Urban Vampire Chapter 95
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
Urban Vampire Chapter 98
For instance, a month ago we received a report that a Master Vampire had enslaved a human as his sexual servant. When we found the woman, we discovered that she had been imprisoned by this bastard for close to seventy years. She'd had children with him! A Vampire had impregnated a human? How the hell was that possible? When I asked Tony about it, he shrugged and said that it wasn't common but it could happen. Nobody seemed to think that was mind-blowing news. The offspring were always human until they reached adulthood. Then the Vampire would kick in, and they would become impervious to death unless it was a Vampire's death. The children—now adult Vampires—and their mother had been forced to live with him in some quasi-medieval love thing. We didn't kill him although the Council banished him from the States for one hundred years. He was forced to give her half of all of his assets, and surprisingly, he didn't argue.And what about what happened in Epic Cu? Who knew witches were real
Urban Vampire Chapter 99
While Julie and I flashed ourselves back to the mansion, Karen and Monica had to wait until morning when Tyler was released from the hospital and then the three of them could fly back together.I told Julie that she could flash herself back to her own home, but she declined the offer. Julie had a big ass mansion that was part funhouse, part modern contemporary. Julie obviously didn't want me alone in the mansion, and I welcomed her company. Mara and Kat, my other two assistants, had done an excellent job putting the house back together in our absence. Kat had even done some redecorating in the living room. I liked the improvements. As nice as the house was and even with my own touches, this house had never felt like my own. I rested here, I conducted business here, but it wasn't home.I went into the media room and relaxed on a leather chair. I needed to unwind with a collection of old Blaxploitation movies I had collected while human. I selected a movie that would stir up memorie
Urban Vampire Chapter 100
"I wasn't aware that there was a Council meeting tonight—and in my home." They stared at me, stared at my lack of scars, stared at my exposed flesh.Cyrene broke the silence. "We were informed by the Barcelona Council of an altercation that happened last night."I gestured for them to follow me into the newly redecorated living room. Bastards hadn't wasted any time telling on me!When I went to close the door after them, I saw Monica watching from the other room so I decided to keep it open. There would be no secrets between us concerning this matter.I reentered the room and sat in a new wingchair upholstered in a mellow mustard fabric. A rich brown silk pillow offset it and my outfit perfectly. "Make yourselves comfortable," I said.Kaniji chose the sofa, and Frank sat near her. Keada chose an oversized leather chair, and Cyrene sat in the matching chair opposite her. Tony remained standing, watching me. I met his eyes even though I wanted to ignore him. I needed to gauge hi
Urban Vampire Chapter 101
I glanced at Tony, but he had not budged and still looked at a space beyond me. "It was their poor choice to force us to go there," I said. "It's their own fault they didn't know Alexis was in me. They struck first when Esmeralda smacked me, breaking my neck, and bloodying my nose." I could feel Tony's eyes move to me then."And when Tyler tried to protect me, Esmeralda broke her wrist. Julie was thrown across the room, and only then did Alexis come. But he came from inside of me."Frank nodded. "Her words are not lies.""Well," Cyrene said, "it seems that they weren't very hospitable to an American Council member.""Why don't you ask her what she said to cause her to get slapped?" Kaniji asked."I asked her why she was asking me so many questions about Alexis," I said."And she slapped you for that?" Frank asked."No. She didn't just slap me. She hit me with her power and it knocked me out of my chair and broke my neck. I couldn't even turn my head when my people began to s
Urban Vampire Chapter 102
We spent the majority of the evening making calls. I didn't have many contacts so I left the calling up to the ladies. After several hours I had time to think and had come to a conclusion. I needed to talk to Tony. It should have never ended the way it did considering how important he had been to my recovery—to me. And of course I still loved him, but I couldn't be his woman, not after a betrayal like this. What Tony wanted was an old school relationship where he's the man and the woman is a distant second. This wasn't about throwing Tony away for Alexis because it would be a long time before I could be with Alexis. I just only wanted some closure.I materialized on Tony's front porch and rang the bell trying not to think too hard.Mei Wah opened the door. "Miss Kim. Come in.""Hi, Mei Wah." I entered the mansion. "Is Tony home?"Mei Wah shut the door behind us. He sighed, which was something I hadn't seen him do before. "He is here. I will tell him you are here."I folded my
