Chapter 14
One of the perks of being a vampire was the increase in things like speed and strength. I appreciated it as I rushed from my car into the house in search of my son. I was so engrossed in getting to him that I’d forgotten that I’d become a vampire until I saw the look of fright on Cynthia’s face as she ceased descending the stairs with my son in her arms when I flew into the foyer of the house.
I stopped short in front of the hall mirror to inspect myself. I looked the same. I could only assume that it was my speed of movement that clued her in to the fact that there was something different about me. I cursed myself for my thoughtlessness. I would have preferred to have time to be around her for a while so that she could see that she wasn’t in danger from me before I confided in her that I’d turned into a vampire. Now, I had no choice but to admit to it and hope for the best.
“So, you made the change while you

Lucile was a delightful middle-aged woman who was human with absolutely no fear of anything supernatural. She seized every opportunity between courses to babble on about the supernatural families that she’d cooked for over the years. Although most were vampire families, she’d worked for a werewolf and a witch household as well. She made sure to point out that she much preferred the vampires.Dinner was vegetarian, which had been my preference before I became a vampire and was most definitely a must now that I was one. There was something about the protein in red meat and poultry that didn’t settle with a vampire. They could eat it, but the odds were that they’d suffer for it. Since the main staple for survival was blood, and food was a secondary item, most vampires chose to avoid foods that they knew wouldn’t settle well, no matter how delicious it might taste. I was no exception.Jasper sat so close to me at the dinner table that I

Jasper had made himself my self-appointed protector. Because of this, he was at my house so much that it was hard to tell if he was a resident or not. As a result, we spent a good deal of time getting to know each other. Besides the fact that his centuries of life had been full of adventure and interesting experiences that I loved to listen to him tell stories about, I found that we had a tremendous amount of likes and dislikes in common.He discovered my affinity for fine food and five-star restaurants and went out of his way to take me to one each week. It was during one of these nights out that I was accosted by a vampire, who the restaurant’s bartender called Joe, while making my way to the ladies room. Being a much older vampire with a burly body, his strength superseded mine. By the time Jasper realized what was happening, I was well on my way to being raped in the alley behind the building.I’d seen enraged vampires figh

Being a bit superstitious myself, I insisted that we not go somewhere that I’d gone with Max or Evan. We looked at the list of states that had no waiting period for marriage. Jasper suggested Vermont. I think I would have preferred a warmer climate, but, although cool, the weather was still fine. So, while I called Megan to explain what we were up to, Jasper hired a private plane to take us there.Megan didn’t express the excitement that I’d expected from her, but then, she’d been a bit subdued since I’d returned from imprisonment. I tried on several occasions to have a private conversation with her about it, but, somehow, we were always interrupted; either by Cynthia or Jasper. I made myself a promise that I’d insist we talk when Jasper and I returned.I was no longer nursing, so I didn’t have to worry about getting home to feed Joseph. Even so, I wasn’t comfortable being away from him for too lon

As our passion rose, we lost track of time. As luck would have it, Jasper was in the middle of his release when we heard a loud knock at the door. I felt sorry for him as he tried to hurry his orgasm along so that we could separate and scramble for our clothes.As it was, he had to quickly put on his pants while I scooped my clothes up into my arms and hustled my naked body to the master bedroom so that I could clean up and make myself presentable as fast as I was able.“You said we had time,” I hissed as I headed up the stairs.“I said if we hurried,” he grinned. “Sadly, my dear, there’s no hurrying past your lusciousness.”I rolled my eyes as I scooted behind closed doors and scurried about to get ready.My vampire hearing allowed me to pick up several voices. They were spouting off few jokes about the sweet scent of sex permeating the cabin. They laughed and teased about honeymooners un

I insisted on going alone to the private airport to pick up Megan and my son. Jasper wasn’t happy about it, but, since he was technically the host, his Southern, aristocratic upbringing required that he stay with his guests. I assured him that I’d return in no time, grabbed the keys, and headed out the door. I was so muddled by the events of the night that I had to swallow my pride and turn back inside to put on a pair of shoes.Peter came out of the bedroom at that time with Eliza hot on his heels. Even if we hadn’t heard her moans and cries of erotic delight, just the sight of her would clue anyone in on what had just occurred. I could smell the sex on them as they passed by me to join Jasper and Thomas at the bar and was mortified to realize that was also the scent that greeted them upon their arrival. Placing Eliza in front of him, Peter seized the opportunity to graze the back of my neck with his fingertips as he walked by while I focu

I waited until the house was silent before I crept out of my room. I felt ill and needed air. Maybe Jasper was right, and I was feeling the aftereffects of not giving my body the blood it needed to stay healthy.I had on my sweater, but since I was used to much warmer weather, I wrapped an autumn themed afghan around me as well before I stepped out onto the porch that ran the full length of the back of the cabin.I was leaning against the log siding with my eyes closed when Peter’s voice came through the night. “I thought you didn’t love me anymore.”“I know,” I sniffed. “I still need to come to terms with what Evan did. I’ve been avoiding dealing with it. It hurts too much.”“Do you still love me?” he asked as he leaned on the wall next to me and looked out into the night. He was so close that our shoulders touched, but he made no move to do more.“I al

The following morning, I was awoken by a knock on the door. Megan had stayed the night in my room with me, so she hurried to respond. Peter gave her a friendly smile as he slipped through the opening she created when she pulled the thick oak door open enough to allow him entrance.“In all the raucous, I don’t know if I mentioned how good it is to see you, Megan,” he said as he walked to the bed and set a bed tray containing a blood bag, some fresh fruit, crackers, and coffee onto the bottom of the bed. “I guessed that you’d be in here with her, so I brought enough for two.”“I’ll pass on the blood,” she said with a smirk, “but I’m happy for the coffee.”“The pink mug is yours,” he grinned. “Light with two sugars, right?”Her eyes sparkled with pleasure. “You’ve got a good memory, doc.”“Only for those peopl

It was still dark when I heard the sound of battle outside of our bedroom. I was surprised to see Jasper sleeping through it. It was loud enough to wake the dead. I vigorously shook him while calling his name, but he made no move toward waking. He felt cool, but he was sleeping without covers over his torso and the body temperature of a vampire was low to begin with. His muscles felt limp and lifeless. Was he even breathing? I placed my ear to his chest, but I was suddenly distracted by a horrific thud against my bedroom door.I worried about his seemingly lifeless condition in the back of my mind as I hopped out of bed and threw on a robe that I found hanging in the closet. It was several sizes too big for me, but it was the quickest thing I could find to cover my nakedness so that I could open the door to see what was happening.Megan’s body lay limp and inert on the floor just outside of my room. I gasped with shock and dismay as I knel
