The Cambion's Hoard
Chapter 7-Rose

I stretched, and my back popped blissfully. The girls had been working overtime, and everything was a mess. I’d mopped more rooms than usual, and I was wiped out.

A pair of arms wrapped around my shoulders. “You look exhausted. Being away from home too weird?”

“Nope, slept in my car last night because I got into a fight with my roommates first thing.”

Sly whipped around and put her hands on her hips. Sly was the quintessential succubus. Ivory skin, dark hair, naturally red lips, curves to envy, and legs for days. Though I wasn’t jealous of her, she was my best friend.

“What do you mean you got into a fight?”

I blew out air. “They party a lot. The house gremlin is in rough shape, and I went off on them about it. I may have slapped one of them.”

“Rose!” She grabbed my shoulders. “That is not like you at all.”

I grabbed one of her hands and squeezed it. “I know. I couldn’t help it. Wallace’s fur is matted and greasy. He’s so angry. If they had considered him, he’d have been clean and happy.”

“Ugh, do I need to put those men in their places? I will make them suffer.” Her venom was adorable.

“No, It’s ok, really. I called my landlord and explained. When I left for work, they were picking up all the garbage Wallace had returned to the visible. I was expecting another fight, but they all seemed too preoccupied.”

Sly pinched my cheeks. “Were you wearing your uniform?”

“Yeah, what’s that got to do with anything?” I pulled from her grasp and picked up my mop and bucket.

“I forget that you are oblivious to when men are distracted by women. That and you always have terrible experiences with men.”

“Are you saying my outfit was distracting?” I looked over my shoulder at her.

“I’m saying you don’t understand the power you hold. You’re sexy, Rose. Your father has taught you strict discipline. I’ve seen you stare down an incubus and win. He practically begged us to fuck him after his interaction with you. I bet those men you’re living with, while probably a little mad, are trying to figure out how to fuck you.” Sly slapped my ass.

“Ha. No way. When I got there yesterday, two were seconds away from sex on the couch. The third was watching. Did I mention that two of them are identical twins?” I pushed open the bathroom door.

“No. So, one was messing around, and the other was watching?” Sly was giddy with excitement.

“Yeah. I don’t understand how that dynamic works. I wouldn’t want to watch my brother have sex with my boyfriend or girlfriend. Let alone share.” I dumped the mop water in the toilet; it was disgusting.

Sly leaned against the stall door. “Now, don’t knock it. Think of it this way, they’ll always be competing to see who can fuck you better.”

“I don’t want to be fucked. I want to work, go to school and be happy.” I looked at Sly, and she didn’t appear to believe me.

“I want you to replace someone to make you feel good. You deserve that.” She wrapped me in her arms and hugged me tightly. “I love you, Rose, but sometimes you need to let loose and feel.”
