Chapter 134
We woke in the middle of the night and dressed, in case Jase woke up before us. He was getting older, and I vowed to make sure to move him into his own room next to ours when we got back home.
The sun shone brightly through the window the next morning, caressing my cheek. It felt great to be in the sunlight, after not being able to enjoy it for so long. For so many years, I had spent my life living in darkness, until Leila literally brought sunshine into my life. Not only literally by developing the Sunlight Serum, a cure for our aversion to sunlight, but she had brought sunshine into my life figuratively, as well, bringing light back into my life with her sweetness, her goodness. I had never met anyone like her before.
I looked across the bed where Leila was still sleeping. I rose from the bed, threw three blood bags into the microwave, and made coffee. When the microwave stopped, I took two of the blood bags and opened the front door. Outside our room, both Blake and

“Fuck, Leila! What you do to me is amazing.” I poured shampoo into the palm of my hand and ran it along her breasts. “You’re so damned beautiful,” I whispered into her ear as I turned her into the stream of water and washed her off. Then, I lathered up my hands again and shampooed her hair, bringing it to a strong lather, and then she leaned her head back into the stream of water as I laced my fingers in her long tresses, helping her rinse. I poured more shampoo into the palm of my hand and ran it over the small, round pooch then kissed it, and then concentrated on the area between her legs as her breath quickened. She started to reach for the shampoo, but I shook my head. “Let me take care of you,” I said, then poured more shampoo into my hand and ran my hands down her legs to her beautiful feet. “You have the most perfect body.”She laughed. “You’re spoiling me.”I smiled up at her. “I&rsqu

Leila grabbed her purse and said nothing about the bodyguards outside our hotel room as we left. Knowing how protective I was of them, having bodyguards outside our door didn’t surprise her, I was sure. Channing silently held the elevator door for us, and then stepped in, while Blake took the stairs. When the doors opened, Channing escorted us out, while Blake already had our limo door open, looking around.“They remind me of Secret Service Agents,” Leila whispered.“I hope you don’t mind, but it’s necessary,” I replied, handing Jase to Leila after she was safely inside the car, and then I slid in behind her. Channing slid into the limo beside me, while Blake slid into the passenger seat beside the limo driver.“Where to, Mr. Steel?” the limo driver asked as he looked into the rearview mirror.“Fifth Avenue,” I said. “We’re going shopping.” Leila was looking out the window

“My God, Lance!” Leila yelled. “Where is he?”I ignored her, looking under tables as quickly as I could. Then, I lifted the skirt of the last table and there he was, sitting under the table, hiding. “Jase! What were you doing?”“Playing Hide and Seek,” he said.“I found him!” I announced, and Leila rushed over. I quickly scooped him into my arms and hugged him to my chest. “Do not ever do that to me again, Jase! Do you hear me?”He nodded as his eyes welled up with tears.I didn’t want to have to tell him this at such a young age, but it was necessary. “Jase, there are a lot of bad people out there that could have taken you, do you know that?” I said, looking into his eyes. “And if that happened, Mommy and Daddy would never see you again.”Jase’s lip began to quiver.I quickly calmed myself, but I wanted to impress upon him the

Owen, my new limo driver in New York, pulled into the airport and directly onto the tarmac and up to the plane. He was a vampire, too. In the past, I had hired human drivers, but they were too easily compelled, unless they wore a Bloodstone ring, which stopped compulsion. But I didn’t want to take the chance … not after what happened to Clarence and to Fredrick, my last limo drivers.Blake had discreetly called ahead and got us an immediate flight out, nonstop to Las Vegas, Nevada. A moment later, our car pulled to a stop a safe distance from the plane.“You have to hurry,” Channing said with his door already open.I nodded, understanding. Blake had pulled some strings on my behalf and they held the flight for us … again. As soon as the car came to a stop, Channing jumped out and looked around. Satisfied, he stepped back so I could get out, and then I held my hand out for Leila. I looked up and through the huge plate glass window,

“Well, well!” he said, clearly enjoying the game. “You have quite the temper, don’t you?”I just glared at him. “It’s been a while since I’ve killed anyone for sport, but I’m willing to make an exception.” I reached for him again, but he held up his hands.“Okay, Mr. Steel,” he conceded, “sit down and I shall answer all of your questions.”“Pray you do not bore me,” I said, falling back into my old vernacular. “Make it quick.” Then, I leaned in close. “If you know who I am, then you know of what I am capable. Do not test me.”One corner of his lips curled into a smile. “As I said, my name is Xander Reed, the new head of the Las Vegas Diamond Pack.” He held out his hand. “I’m moving there to take over, since that unfortunate mishap with Leo Samuelson.”“Unfortunate mishap?

We talked into the night throughout the flight until the FASTEN SEATBELTS sign began flashing overhead. A few moments later, Leila stirred, so I took Jase from her, who was still sleeping, as well.“Well, it was nice to meet you,” I whispered so as not to wake Jase. “If you need any help settling into the role of Alpha, just let me know.”He nodded his thanks. “I hope to have good relations between our species.”“As do I.”He looked kindly at Jase. “Is this your son?”“Yes.”“He’s adorable,” Xander said. “I hope to have one of my own one day.”I laughed, watching Jase sleep. “This little one was completely unexpected, but a very welcome surprise.” Then, I looked into Xander’s eyes. “You will have one of your own one day I’m sure … when the time is right.”He smiled and nodded. “B

As we turned down the Las Vegas strip, I started to relax, knowing that we were finally almost home. I squeezed Leila’s hand as we pulled down the long driveway leading to Caprice Casino and Club Moroii. It was already dark outside, but the castle exterior was illuminated as flood lights shone upon it, changing colors from blue to red, purple to pink, and every color of the rainbow. The lighting accented the exquisite façade of the castle. I had it built in the likeness of Camelot, designed by King Arthur himself. Long ago, I had found his plans for Camelot and had kept them safe until the time was right to build an exact replica. The outbuildings matched the castle perfectly.The bottom part of the castle was Caprice Casino, which was open to humans. However, the top floors of Club Moroii were reserved strictly for vampires, witches, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures. My private suites were located in the penthouse. All manner of supernatural creature

A few moments later, Leila pulled back, satisfied as she ran a finger across her lips. “Feel better, love?”She nodded, settling back onto the couch.I stroked her hair away from the side of her face, watching her, mesmerized by her beauty. “Leila, what would you like to name the baby?”She opened her eyes. “My grandmother’s names were Celeste and Sirena.” She shrugged. “Maybe we could choose one of their names?”“What was your mother’s name?” I asked, softly stroking the side of her face.She laughed. “Tabitha.” She shifted her body to face me, propping her elbow on the back of the couch. “What was your mother’s name?”I smiled. “Marie,” I replied. “My grandmother’s names were Mary and Claire.”“I like the name Marie …” she said, thinking aloud.“I really like the name Sir
