Glass Souls

29

There were two things Leann found out about Janeen that she liked. The first is that Janeen could cook, really cook. She despised premade meals and refused to touch one. She took over the kitchen entirely when it came time for meals.

The second thing about Janeen, she really knew how to teach, she was actually a better teacher than Verruca. But she'd never tell either one that. 

Leann was learning the basics almost as soon as Janeen taught them, it was like she already knew but needed a refresher course.

During that time Janeen on the other hand watched and was amazed at the bond between Lance and Leann. She never would have believed anything like they have could even be possible. The more Leann learns the more the bond becomes a partnership and not a master slave relationship that all other bonds tend to be.

With the power of those two it was almost terrifying the potential they have. But she never reports any of that to Marina. She couldn't if she wanted to, Leann had made sure of that the first night she'd come. 

Soon Marina didn't believe the reports anymore and demands to see the two. Since this was actually one of Leann's orders Janeen is more than happy to comply.

"Marina, what a pleasant surprise, do come in. Janeen, why don't you take our guest into the living room. Tell Jim he needs to take our other guests back to their room, I'll get Leann."

Leann was currently taking a hot bath. She doesn't like hearing the sex on the lower floor and since those two had become part of the household that's all they've been doing. It seems that they are actually both in serious relationships with others, but had secretly had fantasies of each other all along. Now they get to live those fantasies and with Jim and Lance's help have new ones as well.

They also both have incredible amounts of stamina. They've managed to sustain both demons every day for the last couple of weeks.

"Leann? Marina finally demanded to come and see for herself about us. She's waiting below and although I told Jim to take our other guests out of the living room, knowing him he's letting her have a show first." Lance isn't sure how Leann will take that so he keeps his voice neutral.

"Good. Let her get a show." Leann has to take a breath to calm her anger. The baby makes it harder, but she's been teaching him as well. He's not quite as fast a learner as she is, but he is a fast learner. He subsides and lets his mother take over. Leann smiles, he's learning. The last lesson had been rather harsh.

Lance comes up to her and kisses her neck, "If we really want to make her wait, there are some fun activities we can do here."

Leann and Lance have been careful, but desires are hard to control especially sexual ones for a sex demon. Leann pulls him down for a kiss, but as things start getting heated she lets him go. "Perhaps next time Lance. I like the idea you gave, but now isn't the time." Indeed she very much likes the idea and maybe tonight after the witch bitch leaves they can put it into practice.

"Witch bitch?" Lance chuckles. "What do you have planned for her Leann? I know you wanted her here for a reason."

"Oh, I want her here for a reason. How old is she?" Leann asks getting out. The cold air of the room making her skin pebble. Lance is fascinated and answers distractedly.

"Six, possibly seven hundred years I guess. I'm not sure. I haven't had to deal with the council much and she's from a different community." While Lance is talking Leann is drying off and getting dressed. The disappointment in his tone as she dresses amuses Leann.

"Later Demon Boy. Right now we have an annoying guest to deal with." Leann no sooner gets that out then Lance scoops her up and kisses her.

"Let her wait." Lance demands as he deepens the kiss.

Leann allows herself to drown in the emotion he gives her for a few minutes. Then the feel of her clothes coming off brings her back to reality. "Enough Demon Boy. We can indulge ourselves later. I promise. I very much like the ideas you gave me earlier and want to try them out."

This only slightly mollifies Lance but he lets her down and she quickly redresses. She hides her laughter at his discomfort. It's obvious he's frustrated and wants more.

"Hello, I'm sorry the names of the court weren't given to me. Although I do recognize you as being the witch representative." Leann says as she enters the room. She has hidden all traces of emotion from her face. She wears the face that Jared hated her to have. He preferred her face terrified of him. She wonders what happened to him and hopes he's dead.

"Hello, Leann. That is correct I am on the council and my name is Marina." Marina says standing when Lance and Leann enter the room.

"Have you been offered any refreshments? I'm sure that you've traveled a long distance to see me." Leann says all solicitous.

"No, but I'll take whatever you have, even if it's just water." Marina doesn't expect to have much selection since this is a demon's house.

"Janeen you sent out a list with Lance last time, what did you have him get?"

"There's instant coffee, a range of herbal teas, some other teas, cocoa probably some soda and there might even be some alcoholic beverages around somewhere." Janeen replies sourly, she doesn't want to share her alcohol.

"Oh, my. Well if it's not to much trouble I'll have a cup of lemon tea?" Marina is still blinking her eyes at the selection offered to her. This she hadn't expected at all. Lance does not have a track record of making humans comfortable.

Leann knows just what the witch is thinking from her body language and she is more than a little amused by it. "Lance, would you be a love and set up the tea tray for us. I'll have a cup of peppermint tea. Janeen?" Janeen shakes her head no, she doesn't know what Leann has up her sleeves but she's getting very uncomfortable now. "Okay and there are some cookies too I believe. Would you set those on the tray when you bring it out?" Leann smiles and gives him a wink.

Lance holds in his sigh, he doesn't exactly enjoy the role Leann assigned him, but if it makes Marina leave faster he's all for it. He grabs a smirking Jim and hauls him from the room as well.

Leann waits until they are out of earshot, "Now that the boys are gone," her pleasant look is replaced by one of disapproval, "why don't you tell me the real reason you are here."

Marina jumps at the sudden change in Leann. She had thought that Leann would be easy to control even though she seemed to be the one in charge here. She had never understood how strong Lance is. If she had she'd never have made that assumption.

"Just to check up on you Leann. A witch of your caliber outside of a community would attract all kinds of dangers." Marina decides to keep on with her true reason disguised.

Leann just smirks. "Really? Or were you worried that I would want more power? Really Marina, you are so transparent." Marina's face pales at Leann's words.

"After taking out the demons on the lowest level of hell do you really think that there is anything here that Lance and I can't take on and destroy. You were here when the demons attacked. Hell I saved your a-"

"Leann." Lance says, disapproval radiating from him. He really doesn't approve of bad language and since this is still his house she tries to follow his rules.

"Sorry Lance, slip of the tongue. Now, Marina you had your chance to tell me without them around and you chose not to. Now tell me the real reason you are here." Leann whips her words at her even as she hands her the tea and offers the milk and sugar to put in it.

Marina becomes terrified of her in that moment. Leann smiles, "You are beginning to understand I see. Very good. Take your tea and any cookies you'd like then tell us why you are here." Her voice has become a command and Marina is helpless against it, she does as she is instructed.
