2024-10-29 19:42:56As we turned down the Las Vegas strip, I started to relax, knowing that we were finally almost home. I squeezed Leila’s hand as we pulled down the long driveway leading to Caprice Casino and Club Moroii. It was already dark outside, but the castle exterior was illuminated as flood lights shone upon it, changing colors from blue to red, purple to pink, and every color of the rainbow. The lighting accented the exquisite façade of the castle. I had it built in the likeness of Camelot, designed by King Arthur himself. Long ago, I had found his plans for Camelot and had kept them safe until the time was right to build an exact replica. The outbuildings matched the castle perfectly.
The bottom part of the castle was Caprice Casino, which was open to humans. However, the top floors of Club Moroii were reserved strictly for vampires, witches, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures. My private suites were located in the penthouse. All manner of supernatural creature

A few moments later, Leila pulled back, satisfied as she ran a finger across her lips. “Feel better, love?”She nodded, settling back onto the couch.I stroked her hair away from the side of her face, watching her, mesmerized by her beauty. “Leila, what would you like to name the baby?”She opened her eyes. “My grandmother’s names were Celeste and Sirena.” She shrugged. “Maybe we could choose one of their names?”“What was your mother’s name?” I asked, softly stroking the side of her face.She laughed. “Tabitha.” She shifted her body to face me, propping her elbow on the back of the couch. “What was your mother’s name?”I smiled. “Marie,” I replied. “My grandmother’s names were Mary and Claire.”“I like the name Marie …” she said, thinking aloud.“I really like the name Sir

I scooped her into my arms and rolled her over, then pressed my lips to hers, moving with hers, opening my mouth and taking her in. Passion overtook us both as I pushed into her hot, wet pussy, over and again, as she wrapped her arms and legs around me, pulling me closer. I kissed down her neck and pulled her spaghetti-strapped gown down her perfect shoulder. Claiming her breast with my mouth, I sucked it in and raised it to a peak, and then licked it quickly with the point of my tongue as her breath quickened. I pulled her straps down on the other side and let my teeth graze over her other nipple as she arched her back in ecstasy. She threw her head back as I sucked on her nipple, tonguing it as I sucked, as I moved quickly in and out of her tight pussy, not knowing how much longer I could last. But within minutes, her walls clamped down around my cock and I covered her screams with my mouth, sending me over the edge as my come filled her to completion.“Good morning,&

I had a feeling that there was more to the story, but now wasn’t the time. “Kellen, listen,” I said, looking up to make sure that Leila wasn’t within earshot. “We were attacked by vampires in Aruba.”“What?” Kellen was immediately on his feet with his fists clenched at his side. “What happened?”I shook my head, reliving the memory. “Kellen, before I tell you, I want to make one thing clear. I don’t want to discuss it in front of Leila. She’s already been through enough.”“Yes, of course.”I looked toward the bathroom door, and I could hear the shower still running. “I only have a minute.”He nodded as he sat down on the edge of his seat, clutching his hands together, concerned.“They weren’t just any vampires,” I began, leaning forward.“The Outsiders?” he asked, already knowing where I was going w

As we sat down at the table, Leila had poured me a cup of coffee and had it setting on the table for me. Then, she placed homemade pancakes and a bottle of syrup on the table, and a Sippy cup with blood in it for Jase. She handed it to him and he started drinking it down immediately. A moment later, Leila joined us and we had our first family breakfast in our own home.“That was delicious,” I said, pushing myself back from the table. “And it looks as if someone else enjoyed it, too.”Jase had made a mess of his pancakes and was wearing most of them, but it was obvious that he had enjoyed it immensely. “Good!” he said, as if right on cue.Leila laughed as she reached for him. “You go ahead and do what you have to do. Jase and I are going to clean up.”I stopped her. “No; Angela and your beauty squad will be here shortly.” I took Jase out of his highchair. While we were away, Angela had taken it up

Everyone laughed as they waved their goodbyes at the door. “I’m so lucky to have such good people,” I said as I closed the door.Leila laughed. “You mean, we are lucky.”“I stand corrected.” Suddenly, Jase started cooing from the bedroom. He rarely cried. “I’ll get him, but I have something that I want to show you.”I headed toward the bedroom to get Jase and heard Leila laugh from the kitchen. As I walked into the bedroom, standing in his crib was Jase. “Hey, little man. Want to see something special?”He cooed excitedly and clapped his hands as I lifted him from the crib.“And what, pray tell, is that?” Leila asked from behind me.I laughed as I dressed Jase. “You are worse than a child at Christmas, are you not?”She snuggled to my shoulder. “Hum … I like it when you talk ‘knight’ to me.”I laughed.

Leila nodded, understanding. “You still want to become human again, don’t you?”“Yes,” I said. “Then, after I’m human, we can disappear and live a human life with our children.”Leila smiled. “Well, semi-human,” she said, thinking of the blood that Jase and Sirena would need to survive.I shrugged. “Amy is a dhampir and she lives a human life.”“As much as she can,” Leila corrected, remembering her involvement in the Werewolf-Vampire War. She was on our side, thank goodness. I cringed at the memory. Because of her, I was able to find Leila in time, and Amy had stayed with her until I could find her. I quickly pushed the thought aside. “When would you like to interview the nannies?”“I thought we could do that this afternoon, but do not make any plans for tonight,” I said, rubbing Jase’s back absently. He had fallen asleep on my shoulder

When I walked back in, Leila was sitting on the couch, sipping her blood, and in dire need of a nap. “I phoned Amy while you were out,” she said. “She can see me tomorrow.” Then, she thought for a moment. “When are you going back to work?”I picked up my long-stemmed glass filled with blood, sat down beside her, and took a sip. “Not until you and Jase are settled.” I slid my arm around her and looked into her eyes. “I want to make sure that you’re safe first.”“But what about your business at the hospital with Drake?” she asked as she took another sip of blood.I shrugged. “He can handle everything while I’m gone. He’s keeping the deliveries coming here from the hospital. I’ll go in soon to finalize what I need to when I can.”Leila took a deep breath. “Lance, you don’t have to do that.”“Shush,” I said, placing

I couldn’t take his abuse anymore, and I left him and took your children with me.”“It’s a lie!”“Lance, wait!” I held my hand up, stopping her. “What if she’s telling the truth?” Then I turned to Selestra. “So, give us the children. Once they’re safe, then we’ll talk.”Selestra nodded. “Agreed.” She motioned for Jase and Addie to go to us, and they both rushed toward me and hugged me.“She’s alone,” Addie whispered, keeping her voice so low only I could hear.I nodded once. “Jase, Sirena, go home with Raven. we’ll talk when we get there.”Jase looked between us and said, “Be safe.”Lance pulled them both in for a quick hug, making it look good.

Leila“I spoke with Kellen,” Lance said, quickly crossing the room. “He’s called an emergency and is locking down the castle as we speak. He’s also agreed to stay with Sirena and Emma, too.” He let out a deep breath, placing his hands on his hips. “It may be overkill, but I don’t care. Sirena needs all the protection we can give her.”A moment later, there was a knock on the door.Lance held up his hand to me and quickly crossed the room. He looked through the peephole, opened the door, and extended his hand to Emma. “Thanks for this. I’m so sorry we had to phone you on such short notice.”“Not a problem. I’m glad to help.” She walked in dressed in a pair of jeans, a floral shirt, and boots, similar to what I was wearing. I was sure she had come prepared to fight, too.“Thank you so much for this.” I pulled her in for a quick hug. “After Kellen locks down the castle, he’ll come stay with you.”Emma nodded. “That’s fine.” She pointed down the hallway. “Is Sirena in the family room?”I

Leila“What do you mean ‘they’re missing?’” Lance demanded, taking a step closer.Raven took a deep breath, the most flustered I’d ever seen her. “After dinner, they were dismissed and were in their common rooms. One of the other students said that Jase got a call... from you.” Her head snapped up toward me. “So, he stepped out into the hallway with Addie and never came back in.”“From me?” I asked in disbelief, shaking my head. “It wasn’t me.”“Well, the student said your number popped up on his phone.” Raven shook her head. “I’m so sorry—”“Who was the student?” I asked.Raven let out a deep breath. “Kian Medine. The Medine family is important in the witch community and very trustworthy.”I nodded. “Can you do a locator spell on him like you did last time?”“That’s what I planned to do.” She looked into Lance’s eyes. “I knew you would want to be present.”Lance nodded. “Thank you.” He gritted his teeth. “If Raif and Selestra have them, there will be no place they can hide.

LeilaI nodded. “I know you will.” I rose to my feet and pulled her in for a hug. “My husband and I will discuss this and will get back to you. Thank you for coming.”“Would you like to meet our daughter before you go?” Lance asked.Emma nodded. “Yes, please.” Her eyes brightened. It was clear that she loved children.I nodded. Whether or not we hired her, what harm could it do to introduce Emma to Sirena? “Right this way.”I walked down the hallway, and Emma walked beside me as Lance followed behind. When we entered the family room, Sirena was playing Chess alone, switching seats at each turn. It was the funniest thing I’d ever seen. Then guilt filled my chest for not having anyone her age to occupy her. “Sirena, honey, I’d like you to meet someone.”Sirena looked up and smiled, her game forgotten as she crossed the room purposefully toward Emma and thrust out her hand. “Hello. My name is Sirena. What’s your name?”“My name is Emma.” She tilted her head to the side, smiling. So, you

LeilaEmma sat on the edge of her seat and smiled, folding her arms on her lap. “My name is Emma Fitzroy.” She had the type of British accent that I could listen to all day.Lance’s head snapped up, a crease between his eyes. “Fitzroy? As in ‘the bastard son of a king?’”“Lance!” I scoffed, unable to believe what he had just said.“Please, pardon me, both of you.” Lance looked over at me and smiled. “The word was more commonly used in our time. Please, forgive me.”I nodded cautiously. “It’s okay.”But Emma smiled, unaffected. “It’s okay. I used to hear it all the time years ago. But not many people know the meaning or connotation today.”Lance nodded. “So, who was your father?”She let out a deep breath. “My father was King Henry I, and I am one of his illegitimate children.”My eyes nearly bugged out of my head, but miraculously, I maintained my composure. “Could you explain that to us? I mean, how did you come to be in our coven?”She nodded. “I was born the twenty-sixth of June, i

LeilaLance let out a deep breath. “After hearing everything, the Council agreed with my reasoning. They couldn’t believe all the threats Raif had leveled against you and the children, and they agreed that if he defeated me, he would also take over the Council, the vampire world, and the rest of the supernatural creatures. When I told them he wanted to be king, they agreed that we can’t let that happen.”“Well, let’s eat, and then you can take a shower before Emma gets here.” I made a sandwich out of a biscuit, an egg, and a slice of bacon.Lance laughed. “What are you doing?”“I used to do this all the time when I was human.” I picked it up and took a bite. “You should try it! It’s good!”“Can I have some?” Sirena asked, looking at my biscuit sandwich with curiosity.“Sure!” I slid her onto my lap and made her a sandwich with the other biscuit, egg, and bacon. Lance got up and made another one for me and warmed up a bag of blood for her.“Here you go!” I handed her the biscuit sandw

LeilaLance raised up and kissed my shoulder, smiling as he laced his fingers through my hair. “Why don’t you shower, and I’ll fix the coffee?” He traced lazy circles over my body, raising my nipples to peaks and sending chills over my body. “I would take a shower with you, but Sirena will be up in a few minutes, and her seeing her mommy and daddy naked may cause unnecessary trauma.” He chuckled. “It’ll cost me a fortune in therapy for the rest of her life.”I laughed, running my fingers through his dark brown wavy hair. “We really need to find her a nanny.”He laughed. “Yes, we do.” Then his lips descended upon mine in a passionate kiss as my tongue swiped over his, all heat and desire. He pulled back a moment later and gave me one last sweet kiss. Then he slid out of bed and slipped into his sleeping shorts and a white T-shirt.“Ahh,” I moaned, reaching for him. “Come back to bed.”He chuckled, one corner of his lips curling into a sexy smile. “You don’t know how tempting that is.”

An answer of Nay will be against.” I looked around the room. “Xander.”“Yay.”I nodded. “Drake.”“Yay.”“Annette.”“If he would go so far as to threaten you and your family and then take over the Council, then my answer is Yay,” she replied.I nodded. “Felicia.”She let out a deep breath, a crease forming between her eyes. It was clear that she was not making her decision lightly. “Yay.”“So, it’s unanimous. We will stand and fight. I appreciate your support.” I placed my hands on the table as I leaned forward. “I’ll coordinate with you and will let you know when we plan to attack. But as of this moment, we are at war with Raif Cavanaugh, Leader of the East Coven.” I let out a deep breath. “I asked Chef Faustino to prepare a special buffet for you. So, please. Enjoy.” I motioned toward the buffet lined up against the wall, filled with all sorts of delicacies incl

LanceLeila and I went through several applicants for Sirena’s nanny but didn’t find anyone suitable. The successful applicant needed to be a vampire with fighting skills, capable of protecting Sirena during a crisis. He or she would also have to have good nanny and child nurturing skills. Not an easy combination to find in one person.“So, did you have any luck finding a nanny for Sirena?” A smile spread across Kellen’s face as we headed toward the main conference room for the meeting with the Supernatural Council, consisting of the heads of all the covens and packs in Las Vegas.I scoffed. “No. Not yet. It’s proving to be as difficult as it was to find a nanny and protector for Jase.”Kellen nodded, stopping just outside the door. “I think I may have a solution for you.”“Oh?” My eyebrows shot up.“I know a young woman that reminds me a lot of Addie, but she was a little older when she was turned.”“How old was she?”“Eighteen,” he replied. “I think Addie was sixteen when she was tu
