Chapter Fourteen

Ray planned to drive over with Devlin.

Samuel let them leave first. He wanted a moment alone with Thalya. He still didn’t like the idea of her coming with them tomorrow night. She didn’t seem to enjoy confrontation, but she wanted to help. Besides, they might need her. Aside from himself, her strength surpassed any of the other hunters and as an olden, more than a match for the other soulless. Her presence could help save the lives of some of his men and women.

They also needed to talk. When he’d seen her fangs earlier, he’d been shocked. At first. He never thought he’d be turned on by a bloodsucker. But fangs or not, he still wanted her. He didn’t like the idea of her feeding off anyone else’s emotions. If his desire for her filled her, then she could damn well feed off him. They’d have to work on the whole biting his neck and taking his blood thing. The thought, surprisingly, was not as repugnant as it should have been. She already felt like a part of him. A part he feared he very much needed.

In the hundreds of years he’d been alive, he’d never felt this way about a woman. He didn’t plan on walking away, not this time and he damn sure wasn’t going to let her walk away from him.

After picking up her jacket, he handed it to her. When she reached to take it, he caught her wrist and pulled her to him. Damn, the air left his lungs. His own personal angel on earth. “Just so we’re clear. You and I are not done.” Holding her by the nape of her neck, he kissed her. This time, he tried to suck out her life essence and take it into himself for safe keeping, binding her to him. Then an odd thing happened. He felt a tingling in his soul as if something inside him awakened and reached out for her. He pulled back.

Surprisingly, unlike his dream, he felt no fear, only a sense of rightness. “Yeah. Later,” he whispered against her lush lips. “We’ll finish this later. Come on.”

“Don’t I have a say here?” she asked.

“No.” He brushed his thumb across her plump lips and she kissed his fingers. He groaned as a rush of pleasure coursed through his body. A feeling he could get very used too. Taking her hand, he led her out of the house and to his garage. His bike stood on one side and a four door black Ford hybrid took up the rest of the room.

“Are we taking the bike?” she asked.

“Not to this neighborhood. That’s what the Ford’s for, it attracts less attention and it’s usually the car I use when I hunt.”

It took a little more than half-an hour for them to make it to the docks. They parked a few blocks away from the warehouse—no trouble getting a parking space in this part of town—and approached it on foot. It didn’t take them long to see they were not alone.
