Lucius POV-
That dinner irritated me. Kitten's slutty friend kept hitting on me. She obviously reads the magazines, and knows that I don't cheat.
The gym always calms me down. It makes me feel like I'm in control. That stupid girl got in the way of me toying with kitten.
She kept slapping my hand away. I know she'll be on her knees soon enough, but I just needed to ensure that she didn't go do something with that Theo guy.
He angers me. More than slutty girl. He acts all innocent, but then looks at her that way. I know that look. He's in love with her and is just mustering up the courage to tell her.
I hear someone walk down the stairs. Kitten? Oh no. Slutty girl. Fuck, this bitch is really desperate.
"Now that their gone..." she toys.
"I'm not interested." I just keep lifting weights. Maybe she'll take a hint for once.
"Come on daddy...Your thing with Amora is fake so it's not cheating. I can make you feel good." She is getting on my last nerve.
"Listen, you are more desperate than the whores I used to do. Now get the fuck out of my face." She looks like she's about to cry. Her dark eyes are pooling with tears. Good. She's bothered me enough.
I see her long black hair whip around and she scurries up the stairs. Wait, that means Theo and kitten were alone! Shit, if he is doing something with her I swear to God I'll punish her until she's crying.

Skylar POV-We crack up on my bed. Theo has been making me laugh for the past ten minutes. He keeps mocking Raina and Lucius. It's really funny.
"Oh pleaseee Lucy boyyyy" he pretends to flirt. I giggle. Theo has always been really funny. Ever since we met he never stops joking around. Unless something serious happens to me or Raina. Then he goes into big brother mode. He's such a good friend.
"Stop it, stop it! What if Raina hears us! Or Lucius! He'll give you that intense smolder!" I shriek. We both look at each other and burst out laughing.
"Something funny?" A familiar voice hums. Damnit.
"What do you want?" I question. Lucius is the equivalent of my dads old condom. Actually, He's worse than my old mans condom.
"I wanted to join the fun." He states. Why does he have no emotions other than anger. He always looks angry. Theo looks petrified.
"Kitten, we both know it isn't a party until I arrive." Who is he trying to be? Kesha?
"Uh.. we were just.." Theo mutters. why can't he talk? Theo needs to learn how to talk.
"Why are you so intent on joining us? You aren't my friend." I cannot believe he just wants to join us. He has an agenda. I don't think he likes me being up here with Theo.
"Your right I'm not. But I do want to get to know Theo! Theo, why don't you and I have a drink." He offers. Theo is underage. He's twenty. Of course Lucius isn't, but I don't think Theo drinks.
"Theo is underage." I say. Lucius just laughs a sadistic laugh.
"Come on boy, it won't hurt you." Theo just nods and goes with Lucius, leaving me alone.
I cannot not know what Lucius is going to say to him. Will he kill him? I almost laugh at myself. Sure Lucius is scary, but he hasn't killed anyone.
I need to spy on them. We have one bar in the palace, and sure enough, I see them there. I could hide behind the pocket door.
Soon, I pick up on their conversation.
"So Theo, what do you do for a living?" Lucius states.
"I work at my fathers tech company." Theo replies. He still seems like he's gonna shit his pants.
"Ah I see. Anyway, how did you meet my Amora?" I almost gag at the word 'my' I'm not his. We've known each other formally for less than a week.
"Erm, summer camp, in 6th grade. Paris retreat." Theo is extremely uncomfortable.
"Of course. Summer camp! I'm sure you guys got into lots of trouble!" Lucius says. He sounds oddly happy.
"Well, yes I suppose. Though I was always the rational thinker." Theo says. He seems a little more comfortable.
"So, were you a thing? A little couple?" Lucius! Why does he even care?
"No." Is all Theo says.
"I know your in love with her Theo." Lucius has just exploded my head. Theo is not in love with me. He's a friend, nothing more.
"Wha- why? How- how... can you tell?" His response shocks me even more. He's in love with me? I don't feel that way about him. Shit.
"I'm going to tell you right now. Don't make any move on her. If you do, you've got me to deal with. Got it boy?" I let our a little gasp. Then I hear footsteps. Oh fuck. I try to run away but I feel hands on my waist.
"Going somewhere, Amora?"
I'm so screwed.
