Many hours later Nikolai returned to his room, having seen to all his brother’s demands. They had been unusually course this evening. Whatever had happened in the empress’ bedroom had sullied his mood. Nikolai suspected Dmitri had not been able to perform for the demanding woman. It would explain why one of Nikolai’s more detestable tasks had been to retrieve a whore from the city for his brother’s satisfaction.

Nikolai entered his room, surprised to find Marina lounging across his bed, reading his private journal. For the most part the book contained nothing but business dealings concerning the estate, but occasionally he had use the outlet to release all his pent up feelings.

She smiled up at him in a way that convinced him she had found those secret entries.

“When do we leave?” he asked before he could censure his words.

As he spoke he realized he didn’t want to take back the harried question. He was done running errands for his worthless brother. Nikolai was ready to live his own life.

Marina’s smile brightened. “We can leave tomorrow night. But there is something we must do first.”

“What?”

“I must change you into a vampire like me. I can’t stand traveling with a human. You’re just too tempting.”

“Fine,” he snapped.

Nikolai wanted to do whatever it would take to keep himself from backing out. If they couldn’t leave until the next sunset he might change his mind, but if she changed him into a vampire he would have no choice but to join her on a journey.

Nikolai wondered when he had come to accept the reality of vampires, but decided she had readily proven their existence. Before he could blink she was off the bed and beside him. She didn’t give him a chance to change his mind but sunk her sharp teeth into his neck, through his cravat. Nikolai winced at the pain but remained stationary as she slipped her fingers into his hair.

As he began to feel weak, she lowered him to the ground, still drinking. Nikolai was just beginning to descend into unconsciousness when he felt something wet against his lips. Instinctually he licked at the liquid. It tasted as though it was exactly what he had been longing for, without realizing he even had a craving.
