The woman moaned in response, and Zara came. Then, she watched Cassia come as well, and Miranda rolled off her quickly as if they didn’t need to touch anymore now that Cassia had come.

“Would you like a little more?” the human asked Zara when she stood back up and tilted her head again.

“No, thank you,” she replied.

The woman nodded, wiped her wet mouth, and left the room as if nothing at all had just happened. Cassia moved to sit on the sofa and patted her legs for Zara, who walked over and straddled her.

“You like this,” Cassia stated as she ran her hands up and down Zara’s sides. “Do you want to join Gigi in a room?”

“Not right now, but maybe later.” She heard herself say that, but she still couldn’t believe she’d just had sex with two strangers and had watched even more.

“Tell me what youdowant, then,” Cassia encouraged before she sucked on Zara’s nipple.

Zara’s brain continued to have a hard time focusing, but she did her best to remember why she’d come here.

“I needed to tell you what I saw today.”

“And what was that?” Cassia asked before she licked her nipple.

“Arwen and Iro had lunch.”

“And?”

“And I’ve never seen Arwen like this before. She said it was serious.”

Cassia laughed and replied, “It cannot be serious. They just met.”

“It is. Trust me, I know my best friend. She’s already in love, and she doesn’t know it. That means…” Zara sighed. “That means it’s over for me.”

“Oh, Zara… You’re still thinking like a human, when you’ll live forever now. If you don’t turn Arwen, she’ll die in a few decades, and you will have moved on. You’ll find someone else how I found my Iro.”

“Iro is falling for her, too. I don’t know her how you do, but she seems very serious about Arwen.”

“She’s just a serious person,” Cassia said. “It confuses people who don’t know her.”

“You’ve mentioned something before about how she would be able to smell you if you got too close.”

“Yes. We’ve known each other for centuries, so if I get too close, she’ll know I’m in town. That’s why I stayed across the street and stood by a Greek restaurant.”

“Could she smell me? You said you could smell my cancer and that vampires taste different than humans.”

“Oh, I see.” Cassia looked up at her then. “You’re worried you’ll be caught as my little spy. Iro is a lot younger than me. Her senses are good, but not as strong as mine. The only reason I worry about her smellingmeis that she knowsallof my scents. She also refuses to enjoy being a vampire, but for a few special occasions, so she doesn’t often use her heightened senses. It’s unlikely that she even noticed your cancer. I would recommend not getting too close, or she might realize you’re a vampire now, though.”

“Not getting too close? She’s dating my best friend.”

“Just meet them in a public place with some confusing scents, and you’ll blend right in. Now, would you like me to fuck you? You can ride my fingers. I’d like that.”

“No, Cassia. I’m telling you that your plan isn’t working. I know Arwen. She wants Iro, and I’m not just talking sex or for a few dates. God, what does Iro have that I don’t? Is there some vampire power to make someone fall in love with you?”

“I told you, any kind of powers are incredibly rare. No vampire has ever been able to make a human fall in love with them, even though many of them have tried, I’m sure. Vampires with special abilities are revered, and if you must know, I’m one of them.”

Zara looked down in surprise and asked, “You can do what, exactly?”

“Ladies, leave us,” Cassia said abruptly.

The women around them stopped doing what they were doing instantly, as if in a trance, and without a word, they all left the room to continue doing whatever they wanted to do elsewhere.

“Well, I have a very special ability. I don’t just tell anyone, Zara. I don’t showthem, either.”
