Vamp takes my face in his large hands, "Look at me, Lenna." I turn my eyes up toward him, my body unconsciously turning to him, heating up as his hand moves down to hold onto my hip. "I will get your children back. I will save your family. And I will not let you go back to that hellhole. This is what I do. I put my life on the line to save people who need saving."
"They shot at you. They're going to kill you, Vamp!"
He just shrugs, "Then I die. But I die knowing I did everything in my power to save you. And you can bet your pretty little ass that you and your babies will be safe with my brothers if it comes to that."
"Just like that? You're willing to die for somebody you don't even know?"
Vamp smiles, "Yup. Just like that, baby."
"Don't you have anybody who would miss you? How could you do that?"
"Sure, my brothers would miss me. But we all know the oath we took when we joined this brotherhood. We're here to do our duties to those innocents who need our help."
I slowly take a bite of my food, gazing up at Vamp, "That's very noble of you."
Vamp chuckles, "Sure. It's not really a second thought. Even before joining the club I was always looking out for people."
"What did you do before this? What do you even do now?"
"I...well I was kind of a wanderer. I was just trying to find my place in this world when I met Mace in jail. I had nowhere to go after I got out so he offered me a room to rent. Started doing a few things around the clubhouse when Pres offered for me to prospect for them. I said yes and here I am. They're my chosen family."
"And your real family?"
Vamp's eyes darken, "My dad...is gone. We were close and he passed away from cancer a while ago. My mom and I never got along. Parents had divorced when I was little so she was always bitter that I had a better relationship with him."
"That's sad. My family is everything to me."
"Even your father?"
I shrugged, "It's complicated. My father cares for all of us in his own way. He's...lost to The Prophet."
Vamp nods and I take the chance to get a good look at him. He's not huge like some of the other guys, but he certainly is taller than me. Tattoos run up his neck, playing peek-a-boo beneath his shirt. His five-o-clock shadow is starting to show, giving him a rugged, yet sexy look. And those mysterious grey eyes; like the last ashes of an autumn fire, a secretive warmth lies beneath them. Your body wants to move closer to that last flickering flame you know is underneath. His dark hair is ruffled from the riding today, but looks perfectly styled for him.
He clears his throat making me jump, "Uh, sorry. I'll let you eat in peace. If you need anything just holler. I'll be at the bar and there's always somebody around."
As he starts to get up, I reach out, "Please stay. I'm enjoying the company."
"You sure?"
"Absolutely."
Vamp sits back down, "Alright then. What do you wanna talk about?"
"What's your real name. Because I know it's not Vamp."
He chuckles, "You're right. That's my road name, we all have them. My name is Colson. My dad used to call me Cole."
"I like it."
Vamp smiles, "Good. Now tell me about your babies."
"I love them so much, Vamp. They are my everything. They were an unexpected miracle. When The Prophet had brought me into his office, he told me this was what the lord was telling him to do. That it was okay because we would soon be married. He told me I wasn't fertile yet. But it was all a lie. Then he told me it was all my fault. But I didn't care. Johan and Ceceilla are beautiful little miracles."
"And they're two?"
I nod, "Yes. And full of energy. I just finished breastfeeding them and that's...that's when he took them. He ripped them away from me saying it was time. That I could have them back after we spent time together."
I can feel the tears running down my face as Vamp reaches out to hold me. The damn breaks and I let the tears flood my eyes. Memories of my babies running through my mind. Vamp just holds me as I sob, gently laying back with me on the bed.
