exceptionally monogamous while those with a lesser concentration tend to be… more adventurous.”
“ Such as sleeping with two men at the same time,” Lexi ground out, hating that her relationship with Cole and Dima could be made to sound so base. She wished she had slept with them – at the same damn time – just to piss Thea off if nothing else. “So, you thought it would be better to let me live in ignorance of my Siren heritage while I fucked my way through the city’s population of men. Why? Did you think I would use my allure to rape an unwilling man?”
Her mother blushed, “Of course not, Alexandra. We thought it would be better to not burden you with what it means to be a Siren if you weren’t one. If you had been sleeping with those two boys, then our concerns would have been minimal because you exhibited normal, if not a little bit more adventurous, behavior.”
“ And what does it mean to be a Siren?” Lexi’s head was spinning. “And why do my sisters know about this and I don’t?”
The three girls blushed and avoided her gaze as her mom explained, “They were informed of their gift when it was becoming apparent they were unduly influencing members of the opposite gender in their teens. We are informing you now because you seem to be a late bloomer and your bloom is extraordinary.”
The side of Lexi’s mouth quirked upwards in a half-smile at her mother’s description, “So, what difference does it make if I’m a virgin?”
Lexi had to close her eyes and count to ten as her mother and aunt exchanged another look. When her aunt spoke, she spoke slowly, “Well, it has to do with True Love.”
“ What rot,” Lexi scoffed. “Love is not foretold, or fated; it happens.”
“ For normal people,” Charisma said. "For Sirens, it is more. Fate tends to bring love into our lives....”
“ So you were all virgins when you found your True Loves, or whatever?” she asked her sisters, looking around the table and seeing the flags of color on all but Penelope’s cheeks. “Yeah, that’s what I thought.”
“ Our Siren blood isn’t as powerful as yours,” Thea sneered, glaring at Lexi with such venom. “Aggie and I could fuck a thousand guys and be fine; you’ll be lucky to fuck one.”
“ Thea!” Charisma scolded her eldest daughter. “Language.”
“ It’s ridiculous to be having this conversation in a public place where anyone could walk by our table and hear what we’re talking about.” Lexi spoke in a low voice as she slammed her hands down on the table. Leaning in, she lowered her voice even further and hissed, “It’s ridiculous to be having this conversation at all; Sirens are a myth.”
“ They’re not and the reason we are having this discussion here is because you’re less likely to freak out if other people were about,” Penelope said gently. “If we were at the house, you would have retreated to your bedroom by now.”
“ Or flown back home to your precious Dima and Cole,” Thea sneered.
Lexi turned on her oldest sister, “Are you more upset at the thought of me fucking them or the fact that I haven’t and now I’m some sort of super Siren?”
“ It’s not fair that you get any of the Siren’s allure let alone the lion’s share,” Thea seethed, glaring hotly at Lexi. “You’ve never wanted the attention and now, whenever you walk into the room, hardly anyone pays attention to the rest of us.”
Lost, Lexi looked at her mother for confirmation. Charisma sighed, “We started to notice it when you returned from your trip with the boys but we assumed it was the outfits , the persona of 'Lexi Darling.' But now, we believe otherwise.”
“ Why bring this up now?” Lexi threw her hands up in the air and shook her head that was aching with a headache that kept growing with each word spoken. “What in the world could have possibly have happened that changed your mind?”
“ You made coffee for Cassandra,” Aunt Sophie said softly.
