The Bond

19

The weeks after Sebastian and I kissed for the first time in the hospital have literally been filled with nothing but peace and love.

Victoria, Killian and Joseph moved into the house which annoyed Sebastian at first but after we planned a surprise movie night for him to get his mind off of everything that he's been dealing with, he became more okay with them living with us. He's been having meetings with the neighboring werewolf and shifter packs, trying to make them sign peace treaties which most of them have signed except for one. It just so happens to be the same pack that had Sebastian and Callia take Ned in exchange for the story Vanessa was writing. They keep making all these extra conditions but won't sign the treaty which has been making all the Lycan angry, especially Killian who keeps threatening to kill all the members of the pack.

Callia said she didn't want to live in a house with five other people which I was glad for, but she literally comes here everyday and sometimes even stays the night which annoys the hell out of me. Sebastian is always teasing me about the irrational dislike I have for Callia.

Vanessa and I had a girls night out the week after we both found out what her parents did and it literally brought us so much closer. She has cut off all contact with her family which makes me happy yet sad. I mean they are her family and no one should have to cut off their family. I asked her to move in so she wouldn't feel too alone in the apartment but she keeps swearing that she's fine and call it a mother's intuition, but I know she isn't and all I want to do is make her feel a part of something. But she doesn't want to live in the same house with Killian which is understandable, he is so disturbing sometimes.

Today all the Lycans are at yet another meeting to try and convince that pack to sign the treaty again.

"We'll use force if we have to." Killian said confidently before they left.

Since I didn't want to be left alone I called Vanessa and asked her to come over, Sebastian had already called Callia over and right now she's sitting across from me, stuffing her face with caramel covered popcorn which I made yesterday...for me. I am currently making steak, medium rare.

"Yoo-hoo, anybody home?" I hear Vanessa exclaim.

"In the kitchen!" I yell back.

It's quiet until she bursts through the door with bags from Victoria's Secret hanging on her arms.

"Hey beauties! Look what I got Lia!" She exclaims excitedly as she places the bags on top of the counter.

I take my steak off the stove and place it on my plate. I grab a fork and steak knife and take a seat across from Callia.

"Why the hell do you have lingerie bags on the kitchen counter?" Callia asks with an attitude.

"Because there's nowhere else to put them. But that's besides the point, look at all the cute lingerie I got for you!" She squeals as she takes out a deep red lace babydoll with a matching G-string.

My eyes go as wide as saucers at the provocative pieces of clothing.

"Why would you buy me that?" I ask.

"Um because you asked me to." She says in a 'duh' tone.

"You asked her to buy you lingerie? Why didn't you buy it yourself?" Callia asks with a snicker.

"I didn't ask her!"

"Yeah you did, remember when you called me like a week or two ago complaining about missing sex?"

"Vanessa!" I exclaim, discreetly looking sideways at Callia who's tiny snickers have turned into loud guffaws. "I was not complaining about sex!"

"Yeah you were. You were like 'I miss having really bomb ass orgasms' and the you were like 'I have to sleep next to a sexy ass guy every night and I have yet to do anything sexual with him' and then you were like 'I still remember all four times we did it that night'."

This causes both Callia and I to choke on our foods. Vanessa could so careless with her words sometimes.

"You weren't supposed to repeat it." I mumble before taking a huge gulp of water.

"Oops. Anyways, I said why don't you just tell him you want to have sex and do it and you were all like 'I don't feel sexy enough' 'I'm not even sure he wants to have sex with me'. Which by the way, is total bullocks because that man practically undresses you every time you walk into the room." Vanessa says with an eye roll.

"That is true. I've never seen Sebastian be so infatuated with someone before and I've seen him with a lot of women." Callia comments.

"Are you sure?" I ask hesitantly.

"Oh yeah, plus he won't quit talking about you, I'm surprised Killian and Joseph still want to hang out with him." She adds.

"Okay, so what do I do?"

"I say wait till he gets home and get naked. That'll get him in the mood quick and fast." Callia offers.

"No! Did you not hear me? She doesn't feel sexy and you know what makes women feel sexy? Lingerie!"

"Vanessa's right. I'd feel way more comfortable wearing something. But I'm not sure a G-string is comfortable."

"That's okay, because I also have this!" Vanessa says as she pulls out a sheer top and matching panties.

"That's not so bad." I say as I reach out and take the lingerie out of her hands to inspect it. It has small ruffles along the bottom seams and tiny rhinestones on around the neck area. It's also super soft.

"You'll practically be naked, what's the big difference?" Callia asks.

"Um, she'll feel sexier." Vanessa answers for me. "Anyway, what do you think Lia? Is it, the one?"

I roll my eyes at Vanessa's dramatic tone but I nod my head yes.

"Eeee! Okay, now come on we gotta get you all dolled up." Vanessa exclaims.

"Whoa, wait a minute you want me to do it tonight? With his friends, practically siblings, in the house?" I shriek.

"I'll take them out. They've been wanting to go out for a while. I don't think Victoria even knows what a club is. And knowing Sebastian, he'll want to stay home with you." Callia says, raising her eyebrow as if to ask if it was okay.

"Well?" Vanessa presses.

"I don't know, I haven't shaved..."

"We'll go to the waxing place right now." Vanessa hurriedly adds.

"Why do you want me to have sex so bad?"

"Because I haven't had sex in years and I need someone to remind me what it feels like. So if you have sex you can tell me all the delicious, crude details. It'll keep me satisfied for at least a month."

"Vanessa!" I yell as Callia breaks out into another fit of laughter.

"What? A girl's got a survive somehow. Now, come on, the lady at the waxing shop owes me a favor so she can do it for free. Callia, set up the whole club thing. Okay let's break!"

I shake my head as I follow behind my energetic best friend.
