Chapter Nine

On the short ride into the city, Laryssa had carefully positioned herself as close to the rear side door as she could get in an effort to keep her leg from brushing up against Léopold’s. Dressed in an Italian trim-fitting grey suit, he’d casually interject his opinion into the conversation, always giving her a sexy smile in the process. Taking time to undo the top button of his white fitted shirt was the only semblance of discomfort he displayed. Exuding confidence and strength, he’d insisted that he sit with her in the back seat for her protection. Neither Jake nor Dimitri had argued, but simply acquiesced to his demand.

Stealing glances at him, her eyes always found his. It was as if he knew when she’d look, what she’d say, making her feel as if he’d known her for a long time. Her thoughts drifted to the way he’d held her down, forcing her to admit she enjoyed her submission. If she’d allowed herself to think of what Léopold had done to her for even a second longer, they’d all know what she was thinking. Quickly remembering she was in a car filled with supernatural men, she diverted her mind to a less sexually arousing memory: the demon. Its memory brought an unsurpassed surge of fear to her psyche, one that left her praying she’d survive what was to come. One week. It’d given her one week. She took a deep breath and blew it out, attempting to calm her nerves.

“It’s going to be all right,” Léopold assured her. He’d sensed her arousal, yet as quickly as it had begun, it was gone, replaced with anxiety. In response, he’d placed his hand atop her thigh, seeking to comfort her. The heat sizzled beneath his flesh. She was fully dressed, but she might as well have been bare to him. Léopold despised his growing need for Laryssa yet all he could think about was making her his.

“You sure you can trust her? Ilsbeth?” Laryssa looked into Léopold’s eyes, searching for the truth.

“Ilsbeth and I have known each other throughout centuries. She’s a difficult woman, but trust her? Oui, I do,” he affirmed.

Léopold’s touch warmed her leg, and Laryssa continued to have difficulty separating herself from her feelings toward the debonair vampire. One minute he was cruel, agreeing that she was nothing more than someone he’d met. The next, he possessively kissed her. His caring words, the caress to her leg gave her reason to suspect that he couldn’t live within his own rules. She sought to squelch the optimistic thought, that he wanted more than just one night, but his actions spoke louder than his words. Unable to withstand the temptation, she placed her hand on his, completing their connection.

After driving through an ornate wrought iron gate, their car circled in front of Ilsbeth’s home. As it came to a stop, Léopold exited first, then rounded the vehicle to open the door for Laryssa. Along with Dimitri and Jake, they made their way up a wide slate staircase that led toward the spectacular home.
