Pigalle Palace (16 page)

Eve was the first to say something. “Well, look who decided to join the party.”

The blonde girl, whose name I later found out was Tiffany, looked at me and said, “So, you're a lesbian. Good. I was starting to think my senses were off.”

“Your senses are on point, tonight.”

Tiffany said, “Good.” Then, she hesitated before she asked, “Would you mind if I joined you ladies?”

I was thinking this couldn't have happened more perfectly. I came to work expecting to spend my evening fucking a man of
my choice, but ended up with two women in my room. This had never happened to me while at Vaisseau and trust, many freaky things happened over the years.

Eve said, “I wouldn't mind, would you, Azura?”

“I don't mind at all. Make yourself comfortable.”

She sat next to us. Eve proceeded with kissing me. Tiffany watched us for a few minutes. Then, she started taking off her clothes. I put my hand on Tiffany's breasts to get her involved. She moaned.

Eve noticed Tiffany was naked, so she took her clothes off, too. I stared at their beautiful bodies, two shades of light and dark next to one another. I stood and they undressed me next.

They seemed to like what they saw because they both had looks of pleasure all over their faces. Tiffany kissed me deeply, holding me close to her. Eve came up behind me and kissed my neck, putting her arms around both of us while pressing against me.

This was something I'd never experienced before, two women kissing me at once. It felt amazing.

Tiffany started massaging Eve's ass, and Eve moaned into my neck as she rubbed the inside of my thighs from behind. I moaned into Tiffany's mouth and pushed my hips forward into her hips, causing our pussies to press against each other. Both of us were shaved, and it felt so smooth when our pussies rubbed against each other.

I wondered what Eve was doing because I was lost in Tiffany's kiss, but Eve had managed to grab a dildo from the display case. Tiffany led me to the bed where she placed her body underneath mine. Eve got on her knees on the bed and rubbed the tip of the toy against my clit. I felt so much pleasure.

I moaned loudly into Tiffany's mouth and she took my breasts in her hands and massaged them, then sucked on one nipple while
she pinched the other. This was a sensory overload for me and I actually came right then.

The other two girls seemed to take my orgasm in stride while Tiffany moved lower so that I could ride her face. She licked my slit from back to front. Eve held onto me from behind while she massaged my breasts. When I was done coming on Tiffany's face, I eased off.

Eve and Tiffany licked each other's tongues. Eve bent me over and pulled my cheeks apart. She inserted the toy into me. When she thrust her hips, that's when I learned that she had the toy on. Tiffany started rapidly flicking the tip of her tongue on my breasts. It felt incredible to have someone fuck me while someone else was sucking my nipple; this was almost too much to handle.

It didn't take me long to come again, and while I was coming down from my orgasm, Tiffany kissed Eve, sharing my juices with her. It was a pleasant contrast, one blonde and one redhead. They started fondling each other's breasts. Eve stood up so her pussy was in Tiffany's face. Tiffany started eating Eve, tonguing her hole, then moving up and flicking her tongue against Eve's clit as she did mine.

I went over to Tiffany and placed my head between her legs. Tiffany noticed what I was doing and lowered herself down onto my face. This was when I realized that Tiffany was pierced.

Eve was moaning above me from the pleasure Tiffany was giving her. My tongue lapped the bar in Tiffany's clit, playing with it and pushing it around. Tiffany moaned loudly into Eve's pussy, which made Eve moan again. I could see Eve's breasts from underneath Tiffany and Tiffany's face buried in Eve's pussy.

I made Tiffany cum. Her thighs shook around my head and she screamed into Eve's pussy. I licked up the remaining moisture
around her thighs, and then untangled myself from Tiffany's legs. As I was doing that, Eve started coming, and Tiffany stuck a finger inside of her. This drove Eve over the edge.

Once Eve came, we shared a three-way kiss. Eve rubbed my clit. Eve broke the kiss and Tiffany sat back, watching. I leaned back on my arms, and Tiffany reached over and played with my breasts.

Right then, there was a knock on the door, which startled all of us. Legend yelled through the door, “Azura, everyone is leaving. Lock up when you leave.”

“All right.”

We started giggling.

I looked at them and said, “Now, where were we?”

T
hings had been quiet. Essence hadn't surprised me with her presence since she'd made that big scene at my parents'. I had a hard time getting Olivia to leave my side; she wanted to stay with me. I didn't refuse her. Her company was actually soothing.

The house phone was ringing close to four in the morning. I reached over since Olivia had just started to fall asleep. I got off work early and we made love hard. I made her cum five to six times, peaking and exploding into multiple orgasms. She had the trembles so bad that simply the touch of my hands made her go back into convulsions. Sleep soon followed.

“Hello...”

“Rain,” Mother cried on the other end of the phone.

I sat straight up. “What's the matter?”

She cried harder into the phone. “The Préfet… They came and took the baby.”

“When?”

“They took the baby about twenty minutes ago. They're going to expose him to the sun at dawn, Rain. We all have to be there to stand trial...”

“I'm on my way. Where's Onyx and Soleil?”

“They were taken with him…to a cell. Hurry.” She hung up.

I didn't hesitate before I got out of bed and changed out of my bedclothes.
I didn't want to wake Olivia, so I left her sleeping soundly.

I got to my mother's house as fast as I could.

“How did they find out?” I demanded.

Mother was crying uncontrollably.

Legend replied, “They know everything and they've known for some time. They were just waiting… They killed Chantal and her husband before they could make it to the airport.”

“When?”

“A few hours ago. Court will be held in an hour, and at dawn they will open the roof and the sun will hit Ulysses' skin.”

I placed my hand on the top of Mother's hair. “Mother, look at me, please.”

She lifted her head slowly. Her eyes were swollen and bloodshot.

I took a deep breath and exhaled, feeling like I was the only one that could save us all from the ill fate of the Préfet. “Don't cry. Nobody should be crying right now. We've been waiting our whole lives for this moment. This is the moment that we find out if the Divination is in fact true.”

“Rain, you don't know that! You haven't been in the sun since you changed!” Father fired my way. “What if Ulysses dies? Our miracle will be gone just like that and they will kill the rest of us.”

“He's not going to die. We're not going to die. I promise you that.”

I had a plan and my family was going to have to trust me on this. I didn't know if I could stand one ray of sun, but I felt that something bigger was about to happen.

  *  *  *  

As soon as we entered the Château de Chambord, we didn't utter a single word. Azura, Legend, Mother, Father, and I held our heads
high. We didn't have to be ashamed. Though it felt like Doomsday, we were going to be able to prove the Divination true.

The Château de Chambord had been taken over by the Préfet when abandoned in 1883 when King Allemand was murdered. The killer was burned at the stake for high treason and no other King had sat on that throne.

It was a beautiful castle with a keep and corner towers, and was defended by a large moat. Built in Renaissance style, the internal layout was an early example of how the French and Italian style would group rooms into self-contained suites. The medieval-styled corridor rooms were breathtaking. The massive château was composed of a central keep with four immense bastion towers at the four corners. The keep also formed a part of the front wall of a larger compound with two more large towers. Bases for a possible further two towers were found at the rear, but these were never developed, and remained the same height as the wall. The château featured 440 rooms, 282 fireplaces, eighty-four staircases, and four rectangular vaulted hallways on each floor formed a cross-shape.

The Préfet was going to turn the castle over to the new King.

A line of officers led us to a dim candlelit courtroom. There was no surprise that the court was filled with over eighty elder vampires from our community, all wanting to witness the outcome.

When I looked at the fear in my family's eyes, I felt something in the pit of my stomach. It caused my mind to race. How was I going to get us out of this mess alive? I never wanted to see fear on my family's faces ever again. I clenched my teeth to keep my anger under control.

I turned my head to the right:
she
was there. I could smell
her
. Essence was in the courtroom, but I couldn't spot her.

Legend, Azura, Mother, Father, and I were seated on a bench
that was guarded by armed officers. We waited patiently to see if Onyx and Soleil would be allowed to come into court.

The Chancellor was Keeper of the Seal and he was in charge of officiating justice. He and his officials had been waiting for our arrival.

“Everyone is now here… Bring them in,” he said in a calm manner.

Soleil's and Onyx's feet and hands were chained together as they filed into the courtroom led by an officer. As they stood in front of us, I noticed the bruises and whip marks through their torn clothes. Blood coming from their wounds made me ball up my fists. They weren't healing as fast as usual and that made me believe they were given a serum to weaken them. They had been tortured for an answer, but they had no answers.

Only I had the answers. It was time to show them what I knew.

“I see the Toussaint family is all here minus Legend's fraudulent wife. She's been taken care of…” The Chancellor nodded his head at one of the officers.

An officer announced, “Court is now in session.”

“We are here on the matters of the Toussaint family. You have managed to hide the pregnancy of Onyx's wife, Soleil. Once the baby was born, you still didn't report the birth. Why was that?”

Father stood to talk, but before he could get a word in, the Chancellor signaled for him to sit down.

“I want to hear from the divine one...Rain.”

I stood with my head held high. “Yes, Chancellor.”

“Why didn't you or anyone in your family report the birth of this vampire child?”

“We wanted to make sure that the child was safe and we wanted to see for ourselves if in fact he was a Daywalker.”

The crowd gasped and small chatter proceeded.

The Chancellor yelled, “Order…
Arrêté
…”

The chatter stopped.

He continued, “Were you able to test this theory?”

“Not yet.”

“Have you, yourself, been out in the sun yet?” the Chancellor asked with wide curious eyes.

“…Not yet, Chancellor.”

“Why is that? Do you not believe in the Divination?”

“It's not that I don't believe in it… I'm not ready...”

“You're not ready to be King? That's assuming you are truly who your family thinks you are…” The Chancellor gave a head nod to one of the officers.

The officers grabbed me roughly and bound me down to the ground underneath the sunroof with steel chains. I didn't put up a fight. I wouldn't have been able to win. There were too many of them.

“No!” Mother shouted.

Father held her while chatter filled the room.

“
Arrêté!
”

The court was quiet again.

“Bring out the baby!” the Chancellor demanded.

The baby was held by an officer. He was sleeping soundly. We could tell Ulysses was still alive because he started to stir once they laid him next to me. When I looked over at him, he actually turned to stare at me. My nephew was a wonderful gift and one of us was going to change our world.

“In less than five minutes, the sunroof will open and the sun will beam down on this area only. If the Divination has been interpreted correctly, only one of you will burn. Which one will it be? If we have misinterpreted the Divination, then you both will burn
to death.” The Chancellor was firm in his decision. “Does anyone in this courtroom, other than the ones standing trial, feel this is unjust?”

The courtroom was still and no one spoke up. I could hear sobs from my family, but I kept my eyes on the baby. One of us wasn't going to burn; I wasn't sure which one of us was going to die.

“If they both burn, the family will be burned for misleading the government into thinking that this is the next royal family. If one of them survives the sun, then you will live and will be set free.”
