Chapter Eleven

Aimery, Ryle and I waited in the lobby, next to the statue of Benedict, for Denny and Gaspare.

Order members flocked past, some stared at me, some stopped to say hello. Each one raised their nose as though trying to catch my scent.

Ryle and Aimery flanked me. Ryle had his hand pressed into the small of my back and Aimery’s fingers twined with mine. I was glad my men were there. All these vampires in one place and knowing what a delicacy my Bombay blood was had given me an increased sense of vulnerability. I was also grateful for the lily of the valley spray Aimery had been so liberal with. I sensed it did exactly what he’d said, masked the scent of my rare blood.

“You’re quite safe,” Ryle said. “They will not disrespect the fact that we have claimed you.”

“But what about Elfrida?” I asked as the lobby became quiet and empty. “She seemed particularly unhappy about me being here.”

“It’s not you being here that she’s unhappy about,” Ryle said.

“So what is it?” The door to the chamber shut with a heavy bang and I realized we were now alone. “And what did she mean about Asia?”

Aimery glanced over his shoulder and then looked down at me with a slight frown. “Ryle and I were in Calcutta, traveling, ninety years ago.”

“Ninety-five,” Ryle said.

Aimery rubbed his bottom lip. “Mmm, yes you’re right.” He paused. “Ninety-five. We’d been conducting Order business regarding the pack when we met Natifa.”

“Natifa, the woman Elfrida mentioned you’d shared.” My jaw tensed. It wasn’t that I was jealous, just curious that this was something they’d done before. It certainly was new to me, having two lovers.

“Yes, the very same, except it was so much more than that.” Aimery paused. “She was our wife.”

“Our wife. What, like you both married her?” I couldn’t keep the surprise from my voice.

“She was very special,” Ryle said. “Like you.”

“And as with you we were both drawn to her; we both had to have her,” Aimery said. “Apart from anything else she needed saving from an abusive teacher who, because she was an orphan, was exploiting his power when he was supposed to be caring for her.”

“Mmm, he didn’t last long,” Ryle said, with a menacing glint in his eye.

I could just imagine the end this man would have come to and shook my head to rid the image. “A teacher?” I asked. “How old was she then, when you met her?”

“Fifteen,” Ryle said.

“But of course we respected that, nothing happened between us sexually until she was of age,” Aimery added.

“In fact we waited until our wedding night,” Ryle said, licking his lips. “Before we all took pleasure from one another and consummated our union.”

A tremble of desire snaked up my spine. I was glad I hadn’t had to wait years for Ryle and Aimery to give me pleasure. I would have surely died of impatience. “So what happened to her?” I asked. As I spoke I wondered if I really wanted to know the answer.
