Chapter Seven

A sharp crack of a whip and the carriage lurched forward. Raphael checked the rooflines of the buildings he could see outside the window and heaved a sigh of relief at finding them empty. In any case, if she had been intent on keeping Aleric tonight she would not have allowed him to leave her home.

To think he had worried about her objecting to Aleric. He should have known that would have been the least of his worries.

“What the hell did he mean by ‘He is Raphael’s’? And why did you agree with him?”

Raphael scrubbed both hands over his face and gathered his patience. As a new vampire, Aleric’s emotions would mirror those of an adolescent—temperamental and volatile, quickly shifting from one extreme to another—except stronger and more powerful. Hell, Raphael had practically been able to taste Aleric’s indignation when Roman had made that statement. But at least Aleric had waited until they had returned to the carriage before voicing his question. An argument in front of Katerina would not have been the most prudent of actions.

“Because you carry my blood. It’s just a phrase used to describe the fact that I turned you. Like I explained earlier, almost all the vampires you saw tonight are Katerina’s. She turned them, so they are hers. I turned you, ergo you are mine.” But Roman, at least, had understood that Raphael had also been staking his claim on Aleric. Not exactly the wisest thing to do, especially without asking Aleric’s permission, but he hadn’t been able to stop himself.

“Oh, well then…” Aleric’s lips twisted in a grimace of one dissatisfied at having their argument taken away from them. Shifting on the bench, he reached down to adjust his prick. The once blatant erection had gone down slightly on the walk to the carriage, but there was still more than enough rigidity to the length to tent the placket and serve as a heavy reminder of just how affected Aleric had been by the visit.

It’s what you wanted him to see.

But I didn’t want him to like it so much.

He turned to look out the window and let out a sigh, one that only hinted at the desolation inside him. Katerina had been subtle, but her message had been clear. Upon leaving, she had even told Aleric, “I do so hope this visit will not be your last.”

Fortunately, Aleric had not replied with a yes or a no. Had continued to hold his tongue, merely tipping his head in acknowledgement. But she wanted him. No doubt about it. If he returned, she would extend an invitation to join her clan. A simple courtesy and nothing more. Not that Aleric would refuse the invitation, but if he did, Raphael doubted Katerina would take no for an answer. She had barely been able to take her eyes off him.

Not that Aleric had noticed. Eyes wide, his prick hard, a flush of desire staining his cheeks, and nearly panting for breath, his attention had been fixed on her vampires from the moment they had walked into the billiard room.
