Chapter 14

Adrian heard the steps of someone on the landing at his door by the time Her Highness was looking through the peephole. Damn vampires must have ultra-sensitive hearing. They did in the movies.

He could hardly believe the things she had said. She had to be a nutjob. Who talks crazy like that? Claiming him for a bloodslave? He snorted.

She turned away from the peephole, eyes wide, with a finger held to her mouth to be quiet. No more time for chitchat, looked like the shit was about to hit the fan. Adrian reached into his goody bag and pulled out eight pounds of pure Kevlar, reinforced by Kevlar plates. One of several souvenirs he’d stolen from the U.S. Army.

Lightweight, durable as hell, the military issue bulletproof vest could withstand numerous rounds before failing. Adrian had felt at least three rounds hit his previous vest and it was the equivalent of getting hit with a hammer, a few deep bruises, but the vest held up. He’d traded it in for a new one just before his discharge.

He strapped the vest on over his t-shirt and filled the front and side pouches with extra clips of ammo. Quickly checking his pistol to see that he had the hollow point loads, he slipped up to the front door.

She had stood there, silent, watching him with growing alarm on her face. The damn vampire could get up and walk after being shot seven times, what the hell was she worried about?

Adrian pushed her aside and eyed the peep-hole. Four gang-bangers, tattooed, one heading straight for his door, and another standing in front of Crenshaw’s door. The other two were headed over to the other duplex to the right. Canvassing the place.

Fuck, now the mess was spilling over to Crenshaw’s apartment. Dammit. He already had her highness to deal with. There was little room to defend anyone else. Fuck.

He stepped lightly back into the bedroom, and opened the slider to the patio. She watched him, and finally followed when he waved her over silently. Whispering right up against her ear, he held her close to reassure. “They’re at the door to Crenshaw’s place too. I need to get both of you out of here.”

He pulled up his night vision scope from his backpack, which wasn’t even attached to a rifle – as of yet. As he scanned the pool and surrounding apartments for signs of anyone, she put a hand on his shoulder and whispered against his ear. “I can see fine, and there’s no one out there. Its eleven-o-clock on a Thursday night, they’re all in bed.”

He put the scope down and looked at her, seeing her for the first time as she truly was. This woman, this vampire, had worked her way into his apartment, into his bed, and taken over his entire life. Her Highness had hearing like a fucking cat and night vision to match.

Knock, knock, knock. The natives were getting restless.

He picked her up and set her butt on the steel railing of his balcony.
