Tatina POV
Lila 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 as respectful as possible.
"It belongs to a vampire my dear. Do not be alarmed they all know who you belong to," she says.
Belong to. Okay. I guess I do. I guess I do belong to him. For now, I belong to someone. It almost feels nice to well belong to someone. I do not feel like a burden in any way at all. I feel like my life is falling into the right place. Maybe all of this will be good for me.
"Okay. I was not trying to sound like I did not trust you. Please do not think that," I say.
She gives me this smile like I just made her mad or something. I can't figure her out. She is so nice to me but she is off. Something is really off with her. For now, I have to just let it go. There is nothing I can do about this current situation I am in. So I will go with it.
"Tatina, I would never put you in any kind of danger. You have to believe that," she says.
I do not know. Something is so off. But maybe just maybe I am just on guard. I will trust her for now. Until she gives me a reason not to trust her.
"OK. I was just wondering why. And why are we going to a vampire place?" I ask.
“Sweetie, they have the best food," she replies.
That makes no sense but I smile and agree. Why would vampires be operating a place for humans to come to eat unless they had a motive? And what is her motive for bringing me here? Now I feel like there is one. She is up to something and it is no damn good.
I go to the dark restaurant. The worst thing that could happen is a vampire tries to take me out. I am not sure if that should be the least of my worry. I should be worried about a vampire trying to breed with me. Surely Lila would not let one of them take me.
We go in and we are seated by a girl that I am sure is not a vampire. At least I do not think she is. She hands me a menu. She does not give Lila one. That is odd.
"Are you eating?" I ask Lila.
"Yes, but I come here a lot and they already know what I want," she responds
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
Mr. Craig POVTonight after the auction I am ending these auctions. I will turn everything over to Lila. I will tell Jayne everything and come clean. I will be honest with Tatina about everything wrong I have done, Hopefully, she will forgive me and allow me to love her. Something about her makes me want to do right. I have not been right since I lost Julie. I started these breeder auctions and now, Now I know how wrong I was. I was so wrong.Knock at the door."Mr. Craig, the three are in the basement. I am getting them prepared. I will send you an email in about an hour with all the information," Lila says.I acknowledge her. I need out of this. She leaves.Losing Julie pushed me over the edge. I became something I should have never become. I became a crazy person. Tatina in a single moment has brought something out of me that I forgot existed. Even if she doesn't forgive me at
