2024-10-29 19:42:56Tatina POV
Being with Draco these last few years has done something wonderful for me. After surviving the hell Craig put me through, Draco has showed me nothing but love and compassion. I know he loves me, he shows me every single day we are together.
He is patient and kind. He allows me time to decompress and be by myself. It is strange how we became a couple. First he was my rescuer then my best friend, somehow I worked myself into his bed as his lover, but ultimately he became to me the man I needed.
He doesn’t feed on me ever. He knows it is something that scares me now. He has never tried but once. I think I almost lost my mind that night. Draco being Draco held me while I cried. He helped me through so much. Then he taught me how to fight for the rights of others. He taught me how to be me. I became a warrior to stop the auctions because of him and him alone.
When I had my worst night rescuing women and men in the auction, he

I want to cook for her and make love to her. I want more than anything for her to say yes she will marry me. I want her to be my partner forever.I have purchased all of her favorite things. This would be so much easier if I let the staff prepare our meal, but she wants me to cook for her. I have not cooked for her in a long time.I did cheat and have my cook make Tatina a cheesecake. I could not do that no matter how hard I try. The steaks and vegetables, I can grill no problem. She can have cheesecake for desert and I will have her.What is she says no? At least she will finally give me an answer. No matter what she says tonight, I will never stop loving her. She has no idea what she has done for me.I never thought in a mi
The Auction Chapter 39
Tatina POVI look down at my sweet Draco kneeling before me. He has no idea how badly I want to say yes, but I am afraid. The only thing I know to do is be honest with him.I place my hand on top of his.“Draco, I want to be perfectly honest with you. I feel that we have always been honest with each other and there is no reason to stop that now,” I say to him.“That is all I want. I want an answer for a change. No matter what you say I will respect that,” Draco says.“There is no doubt in my mind that we love each other. Is that enough?” I ask him.“Of course, it is enough. I will love you until the end of time,” Draco says.“What is it that you want from me?” I ask him.“I want you to be my wife. I want you to be my partner in life. I want us to be together forever,” Draco says.“I am your partner and we will always be together. I just d
The Auction Chapter 40
Draco POVI cannot believe she finally said yes to me. I have waited so long for this moment for us. I hate that the only priest I can find is in the city. I hope if I offer him enough money he will come to a hotel outside of the city and marry us there, if not I will protect her.There isn’t a threat to her anymore. Craig is dead. I made sure of that myself. He cannot come after her. She still fears him. I understand these feelings she has of fear. I cannot say that I would not be the same way if I was in her shoes.Tatina has developed into the strongest person I have ever known. She walks into auction houses and slave houses. She destroys the idiots that hurt women. She is fearless except for the one fear she is still trying to get passed.I pack us a small bag for the night. I let her relax while I grab us a few things. We can eat when we get there. She doesn’t really want to eat my horrible cooking, it was a test to see if I
The Auction Chapter 41
Two years after THE AUCTION Renae Dufrene POV I have been looking forward to this trip all month. When Tara suggested we celebrate her divorce with a weekend in the French Quarter, I jumped on it. I have not been to New Orleans in a while. I need a few nights filled with music, booze, and dancing. Before she married Mr. Straight and fucking narrow, we would go down at least once a month. We would stay in this fabulous rental house and party like we were locals. I was so ecstatic to find out the house was available for rent this weekend. The same guy still owns it. That is a bonus. He will be something nice to look at while we are there. Tara really needs this weekend, and I fully plan to give her a good one. Maybe I can talk her into staying longer. Marrying Jake was such a mistake. I know she loved him, but damn, why him? I have every intention to make this a wild woman’s weekend. I have already sent out a massive text to everyone we know that

Jules does not need any trouble from anyone right and we both know it. One time I am glad he is a fast driver. Tara is sweating all over my back seat. She is panicked and I cannot say I blame her the soon to be ex-husband is a psychopath.“What the hell is going on with you?” I ask her.“That fucking bastard is driving me insane! He better leave while we are gone or I might kill him when we get back!” she yells. She throws her bag on the floorboard of the back seat and lays back in a huff.Jules keeps his eyes on the road trying to put distance between us and the house. If Jake starts a fight with him over Tara, it could get ugly fast. Jules is calm and non- confrontational. He knows his temper and tries to keep i
The Auction I Miss You
Renae POVI don't say anything about the passenger in Lester's car. I just keep looking at Tara and try not to make eye contact with him no matter how much I want to. I would love to reach over slap Jamie and ask him what the hell he is doing with Lester, but it is probably better if I keep my hands to myself and my opinion. Lester instructs the driver to the nearest bar. I need a drink, and I needed it the moment he stepped behind me and said Hello. Nobody wants to see their ex on their vacation. NOBODY!. Tara looks like she needs a drink or four. . What the hell is Jamie doing with my ex-husband? I know, damn I know exactly why they are together and there is no need in pretending or trying to figure it all out in my head."I can read your thoughts and so can everyone in this car. Well, except for your friend over there," Lester says as he reaches for my hand. I let him touch the top of my hand for a moment.I jerk my hand back as I
The Auction Lester
Lester POVI leave the bar leaving my beautiful wife behind to keep investigating her friend. I cannot take this much longer, being away from her is killing me slowly. As a vampire, being without my mate is going to cause me to die prematurely. We need to find a way to end this soon, no matter how we have to end it. I hated to send her away, but she was the only one that could do this. We, the few council members who know we are still married, thought this was the perfect cover. When the decision was made to send in my wife to uncover Jules' atrocities, it broke my heart into a thousand pieces. She, on the other hand, took the mission like a chance to prove herself. She wants the authority to see her differently and to know that she is worthy of being with me. It is not her that needs to prove anything. I will never feel like I deserve her or her love. She has always been loyal to the authority and should not have to do this for them to honor our marria
The Auction Just a little drama among vampires
Jules POVI go into the city looking for Jamie. Frenchman was not much help at all, or maybe he just not want to help me. I have a feeling he is working with Lester. I know he is hiding something from me, but I am not sure what just yet. He has not been the same to me since I was thrown out of the authority years ago. I could care less what he thinks or anyone else in the authority, but I need to find Jamie. I only need to find Jamie before he decides to start talking about things he knows nothing about. The little bastard better keep his mouth shut. He does not want me to shut it for him. I have to find him first.I spot Renae and Tara in a bar on Royale.

The Auction Renae and Lester
Draco POVTatina is terrified; hell, I am afraid. I am happy to see Renae and Lester here to help keep her calm and maybe put her mind somewhere else. Renae gets out of the car and is running straight into the house to see Tatina. Renae comes up to check on Tatina. I know it will be hard for Renae to see her like this. It is hard to see her, such a vibrant soul that Tatina is, and now she is weak. She will not be fragile for long; as her powers shift and her cravings grow, the doctor assures me that her powers will become stronger than ever after the babies are born. Her focus is not on her vampire transition or losing any of her identity as a fairy. Tatina is only focused on the two babies growing inside her, and as she changes, I can hear every thought in her head. She worries for them so much. It consumes her and makes it hard for her to care for herself. I guess that is most mothers."How is she?" Renae asks me
The Auction Tatina is turing
Tatina POVI awake in the bed alone and afraid. I feel strange, and maybe a little afraid of what is happening to me. I crave blood. It is like a burning desire that aches within me. I need blood. It is all I can think about right now and that loud thundering sound coming from within me. What is that? Why does it sound like there is a storm brewing inside of me?"Tatina, my love," Draco whispers to me from the bedroom door. I look up at him. He looks concerned and so devilishly handsome. I lick my lips and think Ummm I would love to drink from him. Blood, it is what I need, not sex, just blood!"I am so hungry, my love, and I hear this noise. It sounds like two thundering storms coming from within me. I am not sure what is going on with me. I am just so fucking hungry. I need blood. Please let me drink from you," I hiss at him.Draco opens the door and comes inside the bedroom. He looks more concerned as he comes into the room
The Auction Vampire Side
Draco POVTatina is still asleep when I get out of bed this morning. She was wild and on fire for me last night, which I enjoyed every second. We finally went to sleep when the sun was coming up this morning. I lay with her for a few hours and then decided to get things ready for our visitors today.Tatina has a million ideas for Lester and Renae. She is excited that they are taking over the hunt. If there is anyone that carries on in our place, it is Lester and Renae. I hope Tatina is serious about staying out of the hunt. We cannot put a child in danger. I will not do it. I will live for her and our child. I will do whatever is necessary to keep both of them safe.I go down the stairs and finish uncovering furniture. I can speed around and clean the house faster than she can. I cannot have her getting sick from the dust in the house. I finish the living room and go into the kitchen. I clean it up and then remember that she has to eat. I
The Auction The Mountains
Draco POVTatina and I arrive at a small cabin in the mountains. Lester was able to secure us a cottage when I called to tell him that Tatina was pregnant and we needed a place long term. Lester made a few phone calls for me and managed to find a nice big cabin far away from everyone.Tatina wanted off the radar, and this is definitely it. Tatina gets out of the car and walks around the cabin to see what it has to offer. "There are no neighbors," Tatina says."Nope, what am I going to eat?" I tease her."Me, I guess," she says, laughing."Lester is bringing up extra blood bags for me when He and Renae come up tomorrow," I say to her."Well, you can still eat me if you want," Tatina says, laughing. I love to see her laugh and be happy. This is the most comfortable I have seen her in a long time.I run over to her and pick her up. "I will gladly eat you anytime," I say. I nibble at her neck and carry her to the do
The Auction My LOVE
Draco POVWe all go back to Ronica’s place to gather ourselves and figure out what to do next. I have to get Tatina straight so we can get the hell out of hell. I am done with New Orleans and the vampire authority. I am sure she is too. We no longer have to worry about Samuel or Tara, but I still want to get her as far away as possible. I am sure there are pieces of Tara all over the yard from the explosion, along with a few people that were bidding on the auction. We were able to get everyone out safely that mattered. Lester called the authority building and reported the explosion at Horace’s place. I am sure there will be a cover-up. Samuel’s name will not be tarnished. The vampire authority would never take the fall or let one of their own take the fall. I could care less. I have Tatina back, and nothing else matters. She is my life.I take Tatina into the bed and breakfast. I take her straight to our room. I lay her on the b
The Auction Into the fire
Draco POVI awake early so I can get everything together before Tatina gets out of bed. I get out of bed quietly, so I do not wake her. I turn on the bathroom light to dress. I go to let Tatina know that I am going to check on Natie after I dress. She will need a few moments to wake up and get her a cup of coffee or a coke. I pull back the covers, and Tatina is not in bed. She must have gone to check on Natie. I cannot believe I did not realize she got out of bed. I must have slept hard last night. I dress quickly and go to Natie’s room to check on Natie and see if Tatina needs anything. I open the door, and Natie is gone. No Natie, No Jessie, and No Tatina, where is my wife? What the fuck is going on? I run to Lester’s room. I bang on the door. He opens the door in a panic.“Renae is gone,” he says as he opens the door frantically. Lester and I go to Ronica and Jessie's room to see if maybe they are all in there for some
The Auction Bump in the Night
I awake in the middle of the night. I cannot sleep. Draco is lying in the bed beside me and sleeping so sound. I have not seen him sleep this sound in a very long time. He deserves the sleep. Even though they are no longer human, Vampires still need sleep occasionally. It is a myth that they do not sleep. They do not need as much sleep as humans or hybrids, but they do not need some sleep here and there. Draco has always cuddled me at night, even if he does not sleep, but seeing him sleep so peacefully gives me a lot of comfort.I check the hotel room mini-fridge for a water. I want something, maybe a coke and some ice. I grab the ice bucket and quietly slip out of the room. I walk down to the ice machine and start filling up the ice bucket when I hear a strange noise and a yelp. It almost sounds like a person, but it is weak. I listen for a moment, and the sound stops.I take the ice bucket, walk over to the Coke machine, and get a coke out of i
The Auction Now What
Lester POVI leave the authority building; I need to get home to Renae as quickly as possible. I do not want her stressed out worrying about me when she should only be concentrating on her own recovery. I am still in shock over Samuel and Tara, but too many people are saying it is true now. Renae will be devastated if she is not already.I decided to drive myself. I do not want an authority spy watching me, and no one needs to know where I am going or why. I do not think I have driven since I became a high member of the council. I am sure I will be fine. It cannot be that hard. I get into one of the black sedans. They can trace my whereabouts in these, fuck. I pull out my phone and call a cab. I go to the side street to wait for the taxi. Guess I will not see if I can still drive just yet.As I am waiting, I notice a woman that looks a lot like Tara looking at me. She is watching me. I pretend not to see her. No way in hell I am taking her
The Auction Her Story
Draco POVTatina and Ronica leave me alone with my thoughts. I know I am having a lot of ideas right now. Mostly about how I would like to kill Samuel for what he has done. He is supposed to be protecting people, not making money off of these people. The bastard needs to die, but that would force Tatina and me to go on the run. There has to be a way to make him pay for all of what he has done to these women.The lady starts moving around in the bed. “Where am I?” she asks grumbling and trying to figure out if she is safe or not.“You are safe,” I say.She looks over at me, terrified. “I am not going to hurt you. I am Draco. My wife Tatina is here also. I can get her if you are afraid of me,” I say to her calmly. I know seeing a vampire after being held by one can be a little overwhelming.“Tatina is here. Can I see her? I have heard stories about her,” she says.“Ye
