Chapter Thirteen

The rest of the afternoon went similarly. There were only three cases in which ultimate punishment need be seriously applied. It was three cases too many in his opinion. Really, what was so difficult about adhering to some simple laws? What made a vampire willing to put his life on the line for a small infraction?

In his opinion he was far too generous his first day. However, he would ease his way in. He would catch on to the rhythm of things and be able to exert more influence.

Yes. He would fit in well here.

It was late afternoon before he made it back to his office. They had heard a total of seven cases that afternoon. That was a pretty good pace. But then again three of them had been cut and dried and two had barely been worth their time. He realized that not every afternoon would move at such a speedy, productive clip.

Committee days were not every day. Most of his time would rightly be spent at the queen's side. The reasoning was twofold. One, to protect and serve her. Two, to advise and support her and to keep abreast of all important issues in the vampire nation. Vampires served a five-day week, just as humans did, taking the weekend off…ideally. If Simone was anything like Leopold, she would have a hard time shutting off from her work…and being queen was no doubt a twenty-four/seven occupation.

Marcus crossed the reception area in front of Simone’s office and gave a wink to Darcy.

“She in there?” he asked.

“Always,” Darcy said with a sigh.

“Mind if I…?”

“Go right in,” she said.

Marcus grinned and walked up to the double wooden doors leading into Simone’s office. He hesitated only briefly before going in, taking a moment to put on his best professional face. He had been thinking about her nearly nonstop since he had left her that morning. He continually kept getting flashes of memory that would distract him at the damnedest times. The smell of her hair. The smooth feel of her thigh. The weight of her lush breast. The succulent way she tasted. All of this would swell in his head until he found himself daydreaming. He’d been caught out twice during committee today for the distracting thoughts. Nothing anyone really noticed…just brief flashes of interference.

He opened the door to her office and walked in.

The first thing to hit him was the smell of her perfume. She wore a sultry scent that mixed potently with her body chemistry, making the aroma uniquely hers. Since she had spent so many hours cooped up nonstop in her office that day the scent was concentrated.

The next thing to hit him was the sight of her. She was standing beside her desk, her back to him, bending at the waist to replace her shoe on her foot. Why it was off in the first place he had no idea, but what it resulted in was a fine view of her derriere and the long length of her hair hanging in the open air, a gleaming curtain of red-gold.
