chapter 38
Draco POV
I spend the day getting ready for my date with Tatina tonight. I want everything to be perfect for us tonight. No auction business, no other vampires or anything intruding just Tatina and I. I want to cook for her and make love to her. I want more than anything for her to say yes she will marry me. I want her to be my partner forever.
I have purchased all of her favorite things. This would be so much easier if I let the staff prepare our meal, but she wants me to cook for her. I have not cooked for her in a long time.
I did cheat and have my cook make Tatina a cheesecake. I could not do that no matter how hard I try. The steaks and vegetables, I can grill no problem. She can have cheesecake for desert and I will have her.
What is she says no? At least she will finally give me an answer. No matter what she says tonight, I will never stop loving her. She has no idea what she has done for me.
I never thought in a mi

Tatina POVI look down at my sweet Draco kneeling before me. He has no idea how badly I want to say yes, but I am afraid. The only thing I know to do is be honest with him.I place my hand on top of his.“Draco, I want to be perfectly honest with you. I feel that we have always been honest with each other and there is no reason to stop that now,” I say to him.“That is all I want. I want an answer for a change. No matter what you say I will respect that,” Draco says.“There is no doubt in my mind that we love each other. Is that enough?” I ask him.“Of course, it is enough. I will love you until the end of time,” Draco says.“What is it that you want from me?” I ask him.“I want you to be my wife. I want you to be my partner in life. I want us to be together forever,” Draco says.“I am your partner and we will always be together. I just d
The Auction Chapter 40
Draco POVI cannot believe she finally said yes to me. I have waited so long for this moment for us. I hate that the only priest I can find is in the city. I hope if I offer him enough money he will come to a hotel outside of the city and marry us there, if not I will protect her.There isn’t a threat to her anymore. Craig is dead. I made sure of that myself. He cannot come after her. She still fears him. I understand these feelings she has of fear. I cannot say that I would not be the same way if I was in her shoes.Tatina has developed into the strongest person I have ever known. She walks into auction houses and slave houses. She destroys the idiots that hurt women. She is fearless except for the one fear she is still trying to get passed.I pack us a small bag for the night. I let her relax while I grab us a few things. We can eat when we get there. She doesn’t really want to eat my horrible cooking, it was a test to see if I
The Auction Chapter 41
Two years after THE AUCTION Renae Dufrene POV I have been looking forward to this trip all month. When Tara suggested we celebrate her divorce with a weekend in the French Quarter, I jumped on it. I have not been to New Orleans in a while. I need a few nights filled with music, booze, and dancing. Before she married Mr. Straight and fucking narrow, we would go down at least once a month. We would stay in this fabulous rental house and party like we were locals. I was so ecstatic to find out the house was available for rent this weekend. The same guy still owns it. That is a bonus. He will be something nice to look at while we are there. Tara really needs this weekend, and I fully plan to give her a good one. Maybe I can talk her into staying longer. Marrying Jake was such a mistake. I know she loved him, but damn, why him? I have every intention to make this a wild woman’s weekend. I have already sent out a massive text to everyone we know that
The Auction Jamie
Renae POVJules takes off before Tara can close the door good or finish screaming. Jules wants the hell out of here and does not want any trouble from Tara's soon to be ex-husband. Jules does not need any trouble from anyone right and we both know it. One time I am glad he is a fast driver. Tara is sweating all over my back seat. She is panicked and I cannot say I blame her the soon to be ex-husband is a psychopath.“What the hell is going on with you?” I ask her.“That fucking bastard is driving me insane! He better leave while we are gone or I might kill him when we get back!” she yells. She throws her bag on the floorboard of the back seat and lays back in a huff.Jules keeps his eyes on the road trying to put distance between us and the house. If Jake starts a fight with him over Tara, it could get ugly fast. Jules is calm and non- confrontational. He knows his temper and tries to keep i
The Auction I Miss You
Renae POVI don't say anything about the passenger in Lester's car. I just keep looking at Tara and try not to make eye contact with him no matter how much I want to. I would love to reach over slap Jamie and ask him what the hell he is doing with Lester, but it is probably better if I keep my hands to myself and my opinion. Lester instructs the driver to the nearest bar. I need a drink, and I needed it the moment he stepped behind me and said Hello. Nobody wants to see their ex on their vacation. NOBODY!. Tara looks like she needs a drink or four. . What the hell is Jamie doing with my ex-husband? I know, damn I know exactly why they are together and there is no need in pretending or trying to figure it all out in my head."I can read your thoughts and so can everyone in this car. Well, except for your friend over there," Lester says as he reaches for my hand. I let him touch the top of my hand for a moment.I jerk my hand back as I
The Auction Lester
Lester POVI leave the bar leaving my beautiful wife behind to keep investigating her friend. I cannot take this much longer, being away from her is killing me slowly. As a vampire, being without my mate is going to cause me to die prematurely. We need to find a way to end this soon, no matter how we have to end it. I hated to send her away, but she was the only one that could do this. We, the few council members who know we are still married, thought this was the perfect cover. When the decision was made to send in my wife to uncover Jules' atrocities, it broke my heart into a thousand pieces. She, on the other hand, took the mission like a chance to prove herself. She wants the authority to see her differently and to know that she is worthy of being with me. It is not her that needs to prove anything. I will never feel like I deserve her or her love. She has always been loyal to the authority and should not have to do this for them to honor our marria
The Auction Just a little drama among vampires
Jules POVI go into the city looking for Jamie. Frenchman was not much help at all, or maybe he just not want to help me. I have a feeling he is working with Lester. I know he is hiding something from me, but I am not sure what just yet. He has not been the same to me since I was thrown out of the authority years ago. I could care less what he thinks or anyone else in the authority, but I need to find Jamie. I only need to find Jamie before he decides to start talking about things he knows nothing about. The little bastard better keep his mouth shut. He does not want me to shut it for him. I have to find him first.I spot Renae and Tara in a bar on Royale. They are coming out with a drink in each hand. I need Renae to help me. Hell, Lester will never help me. Lester will hang me. I know he has Jamie and I know Renae is helping him. So, why in the hell would she or Lester help me?"Where are you two headed with both all that liquor?" I ask
The Auction New Orleans
Tatina and I arrive in the French Quarter, which she once loved, but now is overshadowed by bad memories. Maybe I can help her make new memories. Memoires of the night we were married, not memories of Craig and the things he did to her. We were closer than I let on to Lester; it is none of his business where we are, and I really do not want him to know that we are already here in Louisana. Lester called right as Tatina said I do, perfect timing. It makes me wonder if he knew we were here, which is another reason I did not tell him where we are precisely. So much for my promise to keep her out of New Orleans. I feel like I lied to her, and that is the last thing I want to do. I don't want him knowing our whereabouts these days. We have tried to keep our profile as low as possible since we started busting up the auctions. Plus, I still have to worry about Dominque. I never did get that bastard after he arrested me and took everything I worked so hard for;
