She pulled back
quickly, but not quick enough to get away from his arms tightening around her.
“No, please do not leave. I enjoy
you there, Megan. Come, let me make you mine. We will settle the other
differences later.”
She shoved him. Megan didn’t mean
to hurt him again; she just had had enough of these idiots telling her what she
was going to do. When he stumbled over the wolf just behind them she nearly
burst out laughing when the wolf yelped and the man cursed. He was very good a
stringing them together very colorfully. The wolf shifted and stood up.
“Christ, you’re naked.” Megan
turned her back to him quickly and now faced Aaron. He didn’t look any happier
than the man behind her.
“Megan Reed, I’ve had more than
enough of your antics tonight. You’ll come back to the mansion with me and we
will finish this once and for all.” Aaron’s voice thundered over her.
“Fuck you, King Dingdong. That
bare-assed man behind me took my car; the one on the ground, the asshole that
thinks he can set down rules and regulations like my fucking daddy, is making
me want to murder him, and you? You walk around like some sort of lord of the
assholes and tell me you are my master? I don’t think so. I’ve had it up to my
eyeballs in arrogant, demanding men. I’m going home.”
Megan would wonder for days how it
happened. One second she was stalking off toward the cave and the next she was
in a house. She jerked her arm from the lord of demands and backed away from
him. When arms came about her waist to stop her she looked over her shoulder to
see the Master Dingdong standing behind her. She looked around for the wolf and
was happy to see he’d not made the trip with them.
“He can’t teleport. But I’m sure he’ll
be by later to see how things are. For some reason Bradley thinks very highly
of you,” Aaron told her softly.
“Come here, Megan, and have a
seat. These two will leave us alone and we’ll have a nice conversation. Aaron,
take Beau for a little walk, please?”
Megan looked at the very beautiful
woman sitting on the couch. She looked ready to pop she was so far along in her
pregnancy. Suddenly, Megan was dizzy and sat down hard on the chair closest to
her. The man the woman on the couch had called Beau was pressing her head
between her knees.
~~~
Beau could feel her hunger and
wondered why she didn’t say something. When he looked over at Sara, he knew
without a doubt that Megan meant to die by starvation just as she had told him.
He’d never seen a vamp die that way, but he knew from stories that it was a
long and painful process. When Sara and Aaron sat down together Beau lifted
Megan’s chin with his finger.
“I’ve treated you badly, ma très chère. I am sorry. Come, you must
feed. I will offer you my vein and you will take what you need.” The tears in
her eyes nearly had him gather her into his arms, but at this point he wasn’t
sure she wouldn’t try to hurt him again. He simply ran his thumb over her cheek
and smiled.
“Let me go, please? I don’t want
to be here. I just want to be left alone. I murdered that man’s kid. Don’t you
see what that means?”
Before Beau could answer her,
Aaron spoke up. “You didn’t murder his kid, Megan. You couldn’t have. If you
had tried, another vampire would have killed you. While you are very powerful,
I can’t believe that you’d kill another of your kind.”
“A vampire? I didn’t…the only
person I’ve killed was a man. He was just there when I found him. He was taking
a leak in the alley and I drained him dry. He was dead before I left. But he
wasn’t any vampire.”
She sat up when Duncan, the
houseman to the MacManuses, walked into the room with a tray. It was the
biggest thing she’d ever seen and it was filled with all sorts of pastries and
two empty glasses. When he set the tray on a small table she noticed a bag of
blood. Her fangs dropped so quickly that she covered her mouth to hide them. Beau
reached
quickly, but not quick enough to get away from his arms tightening around her.
