Urban Vampire Chapter 90
I stared at Alexis in shock. His alabaster skin was now pink like a newborn's. The skin on his hands was mottled and gnarled in a way my own hands had been. His eyelids were so scarred I could only see his beautiful eyes through slits. He stood as I watched him in horror. There were more scars on him than had been on me.He looked at his hands and smiled. "This, I can feel. Thank you, my love, for giving me so much to feel.""But you have many more scars than I had.""No, my love. You had many scars on the inside. I will heal these more quickly than you ever could." He looked around. "The day is coming to an end, and she will awaken soon. You must go."We got dressed."I'm going to come back when the sun rises," I said."No. She will surely know if you do. I want you on the other side of the ocean before the next sunrise. I will keep myself blocked from her until then, but after that she will know. I will try to be selective with my memories, but it will be difficult. Don't mak

Tyler said it was all her fault. She thought I had died.Karen said it was her fault. She said she should have never brought me here.Monica said it was her fault because she should not have kept secrets from me. I hugged and kissed them all. Tyler pulled away from me and looked at me. Her eyes were big, and her mouth fell open. "Oh honey, your burns. They're gone!" She sniffed. "And you've been fucking!" My face warmed."You really found Alexis?" Karen asked.I tried not to blush. "I found him," I said. They squealed and jumped up and down. They touched my skin. Tyler examined my eyelids. "You had time to fuck him? How did you have time to fuck him?" "No, you didn't," Monica whispered, hugging me. "What?" Karen asked. "Ladies," I said when Monica broke her hold on me. "I have a secret to tell you. But I can't tell you here. It's a secret that's going to take a blood oath." I'd never done a blood oath with them because I'd never had a secret big enough to tell them.

"I'll feel better when we're out of here," Tyler said. We were locking up the villa when I felt a familiar tingling on the back of my neck."Shit," Tyler said. She had felt it, too.My first thought was Athena, but it was a masculine voice that spoke. "Leaving so soon?" It was the heavily accented voice of Marcelle.We spun around to see not only Marcelle and his second in command Paolo, but five other Vampires as well.I studied Marcelle. "As I said, my time here is limited."Marcelle smiled. "You look lovely this evening. Do my eyes deceive me or is your skin healed of its burns?"I smiled slightly. "Thank you for noticing. You are correct. My burns have been healed.""And if you don't mind me asking, how did you achieve such a feat?" Marcelle asked."Well now, a lady can't reveal all of her beauty secrets."His smile grew even broader. "Of course, forgive me." He looked around. "I seem to always catch you at a bad time, when you're on your way to someplace else. However,

Marcelle bowed slightly to the Elder. "Esmeralda, may I introduce you to our guest. This is Kim Russell and her First Lieutenant Julie. The others are her personal staff."Esmeralda held out her hand. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with it—kiss it, bite it, or shake it.Marcelle smiled at me. I took Esmeralda's hand and shook it. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I understand that I was summoned here.""Yes," Esmeralda said. "You were summoned by me. Marcelle said that you were badly burned around your eyes, yet your skin is flawless." She tilted her head slightly. "How did you manage this in one evening?"I slammed my shields up remembering something Alexis had said about creating false memories. Athena would be able to see what had happened between us unless I created false memories, too. How the hell did you create false memories? How did I spend my evening if it wasn't with Alexis? Perhaps I had spent my evenings with an elder, but the only one I could think of in a pi

"Well, if you are not going to let us go, then ask your questions," I said."Did Alexis ask you to come to Epic Cu?" Esmeralda asked."No."They waited for me to expand. I didn't."Why did you come?" Esmeralda asked."Curiosity." And that wasn't lying. I was curious about Alexis. Even the weakest Vampire could smell a lie, so I knew that they would know if I lied. My answer wasn't the whole truth, but it wasn't a lie."Did you come to break Alexis out of his prison?" Esmeralda asked.I narrowed my eyes. "You're awfully curious about Alexis? Why?"As is so often the case with Elders, Esmeralda struck fast. I didn't see her flinch, but I felt as if someone had hit me with a baseball bat! She smacked me, but it wasn't a human smack. She hadn't used her hand. Her power smacked me, and I felt my head snap back as I went flying out of the wingchair. I found myself kneeling on all fours on the floor with blood dripping out of my nose. When I tried to raise my head, a sharp pain stabbe

Someone screeched beside us. It was the sneaky little British man. He had flown at us while our backs were turned, but Tyler had leaped at him and apparently had made contact with his face because his skin was smoking and bubbling. "Enough!" Esmeralda screamed. Her ruined arm was hanging uselessly at her side. "Alexis, you've left Epic Cu and forfeited your bargain with the Elder Council."Alexis chuckled. "Esmeralda, it has been many years; centuries in fact, since last we spoke. I see that you are still governed by your ridiculous jealousy. I have not left Epic Cu. As we speak I am staring out of one of the stained glass windows at the stars. It's such a beautiful night. I love Spain and its dark, sultry beauty."Esmeralda grew dark, darker than was natural even with her Latin heritage. She cursed him in Spanish, but somehow I understood every word. "You pig! You bastard! How dare you call this … this Third 'Your Love' when we shared a bed for close to two hundred years and you b
Urban Vampire Chapter 96
Awareness dawned on me quickly. I was sucking on Tyler's neck like a dog working a bone! She was moaning low in her throat. I pulled back carefully. How much blood had I taken?I belched and was appalled at my gluttony.Julie released my wrist when she saw that I was back to myself. What I was doing with that hand before Julie grasped it is cloudy, but I didn't mind it staying that way.Tyler rolled her head from side to side with her eyes still closed. "Damn, Kim …" she whispered. "You and Alexis would make Deep Throat look like a Disney movie." Oh my God! She could see us? Tyler smiled. "That was so good." "Sorry about that," I said. "I'm no." Tyler squinted at me while lazing against the seat. "Anytime you want to invite me to join in one of your sessions, just let me know. Now I understand why you'd travel halfway around the world to see Alexis."I turned to look at him. He eyed me hungrily but didn't touch me.~*~We got to the airstrip about an hour before daw
Urban Vampire Chapter 97
"Is she going to be okay?" I felt so guilty. I hadn't wanted Tyler or any of them to be in danger. Had it not been for Alexis' intervention …"She's okay. She's going to be released tomorrow.""Can you take me to her?" I asked."It's late. We won't be able to visit her."I sighed. "Well, at least we're home. Almost home.""Tell me what happened when I left you at Epic Cu," Julie said. " I've pretty much figured out that you can withstand the sun. I don't understand how, but you can."I sat. "It's true. I'm a day-walker.""And there are others?""What I'm about to tell you is known by very few Vampires," I said. "Tony doesn't even know. But you are my core group and I can't hide a secret like this from you. I've been told that there are less than one hundred known day-walkers in the entire world."Julie stared into space. She wasn't moving a muscle, not even pretending to breathe, which like me, she did automatically. "It makes sense now." She nodded. "The punishment had to be
