“Lydia!”

In shock, Cooper stared at his sister, while Anita scrambled to pull on the duvet and managed to cover his midsection with a corner of it, her face as red as the blood that thundered through her veins. Her embarrassment was impossible to overlook. Cooper didn’t care about his sister seeing him half-naked and in the middle of a sexual act, after all, vampires had a high sex drive, and his sister knew that better than anybody else. For a while, she’d gone through men like underwear, trying on a new one every day. But Anita had probably grown up with other sensibilities when it came to sex.

“I’m not sure why Mom asked me to check on you.” Lydia motioned to him and Anita. “By the looks of it, you’re doing just fine.” She smirked. “Better than fine.”

It was no surprise that their mother was responsible for this rude interruption. “It appears Mom still has trust issues.”

Lydia tipped her chin toward the handcuffs. “I can see why.”

“That’s just for fun.” He looked at Anita. “Anita, this is my older sister, Lydia. Lydia, this is my, uhm…” He rattled on the handcuffs. “… my keeper.”

“Hey, Anita,” Lydia said with a grin. “Don’t mind if I don’t shake your hand, but…” She tossed a pointed look at the spot where the duvet covered his groin.

Anita’s face turned even redder if that was possible. “Uhm, hi, Lydia, nice to meet you.”

“How about you tell Mom that I’m perfectly fine, and she doesn’t need to worry about me,” Cooper suggested. “As you can see, I’m in good hands.”

“Do you want me to give her all the details?” Lydia asked, still not making a move.

“Not necessary. Bye, Lydia. I would say, stay and chat, but as you can see, this is not a good time. I’m a little tied up right now.”

Chuckling, Lydia looked at Anita, giving her a once-over. “I hope my brother isn’t behaving too selfishly.” She winked and turned on her heel. “Have fun, guys.”

He heard Lydia leave the house. Anita was already jumping off the bed.

“Oh my God,” she cried out, breathing irregularly and fanning herself with both hands. “Your sister saw me giving you a blow job. Oh my God! What are we gonna do now?”

“Continue?” Cooper asked with a smirk.

“Are you crazy? What if your mother interrupts us next? No, no! I have to get out of here.”

“Easy, Baby. Breathe. Nothing happened. My sister doesn’t care.” He pulled on his restraints. “But if you don’t want to stay here, then uncuff me, and we’ll go back to Wesley’s house.”

Anita looked as if she didn’t know what to do, turning on her own axis twice, before she seemed to realize what she needed to do. She pulled a key out of her handbag and unlocked the handcuffs. When he was free, Cooper rose and pulled his pants up and zipped up. Then he put his arms around her.

“It’s okay.”

“This has never happened to me.” Slowly, Anita’s breathing settled into a steadier rhythm. “Your sister is beautiful.”

“You’re more beautiful,” he murmured into her ear and pressed a kiss to her cheek.

“She doesn’t look like you or your parents at all.”

“She’s adopted.”

“Oh. Does that mean she’s human?”

Cooper shook his head. “No, she’s a vampire hybrid like me. Her parents were murdered the night she was born. So my parents raised her as their daughter.”

“That’s so sweet of your parents to do that.”

“They are good people. You’ll see when you really get to know them. My mother is a very loving woman. She almost lost my father when they first met. That’s why now when something happens to the people she loves, she’s like a tigress.”

“What happened with your dad?”

“He, Wesley, and Katie were the three siblings of a witch. They were supposed to be the three most powerful witches in the world: the power of three. But another witch captured them and was about to harness the power for evil. So my father decided to kill himself to destroy the power.”
