A Game of Lies & Seduction

History of Magic Galla

Theodore

Theodore stretched as he woke up, running a hand over his face as he took in the three women asleep in his bed around him. It had been a week since they started business with the Bulgarians, a week since Ariella Black had looked at him like that. Theo was used to getting what he wanted, not once had a single woman ever caught his attention for more than a few hours. Here he was waking up after a very busy night with three girls in his bed, let alone one and he still found himself thinking about his best friend's ex. He hadn't ever fancied the girl, she had been unattainable during their school years, more of a sister really. He knew she was only showing him any interest because he was Mattheo's best friend, using him to make Matt jealous. With how many women Mattheo was working through in this last week alone he guessed he was bitter about Ari showing up. He refused to discuss it, even with him, but he also made no move to get her back and he showed her nothing but anger.

Ultimately, she was forbidden fruit and the idea made her that much more alluring, he knew if he had her just once he could flush her out of his system. He untangled himself from the girls around him and got up, not caring to be quiet or gentle, they roused sleepily around him, “I'm going to shower, don't be here when I get out” He told them as he walked into the bathroom. He found himself thinking of those lustful green eyes looking up at him in a way that made him question his own morals, not that he had many, but his best friend's ex was a line he was trying to steer clear of. He was growing hard under the hot spray of the shower, even after he had fucked himself into exhaustion the night before, he groaned as he washed the soap from his hair. Sleeping with the enemy was also something he tried to avoid, even if it made the sex that much hotter, he hated mixing business with pleasure.

It annoyed him to no end that Draco seemed to have finally grown a pair of balls and admitted his feelings. He wasn't an idiot, he watched Draco pine after the girl for years, he locked it down when Mattheo started dating her and for that, Theo had always respected the guy. It wasn't a secret, Draco had been fucking miserable with Pansy the last couple of years but for some reason, he held onto his relationship with her. In less than 48 hours Ariella had resurfaced in their lives and literally flipped the switch on all of them. Mattheo hadn't left his Penthouse all week, the only place he stayed when he was entertaining women, they had barely heard from him. Draco was finally ending things with Pansy whether that had anything to do with Ariella or not Theo was relieved, he genuinely seemed happier. Theo had stayed only a couple of nights at the Mansion, every other night he had been entertaining his own female company in the Penthouse across from Mattheo's. The girl was a damn bomb that was ready to go off, he knew it deep in his bones and that was dangerous, but he also didn't seem to care.

He also couldn't figure out if she was with Viktor fucking Krum, he made it sound like it but left with other women, was their relationship open? Ariella had been damn near oblivious to everyone and anyone outside of Mattheo when they were dating, she was the epitome of loyal, but that was also how many years ago. Fucking her behind Krum's back would just be a bonus, he fucking hated the guy, especially after what he had pulled with Zabini five years ago. He wrapped a towel around his waist and walked out of his bathroom toward his closet, happier now that his bed was empty and the girls had seemed to clear out. Once he was dressed he walked through the apartment flicking his wand toward the coffee machine as he opened his balcony and stepped outside.

Mattheo was already out there, a coffee mug in his own hand as he gazed out over the balcony. “Meeting at the Mansion in thirty” Matt said without looking at him, he stalked back into his own apartment. They shared a balcony strictly for the sole purpose of sharing women, they had often swapped once they had grown bored. He pulled out his phone and texted the rest of the crew to be at the Mansion in thirty. They all had their own places but the Mansion was their home base, every residence was heavily secured with magic and muggle means but the Mansion housed their operation. Product, weapons, transportation, there was a medical supply stock and the entire Mansion was a fortress of a safe house. When there was trouble, Mattheo usually ordered them all to stay in the Mansion, bringing in their families and anyone vulnerable to risk.
