Bugging out:Britsh Army slang - To move away from your current location very quickly (often under fire) because your position has been compromised by the enemy.TessaFinding a new place was my first plan after getting my little black book from my secret hiding place a couple of blocks away from my apartment building. But first, I took my time having a late lunch at a nearby diner and called Chad telling him about what happened to my apartment."Yup, I'm telling you the note said three months then someone is going to off me," I was fishing, trying to listen to the change in his voice cause I don't trust anyone, not even Chad. He's my handler, and he knew people and his name was still on my list of suspects. Oh yeah, I made a list while waiting for the maid service earlier, I also had a bag packed for an overnight stay or two, maybe even three depending on how quickly I can get a new discreet place.Finding a new hideout wouldn't be difficult, I have several fake IDs. But still, someon

Sire: A father; the head of a family; the husband. A creator; a maker; an author; an originator. Nero. "This is my son Vesper, and my guard Aldrich," I said truthfully. "Son, this is Tessa." "Hmm... you know, what the hell, my life couldn't get any weirder," she shook his hand after sheathing her knife back in its place. She laughed softly as if the encounter was too silly for her to comprehend. The little killer then walk ahead not caring if I'd follow her or not. But then she called out, "Come on. I need to skin this and put it in the crockpot. I've been binge-eating the cheeseburger for two days now, it'll feel good to eat my kill." Vesper chuckled hearing her choice of words from behind me. I couldn't see his face but I know Aldrich was keeping his thoughts to himself. We reached her little cottage and surely enough she told us to come in. "You need me to invite you in, really? Ugh, Come on boys, might as well come in." "Beer in the fridge, wine in the cooler, and uh water

Plural noun: loversA partner in a sexual or romantic relationship outside marriage. Nero I was back at Vesper needing to have a much-needed talk before I go back home. The short time away from the city proves nothing aside from unexpectedly finding Tessa hiding out in her rental cabin, practically behind Vesper's new house. "You're going back with her?" "She had agreed to go back with me to my apartment. I'm not taking to my den." "Of course," Vesper nodded his head in understanding. He knew I wouldn't just invite a human into a house full of vampires. No matter how good she was at protecting herself, on that note I also didn't want to risk the life of the vampires living in my den knowing how good she was at killing. "Okay, now, tell me you won't cause any disturbance in the area? Or better yet, why don't you go back to the den? I'll be staying with Tessa for a while, I need eyes on the den." Vesper smirked telling me that Tessa had got me wrapped around her little fingers. "Y

Immortality:The ability to live forever; eternal life. Nero Tessa had been staying with me for almost a week now and she told me that she had been seeing Rigel snooping around the building a couple of times. Though he didn't confront her again but still, she was annoyed by the fact that the man was messing with her view. Her view. Yep. That's the kind of stuff that I'd hear her say sometimes. Random stuff that she'd say because it was not to her liking or she was uncomfortable with a certain situation, like me, sneaking out just before dawn to leave her to sleep alone. The thought that she'd want to sleep beside me and watch me basically lay dead until my body could function when the sunset was tickling my insides. I know she has a fascination with death and sometimes I think her being with me as a vampire, was feeding her cravings whenever I found her watching me with interest. Not just because she was fond of me, but because she was intrigued with my state of immortality. "Aldri

Needy: Needing a lot of attention, affection, or emotional support. Nero I was not happy when I saw Tessa getting her hand dirty when she handled Rigel's man. Ammar reported that he had specifically told Aldrich how to hand deliver the not-so-sneaky hunter. Tessa was fast asleep two orgasms later when I decided to leave her to discuss the matter further with Aldrich and Ammar back at the den. I wanted to make sure that no more hunters are going to litter my building. "She can handle herself perfectly fine, father. And you don't have to be here tonight, though it's been a while since I've seen you this upset about your companion." Ammar pointed out when I was clearly upset with what happened. "I know she can, but that's not the point. Hunters are not supposed to breach our territory without plausible cause," "Right, about that, Aldrich heard some interesting information about Tessa. I know you told me that she's an assassin, and it seemed that when she was on one of her jobs, she
