As the sun began to set outside, Serafina stood beside the curtained window, drawing the shades back slightly so she could see into the night. She stood naked, having not bothered to dress yet, already-healing bruises and cuts and bites peppering her body from the activities she and Xerxez had partaken in during the daylight hours. When she spun around to look at her new companion, a dark chuckle escaped her lips. "Oh, look at that," she said, gesturing to the bed. The mattress had been torn open along with a few pillows, feathers covering the immediate area. The bed frame had been reduced to boards and splinters. As she admired their handiwork, she spoke offhandedly. "We'll have to leave the maids a few extra coins for the furniture and the blood," she said, smirking.
"As much as I would love to spend eternity fucking, there are, unfortunately, matters that we must attend to," she said with a sigh as she walked back towards Xerxez, still lying in the rubble that was once the room's bed. She climbed down next to him, proceeding to toy with his dark hair, pushing it back on his forehead. "We need to get you properly fed, cleaned up, and dressed for the man you now are," she said, her eyes traversing his form. "Then, I will take you home - to your new home," she said, smiling at him - though her smile faded rather suddenly when she remembered that Nemesis and Celeste would most likely be at home. "It might be a bit… uncomfortable at first," she said, with an exasperated sigh. “I should have, if I were to follow the customs, approached Nemesis and Celeste before siring you,” she added. “However… fuck them. They’re too busy preparing for Celeste’s baby,” she said, a hint of disgust on the final word of the sentence.
The next few minutes Serafina spent dressing again, instructing Xerxez to do the same. She eyed him up and down for a moment. “We’re going to need to get you a new wardrobe,” she said as she walked towards him. Reaching up, she placed a hand on the side of his face. “Oh, what fun we’re going to have together,” she whispered. She moved to walk towards the door, and turned, holding her hand out to him. “Come now, let us find you dinner,” she said, her eyes narrowed and a sinister smile on her face as she led him out the door.
The pair snuck into an alley. “You will wait here,” Serafina instructed him, hoping he would oblige without her exerting her influence over him. She whisked off elsewhere, coming back shortly with a rather beautiful brunette on her arm. “Look, darling, she’s agreed to come home with us for a bit of fun!” she called to Xerxez and the two women approached him. The brunette laughed as they approached, clearly being somewhat drunk - Serafina had invited her to join Xerxez and she for the night - a clear lie, though the brunette was unaware.
When they were near him, Serafina gave Xerxez a quick glance, her beautiful blue eyes having shifted to their true crimson. With a flash, she grabbed the brunette by the throat and pinned her to the brick wall of the building they stood behind, her other hand covering the woman’s throat so she could not scream. “My gift to you,” she said, looking at Xerxez with a strange admiration in her eyes, as though it were a gift of love. “I want to watch you take everything from her. Show me the power I’ve given you, love,” she said, her eyes narrowing even further, her chest rising and falling as her breath mirrored her excitement.
