~Sunny’s Point of View~Godfrey was finally opening up to me, finally making an effort to get to know me. I couldn’t freak out, I couldn’t show my age and be a bubbly little girl, no. That would just turn him off. Confidence, strong, but sexy. I can do this!“My turn,” he said, pulling my arms down from his neck and taking my hand once more.We began walking again.“Describe your perfect partner,” he said.I wanted to snort and just say, you … duh. No, he probably wouldn’t believe me.“My perfect partner is … my best friend. My lover, my confidant. He holds me and makes me feel safe and loved. He is patient with me, I know I can be difficult,” I admitted.“Difficult is the same as a brat,” he asked.It took every ounce of restraint not to bend down and get a handful of sand to throw in his face. Like he would let me get away with it. If I thought my brothers were quick with stuff like that, a vampire would stop me before I even got it in my hands.“Ha, ha ha! Aren’t you hilarious,” I s
~Godfrey’s Point of View~ She couldn’t possibly understand what she was asking. Potentially three hundred years, stuck with me, dealing with me and my petulant ways? Dealing with my insatiable thirst? I could hear her wolf purring in contentment, purring at our closeness. She was daring me, egging me on and I wasn’t at all sure what to think about it. I didn’t let any other being control me. Was I already too late for that? I'd had many humans beg me for things. Money, power … my blood. I dismissed them all as unworthy of my attention. I'd never given them another thought. Could I walk away right now, could I leave her? Could I live with breaking her heart, live with the possibility that I would forever be the reason for her tears? The biggest question I had to face was … could I stand to see her with another? Simply … no. I'd lose any semblance of my mind that was left. Then the council would have me on trial. I forced my fangs away and kissed her, slowly. I dropped my body d
~Sunny’s Point of View~ Tonight had been the most salacious and unbelievable night of my life and it was far from over. The sheer magnitude of it all was making me insane. Ember couldn’t stand it, she was all over the place. I knew I was kind of … a horny girl but this … knowing that I could have this level of pleasure, of excitement, of blissful torture everyday? Ohh… my Goddess. Godfrey convinced me to play with myself on the beach, but half way through I got off my back and on all fours, and then on only three, he was behind me, taking over. I certainly knew about oral sex, I knew what it was and all that … the mechanics. But I had no idea of the feeling, the sensations, and I really had no clue about it … in my other spot. At first it freaked me out, I couldn’t understand why he thought it was a good idea. But after less than a minute, I quickly understood and I had an orgasm that was ten times what he’d given me before. Soon after I calmed down, we were back in his apartme
~Two Years Later~ ~Sunny’s Point of View~ Damn, I’ll never get tired of this view. I licked my lips and stared at my sexy mate. We were swimming in a waterfall in the rainforest at Kaieteur Falls, Guyana. Perks of having a vampire mate! Godfrey jumped in, in all his naked glory. I giggled and swam to meet him. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to be with this amazing creature, and to have him love me and take care of literally my every need. It took a long time but I finally convinced Godfrey to stop levitating as much, and to try and embrace a bit more human-like behavior with me. The way he moved, so quick and suddenly, scared me sometimes and just made me dizzy. The old Godfrey never would have jumped in a waterfall and playfully splashed me like this, how very human-like. I was definitely rubbing off on him. “Hmmm,” I moaned into his mouth, kissing him. I quickly wrapped my legs around him, and felt his erection spring to life. When we were close, really touching at all, it
~River’s Point of View~Godfrey often picked me to personally investigate matters with him, since I touted myself as the best. But this was far more personal. Once I was briefed by my dad on the facts as they knew them so far, a huge knot formed in my stomach. “I know you’ll get to the bottom of this River, and I have to hope like hell there’s some other reason for this senseless tragedy. I … trust Godfrey, I do. I see how unbelievably happy he’s made Sunny. He would never extinguish that. She means the world to him,” my dad said. Why did I feel the tiniest sliver of doubt in his voice?“I agree but you have to admit it’s always been a concern in the back of your mind,” I replied.He sighed and took a long pause.“Of course it has been. I never wondered what type of mate any of my kids would have, I took for granted you would all have a shifter mate. But now … it’s all I think about for Meadow. Your mother prays to the Goddess every night she finds a good mate that will love her and
~River's Point of View~“Ms. Gonzalez, I need you to understand that I am a representative of the council and any information you give me needs to be true and correct. Lying to me is the same as lying to them. The penalty for a vampire lying to the council is two years chained with silver in a coffin. Do you understand and swear to be forthright,” I asked.“Yes, Mr. Black, I fully intended to cooperate,” she said, with a slight Caribbean accent. Damn I was good!“Good, let’s get started. Please tell me how you first met Vincent Lopez and how you came to make him vampire,” I said.“I met Vincent at Runaway Bay, in Jamaica. He was a trader, spices and such. He was simply dashing and I couldn’t help but follow him. Several nights I did so and one night he was walking back to his cabin from dinner when a pirate jumped on him, beat him up badly and stole his money. I fought myself on whether to interfere, I know we are not to involve ourselves in human matters but I was just so … taken with
~Godfrey’s Point of View~When a vampire turns a human, it is customary that the maker and child are buried together for the night. That way, when the new vampire arises the following evening they will have things explained and be led on a guided hunt.However, since Vincent was quickly arrested, one of the Queen’s progenies took to ground with the girl. I had just finished digging them about halfway up when I sensed some stirring beneath the dirt.I had rounded up a few small game and had them caged and waiting. I would relieve the babysitter and take over. I looked around at the Queen’s meticulously manicured backyard and knew she would be furious about the giant hole. Vampire thoughts and emotions, first and foremost. Vanity.I dug a bit more until I saw a male hand trying to reach out. I lunged for it, and pulled him up. He was holding the girl around his chest. I had to speak to the girl myself, I had to know from her point of view. It was literally making me mad.“I am councilor
~Godfrey’s Point of View~I was just informed by Sunny’s security detail about a witch tailing her. What the devil? I doubled her security, adding in a witch. Sunny sketched a picture of the woman and we began circulating it. I was still in South America and needed to finish my work so I demanded she be confined to the grounds.I also went ahead and commissioned a witch to check in on Fiona, just to make sure that stupid hag wasn’t up to something. She was just a human now but you could never trust a witch, especially one with a grudge.If there was even the remote chance Fiona was up to something, I’d send Dina personally to squash her and anyone helping her.“How close are you to wrapping things up River, I want to head back tonight,” I said, popping my head into the sitting room he’d commandeered. “I’ve been struggling to find the girl’s mother, she is the last one to interview other than Vincent,” he said, moving around some papers.“Hmm, so if we forgo her for now and let the Que
