The Vampire's Opal Word
Fresh coffee wafted into her bedroom, awakening her through her nostrils. Rolling over, Claire glanced at her alarm clock: 8am. It was later than she usually slept in, but after last night, she thought she deserved some rest. She padded barefoot into the kitchen to see a shirtless Lex cooking some eggs with Brady watching from the living room. Lex motioned behind him to the coffeepot, not diverting his eyes from the skillet. “Coffee is fresh. Now get a cup and sit in the living room. I’m cooking this morning and I don’t want to hear anything about it.”“Yes sir. No objections from me.” Claire made her cup and sat cross-legged next to Brady on the couch. “I could get used to someone else cooking around here.” The half naked man in the kitchen captivated Brady. Claire waved a hand in front of his face. “Earth to Brady. Come in Brady.”“Oh, sorry. I just can’t believe…”Knowing all too well what Brady was thinking, Claire nodded her head. “Did we have fun last night?” She loved teasing
The Vampire's Opal Kisses and Coffee
Mal placed his phone in his jacket pocket. With a huge grin on his face, he looked at Lex. “Thank you, friend. I need to leave. Now.” As he walked past, Lex slapped him on the back. “You are very welcome. Now don’t fuck it up.” Wasting no time with formalities, Mal rushed out of his apartment to the garage with his multitude of cars. He opted for the black SUV and sped out of the garage like a bat out of hell.Within a few minutes, he was parking in front of her apartment building and running to the door. He pressed the call button for her apartment and a very male voice answered.“Hello. Unless you are a gorgeous man or have wine, we don’t want any.”“Um... It’s Malachy. Is Claire there?” He nervously glanced around. He could easily just break the lock on the door, but being gentle and practicing patience was essential. Claire was giving him a way in and taking Lex’s words to heart -he didn’t want to fuck it up. BUUZZZZZZDeciding against the elevator, he used his enhanced speed on
The Vampire's Opal What Just Happened?
What just happened?Mal sat in his car, pondering the events of the day that led to him sitting in his car. Alone. Things were going so well, great even, when suddenly Claire shut him out and almost ran away from him at her doorstep. He glanced up at the building, finding her lit bedroom window, and watched her shadow pull the curtains back, then disappear as the lights turned off.“What are you doing, Little One?” he spoke to himself. He reached for his phone and dialed her number. The dial tone echoed in the car, then went to her voicemail. “Hi! Sorry, I’ve missed your call. Please leave your number and a brief message and I’ll call you back as soon as I can. Thanks and have a great day!” He could imagine the smile in her voice, and closing his eyes, he left her a message.“Please Claire. Tell me what is going on in that beautiful mind of yours. Please…” He wasn’t a man to beg for anything from anyone, but Claire wasn’t just anyone. He loved her, and he wasn’t going to give her up

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*Claire slammed her hand on the annoying alarm clock. 7AM came way too early. She rolled back into her bed, snuggling under the comforter, when she bumped into something cool and solid. Realization hit her like a brick. Mal was here in her bed, and he stayed all night. Her head rose to look at his sleeping form, her fingers trailing up his arm and down his chest gently.“You keep doing that and there will be consequences.” Mal spoke without opening his eyes, still laying under the blanket. He slowly opened one eye to look at her as she calmly got out of the bed and walked to her desk. She sat down, opened her laptop, and started typing. Claire needed to submit her last assignments and make sure the Foundation didn’t need any help today. She planned to only stay in this room with this handsome man, nothing more.She stretched her arms above her head and spun around in her chair to face Mal. “You must be thirsty. I’m sorry. I have nothing here.” Mal sat up in th
The Vampire's Opal Down to Brass Tax
Patiently waiting in the living room, Claire and Sean watched some show called “The Big Bang Theory” when Mal stepped into the living room. With a huge smile on his face, Sean tapped the screen on his phone while Claire smiled at the tv. She silently mouthed “Quinn,” when Mal tipped his head in Sean’s direction. Smoothly, he sat next to Claire, but as soon as he did, she plopped into his lap.He held her close, kissing her shoulder, then turned his attention to the TV and whispered in her ear, “When did Sean and Quinn become an item? I thought that he and you were close. Especially when he volunteered to watch after you..” That caused Claire to cackle.“No. No. No- Besides being good friends, there is nothing between me and Sean. He only volunteered because: 1. He cares about me like a sister and 2. Quinn is his ‘mate’. If he couldn’t be around me, then he couldn’t be around her. So it was an obvious decision for him. One that I am thankful for.” She threw a pillow at Sean, breaking h

Claire had shoved her chair away from the table, and stomped towards her room, with Mal hot on her heels. “Wait a goddamn min..” She slammed the bedroom door in his face.Mal gritted his teeth and took a deep breath before entering the room. A bed pillow slapped him in the face as soon as he stepped in. He rolled his eyes at Claire’s childish antics. “Really? A pillow?”Seething in the opposite corner, Claire couldn’t hide the sarcasm and discontent dripping in her voice. “Sorry. I don’t have a wooden stake to chuck at your face.”Mal calmly tossed the pillow onto the bed before he walked to stand in front of her. He grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to look at him. “We both know a stake won’t do any harm to me. Now, care to tell me why I deserved a pillow to the face and why you stormed out of the discussion like a child?”Claire’s eyes burned in anger. “Really?! I can’t just skip out of town, Mal. There are people who depend on me; A job that I love. I can’t just leave with little
The Vampire's Opal Tomato Soup
Everyone congregated in the living room when Mal and Ramona returned. Claire’s eyes met Mal’s, and they both smiled. “The foundation gave me the ‘all clear’ to take a few days off. My boss, Robyn, was pretty excited to hear I was needing time away. So, Mal, what’s your plan exactly?” Claire expected Mal to come up with some elaborate plan, but he shocked her when he lifted her from her spot, then sat her in his lap.Her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck when he spoke. “My plan is to get you out of the city, the state, actually, and have two guards come with us. They will meet us at the safe-house and will have already scanned the area for threats. So as long as everyone agrees, we will have about a week of hiding out while I have some other Enforcers keep eyes here in Chicago.” He nodded at Lex. "It’s pretty straightforward, so hopefully we are all jumping to conclusions and you aren’t being watched by some third party waiting to attack again.”Claire bit her bottom lip, noddi
The Vampire's Opal Here We Go
“Are you really not going to tell me where you are taking me? What if I didn’t pack the right clothes or shoes?” The secrecy was driving her mad and gave her a sense of déjà vu. She didn’t like not knowing what exactly was happening. “You’re kidnapping me again, Mal.”Mal shut her car door, effectively ending their conversation for a few seconds. His eyes scoured their surroundings as cars raced by on the street. Nothing seemed out of place. However, the silver sedan that was parked out front hadn’t moved since Mal dropped Claire off from their coffee date. He hopped into the black SUV and drove further into the city. “It’s not kidnapping because you are willing in the car. But I need to make a small stop at my place before we start our road trip. So you might as well relax and just let me handle this.” Mal grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles. Claire bit her bottom lip, a habit that Mal had learned she had when she was deep in thought or feeling extremely turned on. He really h
