Papers cluttered my desk, organized disaster as Zak called it. Not that it was anything new in my life; it has always been an Organized Disaster. I stared at the contract that Theo had signed and smirked; finally I had that company off my payroll and was able to focus on more important disasters. The check he had signed for $800 million sat on the stack of checks I still needed to deposit. The company was worth another $800 million but I took half for the sex…not that it was really all that good. It was a good reminder why I stayed away from human males for anything other than blood and business.

The door to my office slammed open and a very pissed off Michael stormed across the room. Raising my hand, I looked back at the contract I was reading over; having already set aside the one for Theo. Michael slowed but didn’t stop so I snapped my hand and sent him flying into the couch.

Sit there for a few minutes so I can finish deciding if I want to bother with this deal.

Will it involve you fucking around?”

I took half the cost of the company for the sex. Not that it was any good, maybe for him but I’m really not impressed. Human males are pretty dull and not nearly strong enough.

My eyes looked over at him, humor in my eyes and Michael turned away, fighting back a smirk.

Should I take this? The upside is another $900 million every two weeks…only downside is that it’s a holiday company…not just Thanksgiving and Christmas but every holiday known to man. This is one diverse company…SEBASTIAN!

The door opened again and the man walked in, his normal black jacket nowhere in sight and his hair disheveled.

What happened to you?

“Zak is trying to get the Christmas decorations out from the attic and basement. He’s not the most graceful vampire.”

A loud bang and a muffled 'I’m Alright!’ caused us to look up at the ceiling. I shook my head and handed the taller man the contract.

Let Zak decide what he wants to do with that company. It’s something he would be more interested in.

It will be done, Sebastian looked over his should at Michael, his red eyes flashing slightly, Shall I bring tea?

No. Just make sure Zak doesn’t fall through the floor like he did last year.

Sebastian nodded and left as I leaned back, my neck cracking and a groan escaping my lips.

This will never get easier.

Michael was silent and I looked back at him for a minute before standing and walking over to him. I sat on the table across from him, my hands resting on his knees.

I wasn’t lying to do when said I went to finish a business deal with Theo.

You forgot to mention you fucked him.

I sighed and gripped his thigh slightly, Yes, I did fuck him. It’s also insuring that I can get another favor from him should the time arise. Just as he will also have another favor from me should something come into his playing field that he cannot control. Sex is just sex, it was nothing and it will never become anything.

Micah-

Where am I?

Here?

Who am I with?

Me?

I smiled softly and stood, my hands sliding up his thighs and stopping midway,
Where will I be tonight?

You will be with me?

I leaned in and brushed my lips against his cheek before I nipped his ear softly,
Who am I supposed to be marrying come Christmas Eve?

Me?

I heard his voice crack softly and he shook a little under my hands, making me smile softly.

Exactly, so why are we going to have a fight that isn’t needed. You can listen to that crétin or follow your own heart. If you don’t want to stay with me and help me with the children who are tearing apart the kitchen, then you can take your ring and leave. I won’t keep you from seeing the children but I would want you to be a father first and foremost. We’ve both dealt with a lot of shit from each other, some worse than this. You forgave me for attacking Isaiah…this is what will break us?

I pulled away and sat back on the coffee table, my golden eyes searching his hazel ones.
