side story 4

Family fireside, wine warming. Luna, Theo sprawl sofas. Vicky pounces catlike. "Darlings, peckish."

Luna yelps as Vicky nibbles earlobe gentle, teeth graze. "Mother! Vampire gran!" Giggles.

Theo next, neck nibble ticklish. "Yield, witch queen!" Poshed protest, laughing.

Vicky purrs. "Nibbles love bites, dears." Chin lift Luna, nibble collarbone. Theo shoulder. Edward chuckles. "Classic."

Twins retaliate, nibble war erupts. Chaos joyous, nibbles everywhere. "Fishnets no protection!" Theo.

Vicky triumphs, pinning. "My progeny, forever tasty." Hugs dissolve mirth.

Bonds bite-sweet.
