Reese begins working at the studio every night avoiding Luca. He has been cold to her since the day they had sex on his office floor. He told no one she was a vampire. He did not fire her but stayed distant.
Kat observed the tension between them when they were all together but did not mention it or say a word. Reese and Luca both keep it professional.
Kat and Reese become inseparable. Reese became a great advocate for the girls working at the studio. She was on their side first. To hell with production or the bottom line she took care of the woman first.
The studio was doing better than ever. Luca nor anyone else could say a word to her. She took care of business. Reese buried herself in her work and her work was the studio.
It’s been two months since Luca had a real conversation with Reese. He has to be at the studio tonight and he knows Reese will be there.
“Reese, I have some questions about the script?” Danie
Reese wraps everything up for the night. Daniel drops by her office.“Are you about ready?” Daniel asks.“Daniel I am going to meet everyone there. You are going to the Dungeon Bar right?” Reese says.“Yeah. Unless you want to go somewhere else?” Daniel asks.“No. I think Luca is coming as well as his PA. His PA Thomas is riding with me. I believe everyone is coming,” Reese says.“Okay. Sounds good,” Daniel says. Reese could tell he was disappointed.She knew she should have dinner with him one night but nothing more. She really didn’t want him to get the wrong idea since they had to work together on a daily basis. She knew how well that had worked for her in the past.Reese finishes up with her work and shuts down her computer. She looks up to see Kat smiling at her.“What? It better not be anything. I have already shut down my computer and I a
Thomas drives Reese back to the studio to pick up her car. “I am sorry,” Reese says.Thomas reaches for Reese and gives her a devilish smile. “For what? You have nothing to be sorry for. It is not your fault Luca was being a dick. It seems to be what he does best right?” Thomas says.Reese laughs. “You are right. He is a dick,” she says.“So what is the deal anyway? You guys date or what?” Thomas asks.“Not exactly. It is complicated,” Reese says.The two pull up to the studio. “I have a bottle of bourbon in my office,” Reese says.“Is that an invitation,” Thomas asks.“I believe it is,” Reese says.Thomas gets out of his car and walks around to let Reese out. He opens her door and takes her by the hand.Reese takes the studio main door key out of her purse and opens the door. The two walk down the main hall to the back
Reese decides to sleep in her office for the night. She walks down to Kat’s dressing room to take a shower. She hopes there are no cameras in the damn shower. Reese is distraught but trying to hold herself together as she steps into Kat’s shower.She stands in the hot water trying to calm down. She uses Kat’s shampoo and conditioner to wash her hair. She grabs a clean washcloth off the rack just outside of the shower and Kat’s body wash. She washes herself. She begins to cry uncontrollably. Reese sits down in the shower to let the hot water rinse away her tears.She leans her head back against the shower wall when she hears a noise. “Great Luca probably left the door open and someone has snuck in here,” she says.“Reese,” Kat hollers.“I am in your shower,” Reese hollers back.Reese steps out of the shower and grabs a towel.“I hope you didn’t mind. I just needed t
Reese wakes up before Kat. She takes her blanket and covers Kat up with it. She has made her decision. She walks down the hall to her office. She takes a box out of the closet in the hall. She walks into her office and starts packing up her things. She takes out her company cell and puts it on the desk. She removes her company card and car keys from her purse and places them on the desk.Reese turns on her computer and forwards all her emails to Luca. She takes two pieces of paper off of the printer and pens a note for Kat. She spends time on it making sure Kat knows she is positive this is the right move. Luca’s note was much simpler. Reese takes out her cell and texts Roman to come to pick her up. While she waits she seals the envelope with Kat’s note puts it in her purse. She leaves Luca’s on her desk. Reese looks around the office to see if she left anything.She leaves her office and walks to Kat’s dressing room. S
Reese sleeps as Roman and Kat get to know one another. Sparks are flying between the two of them. Roman tries not to get too involved with humans when he can help it, but Kat is doing something to him that he can’t seem to pull away from.As Roman and Kat continue to explore each other slowly with sweet kisses on the couch there is a knock on the door.Knock Knock Knock“Who could that be?” Roman grumbles as he leaves Kat to see who is at the door.Roman licks his lips tasting the last kiss he got from Kat. “I am coming damn stop knocking,” Roman continues to grumble.Roman opens the door to see Luca standing on the other side of the door.“oh it is you,” Roman says.Luca stands at the door for a moment not saying a word at first. “I just want to talk to Reese,” he says.“Well, she’s sleeping right now and upset and honestly probably not
Reese sleeps through the day. She is mentally and physically exhausted. She hasn’t been feeding properly. She has to get her life on a regular schedule again. Luca has been problematic. She has to make a decision about him. She cannot let him be this way toward her. He has to either be with her or let her go.When Reese gets out of bed she hears talking coming from her kitchen. Three voices are in her kitchen talking. She decides she needs to investigate.She slips into her comfy slippers and walks into the kitchen. She stands in the doorway. Kat, Luca, and Roman are sitting together drinking.“You guys look like you are having fun,” Reese says.The three are extremely drunk. Roman who has the highest tolerance for alcohol is even drunk. “What are you three doing?” Reese asks.“We are drinking?” Kat says.The three of them pour another drink and an extra one for Reese. “Woah, don&rs
Reese wakes the next morning in bed alone. Luca is gone. She reaches for his side of the bed and finds a note with a single white rose. Reese opens the envelope containing the note.*The company car is here; your keys, credit card, and cell are on the bar. I will be by the studio to see you tonight. I will miss every moment we are apart*Reese holds the note close to her and smiles. “I guess I am going back to work,” she says.Reese gets out of bed and walks into the kitchen to fix her a smoothie. Kat and Roman are both in the kitchen.“Hey guys,” Reese says.The two of them are interlocked into each other. Roman cannot take his eyes off of Kat to even glance up at his sister.“Hello, sister. I already made your smoothie for you. It is in the refrigerator.” Roman says.“Thanks. I am going back to work today so I am going to need Kat back,” Reese says.“Yeah, I know. I have w
Reese finishes up her paperwork. “I have one moment where I walk away and end up buried in paperwork. So much for an easy day,” Reese says.Kat comes in dressed in all black. Her hair and makeup are perfect. “Wow, hot mama!” Reese says.“Well, you know. Seeing how I am going to see Roman tonight,” Kat says.“First you are mine for the night girl,” Reese says.“Did you talk to Roman and Luca?” Kat asks.“Oh yeah, I told both of them we would meet up at my apartment but first we were going out for a girls' night,” Reese says.Kat sits down in the leather chair across from Reese’s desk. “So how did Mr. Possessive take it?” Kat asks.“He said he would bring dinner to the apartment. Let’s just hope he and Roman get along?” Reese says.“Yeah, Roman seems to be a little protective of his sister,” Kat says.Ree
Thomas POVReese make love for hours instead of getting ready to leave. I honestly do not care where we go as long as I am with here. Being with her makes me more happy than i have ever been in my life. I love the way she loves me. I love the way she fucks me. There is nothing about her that I do not love.We finally decide to take a break and decide where we are going to spend a few days."We need to go some where we can lose Roman and Kat easily," Reese says with a laugh.She runs her fingers across my chest. "Where do you think that would be?" I ask her."The north pole maybe," Reese answers me. "Seriously, I need to make some sort of reservations. We can just go to the beach. We can put them in a hotel down the road," I say to her."We could rent a couple of beach houses," Reese suggests."That is actually not a bad idea. They could be in one house and us in our own. We can hide the entire time," I say to her."Remember Kat will keep
Reese POVI get up early and leave Thomas in the bed to rest. He probably needs it after the night we had last night. I want to talk to Kat alone without Roman. I feel like she can talk to him better than I can. Roman always feels the need to protect me. This is one time I need him to put it all aside at least for a few days.Kat is up and in the kitchen cooking. She does this every single morning. She says she enjoys it when you ask her about it. We all love her for it. I have never seen some one get up early just to cook huge meals for every one else. I go in the kitchen to speak with her. She bear hugs me before I can even get a word out."I was so worried about you," Kat says."I am fine there is no need to worry about me. I think every one worries a little too much about me constantly . I know things could have went bad, but it did not. I am fine," I say to her."Yes, it could have. Roman is worried sick," Kat says as she continues on with her coo
Reese POVI lay beside Thomas. He is trying so hard to comfort me. There is nothing wrong with me. I am scared and a little upset with myself but physically I am okay. I still want us to go on our honey moon. I know Roman is going to be trying to baby me. I do not need that. I need to have some peace. I have peace with Thomas for once in my life. He leaves me only to retrieve a blood bag from the kitchen. I do not think he understands that I have had enough blood to last me for a while He comes back with the blood bag. He leans down to kiss me. "You taste like whiskey," I say to him."Sorry, Kat and Roman are sitting in the kitchen drinking and talking. I took a shot to be social-able," Thomas says."Sure you did," I say.I take the blood bag from Thomas. I drink all of it to make him happy. He smiles at me while I am drinking it. "You are creeping me out," I tell Thomas."Reese, I want to ask you something," Thomas says."Sure, what i
Kat POVI hear the car pull up in the drive way. I run out to see how Reese is doing. I have been worried sick since Roman left. I was relieved when he called but her was so vague about what happened. I rush out to her. She is covered in blood and obviously upset. She holds on to Thomas. He carries her past me. I dare not bother the two of them. I can get all of the details from Roman. I rush to Roman. I throw my arms around him. I cannot hold him enough. "I was so worried," I say as I begin kissing him over and over."I know you were," He says kissing me back as many time as I kiss him.He scoops me up and carries me in to the house. "Put me down," I say to him."I cannot carry my beautiful wife in to the house," Roman demands."Of course you can you big dummy. Drop me off in the kitchen so we can talk," I say to him.He carries me in to the kitchen and sets me down. "I will get a bottle of wine and we can talk about what happened," R
Thomas POVI ride along quietly with Roman. I dare not to say too much. I can tell his mind is running in a thousand places worried about his sister. I do not understand how he feels so I will not try to pretend like I do. I think Roman wants silence while we ride to Benton's house so i will give it to him.Roman turns down a long drive way. "We need to hide the car and walk up to the house. I know Benton and his goons are watching for us," Roman says."Okay, There is a tree line there," I say to him. We pull the car in to the tree line. He parks the car. "Remember what I said just get her out no matter what is happening to me," Roman says to me."I will make sure she is safe, but Roman she will never leave you behind," I say to him."That is why I need you to make sure you get her our. I do not care if you have to forcefully drag her out, get her out," Roman says to me."I will make sure she is safe," I assure him.We get out of the car. We
Lester POVI leave Reese after she agrees to stay. I will have some one take her in a blood bag to try to get her strength back. I knew she would cave to me. She always has and always will. She is nothing but a play thing to me. I do not love and honestly I really do not even want her in my life. I only want to see how much I can make her suffer. I will make her wish she had stayed before. She ran out on me when she could not handled my lifestyle and my needs. She will pay for everything she did. I will break her down and build her up to be the obedient little wife I want her to be. I can get rid of that idiot Thomas and her brother. I will make sure she has no one left but me in this world. I go into my office. I pull up the video feed from our bedroom. I watch her as she lays almost lifeless. She did taste wonderful. She needs blood or she will die soon. I think I will make her wait until she is almost dead before I give her a blood bag. Then maybe I will rush in and gi
Roman POVI make sure Kat is resting and recovering. She will be okay if she remains calm. She is a young vibrant vampire. It will not take her long to fully recover. I am afraid for her if she becomes too upset. I would not want her to lash out at Benton. He is much stronger than her.I can handle him she might not be able to.I take Thomas away from Kat so we can talk privately. I need to make sure he has his mind in the right place before we embark on this en devour."I have a pretty good idea where he took her, but I need you to be prepared before we go looking for her. Benton is an evil bastard. We need to get her and get out. I will handle Benton after she is safe," I say to Thomas.Thomas shakes his head. I know what he is thinking. He is thinking that he will kill Benton. It is not that easy."Why does he want her?" Thomas asks me."I have no idea. Maybe because she is happy. Maybe because he is being a dick or maybe he just got up this morning
Reese POVBenton has taken me. Why in the hell he can not let go of the past is beyond me? I was heart broken over him once upon a time, but now I am finally happy, why is he doing this? He has me in our old bedroom. I thought he sold this damn house. He told me he held too many memories from the past.Why? I hear noise coming from outside the bed room door. I wait for who ever to come inside. The door creeks and Benton enters the room. "Reese darling, I think we need to talk," Benton says."Well, we could have done that at my brother's house, do you not think he will be going crazy looking for me?" I ask him."I will return you. I have no problem doing that. I only wanted to have a conversation with you first," Benton says."Again, we could have done that at my brother's house. Benton is got married yesterday. I am happy. Leave me alone," I say to him."Are you happy, Reese, darling?" Benton asks."Yes, for once in my life, I am happy," I sa
Kat POVI lay in the bed next to Roman. I swear there is no place in this world I would rather be. I know that marrying him was the best thing that could have ever happened to me He is the love of my life. Reese and Thomas are a bonus. I love Reese like a sister. I know Roman is worried about her and her future. She has been broken so many times before. This time I think it is different. I think everything will work out great for the two of them. I wish they would stay here with us for a while but on the other hand I am ready to have Roman all to myself. I have no regrets in helping Reese recover. I will always be there for her when she needs me no matter what. Roman adores her, and I could never get in the way of that. I lay my head on his chest. I would never in a million years thought the day would come that I would be so in love with a vampire and married to one. He is my everything. I close my eyes to go back to sleep. I hear something coming from downstairs. I
