Chapter Fourteen
“How are you doing in there?” Noah’s voice shot through the door, causing Azurdee to jump, losing her footing. In order to prevent herself from falling, she held onto the shelf, the haircare products once again crashing to the shower floor, causing a ruckus.
Before Noah could waltz inside, she called out. “I’m fine! Don’t come in here!”
“Aww. Are you sure?” He almost whined.
“Noah.” Kai’s voice sounded irritated. “I told you to leave her alone.”
“But she sounds like she needs help.” Noah protested.
“Leave her be.”
There was a moment of silence, followed by retreating footsteps.
Azurdee sighed. So much for experimenting.
Figuring it would be best if she just finished up as soon as possible, she washed her hair one more time, massaging her scalp, letting out a soft sigh of pleasure.
Once done, she stepped out, wrapping a towel around her large bosom. Luckily, the towels were extra-large, providing her with more than adequate coverage.
She dried her hair as best she could before she looked around, realizing she had nothing to wear.
Right on cue, there was another knock on the door. “Azurdee, it’s me, Kai. I have your clothes. Do you mind if I come in?”
“S-Sure.” Azurdee blushed softly.
Kai walked in, her clothes neatly folded in a pile. “I found them in your backpack. I hope they didn’t shrink.”
“Thank you.”
“Is there anything else you need?”
Even though Kai was in the room with a woman he found incredibly attractive, he remained the perfect gentleman. He knew all he had to do was rip the towel from her body, push her against the wall, and she would be his for the taking, but he restrained himself. Right now, all he wanted, was to make her feel comfortable.
“I… I think I’m okay. Thanks again.”
“Not a problem.” He left the room, closing the door behind him.
Quickly, Azurdee started to get dressed. She blushed a little when she realized that the brothers had picked out her sexiest pair of panties for her to wear as well as a deep V-neck T-shirt and her tightest pair of jeans. She wondered for a moment whether they had done it by accident or if they had meticulously gone through her clothes, looking for her sexiest outfit. In a way, the thought excited her. She liked the idea of turning them on.
With a grin, she wiggled into her jeans. They accentuated her voluptuous ass and thick thighs to perfection. She ran her hands over the soft material before finally leaving the bathroom with a newfound confidence.
The moment she stepped out, she was instantly bombarded by the smell of something cooking. Following her nose, she navigated through the home until she arrived at a spacious kitchen. There, both men were hard at work, preparing a meal together. Noah even had an apron wrapped around his waist, flipping something in a frying pan.
“Look who decided to join us.”
“What are you making?” Azurdee asked, intrigued by the strange items they were using.
“Pancakes and eggs.”
“What’s that?”
Noah turned, raising an eyebrow in her direction. “Don’t tell me nobles don’t eat eggs.”
“I don’t think so… I’ve never seen them in our kitchen before.”
“Well, they come from chickens. We have a coop in the back. You’re free to look at them as soon as it stops raining. We let them graze on our land and in return, they lay eggs that we can eat.” Kai explained with a patient tone.
“Wait, you two aren’t hunters?” Azurdee asked, slightly surprised.
“Oh, we are,” Noah smirked, placing a stack of flapjacks on a plate. “But when it’s raining, we prefer to stay in. No one likes wet meat.”
Before Azurdee could ask any more questions, they had turned off the stove, moving to a large kitchen table. Kai set the table for three while Noah divided the food evenly among them, giving Azurdee the biggest share.
“Do you like syrup?” He asked politely.
“Syrup?”
“It’s collected from the trees. It’s sweet. Here, try it.”
She nodded, sitting down and watching as Kai drizzled the sticky substance on top of her food. Never in her life had she seen such strange dishes. Nobles and lesser vampires were truly worlds apart and yet, these two men were making her feel welcomed in their home.
The two of them watched her expectantly as she took her first bite. Her eyes widened at the sweet, delicious taste. “Wow…”
“Do you like it?”
“It’s spectacular!”
Azurdee went in for another bite and then another, and another.
“Slow down, you’re going to choke,” Noah warned, a chuckle emerging from his lips as he cut into his pancakes with surprising etiquette.
“I’m sorry… it’s just we don’t have anything like this back home.”
“All the more reason for you to stay with us,” Noah said after swallowing his bite.
Azurdee blushed softly, considering his words at length. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad after all. They were kind, gracious, and for the most part, well-mannered. Sure, they had their dark side, but that only made them more desirable in a way. Azurdee found herself strangely attracted to their dark, mysterious ways.
“I’ll think about it…”
“You’re already here, I don’t know why you would leave.” Noah leaned in close, his lips dancing with mischief. “Besides, we both know you like us.”
