He smiled. “That’s because you feel a connection, the same one I do. I can see it in your eyes,” he said as he stretched his arm over to the dresser, pulled the drawer open. Smiling at hearing foil packages being pushed over the wooden drawer. His hand raised in the air, a condom between his fingers.
“Once we bind, I’m not wearing one of these again,” he said, his eyebrows raised. “You need to trust yourself. You can prevent a bind.”
“I know, but this isn’t about me. This is to protect you from the dark king,” I said.
Pulling me closer, he pressed me into his chest. He stared for the briefest of moments before his lips raised onto mine.
My hearing magnified, I stopped at hearing the front door open, and then a rustling of feet as they crept inside. I put my finger over my lips, looking at Blake. Sliding off his body, I ran to my wardrobe and pulled out a pair of leggings and a plain white top.
“Come back, you’re still mine for a little longer,” Blake said, his sexual desire laced in his tone.
“There’s people in the house, at least five,” I said. “And at this minute, they’re still downstairs. They’ll be too quiet to wake Seb and Ryan.”
Blake jumped out of bed before I said anything else. “Lacey, don’t you dare look,” he said. “Shit, my clothes are downstairs.”
“I’ll be fine. Nobody can harm me in this house,” I said.
“Do you always go against your knights?” Blake asked.
I smiled. “You already know the answer to that question.” I opened the bottom drawer and threw Blake a pair of sweatpants. “Carter left them here.”
“Lacey,” Blake hissed, but I ran out of the bedroom, tried to open Ryan’s door, but it was locked. I gave a quick knock and swiftly moved to Seb’s door before Blake could stop me.
I opened Seb’s door. “Seb, intruders, downstairs.”
He jumped out of bed. I left him, and I crept to the staircase, holding onto the banister to tiptoe downstairs. I reached the bottom and glanced into the family area.
“Fucking vampires,” I whisper hissed to myself. Seeing five slim, tall men, all black-haired and pale, apart from one that wasn’t. He had definitely had a feed lately. His skin was much pinker than the others.
“Come out, Miss Summer,” the voice said. But it wasn’t Maxim Volkov. His voice was much smoother. This voice was low and masculine.
“Why are you here?” I asked, glancing around as I moved into the family area, keeping my back against the wall as I did.
“Maxim is angry,” the man replied.
I snorted as I rolled my eyes to the ceiling. “Shame.”
“You need to return with us, otherwise Mr Volkov will start his rampage.”
I shook my head. “That’s not my problem.”
I gasped as one vampire moved with such speed I only saw dust.
Dark dust.
But I shook that off and tensed up, ready for the fight that was coming. “Don’t come any closer,” I said, holding my hand toward him. He stopped where he was, but another vampire moved to my right and stopped the same distance from me.
“He is extremely angry now. You were supposed to at least listen to his deal,” the vampire with the baritone voice said. “My name is Danil, I am here to restart negotiations.”
“I’m not interested in making a deal with Maxim, regardless of the contents,” I said, monitoring the men at my sides but still in my peripheral vision.
“Lacey, do you want to start a war?” Danil said.
“I won’t be the one starting a war. The vampires will,” I hissed. “Walk away.”
“I can’t do that,” he replied. “My job is to collect you.”
I stared at the men and pushed my palms out to use my paralysing magic.
