“Are you serious?” Dominique asked. “Yes. I’ve never seen you like this, Dominique. If a car brings you this much happiness, then check it out. I like cars, and I collect them. I rarely ever drive them. Starting them up occasionally is all I have ever done with most of them.” “Oh, my God! How could you just let this baby sit here?” Dominique asked incredulously. “Well, again, I like cars and collect them. I usually drive my Mustang. It’s my favorite. Go ahead and check it out. The car is all original. It has barely any miles and was barely driven when I bought it.” I told her. Of course, she didn’t know I had bought it when it first came out. I just liked the look of it. I loved muscle cars. Dominique sat on the driver’s side and touched the wheel. The Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in 1969 was rare to find now, especially in such excellent condition, so she was barely touching it. I wondered what her reaction would be if I let her give it a spin. “Would you like to take it for a te
The ride home was strained, and the only thing said was when I gave her directions back to the house. Once the car was parked, Dominique got out and handed me the key. She walked over to the mustang and got her things out. She was no longer in turmoil. Now she was angry, and that feeling was even more potent than her lust. I opened the door at the end of the garage and started up the steps. When I realized Dominique was not behind me, I turned around and went back down. She was fiddling with her phone and pacing back and forth. It seemed like I was always messing things up with her now. I walked up to her and pulled her against me. I kissed her, but she didn’t kiss me back. I pulled back, and she just looked at me. “I’m sorry, Dominique. I did not mean to hurt you. I don’t want to take advantage of you and then have you come back later on me about it. I told you I would not push you, and I mean to keep that promise.” Dominique stepped away from me as she said, “It is what it is
“It wouldn’t matter if you did since you don’t have anything for me to take it with. Who in the hell has a kitchen with nothing in it? Or a refrigerator that isn’t even on?” Dominique asked. I sat on the edge of the bed. I had not thought about her needing food while I was out for the day. How was I going to explain that away to her? She wouldn’t believe me no matter what I said because it was odd not to have anything in the cabinets or the refrigerator for ordinary people. I hadn’t thoroughly thought through her staying with me. I was only worried about her going upstairs and finding my blood supply. “I’m sorry, Dominique. I have a small refrigerator where I keep my things. I did not think of this when I went to sleep this morning.” “Where were you? I called you, but you didn’t answer. Your car was still here. I had to order delivery and saw it still parked in the garage. I, I went upstairs. I’m sorry, but I was looking for you so I could go to the store and get something. I sa
Once she had looked me over, I pressed my body into hers and kissed her again. She moved her hands over my back and traced some of the scars. I shivered slightly as I slid my hand in between her legs. Then, I caressed her as my mouth found her breasts. She moved her hand, caressed me at first, then gripped me. I groaned for her, and she began to move her hand faster as she squeezed me. I had to take her hand away before I lost myself. Finally, I knelt on the floor in front of her. I spread her legs a little wider and placed my mouth over her. She gripped my shoulders as her legs started to shake a little. I licked her folds and made my way inside to her clit. I reached around and cupped her butt as she pushed herself into my face. When I plunged my fingers into her, she cried out. This caused me to start sucking her clit and my fingers to move even faster. I loved the reaction she had to me. Dominique pushed her fingers through my hair as she rode my tongue and fingers. Then, I kiss
She pushed her hands into my hair and pulled me down for a kiss. She got so tight around me as her hands curled in my hair and pulled. I moved as fast as I could as she clenched me hard. She screamed her pleasure as her body jerked up off the bed. Her reaction and her body clenching me caused my release. I couldn’t stop for a few minutes because it was so intense and pleasurable. She was staring into my eyes when she came, making the pleasure even more intense. Her pupils had widened, and I could see every speck in them. I finally slowed down and stopped. I kissed her as I put her legs down. I rolled onto my side and pulled her against me. I loved feeling her body against mine as her breathing slowed. She threw her arm and leg over me and snuggled as close as possible. She drifted off to sleep, and I lay there just holding her. I watched as she slept peacefully. I knew I had to take her home as I had promised, but I didn’t want to. I wanted her to stay with me. I wanted to tell h
We got into the car, and I watched out of the rearview mirror and saw Jacob slinking through the woods as we drove out. He followed us a good way before I started seeing houses and lost sight of him. Where had his car been? If I had seen a car parked anywhere on Dominique’s property, I would not have gone down there. So it had to have been Jacob. Whomever it was had been powerful. If not him, then who? When we got to the store, Dominique went in and looked around. She sighed as she picked up a few fruits and looked like she was contemplating a few other things. “Dominique, just grab some things to last for a few days,” I urged, still feeling uneasy about the wolf at her house. Dominique looked at me, and I just looked back at her. There was no way I was letting her stay at her house by herself now that I knew they were still after her. “I’m only going to be at your house until the morning, Nathaniel. So I don’t need much.” “Would you change your mind if I said that Jacob is sti
We went in, and she plugged in the refrigerator and put the things she had bought into it. She put the plates and cups into the cabinet. I watched her fix her food, and we sat at the table. She had offered me some, but I turned it down. The food smelled wonderful. I had forgotten what the taste of some foods tasted like, but I still enjoyed the smell of them. I remembered the night at the restaurant. When I saw Tim at the table, I moved closer. I could tell by the look on Dominique’s face that she was not happy to see him. I hadn’t been happy to see him either. Tim had looked so surprised because he had known what I was as I had known what he was in an instant. It didn’t take me long to figure out that Dominique didn’t know what Tim was. Moving myself into her life was easy after that. However, she never asked me why I didn’t eat or drink anything. The more I mulled it over, the more I wondered about that. Did she already know or suspect and just didn’t say anything? Finally, I look
I woke up and felt Dominique’s sadness. I got up and got dressed. The club would be opening shortly, so I would head there. What could have happened between last night and today to make her feel so sad? I drove to the club and walked in just as Melissa slapped Tim. I got to the bar right as she threatened to kill him. What was going on? Post had come out from the back and was now yanking a struggling Melissa into the kitchen. Her anger was overwhelming. However, it was Dominique’s sadness that I felt the most. Now, I knew something had happened between Dominique and Tim. It had to be for Melissa to get that riled up. “What did you do to Dominique? From the feel of her sadness, I can only assume she is the one Melissa is talking about you hurting.” I said to Tim. Tim looked at me, and I saw anger, pain, and regret in his eyes. Tim’s hands balled into fists, but he kept them by his sides. I raised an eyebrow, waiting on him to make a move. His anger felt more like rage to me, and it
“Yes. I have heard you tell Nathaniel that the voice sounds like a mixture of mine and Alpha’s. That is why. I know that’s not what you wanted to hear, Dom. But you had to have known. The things I have said have been from a man’s point of view. Alpha was Luna’s mate, yes, but he thinks of you as his mate and would talk to you as his mate. I’m talking to you as your husband would. Please don’t feel bad about this, Dom. I feel lucky that I have spent this extra time with you.”I couldn’t help it. I started to cry. I had wondered about the voice but hoped I was wrong. I’d held Tim’s soul in that stone all this time. He hadn’t been at peace but had been trapped in a stone. The kids would never forgive me if they found out the truth. I wasn’t sure if I could forgive myself at this point. I was so selfish.
I walked over to where the driver was placing my bags onto a luggage trolley and took my wallet from my purse. I handed him 20 euros, and he thanked me. I smiled and walked back to the desk. The clerk gave me the room key and my ID. I thanked him and walked over to the elevator. The porter got on with me, and we went to the room. He must have thought it odd that I didn’t give him the bag from my back, but I ignored his strange looks. Once we got to the room, he unloaded the luggage onto the luggage racks, and I tipped him. He smiled and thanked me before exiting the room. I placed the bag on the bed and put my purse on the nightstand. The curtains were wide open, so I walked over to the windows and closed them. The room wasn’t pitch dark, but the sun wasn’t hitting directly on the bed. I walked over and unzipped the bag.
I woke up when the announcement about our landing came on. I was still cuddling Nathaniel in the bag. I sighed and sat up. I walked over to the seats and hooked my seatbelt. Once the plane landed, I grabbed the bag from the couch and was surprised it didn’t feel heavy. I must still have my strength, but it was awkward when I first tried lifting the bag. I put my hand in my pocket and felt the stone. I felt the energy coming off it and knew it would be glowing if I took it out. I didn’t realize how much it hurt Nathaniel that I always had the stone. I thought he understood that it was a part of Tim and that I wasn’t ready to let go of Tim just yet. I suppose being with him in every way that mattered in a relationship made him
“You could have offered to let me be your human servant and then allowed me to live my life with Tim, but you didn’t. Instead, you took what you wanted without a second thought about what I would think or feel about it. That made me angry, and I wanted to hurt you, so I went to Tim. I chose him automatically. If I had been rational about the situation, I would have sat you both down and had a conversation about it all, but I didn’t.” “Then I cut you out completely later on. I had no reason to do that as Tim knew I wasn’t with you and that I was being faithful to him. But I wanted him to be positive about it, and frankly, I wasn’t sure if I could be completely faithful if I continued to have a relationship with you. I always thought about you and had to push those thoughts and feelings away while I was with Tim.&
“Are you excited, Dominique?” I asked. “Very. I can’t wait to get there and meet Barnaby and Victoria. I also can’t wait to see your home and for you to show me places I know I didn’t see when I came to England the last time.” “When you came to England before, did you feel my presence more than usual?” “I felt like you were closer, but I was always trying to ignore the pull I had to find you. I wanted to enjoy being here with Tim.” I could tell something was off with Dominique when she mentioned Tim, but I tried to ignore it. This was our vacation, and I was grateful she took it with me. I had asked her to leave the stone at home, and she had been reluctant to agree, but she eventually said she would. I watched her body language and how she kept her hand in her jacket pocket. Had she actually left it? “Dominique, what are you hiding?” “I don’t know what you mean.” I tapped into her thoughts and she was thinking about miscellaneous things. This made me even more suspicious. Sh
“Any interesting conversations so far? It’s been a few weeks,” Ewan said. Carson looked at Ewan and responded, “The vampire had a conversation with someone named Nathaniel about coming to England. I think it’s the other vampire we have been looking for. It would explain why we could never find him no matter where we looked. He hasn’t even been here. He did mention that he couldn’t wait to see him and Dominique.” “Did you say Nathaniel?” Ewan asked rather excitedly. “Yes, sir. Is there some significance to that name?”
Dominique began to sway her body against mine. I mimicked her movements and began to take my shirt off. I slowly unbuttoned my shirt as I rolled my hips. Her hands slid down my chest and pulled it free from my pants. I grinned and showed her my fangs as she slid the shirt off my shoulders. I winked at her and gently pushed her back onto the bed.I slowly reached for the fastening on my slacks and unhooked it. I knew by her scent that she was getting turned on. However, I refused to let her touch me. I slowly moved away from the bed while unzipping my slacks. I rolled my slacks down over my hips while revealing tight black briefs.Glancing up at Dominique, I noticed her looking down at the bulge in my briefs. She slowly looked at me, licking her lips. I can see the pulse point at the base of her neck fluttering, and
“I’m sure they will, Dominique. I just wonder sometimes if you will be happy with me after a hundred years together. I know it won’t be easy since you are still not used to sleeping with me. I hope to overcome that obstacle one day and get you into a sleep pattern that allows us to be together.”“Sometimes, we will need to be apart so we don’t get sick of each other. I can always go out alone and spend some time with myself. Then we won’t get tired of being together or run out of things to say.”“You will come to realize that we don’t need to say anything for me to be happy to be with you. Our bond makes us want to be around each other all the time. You will feel the distance and the urge to return to me when you are away from me. I do not expect you to do this, but I want you to know.”
“Dominique, I want to review the plan again to ensure we have it down.” “Okay, Nathaniel. It’s pretty straightforward, though, so I don’t think we need to.” “I just want to make sure you are okay with the plan. There can’t be any mistakes, and I need to know that you can handle my weight.” “Right before you pass out for the day, you will slip into a duffle bag that is big enough to curl up in. Then when we arrive in England, I will take the bag with me as my luggage. There will be a car waiting for us, and I will give them the instructions on how to get to your house. Once we are there, I will place you in the bedroom where you can wake up refreshed. But won’t they check our luggage?” “No. All luggage is checked before you leave. They will just think you grabbed your luggage. I worry that you can not carry me. You no longer have the strength of your wolf.” “I’m still stronger than the average human thanks to being your servant.” “It must look like you have a regular bag, not on
