Mikhail raised his hands in mock surrender. “It wasn’t me…”
“Kat!? What the hell?” Ruben asked, accusatory. “Why would you touch him?”
“I was trying to…I meant to kick his sorry ass!” Kat was shaking her head trying to clear the fog that had descended in it. Her mouth was dry and her thoughts were full of Mikhail and his smouldering amber eyes, the feel of his chest under her fingers. “What the hell just happened to me?” Kat looked up at Mikhail.
He was standing with his arms folded grinning smugly at her. He tilted his head slightly as their eyes met.
Why did she suddenly feel giddy looking at him, he was so damn fine…no…what?
“Damn it, Kat! I told you to keep away from him!” Ruben growled, frustrated as he took her by the shoulders roughly making her look at him.
“I was trying to hurt him…he was pissing me off

Kat knocked on the door. “Ruben…now is not the time to sulk in the bathroom.”“I think it is…” He leant his head back against the door, resting his forearms on his knees as he sighed.“I have questions…” Kat’s voice sounded irritated.“Like?” Ruben asked, faintly amused.“Oh? We doing this through the door?” Kat’s sarcasm was clear to his ears.“For now.” He chuckled, there was something infinitely attractive about her feisty attitude.“Mature…” She sneered. “Ruben…will I still be attracted to him after…?”Kat heard Ruben’s menacing growl through the door. “Yes, if you look at him.”“Huh…” She pondered.“What?” He growled deeper.“It’s weird…” She murmured half to herself.“Weird?

The next day noted the fourth day Kat was with Ruben in his mansion and still no sign of Scott showing up to claim her back. It also meant that today was the day the warlocks were due to do the ritual to summon Lord Basille.Kat had slept late as Ruben had ‘gone to work’ in his office. She had mentioned the fact that he never seemed to leave the mansion for meetings or other work related things, he had surprised her when he had confessed that was because he had put all his meetings on hold to stay with and protect her, but that did mean a lot of time on his laptop and his phone talking and emailing.After she finally rose late afternoon, she had gone to find him in his office, sitting quietly in the corner on the couch as he continued to work, the two of them just content to have the other nearby.“I’m hungry.” Kat said as she got up from her chair, stretching.“Christ…do you ever stop eating?” Ruben asked.

“I tried to warn you…” Kat huffed. “But we did learn one thing…” Kat sat down in the chair beside Ruben, placing her hands under her legs, swinging her legs back and forth.“What’s that?” Ruben looked at her amused by her child like behaviour.“We just need to fulfil Scott’s contract to end his hold over me…of course it was so simple.”“What’s simple…we don’t know the fulfilment details…”“I do.” Kat grinned.Ruben’s eyes widened. “You do?”“Of course…I’m a part of that contract…I feel a bit stupid I didn’t actually realise it myself.” She tucked her hair behind one ear, awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed.“Realise what exactly…Bastetia?” Ruben said smartly, intoning her name in a sultry manner.Kat’s eyes clouded

As Kat stormed into the office the next day Ruben grinned amused at her as he continued to look at the papers in front of him. He had been waiting for this all morning.“What the hell, Ruben?” Kat stood defiantly with her hands on her hips just in the doorway after slamming the door shut behind her.Ruben looked up from his paperwork and leaned casually back into his chair. “Kat, nice to see you finally got out of bed.”“Don’t give me that nicey nice bullshit, Ruben, what game are you playing?”“Game, baby girl?”“Where the hell has all my pants and underwear gone?”Ruben gave her a dark smouldering look as he looked her over slowly, making her burn under that gaze. She was wearing a black form fitting dress with no sleeves that came to a respectful just-over-the-knee length with a small split in the back. He liked it, it looked really smart on her, made her look like a rich b

Ruben had left Kat well sated and with Lucinda, unpacking clothes. Smiling and eating popcorn and snacks…always eating…Earlier the night before he had given Lucinda his card and told her to go shopping for Kat, everything she needed. She had squealed in delight but then pouted when he told her Kat couldn’t go with her it was too risky to allow her to leave the mansion with Scott still not located, but she had done a fantastic job and when she had entered his rooms with an entourage of people carrying bags he wondered if he was now a broke pauper. He had fully intended all along to give Kat her underwear back and now she had lots of new sets. He looked forward to seeing her wear them….Now they were sitting on the bed as Lucinda showed Kat what she had purchased.“It’s all too much…” Kat said as she blushed modestly.“No it’s not.” Lucinda brushed it off to the fact that Ruben c

“Hey Kat, since the weather is getting warmer and it’s a lovely day do you want to go for a swim in the pool.” Ruben had thought about how they could spend the day together making her get up before midday to an intimate breakfast on the balcony overlooking the pool.“Oh…ah…okay…” Kat looked down at the pool dubiously.“What’s the problem? Cat’s don’t swim?” He grinned as she flashed him a dark look.“Exactly, I don’t swim.” She snarked back.“Well, it’s not like it’s that deep…” He chuckled.“Okay…I think Lucinda bought me a swim suit during her shopping spree the other night…”Ruben laughed. “She spoils you…”“You spoil me, I know it’s your money.”Ruben shrugged and smiled that smile at her as she went into the wardrobe wh

Not even five minutes later Ruben was banging on the door.“Katarina! Open this fucking door right now!”Ruben saw a piece of paper slide out under the door.He picked it up.“That’s all the information I have.” Kat said from the other side of the door. “The address of the drug dealer, the location of one potential bomb threat and I’m sorry but he did speak of another possible bomb site but never really decided on one while I was there, you’ll have to ask him when you manage to find him.”Ruben read it and handed it to Vlad next to him. His jaw clenched. “Kat, open the door.”“No way…”“Kat!” Ruben growled, his hands pressed on the door.“I’m packing a bag, don’t worry I’ll be out of your hair soon.” She shouted.To Ruben it sounded like she was well away from the door, possibly in the dressing r

Ruben gathered the vampires together for a war conclave…explaining to them all the situation, giving them the information he had received from Kat and planning out their next steps. He had a sneaky suspicion Kat would wait till evening before attacking, so he knew he had a little time on his side.“First things first we need to secure Mr McGowen so he’s out of the way for whatever Kat is doing out there…” Ruben was talking to Aiden, Vlad and a couple of lesser Vampire Lords from his clan.“I believe she intends to go after Scott’s gang while he’s not there.” Vlad input.“Okay, makes sense she knows she can kill them if he’s not there to interfere and order her not to with the manipulation of the collar…she’ll probably find out the locations of the intended bomb attacks and then head there, so if we can get Scott we can get that information out of him and possibly head her off.&rdquo
