Chapter 75
“May I take your order?” a pretty blonde woman asked Lance, holding a pad and pencil, waiting. Great. Another admirer. Obviously, the hostess had told her about him. I guessed that I would have to get used to it. Anyone as gorgeous as Lance would definitely attract attention.
“I’ll have the Seafood Alfredo and a Coke,” Lance said, handing her his menu, and then turned his attention back to me.
“I’ll have the Penne Pasta with Chicken and a Coke Zero,” I said, reaching across the table to hold his hand.
“I’ll get that for you right away,” she said, dejected, as she walked away.
“Lance, you can order a drink, you know,” I said, smiling. “I won’t mind.”
He gently squeezed my hand. “Not while you’re pregnant, love,” he said.
I smiled as I returned the squeeze. It was nice that he didn’t want me to feel uncomfortable.

An hour later, we were in his Learjet on our way back to Las Vegas. I had fallen asleep on the plane and woke when Lance shook my shoulder. “Leila, we’re here,” he cooed. I opened my eyes, lying against his shoulder. He stroked a lock of hair away from my eyes. “Wake up, Sleeping Beauty,” he said, smiling. “We’re here.”I looked out the window of his Learjet and it was pitch black outside. “What time is it?” I asked groggily, feeling like I could sleep for the rest of my life.Lance smiled, amused by my expression. “It’s three o’clock in the morning,” he said, making sure that I was fully awake before he moved. The plane was on the ground and at a complete stop. I didn’t even remember landing. “Let’s get you to the castle and then you can go back to sleep.”“Okay,” I said. Then, I felt something move in my stomach and I instinctively lifted my

He placed a finger gently under my chin and lifted my eyes to his. “What do you think?” Then, his lips crushed down onto mine, moving with all of the pent up passion that he was feeling. When he pulled back, I was breathless when he looked into my eyes. “I love you, Leila, more than you’ll ever know, and I want you to be my wife.”I nodded as I wiped the tears from my cheeks and looked down at my stomach again. “I love you, too,” I said to both Lance and the baby. “What do you think the baby will be like?” I asked, looking into Lance’s eyes.He smiled as he placed his hand gently on my stomach, and then his eyes met mine. “Special.”I nodded in agreement. Yes, above anything else, this baby was special.Out of the blue, there was a knock on the door and I looked at Lance, concerned.“Don’t worry. You’re safe here,” he said, then got up and walked across

“Lance, I’m telling you, she tried to compel me,” I said, sitting up on the edge of the bed, holding my stomach.“Are you sure that she wasn’t just asking you to go dress shopping with her?” Lance asked, helping me to settle into the bed.“Well, at first she said that we needed to go dress shopping, but I told her that I wanted Angela to make my dress and then she said that we were going dress shopping today and told me to get up and get dressed,” I said. “She didn’t ask. She told me … and her eyes flared.”“Are you sure they flared?” Lance asked, sitting down on the bed beside me.“You don’t believe me,” I said, rolling onto my side as tears slid slowly down my cheeks.“Hey,” Lance said, forcing me to look at him. “Of course I believe you.” He wiped a tear away from my cheek. “It’s just that Charlotte and I hav

“Great, in your arms,” I teased, stirring sweetener packets into my coffee. Now that I had some blood in my system, my stomach had settled down a bit and the coffee smelled heavenly.Lance smiled, taking another drink of his coffee. “How are you feeling?”“Fine, I think.” I placed a hand on my stomach. It felt tight and a little bigger, but fine. “My appointment with Dr. Ryan is today, so I’ll see what’s going on.” I took another sip of my coffee, and then added, “I’m also going to talk to her about the sunlight serum. I’ll need to use her lab.”Lance shook his head. “I don’t want you to go back to work until after the baby is born. You’re not going to feel up to it.”I took a deep breath. “I know, but I really need to develop that serum,” I said, placing a hand gently on his arm. “You need to be unlinked with Raven as soon as poss

A moment later, Lance came out of the shower, looking delicious with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Within minutes, he emerged from the bedroom dressed in an impeccable gray Armani suit with a crisp white shirt, open at the neck. He looked spectacular. “Ready?”“You’re going with me?” I asked, taking another sip of my cold coffee.“Yes, if that’s okay,” he replied, crossing the room to me. “I’d like to hear what Ambrosia has to say.”I nodded, putting on my lipstick. “Of course.” I closed the tube and slipped it into my purse. “Shall we?”Lance held out his arm for me just as a knock sounded on the door. “Just in time,” Lance said, and then stopped. “Oh, I almost forgot.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring.“Another ring?” I asked, and then noticed that it held a Bloodstone. “One of the spelled Bl

“Leila?” Lance asked, suddenly panicked. He leaned me back into the crook of his arm. Then, he bit his wrist and held it to my lips. “Here, drink this. It’ll make you feel better.”I nodded, drinking his blood, wondering what I had gotten myself involved in. Lance, the man that I loved, as a mafia don. And he wasn’t just a don—as if that wouldn’t be bad enough—he was in charge of a whole coven. Slowly, the blood started working and my vision began to return.“Leila, say something,” Lance said. “Look, I didn’t want to have to tell you this, but now you must know. Because I’m the head of a coven, you are at risk.”“And you didn’t think it was important to tell me before now?” I shouted, unable to believe what I was hearing. “Well, now, this just opens up a whole new can of worms! Anyone could have killed Steven for any reason!”“Leil

“Well, are we ready?” Dr. Ryan asked.“Yes, doctor,” I said, then asked in a low voice, “Are these walls soundproof … from vampires?”She nodded. “Why?”“How much do you know about Lance?” I asked, feeling her out.“Leila, don’t worry about Lance Steel,” she said with a smile. “He’s a vampire, but he’s a good man.”I nodded. “Did you know that he’s the don of a vampire mafia?”Amy laughed. “I knew that he’s the leader of a vampire coven, yes, but you make it sound like he’s a hardened criminal.”“Well, vampires are killers, aren’t they?”“Yes, but Lance doesn’t strike me as someone who wants to kill, or else he wouldn’t be meeting Drake to obtain so much blood for his coven.” Dr. Ryan pulled up a rolling stool and sat down. “He&rsqu

I carefully wiped off my stomach with the tissues that Dr. Ryan had provided for me and dressed quickly, excited to begin our new life together, when I suddenly thought of Raven and the sunlight serum. How was I going to develop the serum before the baby was born? But I had no choice. Lance needed to be unlinked to Raven as quickly as possible. If she died while they were linked, then he would die, too, and vice versa. They couldn’t stay linked indefinitely.I opened the door, and Lance and Dr. Ryan were waiting for me in her office. Lance wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me in for a hug and then bent down and kissed me on the lips.“Well, I’ll give you two some privacy,” Dr. Ryan said, headed toward the door when I stopped her.“Amy, will you wait a moment, please?” I asked and she turned around expectantly. I looked up at Lance and whispered, “The sunlight serum.”“We can wait until afte
