The screeching tires, blaring horns, and voices of pedestrians on the streets below faded away. The small rooftop terrace suddenly wasn’t open enough. She needed the space to keep her courage and her thoughts straight.

She stood from his embrace, pacing. Her hands rubbing the back of her neck, trying to relieve the tension that suddenly throbbed. Gathering her courage, she turned to face a now standing Malachy. “I may have taken a page from your book…”

“What do you mean, ‘a page from my book’? What is going on, Claire?” He took a step towards her, which she answered with a step back. His outstretched hand fell to his side in defeat.

With her arms wrapped around herself, the cool lake air whipped her hair around her face, which she quickly tucked behind her ears. “Do you remember that day in the mountains when Marian made us go on that ridiculous shopping trip in town and I left the last store before everyone else?”

Hesitantly, she glanced up to see Mal standing as still as concrete, w

  • The Vampire's Opal   "There's Something I Need to Tell You..."

    No more rogues. No more threats. No more... Anything really. After their small talk and the rogue capture, life was peaceful. The last few weeks had been uneventful. Claire spent her nights and early mornings at Mal’s place while working at The Foundation during the day. Marian and Jack were still taking turns with Sean and Lex patrolling and playing security, but Claire was used to it now.She really needed just a night or two in her own place. Even though Mal’s apartment was immaculate and spacious, she really missed her own bed and the coziness of her tiny apartment.“So I was thinking, if we don’t find anything at this bridal shop, then I’m just going to order something online and call it a day. What do you think?” Marian interrupted Claire’s thoughts. “Sorry.I spaced. What are we ordering online?” Claire grabbed her purse, her hand on the door handle of the car, when Marian placed a hand on her shoulder.“My DRESS. Are you ok, chickie? I know that this wedding stuff can seem ki

  • The Vampire's Opal   Stuck With Me

    The rogue tilted her head to the side and spit out a mouthful of blood and a few teeth. “He’s going to kill me and you anyway...so what do I have to lose? Sloane would love to see your face right now. What do you think he’d say, knowing you are harboring a human and working as the ‘vampire king’?” She spoke those last few words vehemently, sarcasm dripping with each syllable. Mal’s eyes widened in surprise as he took a few stumbling locks backwards. “You’re a liar. Sloane isn’t- he can’t be…” His face changed from shock to anger. “You ARE LYING!!” His eyes turned red as he raised a hand to strike. Jack quickly blocked Mal’s hand with his own, clutching it. “Mal! Think about this!!” He pleaded. “If she dies, then Sloane gets away and we don’t have any way of knowing his next move. Clean yourself up and get out of here. This trash isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon.” His fangs elongated and eyes turned red, cementing his point. “I’ll make sure of THAT.” Jack was just as upset that Cla

  • The Vampire's Opal   "What. Did. You. Say?"

    The day had been one for the books.Between cleaning up emails, mailing sponsors, corralling the kids, and Lex picking her up early, Claire’s mind couldn’t shut off.The subtle “ding” of Mal's door opening brought her back to the present. Green eyes met red ones. She rushed into the foyer, arms instinctively wrapping around his waist as Mal pulled her close. “What is going on?” She glanced up just in time to see his crimson eyes transform back to their gorgeous brown, with hints of amber in them.”Your eyes. Are they changing color? Sorry…” she shook her head. “I’m not changing the subject intentionally.”Mal gave her a tinder sweet kiss. “You’re fine and safe. We had a bit of an issue earlier. Don’t worry. Everyone is safe and accounted for. I just needed to make sure you were back here safe and sound. Come on. Tell me a bit about your day.” He ushered her to the living room while grabbing her bag from her shoulder. “Wow. I didn’t realize you carried so much with you…”Claire laughed

  • The Vampire's Opal   Fate

    Claire stood in front of the massive window, looking out at the Chicago skyline and sunset against Lake Michigan. She lost herself watching the sun’s rays slowly dissipate when an elbow nudged her shoulder, almost making her lose her balance.“Whatcha thinking, cupcake?” Sean crossed his arms and continued to bump into her, rocking her side to side. Her gaze focused on the reflection of the scene behind her. Quinn joking with Marian and Jack with Malachy behind them. His eyes found hers in the window, causing her heart to jump slightly. “You ever think that things happen for a reason? That fate, or whatever, knows the perfect time for us even when it hurts or feels like it’ll kill us?” She focused on her friend, who has been a rock for her over the last few years.Sean looked at Quinn and smiled. “You know I do. Shit. Look at you and me.” He waved a hand between them. “I had the hots for you and tried to charm and seduce you from the get go. Unknown to me, you were already head over

  • The Vampire's Opal   It Matters

    Quinn stood with a battle stance, hands on her hips and her mouth and jaw clenched. Her wide hazel eyes burned holes into Malachy. He answered with his own eyes smoldering and his fangs elongated. Trying to ease the tension between the two, Claire stepped in between them with her palm in the middle of Mal’s chest and the other holding up her index finger in Quinn’s direction.“Everyone, calm down first.” She looked at her best friend, but her statement was more directed at Mal, since he could easily rip the small human apart. The couple slowly stepped out of the elevator with Sean wrapping his arms around Quinn, pulling her back further into the living room. If you could call it that. Claire made a mental note to look around this apartment as much as possible when she wasn’t trying to avoid a vampire attacking her friend.Quinn didn’t hesitate to jump Claire as soon as they set their bags down. “Care to fucking tell me what in the fuck is going on, Claire?! This scumbag left you to
