Chapter Twenty-One

It was a beautiful night to die.

Kimber hesitated for only a second as the chauffeur swept open the door of the Rolls Royce for her.

Oh God, you’re starting to think like a vampire.

Nya barked her agreement.

She picked up the hem of her satin evening gown and got in. She’d had hours, days to think about what she was doing, and now she was at the point of overthinking it.

Stefan had said so, even while he only had the non-UA details. He thought she was dressing up in a designer gown to meet Shain for their first night of their romantic weekend together.

She was.

But also, to meet Mr. Tanaka…to lead him to think Shain had a shiya at his service, something that had to be rare and different in and of itself. To have Kimber offer her blood to him, willingly.

That too.

And so she could experience a vampire’s bite, something she was sure no other shifter had ever asked for. Secretly, she wanted to prove a shiya’s courage to another vampire, an old, elite one at that. Courage she drew from love, not fear.

Oh yes, she was dressed up for more than what Stefan imagined.

Her friend had enthusiastically helped her with everything. The shopping. The hair. The makeup. The accessories. Without him, she would’ve been hopelessly overwhelmed. It wasn’t until she and Stefan had arrived for their appointment—with the personal shopper Shain had arranged—did the woman inform them Kimber had no spending limit.

She wasn’t comfortable getting more than what she needed, but Stefan had been very comfortable, and insisted she get shoes, earrings, handbags, lingerie, and other “essentials.”

When the sum had been tallied, she’d choked on her own air.

And Stefan had stepped on her foot. “Shush. From what you told me, he won’t bat an eye. I bet one of his suits costs more than all of this combined.”

He was probably right, but still.

It took over two hours for Stefan to be satisfied with her makeup and hair, and two hours for her to drive to the villa where a chauffeur waited to bring her to yet another location. She barely had a moment to take in the luxury estate where they were spending the next three nights before she was whisked away.

She stared out the rear window until it was out of sight.

They had the entire place to themselves? Even in the dark, the villa was beyond anything she’d ever stayed in before.

“Are you cool enough back there, Miss?” the chauffeur asked.

“I am. Thank you.” No matter how much A/C blew on her skin, anxiety kept her body heat at high.

“I’m sorry, I almost forgot. This is for you. From Mr. Trevyn.” A piece of paper between his fingers appeared over the back of the seat.

She reached for the note. “Thank you.”

Kimber drew in a breath and relaxed, a smile touching her lips, Shain’s words touching her heart.

Nothing will happen that you do not approve of. Please be assured that you are in total control, Kimber.

You have only to say the word.
