The Gentle Maiden and Five Lustful Brothers-Chapter 78: a side story with Jeremy and Rosa

Jeremy couldn’t figure out why he was so anxious and fidgety. This was just a party, it’s not like he was nervous about having all these people here, crowds didn’t make him anxious, they just made him uncomfortable, they were needlessly loud. People often expected for conversation to be reciprocated, which wasn’t something he cared to entertain. He felt most of these people and their lives were to mundane to talk about, and none of them would have topics of interest for him to want to engage in a conversation with him.

But Rosa... She was interesting to talk with. He could talk about a lot of things with Rosa, like they loved linguistics. She was a musician, though she only practiced in private, she played the Violin. She had a love of music and though she learned the classics through her lessons, she did... more... She made it sing.

How Jeremy wanted to play his cello while she played her violin. The music they could make together. What music he could learn to make from her different styles. When she told him his music made her cry, it was a big deal. He wanted to know why her music was a secret. He wanted to know everything about her actually.

Why was he thinking about Rosa right now when he should be focusing on the party, this was about his gentle Violet. Not her friend. He needed to pull himself together before he winds up late and Gabriel chews him out. The time tyrant.

He dresses in a slick tailored black tux.

Heading downstairs to meet with his siblings and his father apparently.

"You look dashing, little brother. Rosa is sure to notice." Oliver pokes at Jeremy.

"Why would you think I care about her noticing me?" Jeremy’s demeanor didn’t change, but a flicker of excitement showed in his eyes for only a moment.

Before Oliver could deliver a comeback the birthday girl and her entourage descended the stairs.

Everyone stopped their conversations as they looked at three beautiful women moving effortlessly down the stars. Violet looked stunning in her midnight dress.

But when he noticed Rosa, it was like an arrow hit him in the chest and he was entranced by her. She radiated grace and beauty; in this moment her nobility was showing. Anyone seeing her could easily assume she was among the rest of the aristocrats. It wouldn’t be until they got closer to her would they be able to smell her as a half breed.

The thought of others thinking of Rosa as a half breed made his blood boil for a moment, but as she closed the gap separating them, her approach to him slow sent his heart, it was beating erratically.

He’s never felt this feeling before, it actually made him afraid. Like he was afraid of her.

What was wrong with him!

"Hey." She said so easily in front of him, he was choking on his words; they seemed to be caught in his throat.

He was enchanted by her look, her long red dress compliment and emphasized her figure, making her look so sexy and curvy.

She looked so mesmerizing he was struggling to speak. However, he quickly adjusted himself and greeted both Rosa and Violet.

They greet other party members and do some introductions on their way out, he follows closely behind Rosa.

Her ass moved nicely in the dress. Her hips swayed more than usual because of the style of her dress limiting her walking ability.

She was hypnotizing as she walked in front of him, he wanted to get lost in the curls of her hair and the curves of her body.

What was he thinking?

Approaching Violets human friends, he notices Oliver set his sights on the girl hugging Violet. Amanda is apparently her name.

Conversation starts off awkward at first but after the introductions and few engagements, thanks to Oliver’s easy-going personality, he was able to break the ice and relax the tension their human guests were probably experiencing. freewebnσvel.cøm

Then suddenly a someone behind us walks up interrupting the pleasant time everyone was having.

What asshole is responsible for that?

Turning around and Jeremy’s draw drops upon seeing a more voluptuous older version of Violet. Like an almost identical copy, with horns.

What the hell is going on here, and why is she calling Violet her daughter? Violet’s mother is dead.

Oh, well now it seems Ash is not responding well to this. Because now his eyes are turning red. Why can’t this guy get a grip on his emotions?

Woah, what the hell is that? Jeremy grabbed Rosa pulling her back as the woman transformed in front of their eyes. The process threw furniture and tables and even some people who weren’t fast enough backwards.

Now no longer a woman but an enormous Dragon stood in her place.

The only dragon is the... Oh my god...

"My queen." Jeremy whispered recognizing the woman in front of him as the Mother of Demons, Queen of the Damned; also known as his grandmother.

Ha! Jeremy thought, Asher got his ass checked by his grandmother. Oh, that’s a good one. My brother thought to challenge the Mother of Demons. If there was one person truly powerful enough to not only put Ash in his place but keep him there. The one truly unchallengeable woman.

And then just like that she goes from a giant dragon to a naked woman. In front of all our guests...

Putting her close back on she has us all follow her back to the main entrance and closing the doors to keep the humans outside. Looking back and the staff had already started to put the party set up back together again.

Walking to the front of the crowd I see Riley on his knees with a leash around his neck.

Walking by Jeremy spit on him. "The leash looks good; makes you look like the dog you are."

Riley glared upward at Jeremy.

"How’s it feel to be looked down on?" Jeremy laughed mocking Riley’s position.

"Fuck you." Riley said spitting back at him. Jeremy only laughed at the miserable look on Riley. He deserved every second of what awaited him.

Jeremy’s grandmother Lilith began speaking, displaying Riley’s crimes for all of vampire society to see.

Watching this humiliation greatly pleased Jeremy. This was the kind satisfaction he didn’t know he needed.

Then when she announces his punishment, Jeremy couldn’t be more overjoyed. All those years he was tortured by Riley for his pleasure was finally coming full circle.

Jeremy’s grin was terrifying as he watched his grandmother break each bone. With every crack he heard his heart seemed to skip a beat. Jeremy never thought torture could look so beautiful and wondered if this is what Riley felt when he tortured his girlfriends and violet and him. it was a scary thought, but he couldn’t help but feel thrilled watching the display of Riley’s pain in front of everyone. Humiliation was the ultimate form of punishment for Riley, and his grandmother was a smart woman and took advantage of that. Jeremy scourged the crowd seeing all the phones recording the event.

Then he sees the horror in Violet’s face. And all the joy he felt was swept away by a rush of heartache seeing Violet shed tears. Seeing her pain made an ache in his heart that he hated. Hated it more than he hated his brother. Just as he was about to step forward, but then Violet did so herself.

Violet is actually yelling! Not just yelling, she’s yelling at the Queen of all those who are Damned.

Everyone’s mouth hung open watching as this small, gentle, and quiet girl stood bravely in front of one of the most feared people in the world.

She never ceased to amaze those who see her.

And I could see Ash felt the same way looking at his face. It beamed with pride, seeing their Violet be fearless and brave. Not just anyone would do what she is doing, especially given Violet’s fear of confrontation, but she is picking a fight over a pervert, scumbag like Riley.

But then she suddenly turns and runs. Why? Ash is just standing and letting her go? I catch Ash’s eyes, and he motioned toward the spare bedrooms. Jeremy and Ash met in Viktor’s room.

"Why did you let her leave, Ash?" Jeremy yelled.

"She needs some space for a few moments, relax I’m going to grab my keys and pick her up, I’m just giving her some time to breathe." Ash paused and then looked at Jeremy with pain in his eyes. "I think she felt it, Jer, I think she felt Riley’s pain."

"Her abilities are growing fast; she doesn’t just know people’s thoughts now she can feel their feelings?" Jeremy was concerned.

"It’s almost like she’s some kind of psychic empath for vampires." Ash murmured.

"Yeah, I know... Fuck does that mean she felt the agony Riley was feeling as his bines were being snapped?" Things started to click in place for him on why Violet ran off and why Ash was taking his time chasing after her.

Ash nodded his head confirming Jeremy’s conclusion.

"Well, fuck, this spoils a whole ass party, one we worked so hard. How is it the mother fucker isn’t even invited, and he can still ruin everything."

"Yeah, right." Ash chuckled, "I can fix that though, I can take her to get my present for her. And when I do, get this shit cleaned up and explain things to Lilith. She is human and I think we all forgot how fragile her emotional state can be, especially in regard to things involving torture."

"You’re not wrong about that. But go after Violet, I’ll tend to the party with Oliver and Gabriel."

Ash leaves heading for the garage. And Jeremy heads back out to the party and explains to everyone.

"My apologizes for the disruption. Our birthday girl is human, and she hasn’t had the chance to stomach..." Jeremy paused to think of a good name for whatever this was, "entertainment such as this, it’s different on TV I guess. So forgive her, my brother Ash is on his way to retrieve her."

Oliver piped in "Until then let the party recompense!" Oliver was eager to get back outside to flirt with Amanda, the human friend of Violet.

Jeremy looked to his father and grandmother and with a flat tone he said "This is your mess clean it up, and get this, thing, out." His emotionless approach to demands often caught people by surprise, but without argument they obliged.

"Get up," "Come on, stand now." Lilith said jerking his leash upward. "Lets go pet. I’ll tie you up and put you in a cage in one of my homes."

Its hard to believe with how she treated Riley that they were related. But Lilith despised his type and no longer considered him family.

Jeremy seeks out Rosa, he needed to reassure her that Violet was okay. That’s what he told himself anyways.

Weaving through the crowd he finds her headed for the doors that lead to the garden. He grabs her wrist. Started she attempts to quickly pull back, but Jeremy was unfazed by her attempt to free herself.

"What the hell, Jeremy?" she yelled with frustration. "Hey, where are you taking me?"

Jeremy just continued to pull her away. His was pounding erratically the drumming beat slamming into his ears. It almost drowned Rosa’s shouts at him. Pulling her up the stairs, people were starting to stare, but he didn’t care.

She looked down at them with a nervous and almost helpless look on her face. Pleading with anyone to save her. She was still shaken up from what she watched earlier. He dragged her into his room.
