Ruben woke the next morning to find a gorgeous blond woman in his bed, his arms wrapped around her and her naked body pressed up against his. He smiled to himself and delicately worked his arm free from underneath her and propped up on his elbow. He looked down at her sleeping face and carefully brushed a couple of stray strands of hair away. What have you done to me, demon? He muttered to himself as he stared at her. He knew exactly what she had done and he knew it the moment he had first seen her in a bar a week ago. He was in love with her. It was extremely rare for vampires to find soul mates, even rarer for that soul mate to not be a vampire, but then he wasn’t full vampire either, so who knew how these things worked. All he knew was that he was inexplicably drawn to her, like a moth to a flame. He leant down and gently kissed her lips, slowly and lingering for just a moment until her eyes flickered open. He leaned back on his elbow and smiled at her. “Good morning, gorgeous gi

They discussed business for the next hour as Kat curled up and fell asleep listening to music. Ruben, the others noticed, kept his arm over her quite protectively as she had turned inwards to face the couch her face nestled into his hip. His arm he had lowered to rest lightly in the curve of her waist, his hand on her back. Vlad took his phone out and took a photo. Ruben looked at him with an eyebrow raised.“Too cute.” Vlad shrugged. “So…she’s definitely the one?”Ruben smiled that ever present smirk. “Yes, I believe so.”“God damn.” Mikhail grumbled. “I really didn’t think Lord Ruben Luisetti would ever be the first one of us to fall.”Ruben laughed. “No, I always thought it would be Vlad…”“Me?” Vlad looked startled for a moment. “Hardly, how can I find a mate, I don’t even swing that way…”“Exactly

 Once it was dusk Vladimir arrived back. He swooped Kat into his arms in an extravagant embrace.“Hello gorgeous, how have you been?”“Asleep mostly…”Ruben chuckled as he stood behind her. It wasn’t entirely true, they had slept a few hours of the afternoon after he had finished his paperwork and they had enjoyed each others bodies again.                                                      “Come this way, Vlad…” Ruben said as Kat watched them step away, Ruben turned, curious, raising an eyebrow at her when she didn’t look like she was going to follow.“I’m hungry.” Kat said simply, with a deadpan

It had been two days and no word from Scott of his whereabouts…which was fine by Kat as she got to stay by Ruben’s side.Yet this evening started with the dusk arrival of more drama…As Mikhail’s car came to a stop outside the mansion he barrelled out of it and straight up to Ruben as he waited cordially within the front entrance after being informed of Mikhail’s arrival.“We need to talk, now!” Mikhail hissed as he flicked a glance at Kat standing off to the left, before stalking off.Ruben rolled his eyes. “Christ…” He muttered in a breath.“What is it?” Kat asked, only slightly curious.Ruben looked at her. “He has been messaging me telling me all sorts of shit that he had been finding out about Demons…he really has it in for you.”“Why me?” Kat scowled with a faint pout.Ruben shrugged. “Everything is black and wh

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?
