Chapter 59

 

Blade and Ice gave birth to triplets on the same day.

From top to bottom: Agatha, Aileen, Alexandra, Amanda, Amos, Andre  

Before too long it was time for Blade’s parole hearing. He tugged nervously at the collar of his tunic. He had done everything he could think of to convince the Council of his sincerity.

“Would you please stop pacing? I’m sure that everything’s going to be alright,” ice complained.

“I can’t help it. Don’t you think they’re taking a long time to reach a decision?”

“It’ll take however long it takes. It might be good that it’s taking this long. A short deliberation would mean that the Council was in agreement.”

“True.”  

The door opened. “Fabian Dickson, would you come in please?”

Blade took a deep breath and walked into the Council chamber. A glance at the Council gave no indication which way the decision had gone.

“Fabian Dickson, you stand before us accused of kidnapping and raping the vampire called Ice King. It is the decision of this Council since you have shown sincere remorse for your part in those incidents. Therefore, it is our judgment that you have served your sentence for your part. You are therefore released on your recognizance. You are free to go.”

Blade sagged with relief. He had never actually believed that he would be released. He walked out of the courtroom. Ice looked up expectantly. “What happened?”

“I’m free. They let me go.”

Ice leapt up and flung himself into Blade’s arms. Blade held him close and buried his face in Ice’s neck. He wept with joy. Now he could start planning his future with Ice and Aaron and Onyx.

“Come on, Blade, let’s go home.”

Blade pulled back and kissed Ice passionately, pushing Ice roughly against the wall. He shoved his knee between Ice’s legs before grinding his groin into him.

“Patience,” Ice breathed, “you don’t really mean to take me here outside the Council chamber, do you?”

Blade drew back, fighting to regain control of his emotions. “No, I suppose not. However, we should hurry home. I fully intend to ravish you.”

Ice’s grey eyes glowed. His voice lowered, “Just what did you have in mind?”

Blade gave him a wicked smile, “You’ll just have to wait till we get home. Anticipation is the best sauce.”

“You’re no fun, but since it’s your day, I’ll surrender myself into your hands. Tonight I’ll be your slave.”
