Lucrezia was pissed. I watched as she enter the bathroom, shame that her naked glory is covered by my robe. I felt a pang of guilt because I went too far, but it was worth it to see her admit that she was jealous. After all these years, she left me in injustice. She ran. And I still choose to take her back. My twin. But she was selfish, just like I was. I put love marks on her neck, plural. I knew it wasn't her choice to be fücked by the Lords. She could and will die if she doesn't comply. But it still isn't my favourite thing to accept, even now, eons after we opened the Pandora box. I know that she has feelings for them, too. For Reyes, for Sabin, for Strider, for Gideon, even for Cameo. I always share what's mine with them, with everyone. But I don't want to share her. She's my soul. Though the thought of her and Cameo in a sexual position stirred my junior member, but making me want to kill myself at the same time.

I didn't wait for her to finish her bath, but I head out. I telepathed her that I'm heading to the kitchen. I got no reply. But I can feel Promiscuity and Charm had connected last night. Instead Charm answered in Ceza's stead, confirming they knew. I scratch my head unconsciously. Damn, it's going to be hard to make her forgive me.

When I got to the kitchen area, everyone was already there. Ashlyn was clearly crying for a long time, sitting on the blood red couch. Maddox towering over her, a grim expression on his face. Danika was sitting at the stool, face hidden in her hands. Reyes stood behind her, hands encircling her waist fondly. Danika let out a small sob that tells me she is crying, too. I imagine this is because of Lucrezia. Besides Ash and Dani, the other partners of my brothers were not crying. Anya, obviously doesn't cry. Neither does Haidee, and Scarlet, or Olivia. But Gwen and Sabin was nowhere in sight. Neither is Strider and Kaia. I muttered a curse. I knew the harpies weren't gonna do this easily. Gideon, Amun and Aeron are gathered in a corner, silent. But then another problem popped to mind.

I haven't told Sienna yet. She's out of town for a few days on Lucien's order, dealing with the Hunters. I was with her until a few days ago, when Lucien and Aeron told me that they found Ceza. I left her a simple note to her and left her in the capable hands of Anya, Aeron and Olivia. Only to found they were all back and gathered when Ceza and me arrived at the fortress, but no Sienna. I have yet to ask, because the information of Ceza, and Ceza herself, was overwhelming. I didn't know the possibility of me touching her again even existed, let alone having her here in Budapest. I'm dreading the moment I have to face Sienna. I have a gut feeling she would understand Ceza, but a part of her will never forgive me for having made love to Ceza before I had the time to tell her.

Then Lucrezia appeared from the open doorframe. She walked, clearly in shame and awkwardness.

"Ceza," I called out to her. Her looks shot me daggers, and I almost stagger backwards.

She cleared het throat, and everyone's attention snapped at her. A faint blush creeped up her fair cheeks, but she stood fiercely.

"If I may talk to all of you," she announced. No one said a word. Reyes let go of his grip on Danika and took her hand. Lucrezia caught that.

"I'm sorry, um.. I meant all the Lords," she corrected. Not surprisingly, Anya growled a low growl.

"How dare you," Danika whispered. Lucrezia paled. I went over to her and stood beside her. It wasn't apparent, but now that I'm close I can see Ceza shivering. I put my hand on the low of her back, and her weight instantly pushed against my hand, supporting her.

"Dani," Reyes said to her softly. Danika wouldn't look at him.

"And you," Ashlyn's voice rang out, accusing me.

"Yes, me ?" I answered calmly.

"Tell Sienna," was all she could muster before turning to Maddox and went silent.

But believe it or not, all the men in that room went to follow Ceza when she walked out. She stopped in the hallway. I sensed her demon, and knew that she wanted to be in the listening range of the ladies without directly talking to them. The emotions she felt was shameful. Sadness. I was surprised to sense... jealousy ? Towards the spouses. I can understand. Up until 6 years ago Lucrezia and Cameo was the only constant women in our lives. Not two minutes later, Torin joined us. I'm not surprised. Those surveillance cameras of his see and hear everything.

"Um, Promiscuity and Charm are connected," she said without preamble. No one said a word.

"Guys, please," she pleaded.

"What, Ceza ? What can we do ?" Aeron asked, sarcasm in his voice.

"I'm sorry. I'm so, so, so, so sorry. If I could have it any other way, I would," she said.

"But you can't," Torin said gently. He was always so understanding of her. Then he walked towards her, and hugged her. I wince, almost shouting at him. I saw all the Lords tense up. We're not used to seeing Torin touch someone. It's a good thing Ceza's immune to our powers, or rather immune to our curses. She was Torin's only direct contact for hundreds of years.

"Yes, I can't," she got her strength back. Then Torin stood on her other side, Ceza standing in the middle between me and Torin.

"Believe me, I don't want this either,.." she started saying, but trailed off, loss at words.

"So let's just get on with it,then," out of all people, Reyes shocked me by snapping up.

"Let's just paper draw whose turn it is to fuck you next," he said. Lucrezia gasped loudly at his harsh words. Reyes muttered a soft curse upon hearing her gasp. I knew he regretted it.

"Glad to know that's what you all think," she said with difficulty, her voice quivering.

"How about none of you 'fuck' me next, and we'll see how it goes from there, we good ?" She said to everyone. The silence that flowed while she was waiting for answers were deafening.

"Now you decide to keep silent, Reyes," Ceza said, her voice laced with deep hurt. She inhaled painfully, and then stormed off.
