June hid on the floor of the limo as they pulled back up into the driveway. Fredrick helped her up and led her into the house, making sure first with Cora that Serena was not back yet.

Fredrick bid her goodnight as she started up the stairs, making sure to stop and listen as he vanished into the Ceremony Room where he slept although she did not know where. The Old Ones were very secretive about where they really slept, even in Serena's room June was unsure if the vampire actually slept in the grand bed. As the coast seemed clear June descended down the stairs and headed towards the back of the house. She still felt dizzy and light as she walked to the garden doors.

She looked at the cameras as they flashed red and she walked out the door into the fresh night air. She was having trouble keeping her balance and by the time she reached the door she had tripped two times.

She knocked on the door as quietly as she could and felt the ground spin beneath her feet. Nico opened the door and took one look at her and sniffed at her loudly.

 "Oh god, your drunk" he said and quickly scooped her up in his arms and shut the door. June didn't fight him, in fact she kinda liked being this close to him. His body was warm, and it held her body firmly, her small feet dangling over as she faintly smiled to herself. His scent drifted over her, his black cotton T-shirt smooth against her cold skin from the night air as she watched them ascend up into his room above the garage. 

He laid her down on the sofa and went for some water. "Here drink this or my mother's going to know what he gave you" he said handing her the glass. June took it and sipped greedily, wanting the taste of scotch out of her mouth.

"So what did you do?" he asked crossing his arms in front of her.

"We went to an opera and then he took me to a pool room with other vampires and gave me scotch" she said sluggishly. She tried to compose herself as she took long breaths to steady her head. 

"Did he try and do anything to you?" he asked with a harsh tone.

"Yes" June said wanting to be honest.

"And did you let him?" Nico said now getting visibly jealous which made June feel a bit angry. She wasn't his and she wasn't Fredrick's. So why the hell did he care?

"Does it matter?" June said setting the glass down "You are just going to hand me over to the Eyes anyway."

"What does that mean?" Nico said coming towards her and taking her face in his hands. June tried to look away but she couldn't help but meet his eyes that seemed to pierce through her armor she was so desperately trying to hide behind.

"You are an Angel; you can't help humans you are bent on harvesting us!" June said getting loud and standing up "You want us all to die! And my brother is going to die, and Mora is going to die, and I am going to die right along with them!" she started getting hysterical, big drops of tears streaming down her face as she failed at holding back her emotions now. She had been quiet, and been through too much tonight and for the past three years. She needed to scream, she needed to cry, she needed something, anything to fill her ever growing void.

Nico then did something very unexpected.

He picked June up by her shoulders and kissed her hard, making June's legs wobble and buckle beneath her as he pressed himself to her. At first she was stunned, but as his lips began inviting her in she melted against him. Slowly she wrapped her arms around his neck, his hands going for her hips as his fingers dug in against the material of her dress. She gasped, wanting more as she pulled his head in closer, needing to feel more of him, needing to taste him. He pushed her down against the couch, his lips never leaving hers as he quickly made work of her dress and pulled it down along her body. June frantically pulled his black shirt off over his head, her mind focused on one thing and one thing only. This wasn't a gentle tumble in the sheets after grueling finals, or some quick knee knocking in the back of some guys car. This was unaltered desperation and consummation of two bodies in hungry need. Desire rocked June's head back as she felt Nico's mouth against her breasts, her eyes closing as she moaned out loud. Nico gently bit her lip as he whispered against her lips "Don't want to wake the neighbors" he said kissing her again as his tongue delve deep in her mouth.
