Urban Vampire Chapter 22
He might have been in his mid-thirties—if that. He was fit, tanned, and good- looking with semi-messy blonde hair that he probably paid a stylist a pretty penny to create. Judging by the suit, I could tell that he was pulling in the big money."Okay. Here it goes." Before I could rise Tony stopped me with a hand on my arm. "You need to do this alone. Take Mei Wah and the car. He'll make sure nothing happens to you. Just remember two things. Don't take too much blood, and he must be able to make the choice to be yours of his own free will. If it's against his beliefs, then he will lose his mind. Do you know what I mean?"I nodded though I didn't understand, but I would still do what he asked. I approached the man. He was sipping bourbon on the rocks. I glanced behind me, but Tony was already gone. I rubbed my hands down my legs and tried to convince myself that this was not the same as being a pusher.I took off my glasses and sat next to him. "Hello."He smiled and nodded at me.
Urban Vampire Chapter 23
Tony had brought my teeth out, but that was with pain. He had also made my teeth retract, and that was with a kiss.I concentrated on Paul, on the food. Maybe that would do it. Even with how attractive Paul was, I wasn't ready to start kissing strange men.I caught the scent of his blood beneath his skin. It made my stomach twist. My mouth began to water, and I could feel the teeth lower. I nuzzled the food. It was beginning to smell delicious.I could feel Paul transfer his weight from one foot to the next. I let my tongue glide along his salty skin and groaned deep down. Paul echoed the sound. I nibbled, and his hands sprung up but fell back down to his side.I broke the skin at his neck, but Paul didn't draw away from me. I buried my teeth in to the quickening pulse at his throat, and the blood gushed into my mouth causing me to shudder in pleasure. Paul's hands stroked down between us, and I smacked them away. But I could understand his desire. I felt myself tingling down low.
Urban Vampire Chapter 24
I checked the time—close to three AM! I cursed. Unsure how to begin, I first started at a run, then I concentrated on Tony's smell and taste, and before I knew it, it seemed as if I could almost see him. I thought about being there, and I was moving faster than I could think. I can only describe it as teleporting though I could sense myself moving through space. Maybe I was in that limbo that Tony had tried to describe to me. He had tried to make me understand that we could do the seemingly impossible because we were no longer completely a part of this world anymore, but it was hard to understand because I had never believed I had ever left the world in the first place.I stopped the sickening motion outside of a house immediately familiar to me. It was the house that William had brought me to days before. I headed toward the house then kicked off the fancy fur slippers in irritation. I checked my watch. I'd lost fifteen minutes, and that meant it was after three AM.They'd be in the
Urban Vampire Chapter 25
The Elder swiveled to face Kaniji. The temperature dropped suddenly. Something was about to happen, and I was already scared as it was. I didn't need to see Kaniji get a psychic backhand.I interrupted whatever was about to happen. "I don't have a problem telling anything." I said angrily. "I was judged unfit because I had no memories. But I was told that I had no instincts, and that's a lie! I have a survival instinct! And that's what caused Johan to die and me to survive.""We toyed with you!" Kaniji yelled.Craggy Face scooted away from her, and not a moment too soon because Kaniji went flying as if a hand was gripping her throat. She was yanked, the way my mama used to threaten to do me!Kaniji ended up kneeling before the Elder, who hadn't flinched, and in front of me, too. "P ... Pl ... Please!" Kaniji gasped. The hold must have been released because Kaniji collapsed and then threw herself prostate at the Elder's feet."A million apologies for my rudeness," she croaked.T
Urban Vampire Chapter 26
I had to get out of there. I had a room full of angry Vampires and another dead Council Member. Before anyone had time to react, I thought about being outside and was standing in the grass in front of the mansion. I felt anything but safe, it was getting late, and I had no idea where I would sleep tonight ... today. I had no intentions of going back to Tony's, not after lying about the holy relic and killing my second Council member in so many days. Besides, Tony and I had some major trust issues. But I had an idea. It might be as much of a death sentence as anything else I'd done since dying. I was going back to Paul's.It was harder to find Paul's line. It melded with the other humans in the city. If it had been a day later I don't think I would have been able to trace the feel of him. I concentrated on Paul, and then I began traveling to where he was located. I could feel myself in a different place, that other world. There was nothing to focus on and nothing to feel, but I cou
Urban Vampire Chapter 27
I sank down onto his couch. All right. I've basically tricked and cheated my way onto the Vampire Council. But I've also exposed myself as a Vampire who has different abilities than other vamps. Different abilities equates to more power. Just politics, baby. That's why a Vamp like me would be a danger to the entire Vampire Nation.And what about Tony? One minute he was acting all protective. Next minute he was going behind my back ensuring my subservience! He had a lot of nerve! He really was from the olden days if he thought it was okay to think for me because I was a woman he desired! I am so happy that I hadn't let it go any further than just a little touching ... well, and the bloodsucking … okay, and finger-fucking.But as a Council member, did that mean that I could leave at will and not be hunted down? I had more power. Nobody could force me to kill and to be their mindless puppet. I didn't want to be like William, forced to go looking for other Thirds to offer up to the Counc
Urban Vampire Chapter 28
I tilted his head the other way, exposing his unmarred skin. He brought his hands up to my waist and rested them above my hips. "Is that okay? You said before that I could."I didn't care because Paul was beginning to smell like food. My stomach had a strange empty feel to it. "Yeah," I said. My teeth dropped so quickly that it brought me back to myself a little. Careful, I thought. Don't rip the food ... I mean, Paul. I licked his neck with long strokes. I felt him shudder. With his head gripped in my hands it looked as if we were in a lovers' embrace. I closed my lips over his pulse and felt it flutter beneath my tongue. "Hmm, I groaned. He tasted so good. My teeth sank into his flesh. I felt Paul's hands tighten on my hips. His breath seemed to come out in a pleasured rush.I drew in the salty sweetness of him, but as soon as it hit my stomach, it revolted. There was a stabbing pain as if I was being impaled!I fell to my knees and screamed, and what had gone down came up i
Urban Vampire Chapter 29
Paul went to the balcony and looked down. He hurried back to me. "Uh, there's a big guy down there..""That would be Tony. Close the balcony door!"But it was too late for that. Tony was already standing on the small balcony with Paul."Are you going to invite me in?" Tony said to Paul."No," Paul said.Tony smirked but didn't try to enter. "Just wondering." He turned his eyes on me through the opened door and gave me a stern look. "You've been busy."I crossed my arms across my chest. "What are you doing here?"I saw the muscles clench in his jaw, but when Tony spoke his voice was calm and even. "You have an initiation to attend. Or did you forget that you've been placed on the board of the Council?" He eyed Paul. "I see he's agreed to become your willing donor ... and more."Paul placed his hands in front of the bulge in his pants."How did you know I was here? I know I shielded."He frowned at me. "Mei Wah? He drove you home from this place last night."Oh, yeah."We nee
