"Can't talk yet," I said, quivering.Tony chuckled lightly. "I hope you haven't lost your voice." I stiffened. "Oh no. You don't think Mei Wah heard us, do you?"Tony smiled. "He would have to be deaf not to."I closed my eyes.Tony kissed me lightly then rolled off me to pull me into his arms. "Mei Wah has been a witness to many things more sinister then a little lovemaking."I opened my eyes. "I guess you're right." "You are so beautiful.""Vampirism makes me better."He shook his head. "When I was at your house, I looked at the pictures of you before. You are beautiful."Since we were talking about Vampire-enhanced beauty, I had to ask. "Tony, did vampirism give you a big dick?""What?" He laughed. "No. That's all me, baby." I narrowed my eyes. "Really?""Okay, maybe an inch or two is from vampirism, but I'll tell you a little secret. If you have a little dick as a human, you'll still have a little dick as a Vampire."I smiled. "I think I look much better as a Vampi

What? I stepped out of the shower sopping wet and butt naked. "Paul!" He stalked out of the bathroom."Paul, will you please wait?" He ignored me and continued walking. I materialized in front of him and blocked the bedroom door. "Paul, please don't go like this. I didn't mean what I said." His face was cold. He reached beneath the collar of his shirt until he was gripping the crucifix. He undid the clasp and handed it to me. I took it. "I hear everything you're saying," I whispered. "I swear I do." "Let me pass."I stepped aside. "Paul, what can I do to make you stay?" He reached to open the door. "You offer me that? Now?" His eyes swept my body. "When you smell like sex with another man, I mean, Vampire?"I put my arms across my breasts and felt tears slip down my face. Tears? I didn't think I had tears. "I wasn't trying …" I shook my head in denial. "I mean, you asked me to make you my Second. I will if you stay." He walked out the door. "I'll turn you if you st

"No. It means that we're linked."I didn't like the sound of that. "What do you mean?""Do you ever wonder why Tony is so attracted to you?""I'm sure you do," I muttered. "Kaniji, I'm not going to sit here and discuss my relationship with Tony with you. If that's what you think, you've wasted a trip.""I don't need to wonder about anything," Kaniji said. "You are gold. You have noticed that not all Neratomay are, haven't you?""Don't be snide.""Tony's gold, too. That's why I wanted him as my companion.""And the significance of being gold?" I asked. "Power."She had my interest now."I'm old, almost a thousand years. What you call 'Vampires' know next to nothing about what it really means to be Neratomay. Gold will seek out gold without even knowing it. That's why Tige couldn't allow you to die. And that's why as long as you're around Tony will always want you. Therefore, I'm going to help you so I can help myself."I looked at her warily. "You're going to help me in wha

I studied the chain. I took a deep breath and laid my wrist against it.The pain was immediate. The ladies screamed and rushed me, but they didn't need to. The pain threw me back and out of the chair. I howled but could still hear a faint sizzling. My inner wrist was blistered and raw from the brief contact."What the hell are you doing?" Monica screamed. They were all holding my arms as if they could prevent me from doing whatever I wanted.Tyler opened the door."Don't let anyone in here!" I growled in pain. "I need to finish it before it heals!" "What?" Monica screamed as Tyler slammed the door shut behind her.I shook them off me and they went flying. I stood and clenched my teeth. I turned my arm in and laid my right wrist against the silver. Knowing what to expect didn't make it any less painful since it sizzled against a fresh wound. The pain spun me around, but somehow I kept my balance. I bit back the screams and tried to concentrate on staying blank as I shakily laid

I slapped the chain against my leg and looked at Mr. Weasel, who was cowering in his chair."What was your issue?" I asked while swinging the chain lightly back and forth across my leg."I ... he ... he was working territory that belongs to me.""Working territory?""Yes. My humans own those blocks.""You're talking about prostitution?""Yeah," Mr. Weasel said.I turned my back to him, confident that he would be too afraid to try anything. I sat in my chair and placed the chain on the desk."Is this legal?" I thought to my Council."Unfortunately, yes," Mara answered."Mostly prostitution is consensual," Karen thought. "And mutually beneficial. Mostly." I opened the folder and scanned the notes Paul had made. It was pretty much what Paul had said."Since ... Terrence is no longer with us, you win the case.""Kim, we now have a new issue," Mara thought. "Terrence now leaves property and possessions."It sucked that they couldn't read each other's minds, so I had to relay

The smell in the room was horrendous, but that wasn't why I felt a headache coming on. What did any of it matter when I was planning to trade my life for Tige's?We stayed like that for ten minutes with Marcus being as quiet as anyone could with a melting hand. Tyler came back into the room. Alone.She looked at me. Marcus had enslaved all of his employees. The other vamp was no angel, but he hadn't enslaved anyone. Mandy wanted to go to the safe house, and she knew many others who would like to go, too. I nodded my thanks to Tyler, who didn't take her seat. I repeated the news to everyone else along with my intent to behead Marcus with the chain."Please, Kim," I heard Tyler ask. "Let me kill him.""Are you sure? It hurts to kill even an already dead, evil Vampire.""I know what he's done to them," Tyler said. "I need the release." Release. I nodded.Tyler walked to the cabinet and removed a small pistol. When Marcus saw what she was doing he tried to leap up. Why he didn'

When I stopped moving, I was in a meadow or a large garden, and it was dark.Alexis was standing a few feet from me under the glow of the moon and stars. I looked longingly at the sky. I hadn't stopped to enjoy the stars since being turned. I hadn't had time."And you are the very one who said that being touched was a necessity for you. Now you have made it so that no Vampire can touch you without being injured." He watched me with hands clasped in front of him. Tonight he wore black pants and a black shirt that flowed long over his hips and did nothing to hide his physique. "You can touch me," I said."But I'm not just another Vampire," Alexis said. "Still, there are other things that can love you besides Vampires if those things are to your liking.""Other things, besides humans, you mean?"Alexis nodded."Why would I care about that now?""Indeed," Alexis said. "I know what you were thinking. You were thinking about the brands. What else is in your head that you would have
Urban Vampire Chapter 61
Somewhere in the back of my mind I may have thought of Alexis as a love interest but not anymore. He was seriously scaring me, and I hadn't even asked him the questions I needed to ask!He and the female Vampire conferred without speaking. She glanced at me periodically, but Alexis did not.They talked for so long that I had time to examine my surroundings. Somehow I didn't think that I was in a room. I kept rubbing the toe of my shoe on the floor to see if it was solid and it was, but the room wasn't quite real. I didn't understand how it could be that way.My neck began to prickle, and another Vampire materialized in the room. He was old and stooped and wore a long white robe like a monk would wear. Someone had to turn him when he was old. It seemed such a horrible thing to be trapped for all eternity in that decrepit body. Four more Vampires materialized, each wearing white, and they stared at me. In unison they began to glide toward me—all except Alexis, who watched me with co
