“Can we have more after this one?” I wonder.
“Can I rest a little after the first one and then?” she chuckles.
“Of course,” I nod. “But not too long.”
“Well, thanks,” she laughs. The melody of her laughter fills the woods around us. It is the most wonderful sound I’ve ever heard.
“Come,” I take her by the hand. “I’m taking you home.”
“I know where that is now,” she says suddenly.
“You do?” I wonder. “Where?”
I expect her to say in the vampire town, where I took her after we left the shifter area. That is where my home has always been, and that is where I took her. but her reply surprises me.
“Wherever you are,” she says. “A castle, a shack. Outside or inside. In the darkness or in the light, my home is by your side, wherever that may be.”
“Bianca…” I whisper her name, overpowered by love for this sweet, tender little thing, who has so much strength and courage inside of her. “Your heart has always known mine, even before I myself was certain of that. Now, I shall never let you go.”
With those words, I squeeze her hand and lead her out of the woods. We go back home, back where she belongs… by my side.

Here’s a FREE Preview to Nikki Grey’s new release “Vampire Royalty: Paranormal Romance Box Set”
Summoned by the vampire royalty…
As a bounty hunter, I kill vampires.
I do not feel attracted to them.
And I most definitely do not act on my desires.
Vampires are evil.
Or so I used to think until I met him.
He isn’t just any vampire.
He’s an alpha, their leader.
Power oozes from him, enveloping me into a velvety caress.
His energy darts up my spine like electricity.
Intoxicated, I can’t resist this vampire’s pull.
I’m losing my mind.
And most importantly, my heart.
It’s too late to run.
