stopping to go home and crawl into bed. The amount of work we got done was astounding. Everyone seemed to take in the new rules and regulations gracefully, glad to actually have a useful role in the FBI.
Wednesday night , I was so wiped I made myself call it an early night. I pulled into the parking lot of my apartment at seven. Climbing out of my car, with take - out in hand, I closed the door and locked it. Th at ’ s the only excuse I have for not hearing my attacker . I was just too tired to be paying attention.
I was only able to catch a glimpse of his dark silhouette before h e slammed me against the side of my car, knocking my keys and food from my hands. Unfortunately, they were still trapped under my body, making it impossible for me to reach my gun. He took advantage of that, grabbing a handful of my long h air and pulling my head to the side. As soon as my throat was exposed , he sank his fangs in my neck, drinking deeply.
I felt every hair on my body stand on end as power crawled along my body. I could feel myself slip inside of his head, learning his deepest, darkest secrets and longings. Some part of me was evilly laughing as I learned how to squash this man in the worst way possible. Oh this was a new trick I didn ’ t think I wanted to have.
But, it also showed me what I had to do to get out of this mess. “ Vampire, ” I said in a seductive voice I ’ d never heard out of my mouth . There was also a quality of deepness to it that didn ’ t seem my own. Not Good ! I was scaring myself and my inner evil bitch was loving the fact that something big was about to happen.
The vampire instantly stopped drinking then released his hold on me. I turned around and drew my gun to face him, but he had fallen down on one knee with his head bowed .
“ What would you have of me, my mistress? ” he asked in a velvety voice , his head tilting up and his gaze fix ing intently on mine , almost like he was in a trance . “ You have only to ask and I shall do as you command. ”
“ Wait, what? ” I asked stunned. What had the inner evil bitch done?
“ I am yours now, my lady, ” he answered. “ Do with me what you will. ”
“ What do you mean, you are mine? ” Now my neck and my head hurt.
“ You have made me your s and have nullified all other allegiances . I am your vampire now and you are my sovereign . ”
“ You can ’ t be mine . ” I sh oo k my head , unwilling to accept that . “ I didn ’ t make you a vampire. ”
“ No, but you r magic has overruled all others and tied me to you. ” He glanced at me curiously now. “ But I never felt such a tie to another before. It as if I would do anything to please you. ” He reached up to touch m y cheek and I stepped along the car and further from him.
“ Saying vampire made you mine? ” I asked stunned, putting my gun back in its holster .
“ Yes, my lady , but it was not the word and you know it. You felt the magic. ” I swallowed loudly and nodded. I did. I wish to hell I hadn ’ t because that power and the feeling I got , which I was planning on calling my inner evil bitch, scared the crap out of me.
“ So if I told you I wanted you to go jump off a bridge… ”
“ I would have to obey your command, ” he replied. “ I live only to serve you now. You are my master. ”
“ Well that ’ s a one-eighty from trying to kill me. ”
“ I am sorry, my lady. My last master ordered me to kill you, it was not my wish. ” He shrugged as if to say bygones . “ If we are given a direct command from the master we swear allegiance to , we have to obey. ”
“ Okay, well I need to think about this .” Then I rolled my eyes when I realized he was still kneeling on the ground. “ For god sakes, stand up. ”
Like a flash he was on his feet, holding out my keys and food to me. I took both hesitantly, before reaching my hand up to my neck. Thankfully he just drank, and didn ’ t try to tear out my throat. There was still a fair
