“I’ve been waiting so long,” Chantal breathed.

Oliver wondered how far he’d get if he tried to run, or if he would even make it to the door in his current condition. But then he remembered how fast Maria had moved earlier. If that speed was typical of vampires, he wouldn’t have had a chance, even on his best day. Much less when he was fighting the effects of narcotics.

Chantal pushed him roughly back onto the bed and threw one leg over his hips, straddling him. In another context, and with a living woman, Oliver might have found himself quite turned on. At the moment, though, all he could think about was keeping his blood inside his body.

She leaned down and caressed his cheek with her hand. “Handsome boy,” she said.

“Thank you,” he replied automatically. “You’re very…” he began to say, before he caught himself. Politeness had a time and a place, and this was neither. “Mr. Blackwell said I’d be safe here.” He heard fear in his own voice and hated himself for it.

“Yes, he did.” She leaned down and licked his cheek like a puppy might have. “I suppose he’s going to be very angry with me,” she breathed.

“Definitely. Definitely very angry,” Oliver said. Good god, he was actually aroused, he suddenly realized.

“I guess you’ll just have to kill him for me,” Chantal continued.

Oliver blinked. That wasn’t what he had been expecting at all. He had thought all she wanted was a late-night snack. “Excuse me?”

“I’m going to make you mine,” she said. “And then you’ll kill him for me.” She stroked his other cheek, seizing his wrist when he tried to stop her. Her grip was like a vice. “No,” she said sternly. “Don’t try to fight me. You’re nowhere near strong enough, and I don’t want you damaged.”

“Please don’t,” Oliver said simply. He knew there was nothing else he could do now except beg.

“It’s okay,” she said soothingly. “It’s not going to hurt.” She frowned suddenly. “Well, that was a lie. It is going to hurt. A lot. But you’ll get over it.”

“I don’t understand,” Oliver said.

She leaned down again and brushed her lips gently across his cheek. “I want to be free,” she said into his ear. “Once I’ve turned you, you’ll be under my control. For a little while, at least, you’ll be compelled to do whatever I command.” She smiled. “He won’t see you coming until it’s too late. So you’ll kill him for me, and then my bondage will be over.” She shrugged. “Or you might fail, but you’ll be dead and he’ll never know which of us turned you. There are more likely suspects than me.” She kissed him again. “My dear man, I’ve waited so long for this chance.”

“What about Maria?”

“Oh, she’ll definitely kill you,” Chantal said. “Although I suppose if you did manage to beat her somehow, you would be my first subject.” She smiled. “Either way I can’t lose.”

Chantal placed her hands around Oliver’s upper arms and gripped him tightly.
