Chapter 2

Thea entered her apartment and was immediately greeted by the stench of death. She wrinkled her nose in disgust as she dropped her keys into the bowl next to the front door. She noticed a postcard in there and with a sigh, picked it up and flipped it over to read it.

‘Sisters!

I miss you both dearly, Italy is amazing and the men are even better 😉 I wish you would come out here and visit! I’ve been asked to walk the runway in Milan fashion week! I hope you’re both doing good.

Penny, I hope you’re behaving yourself and Thea, I hope you’re at least getting laid!

Just in case you’re not, I also sent you a little care package😉

Love you always, Aggie xoxo’

Thea chuckled and picked up the package that was leaning against the table, she tore off the brown packaging tape and her eyes bulged at the assortment of ‘toys’. Vibrators, dildo’s, double ended dildo’s, butt plugs, ball gags, harness’.

Thea’s face redden as she stifled a giggle. There was another little card tucked in the box, she picked it up to read.

‘I do hope you’ll use these on a man but, I won’t blame you if you feel the need to chain and gag Penny😉’

Thea burst out laughing, “I just damn might have to,” she said to herself.

She dropped the box back down onto the floor as she moved down the hallway in the direction of the living room.  Thea let out a frustrated sigh when she saw the naked corpse of a man slumped over the couch.

“Penny, really? You better clean your mess up,” she yelled through the apartment.

Penny strutted through from the kitchen, completely naked, her long curly raven hair cascaded down her shoulders and her beautiful bronze skin glistened in the amber light of the sconces.

“Disappointed I didn’t share Thelxiepeia?” she grinned, her hazel eyes glistened as she looked at the scene before her. “I have another one waiting in my room if you’re hungry? He tied, stripped and rockhard,” she teased.

Thea rolled her eyes. “How many times Penny, please don’t call me that!”

“What? Thelxiepeia? It is your name after all,” she shrugged. The only thing Penny enjoyed more than feeding was, annoying her sisters.

“That’s not been my name for over a millennium and you know it, Parthenope,” Thea narrowed her eyes and a sly smile grew on her face.

Penny flinched, “Ughh, there is just nothing sexy about that name at all,” she grunted.

“There’s also nothing sexy about all the dead men lying around my apartment!” Thea yelled. “Clean up your mess, I’m tired and I’m going to bed,” Thea stifled a yawn.

“You know you wouldn’t even need to sleep if you fed every once in a while,” Penny retorted.

“Fuck that,” Thea said, “they’re never worth the hassle,” she argued weakly. Penny knew as well as Thea that wasn’t the reason she abandoned their ways.

Thea began to walk to her room when Penny called out from behind her, “Thea, why did you want me to walk you home today? What happened?”

Thea sighed and turned to walk back towards Penny, she dropped down into the armchair.

“Just a guy, he bumped into and knocked me over, I think he must’ve fell under my spell and he got pretty handsy, David threw him out but, I could see him over the street watching through the windows the whole night, I’m pretty sure he followed me home as well,” Thea went silent as she looked up at the ceiling, she rubbed her eyes in frustration.

“I just don’t want to end up in the same situation we had last year in New York and I sure as hell don’t want to kill anyone again, maybe I should just join a fucking nunnery!”

Penny snorted, “Yea right, like you’d worship some fake god in a fucking habit and veil!”

Thea chuckled in exasperation. “Sometimes, I really wish I wasn’t immortal, it’s a fucking curse! I’m sick to death of living in fear,” she shook her head trying to stop the tears that were forming in her eyes from spilling over.

“What the hell have you got to fear? You’re one of the most powerful women to have ever lived, if you weren’t so fucking stubborn and just gave into your true nature, you wouldn’t be feeling these pathetic human emotions!” Penny voice grew with her frustration.

Thea glared at Penny, her Green eyes shimmering with her anger. “Do you remember any of your kills? Any of the souls you have taken? I do, I remember every single one, I remember every single face, I remember their eyes as the light died out, I remember the cries of their mothers, wives and children!” Penny’s face softened as Thea’s tears began to flow freely.

“Thea, its not as if they die a miserable death, their last moments are spent experiencing pleasure they’ve never known before,” Penny tried to reason with her but, it did little to nothing to comfort Thea.

“They still met their ends, regardless of how. Their families still mourn, what we do, who we are, its wrong! Our touch, our voice, it’s a death sentence, how is that okay?”

Penny opened her mouth to speak again but, she was cut off by whimpers sounding from her room, “Penny, I miss you, I need you, come to me,” the man’s voice cooed. Penny looked at the ground, she felt a little ashamed.

Even though she was accepting of who they were, it pained her to see her sister so torn up by her own nature.

Thea stood up from her chair, “You better get back to your fuck feast before he chews his own arm off to get to you, make sure this is cleaned up by the morning,” and without another word, she went to her room and slammed the door shut.

Penny smirked at Thea’s comment but, her smirk quickly vanished when the smell of blood drifted through the air, it wouldn’t be the first time one of her meals amputated themselves to get to her.

Once in her room, Thea leaned back against her door and sighed heavily. She removed her jacket and shoes and put them away before stripping off and heading into the shower. One of the downsides to being ‘sober’ was that she also had to be abstinent.

She blamed her sexual frustration for her attitude with Penny, she could smell the sex in the air. It had lit a fire inside her that wouldn’t go out.

Sure, she had taken women lovers over the years in an attempt to satiate her sexual desires, women were immune to her powers but, it always ended in her losing control and feeding on them.

Thea tried to shake the memories away as she stood under the hot waters of the shower, “thank the gods for detachable shower heads,” she muttered to herself.

Thea’s shoulders slumped as her muscles began to relax under the hot streams of the water.

The scent of vanilla beans filled the room as she washed herself.

She closed her eyes as she massaged the shampoo into her hair and she imagined that they were the hands of another.

She let out a sensual moan and after rinsing the shampoo off, reached up to the shower head and removed it from the holder. She changed the setting to massage and brought it down between her legs.

She gasped at the contact of the pulsing waters against her delicate folds. She ran a hand down her wet, soapy neck and came down to cup her breast, with her thumb and fore finger, she gently pinched down on her erect nipple releasing another moan from her lips.

Her hand continued its pursuit down her body until she reached in between her legs, she carefully manoeuvred the showerhead so that it could continue its onslaught on her swollen clit.

Her fingers grazed her opening and she placed a finger inside her soft and wet sex. A gasp escaped her parted lips at the contact and she had to grit her teeth together to stop another moan from escaping her.

Her sex tightened around her finger drawing her in deeper, she slowly withdrew her finger and this time, pushed two into her tight cunt. She pulled her fingers back and gently rubbed her sweet spot, all the while, the pulsating rhythm of the showerhead was bringing her closer to her release.

Her knees began to tremble as she felt her climax drawing nearer, she fell back against the cold shower wall and the contrast of the cold tiles against the heat of steam tipped her over the edge.

She cried out as her orgasm tore through her, stars clouded her vision and she could feel her cum dripping down her legs, she slowed her rubbing down and gently removed the showerhead as her nerves began to calm.

She finished rinsing off and stepped out of the shower to wrap a large fluffy towel around herself. She rang the excess water out of her hair into the sink before moving through to her room. She dropped down onto the bed and felt herself slip into a deep sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
