Swept Away: The First Bloodline by Crystal Smith

them.
         "Let me go." She watched as his eyes softened again. Each time he blinked his eyes had changed colors.
         "Taylor, you promised me you would let me explain. Don't do this I beg you!"
         "No, let me go!" She was forceful, throwing the words to him.
     
         "Then you leave me no choice." He shook his head.
         "What's that supposed to mean? Tell me!" Now for the first time, she felt his words as a threat and fear replaced every motion she had been feeling.
         "I can do more than read your mind, feel your emotions and give you mind blowing orgasms. I can do this as well." She watched as he began to smile and she could feel her anger and fear leaving her yet again. With that same familiar little tickle, a peaceful feeling settled down on top of her, bleeding its way deep into her soul. And all the emotions that were just coming from seeing red eyes, were now gone, fading away to nothing more than just a memory.
         "How did you do that?" She had to know. It was amazing but her inquisitive mind needed answers. She no longer cared that his eyes were red, she only wanted to know how he made her feel so wonderfully alive. The feeling she had not felt in such a long time now being resurfaced by a new mystery man.
         "I can hear your thoughts, feel your emotions just as you do and I can control your mood. Make you feel as I want you to feel."
         Intriguing! Don't forget mind blowing orgasms. What else can you do?
         "You would be amazed at the things that I'm capable of. But I fear just as this is freaking you out, allowing you to know all of it at one time maybe too overwhelming for you. Let me just hold you tonight and then when you wake up, I will explain everything."
         Okay. I'm not ready to leave you anyways. I want you to hold me tight all night, even while I sleep. I want the feeling of safety and security, that I feel when I'm in your arms. I want to crawl into your chest, fall asleep, and wake up exactly the same.
         "My body is your Sweet. Trust me."
         Zach, Ashley.
     
         " No, don't worry. I have already spoken with your sister and she is taking care of them. She assured me to worry about nothing and I had to promise her something in return." She seen the look on Damien's face. She didn't like it. It made her nervous.
         "What did you promise her?" Answer me damn you! You can't say something like that and then just leave the girl hanging.
         "Calm down. I'm so not leaving you hanging." He smiled and she knew what he meant and he definitely didn't leave her hanging in the least little bit. "It's not bad entirely."
         "Entirely? Entirely!!! Tell me." Jesus, are you trying to give me a heart attack or just scared the shit out of me over and over tonight?
         "She asked me if I had a brother. I told her yes. So I kind of have to introduce them. But it doesn't really matter because it was only a matter of time anyways."
         That's it she thought. She looked at him puzzled as hell. She didn't understand why he seemed to think of that as a bad thing. "You make it sound like it's a bad thing. Is he a convict, married, gay, ugly, fat,? Come on I could go on forever here." She giggled feeling relief that it was nothing. Everyone had family members that embarrass them but come on. Really, this much anxiety was uncalled for her so she thought.
         "If only you knew you wouldn't think it was uncalled for." His voice fell to a whisper.  She watched his reaction.  Did I irritate him?
         "I'm not irritated, Sweet."
         "Stop that. I told you, I can handle you reading my mind, I can even handle you controlling my emotions but damn, at least let my thoughts be just that thoughts. Even if you know."
         His smiling was settled to her. "Agreed."
         He rolled off to the side of her pulling her closely to him. She snuggled in to him.  But she began to wonder why his body was
