Roadhouse
Present Day-Two Years Later
"Blue eyes…are you ready? They’ll be here so-“Alexus's words stopped as she saw Demetri batty figure on the bed in a silk red robe.
He smirked at her. "Hello, Little One.” He flicked his little robe. "It’s been some time since we’ve had a moment alone.” His little batty leg slid up the other. "And I thought maybe- you’d be interested in seeing what a lusty Primus can do.”
"A lusty Primus huh?”
He nodded. "And if this isn’t doing it for you-“ He rolled to the other side, and lifted the robe off his little batty leg. His eyebrow raised, he looked at her smugly. "How about now? Have I unlocked pandora’s box?” Alexus giggled, and he laughed as well. "I’m so glad that made you laugh. I know tomorrow is a rough day.”
He shifted and she hugged him tightly. "Thank you. I really needed that laugh.” She pointed to the little robe on the bed. "Where the hell did you get that anyway?”
He rubbed the back of his neck. "I’m no longer banned from the supernatural store. I went without Sterling and actually had a good time.”
She smirked. "You love him so much.”
"I do, but dammit if he doesn’t get on my last nerves.”
Alexus wrapped her hands around her neck. "More than non-sorcerer Scott?”
Demetri seethed. "Nobody can piss me off more than him. You know, I almost maimed him the other day? Stacy told him I love fruit, so he sent me an edible arrangement the wonderful son of a bitch. Then it had the nerve to have freshly picked fruit. Apparently, he specially requested that just for me. With the note saying To my friend and Primus-sir It was so damn thoughtful I almost strangled him in happiness when I got it.”
Alexus laughed, shaking her head. "Stacy and Scott are married Blue Eyes, please be nice to him.”
He tried his best to smile, but it turned into a snarl. "He vexes me and yet I find myself positively thrilled about our upcoming trip to the Ikea warehouse.”
Laughing, Alexus shifted in her bat and pointed her batty toes. "Maybe I can take your mind off of it?” She flew and nuzzled his face. “"Is this doing it for you?” Demetri's eyes gleamed in amusement as she flew backward and placed her wings on her hips. "How about now Mr. Primus? Have I unlocked Pandora’s box?”
Stuffing a piece of chicken in his mouth, Sterling continued to talk. "Yeah so then I told her that you can’t file a lawsuit because you used the toy upside down.” He scoffed. "Not even sure how one would even be able to use it that way, but she’s lucky it didn’t blow her clean across the room.”
Rachel laughed. "So what did she say?”
"I told her to take it back home, use it the RIGHT way, and see if she still wanted to sue. Bright and early today, she’s outside my office sweating with her hair frazzled and when I asked her how her night was she said never mind the lawsuit and left completely flustered.”
Laughter filled the room, and Sterling zeroed in on Demetri. Seeing the wolf grin at him, the vampire immediately fumed.
"What Sterling? I know you’re about to piss me off.”
Sterling shrugged. "You don’t even know what I’m about to say.”
Demetri clenched his teeth. "What.is.it?”
Waving his hands around, Sterling pointed to the castle. "Iiiiiiiii’m just wondering…how can you afford all of this? You ain’t got a job at least one I’ve ever seen you go to.”
Demetri glared at him. "I’m literally a billionaire like you Sterling…I have a job.”
Eating a roll, Sterling chuckled. "Well, shit can you tell the class what it is? Jordan and Elijah managed to somehow make a fortune off of being peeping toms, while my awesome self make things that send the ladies to the moon.” His face reddened as he saw Morgan glare at him. He cleared his throat. "I-I was just playing.”
Demetri sneered. "One day you’re going to learn to shut the hell up.”
"And one day you’re going to learn to get a damn job.”
"I HAVE A JOB!”
"Ohhh testy, testy, seriously what do you do? And don’t say being a Primus because I have never gotten a check for being an Alpha.” He turned to Jordan and arched his brow. "Wait…do we? Because if so, somebody been playing with my money and it’s three things I don’t play with: my money, keeping all this sexy for Little Red and loving on my Harper E."
"Don’t talk to me, Sterling.” Jordan huffed and Sterling's lips parted.
"Oh, so you still mad huh? I said I was sorry!”
Jordan glared at him. "For which part?! LOSING my suits or LOSING my car?! What the hell were you even doing with my stuff ?!”
Sterling leaned on his brother’s shoulder. "Thinking of you.”
"GET OFF OF ME!” Jordan seethed pushing him and Sterling rolled his eyes.
"Fine pull out your abacus Old Man River, and total up how much I owe you.” He tilted his head. "And let me know if you want that in dollar bills or shekels.”
Jordan wrapped his hands around Sterling's throat. "YOU MOUTHY LITTLE SHIT!”
"YOU SAID YOU WOULDN’T ABUSE ME ANYMORE AT FAMILY EVENTS!” Releasing Sterling, Jordan glared at him before turning back to his food, ignoring the fume on his brother’s face. "Got some fucking nerve. Gonna choke me FOR LOVING YOU! I BET IF I WAS ELIJAH YOU WOULDN’T TELL ME TO GET OFF!”
Elijah looked at him with wide eyes. "WHY AM I INVOLVED IN THIS?!”
He let out a growl. "YOU KNOW WHY!” Morgan looked at Rachel and Alexus who both wore the same small smile she did, knowing that the upcoming petty argument would leave them laughing until they couldn’t breathe. Standing up at the table, Sterling pointed at Elijah. "You two went on a guys trip without me!”
Jordan sighed. "It was a work conference Sterling. You already know that. Plus, you and Demetri go on trips all the time and I don’t care.”
Sterling cut his eyes so hard, he could hardly see. "The fuck you mean you don’t care? You saying it doesn’t bother you that I’m spending time with someone who doesn’t even got a job? Wow…you know what I don’t care about you hanging out with someone whose ass is flatter than Kansas. HOW DOES IT FEEL?!”
Eyes reddened Demetri stood and hissed. "I HAVE A FUCKING JOB!”
"THIS ISN’T ABOUT YOU SCRUB! I’m having an A and B conversation with my brother. So why don’t you and Mr. Flattocks mind your business!” He turned to Alexus. "Lexy don’t give his 4000-year-old JOBLESS ass no more of the goods, you know what they say. JOBLESS boys don’t deserve no pu-“
Demetri threw a piece of chicken, it slapping Sterling hard in the face. "YOU MOUTHY LITTLE SHIT!”
"DON’T HIT ME WITH NO FUCKING POULTRY!”
Exhaling sharply, Demetri turned to Jordan. "You wish to know what REALLY happened to your items? Sterling grew jealous and put it in your car and BLEW IT UP! Said he was going to Waiting to Exhale your cheating ass.”
Sterling's eyes grew large and he seethed. "YOU MOTHERFUCKER!” he growled, immediately backing up from the table.
"YOU DID WHAT?!” Jordan shouted as he stood and walked towards him; his eyes glowing brightly.
Sterling looked to Morgan. "Little Red…tell him not to kill me!”
She shook her head. "You actually deserve this one Sterling.”
Looking back at his brother, Sterling stomped his foot and whined. "DON’T STRANGLE ME FOR LOVING YOU AS AGGRESSIVELY AS I DO!”
"I’m not going to strangle you.”
"Oh thank-FUCKING HELL!” Sterling screamed as Jordan spun and kicked him hard into the wall. Sliding down it, he looked at him wildly. "WHAT THE FUCK YOU NINJA ASSASSIN?!” He stood and dusted himself off and Jordan adjusted his suit.
"I want all my items replaced by tomorrow.”
"OH MY GOD!” Rachel screamed no longer able to hold in her laughter.
"Jordan Wolf-Norris!” Alexus shouted and the three ladies laughed harder.
Demetri laughed hard, unable to stop. "Sterling…now whose body hit the wall like-umph?” He cackled. "Whew-Little One please assist me to bed, this started as a dinner and ended up a scene from Roadhouse.”
