Zeke sat down on the couch opposite of Victoria. Zoe sat down and leaned on him. Victoria kept looking back and forth between the two before she finally spoke, “So, when did this happen?” She gestured towards the two leaning against each other, “Last I knew you didn’t want to date a man so soon after Spud.” Zoe sighed, “That is what I said, but things change unexpectedly all the time. I didn’t expect Zeke to come into my life like a knight in shining armor.”

She smiled at Zeke and gave him a doe eyed look. Zeke smiled, “I didn’t take you for such a romantic.” The doe eyed look turned mischievous and she laughed, “I’m not. Fuck most of that romantic kiss in the rain and shit.” She basically purred the next part, “I’m more of a ‘fuck me like you own me’ kind of romanticist.” Zeke swallowed audibly and looked back towards Victoria, “So tell me, what are we going to do now?”

Victoria thought about it for a minute, “I guess we have to share a girlfriend now.” She shrugged before glaring at him, “I will say this though. Don’t get any funny ideas about a threesome or some shit so soon. I don’t just jump someone I just met.” Zeke laughed, “Don’t worry. Although the idea is hot as hell, I wouldn’t make either of you do anything you're not comfortable with.”

Victoria looked him up and down before she nodded her head, “Good. I won’t have to cut your dick off at any time then.” Zoe gasped, “Victoria! I haven’t even got to test it out yet!” That got all three of them laughing and made the mood a little less awkward. They talked about a few things like why Zoe’s dad’s car was outside and where he was. The topics varied quite a bit from their majors to their number. Zeke had the lowest number count which surprised the girls when he said it.

He spoke quietly, “One.” Victoria and Zoe stared at him intently before Victoria spoke up, “No way. There is no way you have only slept with one person.” Zeke shrugged, “You can choose to believe me or not, but what reason do I have to lie?” Zoe spoke up, “To not let us know that you’re a man hoe or something.” Zeke laughed, “If that was the case, I would have said three or four, not one.” She nodded in agreement before Zeke continued, “There was an older woman who I liked when I was younger. She showed me the joys of a woman’s body multiple times over a couple of years. I honestly thought I was in love at that time. I even said so and she returned my feelings.”

His gaze darkened, “That was until I found out the truth. She didn’t love me. She was sleeping with my dad the whole time. He was the one she was in love with and I just happened to be the spitting image of my father so she got a thrill out of fucking a younger version of him.” His gaze turned to normal as he sighed, “I didn’t want anything to do with any women after that. My half-sister was the only woman that I let into my life, until she was taken from me as well.”

An uncomfortable aura filled the room that only Victoria noticed and it caused her to pale in fear. She gazed at Zeke in utter terror as her mind raced, “I have felt this before. My dad called it someone’s killing intent. He said that if you were able to sense this feeling you could possible save your life or the life of someone else. He told me that the aura does nothing, but give off a strange feeling like that of being choked. It was suffocating when someone with a huge killing intent released it into the room. If you are not trained in feeling it then you would never notice it, even if it was directed straight at you. He showed me his killing intent at maximum that day and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Zeke’s is different though. It literally feels like there are a pair of hands on my throat and I can’t do anything about it. It feels like he could just think it and the hands around my neck would contract and choke me to death.”

Victoria tried to squeeze herself into the couch as much as possible before the feeling disappeared and she looked up to see Zeke smiling at her. He continued to speak to them, “I had a fiancé a few months after that and I wasn’t too happy about it. Our parents where old school and decided to arrange it so as to bring our two families closer together.” Zeke laughed before continuing, “It was nothing but a ruse. My father just wanted me to be with her so he could use her to his advantage. Information, property, connections, you name it.” Zeke shook his head and thought, “Why the fuck am I spilling all of this information out? I’m acting like a fucking kid that is letting his emotions get the better of him.”

Zoe asked the question that was plaguing Victoria’s mind at the moment, “So where are you and your family from? Have you cut ties with your father and mother after all of that?” Zeke snorted, “Something like that. I won’t ever have to deal with them again.” Zeke thought to himself, “Stephanie can finally rest in peace now too.” Victoria squinted her eyes at Zeke, “So what happened did they cut ties with you or the other way around?”

Zeke glared at her, “I cut ties with them. They committed and unforgivable act and I had to leave.” Victoria was starting to grow suspicious, “A lot of things are starting to add up, but I can’t be one hundred percent sure I’m right without more information. I kind of hope I am right though.” Zeke stood up, “Well it’s time for us to try and make at least one of our classes.” Zoe had other ideas, “Zeke, how old are you?” He told her his age and she sighed, “You need to talk about this baby. Your only eighteen and you already are dealing with more than most adults my age would have to deal with.”

He sighed, “I don’t want to talk about it anymore. It’s a part of my life that is over with. It doesn’t bother me anymore.” Zoe put her foot down, “Ezekiel Mors, we are going to talk about this even if it takes us all night.” Zeke looked at her in a chagrined manner, “You’re lucky I like you a lot and you're so beautiful.” He sat back down on the couch and crossed his arms in a pout. Zoe laughed and sat down beside him again. He looked at her, “So what do you want to know?”

At an elaborate mansion on the east coast in New Maldina, the state formerly known as New York, a heavyset man was sitting in an oversized recliner looking out a giant window. He was on the fifty-fifth story of a building with the words “Pheonix Enterprises” slapped, in gaudy lettering, on the side. A small sphere beside the man buzzed and the man waved his hand. A hologram of a young woman appeared standing in front of him. The woman bowed, “My apologies Lord Pheonix, but we have some information regarding a new person that your daughter has encountered.”

The man sighed, “Who has my daughter decided to try and slip by me now?” The young woman pulled a file off of a desk behind her and opened it up, “We did a whole lot of digging and found that the young man is named Ezekiel Mors. He is eighteen years old and just enrolled University of Zeon. He is a Culinary Major and lives off campus.” Lord Pheonix raised an eyebrow, “And?” The woman swallowed, “Unfortunately, that’s all we were able to find sir. We have found his birth certificate and found that both of his parents died a few years ago, but other than that. We can’t find anything about him in any system. It’s like he was born and then went off the grid for almost two decades. His parents lived normal enough lives, but we couldn’t find any other connection to him other than the birth certificate.”

The young woman braced herself for the anger that was about to be unleased upon her, but she was surprised when none came. Instead she noticed that Lord Pheonix was deep in thought. He finally acknowledged that she was still there after almost thirty minutes. He looked at her, “Samantha Sirenta, I want you to go to the man. I want you to find out everything you can about him. Get as close to him as you have to, fuck him if you must, but I want to know who this new man in my daughter's life is. Even if they aren’t dating or anything.”

Samantha bowed, “As you wish Lord Pheonix.” The call cut off and Lord Pheonix leaned forward in his chair, “I hope I’m wrong about who I think he is. He may be the perfect assassin, but his youth has blinded him to a few aspects that would make him into a powerful leader. If he was older with far more experience under his belt he may have thought to change his first name as well. It honestly doesn’t take a genius to put two and two together.” He stood up and walked towards the window to get a better view of downtown New Maldina City. He sighed again, “I hope I am wrong, but if I’m not then I will have to go and meet my future son-in-law.” He stared off in the distance towards the City of Archangel, “Where have you been for the past year, Ezekiel Morningstar?”

There was a shuffling sound followed by a pair of strong arms wrapping around him, “Come back to bed babe.” Lord Pheonix turned around in the owner of the voices arms and came face to face with a handsome young man. Lord Pheonix smiled, “Is that what my big strong tiger wants?” The young mand growled, “Oh more than anything babe.” Lord Pheonix felt something on his stomach as he looked down, he saw the young man's massive tool pressing up against his stomach just a bit below his own belly button. Lord Pheonix was filled with lust as he let the young man guide him to bed and push him down. He looked into the young man’s eyes, “Ravage me you beast.”

Samantha Sirenta had just hung up with her boss Nathaniel Pheonix. Unofficially the most powerful man in the underworld. He has tasked her with her first mission in almost two years. She was worried when he asked her to be his personal secretary two years ago, thoughts of what most rich and wealthy CEOs do with their young nubile secretaries were constantly flying through her head at that time. She was relieved to discover that those thoughts were never going to come to pass. It turned out that after Lord Pheonix’s wife was murdered he swore he would never love another woman. There had been countless women in and out after that, but suddenly the women stopped and an influx of young handsome men starting going in and out instead.

Samantha was enamored with some of the men but she knew that none of them were possible. They were all here for Lord Pheonix and a few even stayed with him. Those that were lucky became a part of the Lord’s growing harem. He had at least a dozen young handsome men at his beck and call. The reason for the sudden stop in the flow of women and the sudden influx of men where unknown to all except for Lord Pheonix’s personal bodyguards, who were also a part of the harem.

Samantha sighed as she heard the sounds of skin smashing together in the office behind her desk. She called her back-up and informed her of her mission. A few minutes later, Samantha was finally allowed to leave and pack for the mission. A few hours later, she was dressed in her normal clothes and standing in line to board a plane to Archangel, Oklahoma. She was drawing quite a lot of attention as she stood in line. She stood at five foot nine inches, with her three-inch heels on, and the heels helped to define her already rounded derriere. Her bust was a little above average for her size, sitting at a modest DD.

She had no makeup on, besides the green colored lipstick that complimented her hazel colored eyes. Green and black seemed to be her theme as she wore a green colored tank top that was stretched tightly around her chest. She wore a black mini-skirt with a green stripe, matching her tank top, down both sides. Her heels matched the skirt and where opened at the toe, showing her green painted toe-nails. One would probably say that it was a bit much on the green, but she somehow managed to turn a lot of heads for reasons other than that.

She boarded her flight, after shooing off multiply guys that thought they could get her number, and settled in for the hours that she would be on the plane. She was in her own seat in first class so she pulled out a folder containing information on her surveillance target. Looking over the file she wondered about the missing year in the young man’s file. To most a year may seem short but with the right amount of motivation and willpower, countries can be toppled in less time. She looked out the window as the plane began to take off lost in thought about the mission ahead. She was excited yet a little nervous at the same time. She didn’t want to fuck this up, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t really going to go as anyone planned.

Zeke sat back on the couch as he got done answering the girl’s questions. He tried to leave out as much information, that they didn’t need to know, as possible. Both girls seemed satisfied, but Victoria keep glancing at him and when she saw that he noticed she would blush and look away from him quickly. This confused him, but he didn’t really care. He was happy that the interrogation was over with and they might be able to move on a bit.

A few minutes later and he was broken from his thoughts by Victoria, “Zeke, can I talk to you a minute?” He looked up and saw that she was walking towards Zoe’s bedroom. He got up and followed her in and when he arrived, she shut the door behind him. Zeke was starting to get a little suspicious at the way she was acting but all of that was thrown out the window when she spoke to him, “Are you Ezekiel Morningstar?”

His suspicion turned into alarm as he quickly grabbed her and wrapped his hand around her throat. He glared at her, “Who sent you? How do they know I’m alive? What do you want from me?” Her eyes where wide at the absurd amount of strength in his arm. She was a pretty thick girl, in all the right places, but he was holding her a good foot off the ground with one arm. She quickly tried to shake her head as she spoke, to the best of her ability at the moment, “No one sent me I swear! My father told me about you, he spoke highly of your skill. He said you were one of the best assassins to come from any of the families in generations.”

He was still glaring at her, “What do you want from me?” He was insulting himself in his mind while they spoke, “Why the fuck did I just instantly assume she knew when she asked who I was? Hell, she could have been baiting me and I fucking fell right for it. Sometimes I wish that man would have spent less time on women and teaching me to kill, to spend a little bit more time on my social skills. It’s not really an excuse but it could have helped a bit. Maybe it has something to do with Zoe? Maybe it’s just girls, that aren’t a target, in general? I always have had a soft spot for the fairer sex. Especially when they are interested in me. Of course, I only have one so-called experience in that aspect. I don’t know, this all confuses and irritates me.”

Victoria looked lovingly down at him and it confused him to no end. She smiled before speaking, “I don’t want anything, but I do want to give myself to you.” This startled him enough that his gripped loosened and he accidently dropped her. She fell to the ground and sat against the wall. She looked up at him and he stared at her in utter confusion, “Why? I don’t even know you. Hell, you don’t even know me!” She smiled at him again as she stood up, “I know more about you than you think. I was given a file on you a few years ago. It was given to my father by your father. It only stated the basics, but I know enough.”

She stepped forward and put her hand on his chest as her breasts pushed up against him. She smiled at him, “You are Ezekiel Morningstar, now known as Ezekiel Mors I guess, and you are the fiancé of I, Victoria Pheonix, only daughter to the head of the Pheonix Family, Nathanial Pheonix.” All thought process stopped in Zeke’s mind. When he finally rebooted his thoughts were racing a mile a second, “My fiancé? I was engaged to her? I wasn’t told anything about the engagement other than it was going to happen. Do I just try and trust her and go with this? I mean, she is beautiful and she is dating my girlfriend. Wait, wouldn’t that make them both my girlfriends or do I have to break up with Zoe now?”

She seemed to understand what he was thinking, “Don’t worry. I won’t make you break up with Zoe. Besides, you got a family you got to get started and you will need all the girls you can get to quickly build it. The Mors Family will take the world by storm and someday you will take back your family’s rightful place at the top.” She traced her finger along one of his muscles that was visible through his shirt, “Hopefully that includes the Pheonix Family as an ally.”

He looked down at her, “You would be okay with me sleeping with other girls?” She nodded, “Yup.” He frowned, “I guess it would only be fair that I give you the same freedom.” He didn’t like that thought at all. She giggled, “Thank you, but I’m good. Just let me have some fun with the girls and I will be happy with one man in my life.” He grinned, “Deal. Now we just have to see how Zoe feels about it.” Victoria laughed, “Oh I think she will be ecstatic.”

They left the room and saw Zoe pacing back and forth. She saw them and quickly began a torrent of questions, “What happened, I heard a thump? Did he take you forcibly? Are you okay? What’s going on? Why isn’t nobody talking? Why are you two holding hands? Hello?” The questions just kept coming rapid fire. Zeke had to stop her from talking by giving her a deep kiss. She melted into the kiss and when they came up for air she was panting.

He smiled at her, “One question at a time babe.” She nodded and looked at Zeke, “So what was that thump?” Victoria hooked at thumb at Zeke, “He pinned me up against the wall.” Zoe’s eyes widened and Zeke thought she was about to lash out at him, but he was astonished when she started to rub her legs together. She was panting even more now, “Oh lord, did he take you? Was it fast and beastly? How big is he? Why didn’t I hear you yelling?” Zeke was incredulous, she was asking those questions like she wasn’t in his arms right now.

Victoria laughed, “No he didn’t take me, though I wouldn’t have stopped him.” Zeke snorted, “So much for not sleeping with someone you just met.” he thought. Zoe looked up at Zeke, “Why did you pin her to the wall if you weren't going to take her?” Zeke looked down at her, “Because I’m not dating her and I would be cheating on you if I did.” Zoe snorted, “Please, if you want to take Victoria, or any other women for that matter, do it. I only have two conditions. One, I want to be able to watch or join in if I want to and two, I get to be able to have fun with any of your girls as well.”

Zeke was stunned, this wasn’t normal girl thinking at all from what he knew. Victoria saw the shock and confusion on his face so she laughed and walked over to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. After a few minutes she stopped and whispered in his ear, “Zoe has a fetish that hasn’t really been able to be fulfilled recently.” She paused and let that sink in for a second before speaking again, “Zoe likes to see her man take other women in front of her. She likes to see him dominate people, show them how much of an alpha he actually is. I wouldn’t let spud touch me and for some reason he wouldn’t do any other woman that Zoe brought to him.”

Zeke scoffed at this, “Are you sure he isn’t gay? I mean, what kind of man would pass up sleeping with not only his girlfriend, but other girls she brought around? Especially if the girlfriend was basically giving her to him with no consequences.” Victoria laughed, “We actually were beginning to wonder that ourselves. Zoe would always tell me that Spud was hesitant to touch her, let alone kiss her. He was always hanging out and staying the night with his band buddies as well.” Zeke shrugged, “To each their own. I have nothing against gay people, but I don’t like it when they use a woman as a cover against her knowledge.” They both nodded their heads in agreement with him.

He looked at them both, “So I guess that makes our twosome a threesome? The two girls laughed and Victoria spoke up, “I believe that this is just the beginning of your harem, husband.” Zeke cocked an eyebrow at her, “Husband?” Victoria laughed, “It’s funny how that word is what you commented on and not the harem.” He shrugged his shoulders, “If you girls want to start me a harem then who am I to complain. As for the husband comment, it doesn’t really bother me either. I just wasn’t expecting it is all.”

Victoria leaned in to where her generous chest was wrapped around his arm, “That’s what you are, or at least what you will be. You are my husband regardless of some little dumb piece of paper. That’s nothing but the government finding some way to weasel their way into love just like they weasel their way into everything else.” Zeke laughed and then gave them both a passionate kiss. He sighed, “I honestly don’t know how to feel about all of this right now, but I do know that I’m not going to complain one bit.” Victoria laughed and leaned into his chest as she thought, “Soon the world will see the return of the Devil’s Shadow and it will be glorious.”
