Sofia and Jackie stumbled out of the elevator and into the top floor of the casino, laughing as they did.

  John nodded to them beside the door and unlocked it for them.

  “Thanks,” Sofia smiled as they stepped into the penthouse. It was a large open space with many windows to let in as much light as possible. The renovations Eloise had done were extensive.

  The tinted special glass kept the penthouse dark despite the fact they could look right up at the sun. It was as close as Sofia would ever get to feeling it shine down upon her.

  Eloise looked up from the couch with a glass of blood and a book.

  “I hope you two don’t make a mess, you know John has a sensitive stomach,” Eloise sighed.

  Sofia smiled stupidly. They had not in fact made a mess. The child molester they had snagged was still very much alive and suspended from the ceiling in the other room. While a meal a month was enough, snacking weekly was better for the soul.

  Jackie seemed to get a kick out of tormenting them and keeping them alive as long as possible. She was a masochist when it came to Sofia but she certainly had a sadistic side.

  Sofia didn’t enjoy the process quite as much, dragging it out seemed risky even if she could stomach the cruelty.

  Sofia glanced at Jackie, her pet often got what she wanted. Plus Eloise was a big fan of having blood “on tap.” Sofia’s mother would have been horrified if she could see her now.

  But that conflict still hadn’t been resolved even a year later. While her mother called and talked to her regularly she still wanted her vampirism kept from the rest of the family. So distance had been created, and her father and brothers had certainly noticed.

  Sofia was busy, exams were just around the corner. Maria could explain why Sofia wasn’t coming home for the winter break in a few weeks. She wouldn’t be able to hold onto her degree forever when she got it but knowledge was invaluable when you lived forever.

  “No, no, we’ve just hit the jackpot,” Jackie chuckled. “Literally,” she grinned, waving the cheque.

  Eloise’s eyes went wide. “Seriously?”

  Jackie shrugged and ripped it up, tossing the shreds into the garbage.

  Eloise sighed, “I ask you two to launder some money and somehow you win the jackpot.”

  Sofia smirked, “it would be more exciting if you didn’t own the casino.”

  Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

  “Being my daughter, it will be yours in 45 years when Eloise Smith passes away,” Eloise retorted.

  “I can’t believe you picked such a boring name,” Jackie grumbled, pouring herself a thumb of whisky.

  Eloise shrugged, “it hardly matters. I just had to exist if I was going to own property.”

  Sofia had learned a lot in the last few months, how to create a false identity, how to conceal food in plastic bags to make it seem like you were eating, and how to launder thousands of stolen bills into legitimate businesses.

  She never could have seen this all coming but life was good. The vampires had a foothold in Toronto. There was always flesh blood below.

  “Good night, Mother,” Jackie offered sarcastically as she tugged Sofia towards the master bedroom.

  “I’ll go get my earplugs,” Eloise sighed to herself in defeat. Heightened senses, as Sofia had come to realize, had their faults. Especially when it came to Jackie who seemed to be incapable of keeping quiet. Sofia certainly didn’t mind even if Eloise did.

  Sofia let herself be tugged into the large bedroom. Only then did she turn the tables and grab Jackie. Jackie yelped with surprise as Sofia then pinned to the bed below her.

  “Someone’s impatient,” Sofia smirked.

  “You know winning turns me on,” Jackie laughed heavily. Sofia still didn’t free her hands.

  “And being the centre of attention, you did order everyone at the table drinks on us,” Sofia scolded.

  Jackie pouted. “We won big. I was just playing along.”

  Sofia rolled her eyes. “We both know you just wanted all eyes on you. Especially…”

  Jackie gasped as Sofia cupped her through her jeans. Sofia could feel the dampness through them, even the quietest vibrators were audible to her. Jackie smirked, pleased with herself.

  “Were you trying to rile me up? Because it worked,” Sofia hummed, nipping gently at Jackie’s throat.

  Jackie moaned and pressed up into her.

  “A-Actually it backfired about halfway through, w-when I remembered I can’t cum without your permission so I-I was just… fuck,” Jackie groaned as Sofia slid her fingers down Jackie’s jeans.

  Sofia laughed. “You’ve always been so impulsive, Jackie. Sometimes you need to think these things through.”

  “What’s the fun in that?” Jackie managed to retort.

  “How long is the battery on that?” Sofia purred.

  “I-I don’t know, a while,” Jackie whined as Sofia ran her fingers through her folds.

  “Good,” Sofia chirped, pulling away and sliding her sickened fingers into Jackie’s mouth. “Because you're gonna keep that toy vibrating in you until the battery dies and only then are you allowed to take it out.”

  Jackie’s indignant slightly panicked squeak was muffled by Sofia’s fingers. “Ah, maybe think things through next time, pet,” Sofia retorted with a smirk.

  Jackie whimpered pathetically. Sofia wasn't falling for it.

  “You’ve been a very bad girl, Jackie, and I know how desperate you are to cum right now but that’s just not gonna happen,” Sofia sighed, trying to seem as uninterested as possible. Not reducing Jackie to a wet puddle was actually taking quite a lot of self-control. Just because she pretended to be unaffected didn’t remotely mean she was.

  “Sofi,” Jackie pleaded.

  “You’re not even wearing your collar, I just thought I trained you better than this,” Sofia sighed.

  “You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me,” Jackie groaned as Sofia climbed off of her.

  “Another word out of you and you can sleep on the doggie bed,” Sofia smiled.

  Jackie glared at her in irritation. It wasn’t often Sofia managed to push Jackie’s buttons, it was almost always the other way around. But Jackie had yet to use her safe word, not that Jackie even really had a say of if she did or not, they were entirely automatic. This meant despite Jackie’s faux annoyance she was enjoying this just as much as Sofia was.

  “But I’m horny, Mistress,” Jackie whimpered dramatically.

  Sofia pulled her up by her shirt collar to kiss her. “When are you not?” Sofia asked as she trailed kisses down her neck.

  Jackie tilted her head to the side exposing her throat eagerly. Some things never changed. But Sofia very much had.

  “I love you, Jackie,” Sofia whispered.

  “I love you two,” Jackie smiled.

  Then Sofia slid her fangs gently into Jackie’s neck. Jackie moaned before relaxing into Sofia’s grip in bliss.

  Everyone was in the gutter but Sofia and Jackie were dancing among the stars.

  The End
