Speaking of impressive homes... The three-story mansion - not counting the attic and basement - had at least 22 rooms and a dozen of those had their own full bathrooms with bathtubs or hot tubs, while the rest just had the basic shower and toilet. However, those still had the johns that flushed automatically, faucets that flowed on their own when your hands were underneath them and high-end hot showers with rainfall shower heads. Yes, those were actually just the bathrooms… The whole house was mostly automated, run by a central computerized system that could be activated by voice commands, and a security system that was the best money could buy. And, as expected, the owner truly had a lot of money to buy everything and anything he wanted… Well, almost anything. Because right now, as he was lounging beside his humongous rooftop infinity pool with black tiles and strong jets of water that doubled as fountains at the flip of a switch, he was intently thinking of a special “someone”
"This is just perfect! I’m glad you’re here, Eron, because Di will let me go into the garage now and that’s where Mason kept all of his machines and tools and gizmos. We should go there later… Whoa, your back muscles are really hard! You working out, because there’s gym equipment in the garage too, and...” "And this is where the library is, because Diwa loves books. We didn’t use to read when our parents were still alive, but now, she’s gotten us into it and we’re hooked so… Wow! These are pretty big biceps! What do you do for a living?” "We have a playroom, too. We don’t keep dolls because they are scawy but we have stuffed animals. I have a horsey and a big wolfie and lots of small cat plushies. I want to introduce you to them and… Oh geeeezzz, what big hands you haaaaave!!!” "Guys! Guys! GUYS!” Di finally shouted with a small laugh. “Stop mishandling my future pa... renter! He won’t be able to pay for his room if he ends up in the hospital!” "I don’t break that easily, Miss Diwa
"I can't believe how amazing she is, even when it's just giving a simple tour of her own house." Eron couldn't help but say this to himself as he watched her show him around the second floor. They've gone through the girls' rooms, the boy's room, the playroom, the library and the other three remaining empty rooms, and he fervently wished that the tour was longer so he could just hear her talk while they were alone together. “And this is the last of the vacant rooms on this floor. If you still aren’t sure about it, you can always take the other rooms on the ground floor. They are slightly smaller than any of the rooms here, but they are more easily accessible than up here. There are also other rooms upstairs and, in the attic, but then you’d all be on your lonesome. We hardly go up there, you see, since all of us sleep on this floor and have the library and playroom here as well.” The Charmer had not really been paying attention to the quality of the rooms being shown him within the
The patio doubled as the house's breakfast room. For now, it felt more like a party area due to the laughter, giggles, happy tones and the continuous stories that Diwa and Eron were telling the kids... Of course, the one they insisted on hearing first was the accident that happened at the lumberyard that morning. It was interesting that the two adults were both telling the story in sync with each other, even finishing each other's sentences. They weren't aware, but the young ones were. And that added to their surprise and awe as they listened to their surrogate mom and her new boarder. "He picked me and Jack up, and I immediately checked him if he was hurt," the landlady said, as she poured her and Eron a new batch of tea. "Good thing he only had a small wound on his elbow." "Not even a deep one, too. It was just a scratch, see," the man assured his audience as he showed them a small square of gauze and a bit of bandage on the lower part of his forearm. "Good thing Jack and your ma
The children’s parents had to be transferred to their uncle’s home while they were sick so that they could be taken care of. Well, Diwa was the only one who took care of them since her husband never seemed to go to the sick room out of fear of the fatal illness that was taking so many lives in their village. Also, she didn’t want the children exposing themselves to their parents’ sickness. However, the kids were so intent on helping out their benefactors that they were helping out with cleaning the house and even preparing the meals. Di also felt that this was their way of letting their parents feel they love them still, despite being sick. After all, the three couldn’t exactly hug and snuggle with their mom and dad during this time. Because of this, Diwa also spent a lot of time with the children, trying her best to comfort and encourage them during these dark times. Unknown to her, her husband was now starting to resent the attention she was giving to his brother’s family. He see
It was the longest argument they've ever had as husband and wife, but Diwana knew that she wouldn't just give up the fight. Honestly, to her, her moment of silence was just a break since she needed to do something which was equally important... So right after the fight, Diwana went to check on the kids, wondering now what she could tell them, but determined to find a way to keep them together and with her, despite what her husband said... Whatever her husband said! “Erica,” Di called, walking around, knocking on the door of their rooms, without hearing an answer or noises, not their voices, or the normal sound of movement in a kid’s and teenager’s room. “Macky?” she tried again… A feeling of anxiety started to grow in the back of Diwana’s mind, and a knot started forming in the pit of her stomach. Di started walking faster, checking room after room. She then went to the garden, the backyard, and the kitchen. At the end of her search, she ran through the house, yelling their names
“So, do you want to let the other neighbors know now?” Leena asked Diwa, who was still looking around the house. "I mean, you did say that the house has no electricity and water now because Mason had it cut off to avoid paying for the utilities while his brother and his family were staying with you, right? It's going to be real dark inside and there's only the two of us..." “I think we should try and see for ourselves first. If there are too many people around, they might get scared and run away again. Besides, you did tell Jack to get here as soon as he can, right?” “Okay then, how do we get in?” Leena said decisively as she rolled up her sleeves to get ready. Leena's characteristic strength and willingness to help easily countered those character features that were NOT so common within their neighborhood, AND THAT's why many didn't like her. But Diwana found it refreshing. Her neighbor, who was a mother of twins with enough money to hire a nanny and house helpers, lived in one o
The stranger's smell was masculine. He was sweaty, but not because of him moving around. It seemed more like an… erotic agitation, and Lee could almost swear she could hear the man’s heart banging hard on his chest. She could also smell sex on him, but not female fluids, only masculine, and not all of it fresh. Maybe around a day old, but not older than that either. Yes, they were close to the mystery man; but not that close... Her instincts were also pushing her to action, but not as much as the growing discomfort inside her, that a bit slightly more difficult to control. However, her well-polished abilities that nobody in town knew of; neither did Diwana nor Jack, kept her in calm control. These skills of hers, others would only get to know quite a long while later; when this story was told and retold. “I’ll go ahead through the hall. I believe I can go all the way to the attic and hide there waiting for whoever it is… But, are you sure that person is not Diwana; who for some
“Diwana, I know you’re in there,” Eron soothingly said as he knocked on his new spouse’s bedroom door in the hopes that she would let him in without much fuss or fight. “I just want to talk, honey pie. Would that be OK?”The muscular Charmer waited a moment, but due to his enhanced hearing, he was sure that his troubled wife was already rising from her bed and was about to open her bedroom door. Within half a minute, she had already done so, but it was obvious from her facial expression that she was anything but all right.Eron instantly held her close as his fingers rubbed her long, wavy, ebony tresses before she could say anything.“Why do you look so down, Di? You can tell me, alright? What’s bothering you, pumpkin pie?”“I can’t do it, my love. I feel so weird doing it. It feels as if I’m not even a normal human being,” Diwana sobbed as a warm tear or two fell on her caring man’s shirt. “I’m afraid the kids may see me differently when I use my magical powers… Or even you!”Eron h
Eron speed-walked into the kitchen and was surprised to only find his Twinny with Mr. and Mrs. Merhi looking unsure at each other. In front of them was a large violet bucket of dark green liquid beside the large dining table with all the food items that they planned to feed the Ogre’s men upon their arrival.“Twinny, where is my wife?” the bulked-up former city man asked hesitantly.“She got a little overwhelmed when Tess and I told her all the possible things she could do with her Faye powers,” the dejected Luna stated with a crestfallen sigh. “I think she was overcome knowing everything that she could do, Twinny. But her Tikbalang Father assured us that it is absolutely essential that she learn the majority of her powers because of the upcoming battles that she would need to face.”“I feel that Senyor Armanaz means to pit her against that whore witch Chin Kahlagu when Eleuthera finally goes full force, Eron,” the chubby Police Chief admitted as he lovingly held his wife Tessy to his
“Hello, mom! It’s Emily…”At that point, Jack could hear various muffled but delighted female squeals and male yells in the background of his new fiancé’s phone call’s other line, which was obviously on speaker mode. He could easily tell that Em’s family was truly rejoicing over her return to Mendez.After a few moments of awkwardly answering her parent’s and siblings’ questions about her sudden disappearance from their village, the young light-haired lumberyard owner cleared his throat to make the female abductee aware of his presence along with his willingness to rescue her from telling more about her past traumatic experiences to her very curious family members.“Oh, by the way, I’d like to introduce a longtime friend to everyone there. Everybody, this is Jack. Remember the guy who gifted me the so-called alabaster box as you all called it years before? He would like to talk to you, Dad, if it’s OK?”“Yes, I do remember him, daughter. Put him on the line, please…”At her male paren
“Eron, I’m already done with your request,” Madame Tess declared with a pleased voice as she entered the half-filled living room. “We can now use it to enchant the food items that you plan to feed to your Ärger guests.”The hazel-eyed Charmer immediately stood up from the flowery-patterned armchair where he was lounging and gave a small nod and smile of approval at what he heard. “That’s wonderful news, Mrs. Merhi! Now all we have to do is drizzle your potion on the foodstuff in the dining room table and kitchen counters.”“Leave that to us and your Twinny, son. But I would like to ask Diwana to join us so we can continue to teach her how to use her Faye magic.”“Of course, Madame. All you need to do is ask,” the smiling curvy mate said as she stood from the matching floral sofa, then quickly walked towards her renter slash magic mentor. “We can begin now, no problem.”“While you're doing that, we’ll just take our ride back to our rented shack and get those skinned bunnies so you can
The door of the nearest 2nd-storey bedroom next to the wide staircase resounded with half a dozen loud knocks before Emily could answer the door.“Just a minute, Helena. I needed to take a bath since I couldn’t take one before I had completed the medical examination at the hospital this morning,” the young lady said in a voice loud enough to be heard by the person behind the door. “I hope I didn’t make you wait too long.”Emily quickly opened the door and gasped in surprise at the sight of the tall, good-looking and well-built man behind it. She froze, her mouth wide open in the middle of wiping her dripping hair with the white towel provided by their landlady. “J-Jack, why are you here?” stuttered the rescued female, in shock and extreme nervousness.“Hello, Emmy. Can I talk to you for a bit?” the lumberyard supervisor asked a little hesitantly. “That is, if you have nothing to do right now…”“No… I mean, yes, I am not busy at the moment, so yeah, we can talk. Please come in,” the
“Hey, Hero. Looks like your Eleuthera idea is turning out great!” Nick said from the passenger seat of his friend’s car. “Am I also glad that you’ll now be freeing your men and my buddies from that Chin bitch’s hold! That has always been a problem for me, which is why I keep Brenner’s concoction regularly to counter Chin’s potions in our food that’s being served at the mansion.”“It was one of the first things that Bren mentioned after he realized it. He ate from the governor’s buffet table and found himself sexually pleasuring the governor without even being aware of how it happened, bro,” the Ogre admitted as he continued to drive around 1 mile per hour less than the highway’s speed limit since he was in a hurry to get to Mendez and he knew that the high-powered vans where the Ärgers that were riding behind him were closely following him. He was driving this fast since he truly wanted to liberate his men from the enchantment of the governor’s wife and Ed himself as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, back in the city…Ring, ring, ring… Click!“Hello, wife. Why are you calling me on my landline so early in the morning? This better be really important, Chin!”“It is, Ed. Have your private army already gone to Mendez?”“Yes, they left with my Left Hand a few hours ago…”“I just looked into my scrying crystal and I saw your precious little Left hand will soon manage to break the loyalty spell that I put on the Ärgers somehow!”“What? He would not dare! Didn’t your spell work on the Ogre as well, wife?”“I don’t know how, but he and the Right Hand seem impervious to my lesser-powered enchantments even from day one. I remember telling you that even from the start, husband dear. Don’t you remember?”The governor swallowed the words that he was about to say and just left them to run through his thoughts as he remained silent; I do remember your warning, Chin, but it mattered to me that anyone cannot influence my closest underlings by magic or sorcery. Even by you, wife. I canno
“Okay Macky, please let them know your mama and me will just get dressed then we’ll be meeting them downstairs!” the former Right Hand yelled from inside the locked bathroom. “Just tell them to wait, alright?”“Yep, will do Papa Eron!” the smiling male youth replied, then immediately left to obediently follow his new stepfather’s instructions. “Oh, before I forget Papa, I brought the clothes that you were carrying home with you inside your bedroom.”“Thanks, Macky!” As he answered his new stepson, the muscular tinkerer stood up from the white clawed-foot bathtub and then offered his large, long-fingered hand to his mate. While the fully naked Lycan husband gently pulled his wife to her feet, Diwa suddenly spoke up.“Don’t you lock your door, love? I remember handing you the key for it when you paid your advance before…”“I never do, cupcake, and now that you will let me transfer to your room since we are now married, we can let my Twinny transfer to my bedroom and let Macky go back to
“Is it okay if I use the bathtub while you shower, Eron?” the naked curvy Diwa inquired as she slowly stepped into her filled bubbly bath which she had already prepared to meet her preference. “That way we can take our baths in unison so we can be on time to receive our guests later.”The younger hazel-eyed muscled male smirked as he replied, “Why should we take separate baths, cherry pie when I’m sure we can both fit in the bathtub?” he suggested as his passion heavily reflected from his eyes and tone while he slowly approached his now-soaking and sponging wife.“But how on earth can we fit in here, husband?” asked Diwa in a half-laughing and partially panicked voice as she tried to move her long tanned and smooth legs to accommodate the burly hunk of a man as he stepped into the warm and fragrant waters of the tub. “I don’t think that’s possible, love.”Eron chuckled low, his broad, hairy chest rumbling along to his deep and delicious masculine sound. “Believe me, Diwana there are so
