Alice was still healing, the knife wound had been deep and pretty serious, Joseph could of used magic to speed up the healing on her, but….well they were still getting to know each other, there was no way she was ready to learn about there non human sides yet, they didn’t want to scare her off, they wanted to draw her in and learn all there was to know about her before sharing there more…..beastly sides.
They still didn’t know her whole story of why she was attacked, just that she was and who had done it, but she seemed nervous about sharing more, they didn’t want to pry, but one of there many nights eating dinner together Robert asked why and her answer had surprised them alittle.
She was afraid of them getting hurt if they knew to much and she didn’t want to see them hurt, she cared too much to see anything happen to them. Joseph remembers the blush on her cheeks at the end of that sentence and the light teasing they gave her, but she took it good naturedly.

Alice was…..falling in love. She knew it in her bones, she knew it in her heart and she hated the timing of it all. She knew she had a habit of falling hard fast, she was a passionate woman when it came to many things. She was holding herself back knowing it had only been alittle over a month since she met the two of this house.
But she knew in her heart of hearts she was falling for them and all parts of them, not just the parts they were showing her. They all had there secrets, one of hers was being able to read people on a more basic level. She could smell Robert was a werewolf and Joseph a demon from day one of waking up. She held back saying anything thus far sensing it wasn’t something they wanted to share yet, but oh how she wanted to tell them she already knew and it was no issue for her.
She had been around super naturals most of her life and was more at home around them then humans, who she found to be….not to her liking most of the time. However even with the secrets in place ‘for now’ she smiled softly to herself as she got dressed. She wanted to stay once she got better in town and continue to learn about them and hopefully date them and see where it went. Going slow wasn’t always easy for her, but for them she would do it.
______________________________________
Living in the moment meant they didn’t take things so slow anymore, they used to once upon a time, but now if they wanted something, they wanted it and pretty quickly, but in this case they couldn’t rush it….whatever this thing was growing between all three of them. At least it was known they all cared for each other in the same way. That was a easy enough talk, Alice was very straightforward with things when she wanted to be.
She also had a fire in her, they could see it sometimes if they argued over something. Oh how her green eyes practically glowed when she was stating her side of something with a passion that they just wanted to hold and devour. She was soft, yet fierce, kind, yet took no shit. She was perfect and it was all Joseph and Robert could do not to jump her everytime they looked at her. Just meant when they fucked each other later in bed, it was more intense, just the thought of her in bed with them as they ravished her had them coming harder then they had in awhile.
Not to say on the nights Joseph hog tied Robert in bed and fucked the shit out of him, he wasn’t being brought to a wonderfully harsh orgasm, but they knew when she joined them in bed it would be that much sweeter, to have love from more than one person like this was….everything they never knew they wanted….or needed.

“Please?” She pleaded, going for sweet first, nearly batting her eyelashes.
Joseph is giving her a very much not amused face. Robert out for the evening with his daughter, leaving just the two of them alone for once.
“Honey it isn’t safe and your still healing, what if someone sees you?” He tries again.
She frowns thinking it over. “Fine, i’ll go by myself.” She starts walking off abit slowly due to her side still sore as hell and the stitches still in place.
Joseph follows after her sighing, “Does what I said not make since?”
She slowly stops walking and her shoulders droop, “No…”
Joseph comes up behind her and places both his hands on each of her shoulders kneading the tense muscles there. When she leans back against him, he feels her body slowly relax under his hands and by then he is wrapping his arms around her chest and kissing the back of her head.
“I...might have a way to get us there..” He whispers.

Alice was practically skipping down the tunnels underground as they made there way to the only bar in Maple Bay. He was surprised she wasn’t asking any questions, like why Joseph knew of this tunnel or how he knew where it lead. She was just thankful to get out of the house for a bit it seemed, he wasn’t going to complain. When him and Robert were ready to share all of their secrets with her, they wanted to do it together.
By the time they exit the tunnel and enter through the backdoor of the bar, the place is dark and silent, but that’s ok, Joseph owning the bar meant he could do whatever he wanted. Locking the door behind them he flicks on a few lights and moves behind the bar as Alice sits down on a bar stool, looking tired from the long walk.
Joseph goes to say something on it and Alice silences him with a look, rolling his eyes fondly, he starts mixing his drink of choice letting her decide what she wants.
She starts laughing softly, “Is that all you drink?”
Joseph brings the perfectly made margarita to his lips and takes a long drink from the cold glass. “Best drink there is.”
She smiles watching him enjoy his drink for a moment, “Hmmmm whiskey on the rocks for me if you please.” She asked sweetly.
He places his glass down on the bar top and starts mixing her drink together, “You and Robert with your whiskey.” He says fondly smiling at her.
Alice playfully sticks her tongue out at him, making Joseph laugh handing her, her drink. They clink their glasses together and start sharing stories.
