Seven Deadly Sins

Twenty-One

Greed ate his chicken wings happily as he watched the dancer roll her body up and down the pole. "How did we settle on this?" Pride turned up his nose in disgust causing Val and Wes to laugh.

"You are so much like your brother it's ridiculous." Wes chuckled. Damien shrugged before taking a sip of his Manhattan. "You seven voted and you and Envy lost, so now you have to see what these strippers can do and enjoy your last day of freedom." Envy scoffed. "We were no longer free the moment Sloth invited Mikayla over to our house for barbecue and swimming."

"That seems like forever ago," Wrath said with a smile. "It's almost been two months. I mean, it's crazy how much has happened." Val nodded. "Time flies in the supernatural world. You lot just got lucky that you found the one human that seemed able to hold on for the ride."

They all nodded including Greed. "Can you clean your face?" Damien scolded his little brother who had lemon pepper sauce all over his mouth. "My bad." Greed chuckled before waving his hand and righting himself.

"Was it weird for you guys to all see your mothers this morning?" Wes asked cautiously. He was hit with an array of answers but noticed the way Damien, Pride and Gluttony shrugged dismissively.

"They all seem to like Marion and Mikayla, so that's something." Val offered earning nods. "It was really important for her to meet them, but we had no way of contacting them. How did they even know about this?" Sloth asked them. Wes and Val smiled widely. "Harlow?" Damien questioned shocked.

"You know your father can't say no to her and she wanted this for Mikayla, but also for all of you." Wes said with a smile. "I think it was a success." The guys nodded thinking on ways to thank their sister-in-law for making their wife happy.

"I wonder what they're doing." Envy said deep in thought. "Wave your hand and find out." Damien said plainly. Gluttony shook his head. "We made a promise that we wouldn't spy on her." Damien laughed heartier than he'd ever laughed before.

"You lot are fucking idiots. It's not spying if it's ensuring that the love of your life is safe or happy and not in need of anything. It allows you to anticipate her every want, need or desire and remain the best husbands you can be. But by all means, stick to your stupid promise."

They all looked at their stalwart older brother with open mouths. "Well damn." Greed finally spoke up before waving his hand. They were shocked to see what was in front of them.

Beep beep, is that my bestie in a Tessie?
Fresh blow out, skin on ten, ooh, she ready
Bitch, you look goodt, with a T at the end
I'ma hype her every time,
that my mothеrfuckin' friend

They watched as Harlow and Mikayla twerked on the bar and rapped to Saweetie and Doja Cat's hit song 'Best Friend.' "What in the world?!" Sloth asked shocked. "I can practically feed from the lust pouring out of the people watching."

"Fuck this." Gluttony said before disappearing. Greed watched as his brothers and Damien's best friends disappeared. "This is going to be so ghetto." He said before following them to V: After Dark. It was a nightclub owned by the Petrillo family who had been under their father's watch for decades.

They all stood there watching their wives lose themselves to the beat. When the brothers saw the thoughts of the men and women present, they lost it. "Harlow Marie Draven get down here now." Damien didn't even mind Baal, his demon, taking over.

His voice was one that commanded and domineered and the once jovial and lively bunch seemed a bit scared. Harlow looked at them in a drunken haze before smiling widely. If it weren't for Val's vampiric reflexes, he wouldn't have been able to catch her as she threw herself off the bar and into his arms.
