Rebecca dug into the food the guys had set out on the table before her. “Why didn’t you all wake me up earlier?” she asked them.

They were sitting outside in the courtyard. The three men had set up a table and were seated with her. They had prepared a breakfast, although it was three in the afternoon. Rebecca’s appetite was ravenous. She wolfed down the scrambled eggs and sausage links. There was a fruit plate of pineapples, oranges, and bananas, and she attacked this with equal fervor. After every second or third mouthful, she would wash it down with a big gulp of grapefruit juice. She was about to finish the whole pitcher of juice, and she wasn’t even halfway into her meal yet.

Eating outside under the sky in the warm afternoon air of the desert was like a precious gift to her. She felt like she could conquer the world. That was just how it had been yesterday, although the sensation was multiplied by ten this afternoon. The vampire blood was really doing its job.

“We thought we’d let you sleep,” Ramos told her.

“We figured you could use the rest after your night with Peter,” Tex said.

“So tell us what you think of our undead host?” Ian asked.

Rebecca scooped up a couple pineapple slices from her plate and placed them in her mouth to chew. The juice ran down her chin. Peter had told her to eat lots of healthy food, and her body was now craving the nutrients.

“Well, he doesn’t scare me anymore,” she told them. “If I could get past the part about him trying to kill me, I might actually like him.”

“Great bloody hell,” Ian swore. “He’s never tried to kill any of the other girls he’s bedded.”

“Apparently I’m the lucky girl he picked to fall in love with.” Rebecca didn’t feel lucky at all. In a way, she felt there was a tragedy unfolding here. If Peter had only not been a vampire, she thought, but couldn’t let her mind run in that direction.

“You know he really isn’t trying to kill you,” Tex pointed out to her. “He just wants to make you one of his own kind.”

“Some girls might not mind so much,” Ramos said. “There are a lot of perks that go along with being a vampire. You are the first human he has ever offered this to. He must be truly in love with you to do so.”

“He says he is in love with me.” Rebecca poured herself another glass of pineapple juice. “Only he isn’t offering me a choice. He’s determined to make me a vampire whether I like it or not.”

“And like the sensible, bourgeois American girl you don’t want that.” She didn’t know whether to take the big Australian seriously or not. He always had a sparkle in his eye when he spoke.

“No thanks,” she told him. “I have a life outside of this castle and a family. I hope to be an anchorwoman someday and maybe get married and have a family of my own.
