Lila POV
I leave the new girl alone in her room. I don't think she realizes what is to come. They never know when they come here. They are all full of hope and joy. Damn the phone is ringing. I run down the hall to grab it. It is probably Craig.
I pick up the old black phone. I glance around to make sure no one is around. "Hello," I speak softly.
"Lila, Is she settled in?" Mr. Craig asks.
"Yes. I have her. She is in her room settling in. She is quite beautiful Mr. Craig," I say.
"Good. I will be back tonight. Make sure she is comfortable. DO NOT scare her. Be nice if you know how. Check on her often. Make sure she has everything she needs. Got IT!" he says demandingly. He hangs up before I can respond.
He acts as if I do not know my job. I have helped him gather perfect breeding bitches from the auction. Of course, this is the first time Jayne got involved. Poor Jayne. She thought she was sending him a wife and a companion little does she know what he is really up to. At least we did not have to pay someone to bid this time.
I will keep little Miss Tatina busy and happy. She is in the city with me, of course, she will love it here. I will make sure she is happy. I will be her best friend and then she will agree to anything we want. Craig, he is so sly with the breeders. He would not bend to his will. He is sexy and kind until he gets what he wants them it is over.
Tatina POV
The room they fixed me in absolutely beautiful. I cannot believe all the clothes he bought me. I have never had this many clothes and shoes before. I grab a pair of blue jeans from the closet and a white top. I go over to the dresser and grab a bra and a pair of panties. I need a shower.
I walk into the bathroom. Oh my goodness. The bathroom is as big as my room. A beautiful mirror well lit with makeup and hairbrushes. The shower is full of shampoos and body washes. I am going to shower with all of it. Next to the shower is a robe and slippers. There are multiple lotions and body sprays. I must be in heaven.
I remove my clothes and turn the shower on steaming hot. I step into the shower and let the water run down my body. I grab a purple bottle of shampoo and start scrubbing my hair. It smells so wonderful. I rinse my hair and grab a conditioner. The conditioner smells wonderful. I let the conditioner soak in my hair. I grab a raspberry body wash and soak the pink sponge in massive amounts of body wash. I scrub every inch of my body. I rinse the conditioner out of my hair and continue to let the hot water run over my body. I think I could stay in here forever. I never got to shower like this when I was living with my parents.
I step out of the shower. I dry off with one of the huge white towels. I grab the pink silk robe and slip into it. I towel off my long hair and sit down at the mirror. I grab a lotion from the counter. Raspberry. I love the smell of raspberries. I rub my body with the lotion. I smell fabulous.
I towel dry my hair and open the drawers on the counter. I find face cream and apply it. There is makeup here but I am not a fan of a lot of makeup. Maybe just some mascara. I apply some mascara lightly. I finish toweling my hair.
I slip into my clothes. I grab the blow dryer and dry my long hair. I get up from the counter and dress quickly. I have dilly-dallied enough. I need to eat and see the rest of the house.
When I come back into my room, Lila is waiting for me.
"I see you showered," she says.
"Yes. I feel amazing," I say.
"Good, Mr. Craig wants me to take you to dinner. Slip into some comfortable shoes and we will walk to a restaurant to eat. Is seafood okay?" she says.
"Yes. That would be great," I respond.
I slip into a pair of comfortable shoes. I smile at her. Something seems off with her. Maybe she is just nervous about having me here. I hope she does not think I am trying to take the place of his wife. I did not plan to come here I just landed here.
"I am ready," I say.
"Good. Let us get going. It is only a mile to Miss Zada's Seafood house," she says.
Tatina POVLila walks quickly as we jet down to the seafood bar. I wonder why she is acting so strange. Probably nothing. I have lived my life being around people acting strange. She seems to care about me and everything going on with me. I am probably just I don't know being ridiculous. We walk up to a bar at the end of Bourbon Street. This has been the longest walk ever. Maybe it has not. Maybe I am being dramatic. I am tired and extremely hungry.We arrive at the seafood bar and it is all blacked out. The windows are black and there is no sign. Lila doesn't seem bothered by it. But for me, I find it somewhat disturbing about all of this. It seems off to me. Of course, I have never been here before so maybe this is perfectly normal."Lila, I do not mean to sound ungrateful, but why is well why this place is all well you know ....it is blacked out. And to be honest it is giving me the creeps." I ask. I am trying to be a
LILA POVThis little girl needs to just be grateful we are being so kind to her. A young woman in her position could have ended up in a very bad place. We will get what we want from her. But we will not hurt her. She will be set for life. All she has to do is breed a few hybrids and she can be on her merry little way."Tatina, you look so worried," I say. I desperately am trying to sound sympathetic. It is hard when you feel like someone is so damn ungrateful."I am fine. This place just looks a little creepy," she says.Her innocence, Mr. Craig will play on that. He will have her eating out of the palm of his hand. She just wants to be loved so badly."Oh darling, I understand. But what I do not understand is why you think I would put you in harm's way," I say. I am trying to not come off as a bitch, but I probably did.She sits there across from me. Looking
Tatina POVDinner with Lila was ridiculous. It just made me uneasy. She seemed preoccupied with something else. Maybe I am worrying too much. It just feels strange. And the vampire she spoke with at the restaurant. Something about all of that did not sit right with me. I will not make the mistake of questioning her again.I get to meet Mr. Craig tonight. I will freshen up before he gets here and maybe change clothes. I am not sure what I should wear or say or look like or how to be. I could just try calming down a little and be myself. I am sure everything will be fine. I am just not sure about Lila. The best thing for me to do is keep my mouth shut and listen.Someone is knocking on my door. "Come in," I say."Mr. Craig is home early and waiting for you in the study," she says. I have no idea who she is. She is very small. She is even smaller than me and looks very pregnant."Th
Tatina POVSitting here in his lap with him feeling my body, is unbelievable. I have never had someone make me feel so good. He kisses me so softly yet so passionately. His hand running up my thigh makes my body tingle and shaky. I am not sure how to react to him. I am not sure what is appropriate. How do I make him feel the correct way? Where should I touch him?"Are you okay?" he asks.I lay my head on his shoulder as he takes his hand up my inner thigh higher getting closer to my sweet spot. "I am. I am just a little nervous about what you are doing," I respond.He takes his hand closer to my middle. He gently rubs me. "Do not be nervous. I will not hurt you," he says.Something in me tells me I can believe him, but I still need to proceed with caution. "I need to know. I do not mean any disrespect, Mr. Craig. Are you planning to take my virginity tonight?" I ask him.&nb
Tatina POVMr. Craig sits on the side of his bed. "You can go back to your room now," he says.I gather myself. I am not sure how I feel. I wasn't expecting him to snuggle up to me and tell me he was in love with me, but I wasn't expecting him to just toss me aside either."Yes sir," I say. I get out of the bed and dress myself. I start to cry. Why the hell am I crying?"Stop that. I am not mad at you. I am mad at myself. I shouldn't have done that with you. It was wrong of me. I am sorry. Go back to your and take a bath. I will come to see you tonight and we can talk," he says."Yes sir," I say.I go out of his room and walk swiftly to his room. I wonder if he thinks I am a whore. I should've said No. I go into the bathroom and run myself a bath. I slip out of my clothes. I check the water to see if it is hot. I need hot water to wash the whore off of me. Ev
Lila POVJackson has to text me constantly about the breeders. I should've just gone myself. I have got three says to get another breeder ready for Mr. Craig's auction on Saturday night. I wonder how he plans to explain that to Tatina. She will hate him when she finds out. As soon as she decides she is done with him, I will auction her off.I believe I can still get a pretty penny for her. He just had to take her virginity, but considering the tribe, she is from I can still get a lot of money for her. There are not many left from the aurora tribe. My phone is dinging again. I check my phone. Jackson. Damn him. He doesn't have enough sense to even walk around.*Got three. Adeline, Adomele, and Aurora *Well, finally the boy did something right. We have to keep them in the basement far away from Tatina. I cannot have her feeling sorry for them and letting them go. I will let Mr. Craig enjoy her for a w
Tatina POVI grab my phone. It's 1120. Jayne will be here to get me in 40 minutes. I have not even got up yet. Mr. Craig is no longer in my bed. He snuggled up to me all night. I am not sure when he left but I know he slept peacefully with me all night.I get out of the bed and grab some clothes out of the closet. I dash for the bathroom to get ready. I turn on the shower and quickly get hop in. I wash my hair and grab the strawberry body wash. I need to get ready quickly.I jump out and throw a towel on my head while I dress. I grab some makeup and try to make myself up. I really do not like makeup but here goes nothing. At least I don't look like a painted-up hooker this time.I throw on my clothes and give my hair a good drying with the towel. I don't have time to dry it completely I grab a hair tie and pin it up neatly. I grab some shoes out of the closet and slip into them.
Jayne POVTatina looks amazing. I am so happy to see looking well. She was so lost just a few days ago when she landed at the Vampire Authority auction. It makes my heart smile knowing she is in good hands.We load her bags up into my car. “The hotel we are staying in is old but newly renovated and very cool. I think you will enjoy it. It was a nice view of the city. We can sit on the balcony and people watch," I tell her."Sounds great," Tatina says."It is not far. Maybe we will miss the traffic," I tell her.I plan to take her everywhere since we have a few days to explore. "We can go to the French market, grab amazing food, oh and we can ride the ferry and the streetcar. We can walk over to the garden district to look at houses. There is a lot to do. We can go to a few bars. You have got to have a hurricane," I tell her."I have never really drank b
