couldn’t wait. His eyes dropped to her lips, which she licked in
anticipation.
    Just
as she was sure he would do the deed, he pulled back. “Get dressed. We need to
go.”
    Damn
but she hated the disappointment, hated her desire for him even more. He was
such a jerk. Firstly, because he made her want to kiss him. Secondly, because
he didn’t damn well kiss her.
    When
she turned to him, he was fully dressed in leathers just as Lance had been. He
looked every bit the warrior and acted every bit the king. “You have one minute
and then I’m coming to get you. Understood?” He didn’t wait for a reply.
Instead, he strode from the room shutting the door behind him.
    Tanya
pulled off the sticky dress. The audacity of the man to come all over her. What
the hell was his problem? There was a small, teeny, tiny part of her deep down
inside that was secretly thrilled Zane had been so turned on by her. Then
again, she huffed, he was a man and anything with boobs and a pussy was
normally enough. She pulled the green dress up over her body. A bit of a tight
fit around the girls, but it seemed to fit alright. Next she grabbed her
toiletry bag and headed for the restroom.  She readjusted her boobs and gave
herself the once over. Not too shabby. The green really worked against her
complexion and the shape of the dress accentuated her curves in a good way. Her
hair was a mess. Tanya unzipped the bag and quickly tried to tame it. Next, she
put paste on the toothbrush and had just started on her teeth when Zane walked
in. His big body took up the entire door frame as he leaned against the jamb.
Despite his warnings, he folded his arms across his chest and waited for her to
finish.
    He
followed her back into the bedroom where she decided to push her luck by
applying some mascara. With her lips puckered, she prepared to apply a coat of
lip-gloss.
    “You
don’t need all that crap.”
    “Us
humans enjoy it.
    “I’m
not human,” he growled.
    “Well
I am.” She ran the lip-gloss over her mouth. Applying a second coat for good
measure. “It’s not like you kiss me or anything anyway, so why would you care?” Oops , she hadn’t meant to say that. His brush off earlier must have
affected her more than she had thought.
    Zane
frowned, he opened his big leather trench coat and stuck his hands in the
pockets. “I don’t kiss females.”
    “As
in you don’t like it or…”
    “I’ve
never had the inclination.” He moved his weight from one leg to the other even
though both feet stayed on the ground.
    Her
mouth dropped open. After a few seconds of fly catching she snapped it closed.
“You’ve never kissed anyone before?”
    Zane
shook his head.
    “You’re
missing out you know?”
    His
mouth pulled into a thin white line. “I doubt it. Let’s go.”

 
     
     
     
    Chapter 12
     
    After
driving about a half hour, which took them deeper into the country, they
arrived at the area in question. Male vampires were everywhere. More piled out of
vehicles both in front of and behind them. The big vampire, Ross, approached
them as they pulled up. Zane grabbed her hand as she slid from the vehicle.
“Stay close.”
    “I
take it the area is secured,” Zane spoke softly.
    Ross
seemed surprised to see Tanya but quickly composed himself. The big vampire
cleared his throat. “Yeah. I sent scout parties out over a two mile radius. All
is clear.”
    “I
take it they chose this spot because it’s furthest from the castle.”
    “That
would be my guess. They were good to keep the prints to their side of the fence.
It was pure luck that one of the guards spotted the area at all. If you’ll
follow me.” Ross walked in the direction of the fence, crouching at a specific
area. He gestured to the barrier. “If you take a really good look, you’ll
notice how the wire has been welded back together.”
    Tanya
gasped, sure enough, there was a definite thickening where the wire had been
re-joined. The line was half a meter in a line perpendicular
