2021-08-18 23:09:10The next morning, I woke to a key jiggling in the door. Steven! My eyes flew abruptly open as the events of the night before with Lance rushed into my mind. Shit! I jumped quickly from the bed and ran to the shower before Steven came into the bedroom.
Shit! I hadn’t seen him in days and should have known he’d pick now to come home. I swiftly flipped on the shower, hearing his footfalls coming down the hallway, getting louder with each step. The water wasn’t warm enough yet, but I quickly jumped in, letting the cool water glide gently over my body. A moment later, it was hot and steam filled the room.
“Honey?” Steven called out from the bedroom.
Quickly, I grabbed the shampoo and scrubbed my neck to wash away the dried blood, but my skin felt as if it had already healed. I grabbed more shampoo and ran it quickly over the vital parts of my body. Shit! What happened if he found out? But, at that moment, I didn’t care. Fucking Lan

“Call in sick. Take a day off,” Steven coaxed, crossing the room to wrap his arms around my waist. He kissed my neck, trailing up to my ear. “Stay here and make love to me all day.”“Steven, where were you last weekend?”“Working,” he said, reaching for me, but I shrugged out of his grasp and crossed the room to my clothes lying on the bed.“Steven, it’s just that I’m running late for work,” I stammered, slipping into my white lace panties, and then fastening my matching white bra into place between my breasts.“Seeing you like that reminds me of our honeymoon …”“Steven,” I said, exasperated, as I slid into my scrub pants. “What’s with you this morning? We haven’t made love in weeks and suddenly this morning you can’t keep your hands off me.”“Just forget it, Leila,” he said, slipping on a pair of

Then, he looked into my eyes and, for a moment, I held my breath, wondering if he would believe me. Shit! How could I have been so stupid?But a moment later, a sly smile spread across his lips. “Am I your Lancelot?” he asked seductively, bending down to bite my earlobe. “Am I your knight in shining armor?”“Yeah, Steven,” I replied, as he thrust his hard dick deep into my vagina again. “Make love to me, Steven …” I rose my hips to meet his thrusts, arching my back. He pushed back and forth, harder and faster until, suddenly, his come rushed inside me, bringing me to climax.Then, he leaned down and whispered softly into my ear, “Who did you fuck last night, Leila? Was it this Lance?”Abruptly, I sat up, not knowing what to think. “What the hell?”“Yeah, I know someone was here last night and that you fucked him,” Steven said, thrusting into me again. “

The rest of the day was uneventful with not much excitement. Throughout my shift, I wondered if Steven had headed to the airport yet, but, at the same time, my mind kept wandering back to this morning. How could he have treated me like that? Although I had never done anything like this before, all in the course of one night, I had completely destroyed my marriage … but it was also the most erotic night of my life.My mind also drifted to Lance, wondering where he was, and how many years he had been on Earth. He was a vampire, after all. I suddenly wondered who he had been before he was turned. I quickly pushed the thought aside.My mind also wandered to Steven. Was it true that Steven had a lover, as well? Is that why he confronted me instead of leaving me … or killing me? He went out of town often on “business” and worked nights. Hell, he didn’t even come home most nights. Who was to say that he wasn’t having an affair? I wa

“I had a wonderful time last night,” he said in a low voice, running his fingertips slowly from my shoulder to my waist, gently bushing the side of my breast, then wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to his chest. “I want to see you again.”“I’m afraid that’s not possible.” I pulled back, and he released me. Then, I turned to leave.“Look, just one date,” he said, stopping me. “Please.”I took a deep breath. “Lance, you’re a vampire.”“Yes, so?”“So, I need time,” I said, shaking my head. “Not only did we have an affair last night, but you’re … a … vampire.” I said, accenting each word. “I need time to wrap my head around it.” I looked into his eyes and continued, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.” Then, I laughed without mirth. “Besides, if I did, they

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, taking me by surprise; I didn’t know why. I guess a part of me expected him to come in through the window. I chuckled to myself at the thought, grabbed a black, silk wrap and flung it over my arm, then headed down the stairs.I flung the door open wide and Lance was standing in the doorway, in all his perfection. His dark hair waved just to his collar, pushed back away from his gorgeous green eyes. He wore a tight black leather jacket, unzipped with a white collared shirt beneath and matching black leather pants. He looked good enough to eat. “Well, don’t you look stunning,” he said with a low whistle, leaning against the doorframe.“Thank you. So do you,” I replied with a smile. “Won’t you come in?”“Thank you, but no,” he said in his smooth, sexy voice. He slid his fingers around my waist and slowly pulled me to him, then looked down at me, directly into my eyes. &ld

I looked out the window and Caprice Casino was on the right, toward the end of the strip. It was huge, extending three city blocks, which included the hotel and casino, and it was a castle. It wasn’t a cheap knock off, but a real, genuine brick-and-mortar castle. Lights illuminated it, changing between purple, orange, green, gold, red, and blue—just about every color imaginable—and it was just as spectacular in every color. The other buildings of the hotel matched the castle perfectly, appearing to be a magnificent eleventh century village.“It’s amazing,” I said in a low voice, awed.I looked over and a smile lit his lips as he took in my expression.“Who designed it?” I asked, still amazed as Lance turned the Maserati into the long drive, leading to the front of the hotel where young valets waited.“King Arthur,” he replied, waiting for my reaction.I paused for a moment then laughed out

The upstairs level was circular and rooms jettisoned off in every direction. Lance and I passed by one door and a man walked out as moans of pleasure came from inside the room. The door quickly closed as a bouncer stepped in front of it, blocking everyone’s way. Another room we passed contained diners seated within, talking casually, enjoying each other’s company. Ballroom music emanated from yet another room, where patrons swayed, looking like professional dancers.Lance led me to another room where two bouncers stood guard. “Good evening, Mr. Steel,” both of them said in unison, each opening a door. We walked into the darkened room and Lance led me to a private table. I looked around and we were the only ones in this room. The room was impeccably decorated with a few small tables, designed for private parties. Soft music played from hidden speakers, a large sectional couch stretched around the full perimeter of the room, and large pillows were placed

Lance laughed and the irony was not lost on him. “Come on, let me show you around my club,” he said, holding my chair for me as I rose from my seat. He slid his hand down my arm and took my hand, then led me from the room. The bouncers outside the door nodded as we walked past.We headed down the hallway and walked passed another room just as a door opened, and I could hear heavy moaning and a scream coming from inside. I ran to the door, but a bouncer stood in my way. I turned to Lance, alarmed.“You must keep an open mind; no one is killing anyone in there. Here in this club, killing is not allowed. If that were the case, then word would get out and we’d be out of business. No, we feed from humans, then heal them and erase their memories. Then, they are free to go.” We turned a corner and walked down a long corridor. “Most of us feed from blood bags, while others prefer their meals at 98.6 degrees.”“So, people a

LeilaJase started toward me, but Selestra held up her hand, stopping him. โWait!โโSelestra,โ Lance growled, his eyes flaring a brilliant green. โIf you do not release the children now, I will personally tear you to pieces.โโAs a show of good faith, Iโm giving you back the children,โ she replied. โBut Raif is crazed with vengeance. I couldnโt take his abuse anymore, and I left him and took your children with me.โโItโs a lie!โโLance, wait!โ I held my hand up, stopping her. โWhat if sheโs telling the truth?โ Then I turned to Selestra. โSo, give us the children. Once theyโre safe, then weโll talk.โSelestra nodded. โAgreed.โ She motioned for Jase and Addie to go to us, and they both rushed toward me and hugged me.โSheโs alone,โ Addie whispered, keeping her voice so low only I could hear.I nodded once. โJase, Sirena, go home with Raven. weโll talk when we get there.โJase looked between us and said, โBe safe.โLance pulled them both in for a quick hug, making it look good.

LeilaโI spoke with Kellen,โ Lance said, quickly crossing the room. โHeโs called an emergency and is locking down the castle as we speak. Heโs also agreed to stay with Sirena and Emma, too.โ He let out a deep breath, placing his hands on his hips. โIt may be overkill, but I donโt care. Sirena needs all the protection we can give her.โA moment later, there was a knock on the door.Lance held up his hand to me and quickly crossed the room. He looked through the peephole, opened the door, and extended his hand to Emma. โThanks for this. Iโm so sorry we had to phone you on such short notice.โโNot a problem. Iโm glad to help.โ She walked in dressed in a pair of jeans, a floral shirt, and boots, similar to what I was wearing. I was sure she had come prepared to fight, too.โThank you so much for this.โ I pulled her in for a quick hug. โAfter Kellen locks down the castle, heโll come stay with you.โEmma nodded. โThatโs fine.โ She pointed down the hallway. โIs Sirena in the family room?โI

LeilaโWhat do you mean โtheyโre missing?โโ Lance demanded, taking a step closer.Raven took a deep breath, the most flustered Iโd ever seen her. โAfter dinner, they were dismissed and were in their common rooms. One of the other students said that Jase got a call... from you.โ Her head snapped up toward me. โSo, he stepped out into the hallway with Addie and never came back in.โโFrom me?โ I asked in disbelief, shaking my head. โIt wasnโt me.โโWell, the student said your number popped up on his phone.โ Raven shook her head. โIโm so sorryโโโWho was the student?โ I asked.Raven let out a deep breath. โKian Medine. The Medine family is important in the witch community and very trustworthy.โI nodded. โCan you do a locator spell on him like you did last time?โโThatโs what I planned to do.โ She looked into Lanceโs eyes. โI knew you would want to be present.โLance nodded. โThank you.โ He gritted his teeth. โIf Raif and Selestra have them, there will be no place they can hide.

Thank you for coming.โโWould you like to meet our daughter before you go?โ Lance asked.Emma nodded. โYes, please.โ Her eyes brightened. It was clear that she loved children.I nodded. Whether or not we hired her, what harm could it do to introduce Emma to Sirena? โRight this way.โI walked down the hallway, and Emma walked beside me as Lance followed behind. When we entered the family room, Sirena was playing Chess alone, switching seats at each turn. It was the funniest thing Iโd ever seen. Then guilt filled my chest for not having anyone her age to occupy her. โSirena, honey, Iโd like you to meet someone.โSirena looked up and smiled, her game forgotten as she crossed the room purposefully toward Emma and thrust out her hand. โHello. My name is Sirena. Whatโs your name?โโMy name is Emma.โ She tilted her head to the side, smiling. So, you

As in โthe bastard son of a king?โโโLance!โ I scoffed, unable to believe what he had just said.โPlease, pardon me, both of you.โ Lance looked over at me and smiled. โThe word was more commonly used in our time. Please, forgive me.โI nodded cautiously. โItโs okay.โBut Emma smiled, unaffected. โItโs okay. I used to hear it all the time years ago. But not many people know the meaning or connotation today.โLance nodded. โSo, who was your father?โShe let out a deep breath. โMy father was King Henry I, and I am one of his illegitimate children.โMy eyes nearly bugged out of my head, but miraculously, I maintained my composure. โCould you explain that to us? I mean, how did you come to be in our coven?โShe nodded. โI was born the twenty-sixth of June, i

LeilaLance let out a deep breath. โAfter hearing everything, the Council agreed with my reasoning. They couldnโt believe all the threats Raif had leveled against you and the children, and they agreed that if he defeated me, he would also take over the Council, the vampire world, and the rest of the supernatural creatures. When I told them he wanted to be king, they agreed that we canโt let that happen.โโWell, letโs eat, and then you can take a shower before Emma gets here.โ I made a sandwich out of a biscuit, an egg, and a slice of bacon.Lance laughed. โWhat are you doing?โโI used to do this all the time when I was human.โ I picked it up and took a bite. โYou should try it! Itโs good!โโCan I have some?โ Sirena asked, looking at my biscuit sandwich with curiosity.โSure!โ I slid her onto my lap and made her a sandwich with the other biscuit, egg, and bacon. Lance got up and made another one for me and warmed up a bag of blood for her.โHere you go!โ I handed her the biscuit sandw

He pulled back a moment later and gave me one last sweet kiss. Then he slid out of bed and slipped into his sleeping shorts and a white T-shirt.โAhh,โ I moaned, reaching for him. โCome back to bed.โHe chuckled, one corner of his lips curling into a sexy smile. โYou donโt know how tempting that is.โ

The successful applicant needed to be a vampire with fighting skills, capable of protecting Sirena during a crisis. He or she would also have to have good nanny and child nurturing skills. Not an easy combination to find in one person.โSo, did you have any luck finding a nanny for Sirena?โ A smile spread across Kellenโs face as we headed toward the main conference room for the meeting with the Supernatural Council, consisting of the heads of all the covens and packs in Las Vegas.I scoffed. โNo. Not yet.
