyjamas sliding smoothly over her skin, and smiled.

"Aren't you going to be embarrassed, Jaz?" She teased. "Or will you like her gawking at you?"

"Shutup." He said, turning away from her as he finished gathering his clothes. Alice slapped his ass and cackled when he turned around and glared at her. He found himself yet again thankful he cannot blush as he exited the bathroom.

Persephone's eyes trailed over him again, this time slower. They did the same to Alice, who followed closely behind him. Her desire hit him like a physical punch, and he felt all the air leave his lungs in a soft exhale.

"You," Persephone breathes, physically turning away from the pair. "You can stay here tonight. It'll be storming for the rest of the night, and you guys don't have a car."

Alice's eyes burn directly into Persephone. All three silently agree that it is going to be a very, very long rest of the night.
