She walked into his outstretched arms. “Thanks for your vote of confidence,” she said as she pressed her cheek against his chest.

“Mm, you smell good,” he murmured. His embrace tightened and Sam was startled to feel his erection growing.

She laughed softly, her insides flaring to life. She pulled herself out of his arms and looked up at his handsome face. “We can’t,” she said.

“Why not? Veronica has Maria engrossed downstairs on one of her latest adventures. We have about fifteen minutes.”

Sam smiled and leaned up to kiss him on the mouth. “I’ve already been up here fifteen minutes, and it would be rude to keep your guest waiting.”

He dropped his hands to his sides. “You are right, but nothing will prevent me from taking you to bed right after dinner.”

Sam laughed as he reached for her hand and led her downstairs.

Dinner was promptly served after they all took their seats, with Leo at the head of the table and Sam and Veronica on each side.

“Veronica, you said you are a hybrid,” Sam commented, curious about the woman.

Veronica reached for her wine. “Yes. I was a lycan long before I met Van.” Her striking blue eyes clouded. “He was a beautiful vampire and I fell in love. I asked him to turn me so I could share with him his vampire ways. I had two hundred passionate years with him.”

“What happened?” Sam asked quietly.

Veronica’s face hardened. “He was killed with a stake through his heart during one of Desmond’s raids.” Sam looked confused and Veronica continued. “Desmond was Garos’s predecessor. He ruled for three hundred years before we destroyed him. During one intense battle, Leo shot Desmond with quicksilver. As Desmond lay on the ground reverting to his human form, one of Leo’s human soldiers stabbed him in the heart with silver. Leo was livid because he wanted to take Desmond as a prisoner and interrogate him. He wanted to find out if there were anymore of Desmond’s cells operating.”

Engrossed, Sam asked, “What happened?”

Veronica shrugged. “Leo had his soldier expelled from his family because he disobeyed Leo’s direct command to take Desmond alive.” Veronica paused, her nose wrinkling with distaste. “That’s where I came in. A vampire has the power to not only read minds, but to alter them, as well. Basically, I removed all knowledge from this soldier’s mind of anything to do with his information on Leo and his family. The whole process gave me a migraine. I left all his memories in tact up to the point where he joined Leo’s family.”

“Oh.” Sam pondered over this information and flicked a nervous gaze to Leo. There was still so much about him she didn’t know and she wondered if she wanted to. Leo gave Sam a long, solemn look.

“Veronica,” he growled, his gaze remaining fastened on Sam. “You’re frightening my one.”

“Don’t be silly, my darling. Your one is fine. She’s a lot tougher than you think.” Veronica paused as Maria cleared the dinner plates. “Oh, how is William, Leo? I haven’t spoken to him in ages.
