Martin's Secret
Morgan grabbed Sterling’s arm and pulled him into his bedroom. Remaining silent, she saw him pace back and forth.
"OKAY! I overreacted BUT, IN MY DEFENSE,, you don’t see KAI PIERCE next to the statue of David and not think you’re about to go down in flames.”
She placed her hands on her hips. "And by statue of David, I’m assuming you're talking about Jordan?”
He looked at her in confusion. "YES.THE.FUCK.I.AM! Don’t be mad at me Little Red. I be tripping sometimes but it’s only because I love you so much.”
Morgan laughed. "Strip”
"Wha-“
"You heard me.”
Taking off his clothes, Sterling tilted his head. "Why am I naked?”
"Because I’m tired of this…you constantly comparing yourself to your brother, and I need a distraction from killing you, so I’m going to look at the large pipe in front of me while we talk.”
His face reddened. "Little Red…”
"Don’t you Little Red me. Why do you constantly compare yourself to Jordan? He literally tells you all the time that you LOOK alike and I tell you I love you BOTH the same.”
He rubbed the back of his neck. "I-I guess I’m just used to other people doing it.”
"Has Jordan or I or any of our friends and family?” He shook his head no. "Then knock it the fuck off. I hate it when you do it. I LOVE JORDAN, I LOVE YOU no buts, a period as in final. Just me loving both of my husbands. AND HARPER E adores her DADS…what more will it take to convince you that we are completely smitten with you?”
Sterling always the one for jokes, didn’t know how to respond. "Rhea sometimes-“
"I told you about that too. I’m not Rhea.” She placed her hand on his chest. "I adore you for being you. I don’t want you to change. You make me laugh, you make me remember to inhale and not take life so seriously. I.LOVE.YOU.FOR BEING YOU. AND I REALLY NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT.” She caressed his face. "Give me your calendar” Walking to his desk, Sterling gave it to her. She scanned it over. "Okay, you’re free on the 16th. So I’m going to tell Jordan he’s in charge of Harper. And we’re going to go out and do something that MORGAN and STERLING like to do, and then-“ She pulled off her clothes. "We’re going to fuck like two porn stars who are giving the new staff a free show.”
Sterling nodded his head. "I would really like that.”
“Good because after the 16th, I don’t want to hear any more about it. You’re going to learn that I am honestly crazy about you.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and heard a small growl.
"I-I don’t know what to say.” Sterling said.
"You don’t have to say anything. You’re my husband, the father of our child and I want you to know that I see you for being you.”
He looked at her, and he smiled. "How did I get so lucky?”
Morgan puckered her lips. "The large pipe helped.” He laughed understanding what his Little Red truly meant. "Dammit, that kinda backfired on me, because now I’m horny," shes said, pouting.
Sterling raised his brows. "Oh really?”
Morgan nodded. " Yep..Imma need you to knock the hell out of my boots.”
Laughing, Sterling picked up his wife. "Not a problem. But one more question.” He kissed her passionately. "Do I have to play nice or can I have a little fun?”
"Have a lot of fun.” She chuckled as he carried her to the bed.
Sometime later
"Okay so then Sterling called us and was like they cheating-“ Elijah sat on the couch relaying the story to Sabine. "MIND YOU-“
"Oh, this where everything comes together!” she said.
Elijah nodded his head. "Morgan had already said Rachel hired him, so by that point, he knew it wasn’t true. So when I and DRFV rolled in-“
Sabine raised her brow. "Who is DRFV?”
Demetri raised his hand. "Me…Demetri Ric Fair Vamp.” She laughed and he coughed. "It’s a name that kind of stuck.”
Waving her hand, she egged Elijah on. "Continue, continue.”
"Right, and when I saw Jordan's face and knew that he was pissed. I was like oh okay it’s on and then you know, things kinda got out of hand. Didn’t know he was their brother though.”
Alexus entered the room and looked him up and down. "Damn E Sr. You putting our business on front street?”
Demetri shook his head. "Most certainly not Little One! No one has placed your affairs on the outside concrete.”
Sterling glared at Demetri. "You know, sometimes I’m like Wow…my Primus Pumpkin Pie has figured things out. But then you say something and I’m reminded that I made retro Jesus my best friend.”
Alexus chuckled at Demetri's fume and left to find Rachel and Morgan.
Demetri tapped Sabine. "Why don’t you go talk to them?”
She shook her head feverishly. "I-I wouldn’t know what to say. They’re so-“
"Nice” Jordan finished her statement. 'I promise you, they’re nice. Kai won’t be up for some time and they could use the distraction.”
"I don’t-“
"ALEXUS, RACHEL, AND MORGAN…SABINE WANTS TO BE FRIENDS!”
She looked at Sterling in horror, as the sisters entered the room. "I didn’t say that," she said.
"So you don’t want to be friends?” Rachel replied.
She sighed. "No I do…I’m just…you all are so…what I’m trying to say…”
Alexus place her hand on her shoulder. "How about we start off with something simple, like your curse.”
Sabine scrunched her nose. "That’s actually probably more complicated than becoming friends.” Retrieving her bag, she pulled out an item.
"OH HELL NO! MORGAN GET THE FLAME THROWER!” Sterling shouted as he jumped on the couch. He looked at the decrepit but beating heart in the glass. "HEADSHOT! I’M GOING TO BURN THIS UNDEAD BITCH TO-“
Jordan slapped him on the back of his head, "STOP!”
Sterling looked around at everyone. "SHE COULD HAVE MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT! WHO THE FUCK PULLS OUT A DUSTY ASS HEART IN A GLASS?!”
Sabine sighed. "I know…it’s kinda weird.”
"Why does it look like that?”
"Because it’s cursed and if I place it inside me….I’ll die...” She looked at her heart. "The person who took over Rising Sun is my ex-boyfriend..Wilmot and he managed to turn them all against me.”
Demetri looked at her. "Why would they turn against you?”
She exhaled, "Because of the type of magic I possess. I have chaos magic and…it grows with emotion. My coven is about order and I don’t fit in with that because of what I am.”
Rachel folded her arms to her chest. "Thats bullshit! Why would he curse you?”
"I told him that I didn’t want to be with him anymore. Once I said that he…he placed a curse and I don’t understand the words, but I was hoping that-“ She looked to Alexus. "Maybe you would.”
Alexus nodded. "I’ll try my best.” She looked to Demetri. "We need to give her safety while I work on this. Can we have an apartment or-“
He nodded. "I’ll get it done right away.”
"Thank you,”
Morgan spoke. "And of course you know you have Moon Stone and Dark Moon support.”
Sabine's face flushed at the kindness of the sister. "I-um about Kai…”
Rachel raised her hand. "One thing at a time.” Sabine knew what she truly meant and nodded in understanding. Entering the room, Diane folded her arms to her chest.
"He’s awake and he’s asking for all of you.”
