"It's okay, baby. Let it all out. You're safe here and I'm going to get your babies back."
"What if he hurts them? He's evil, Vamp."
He looks at me with such fire in his eyes, "I promise you right now, Lenna. I will make him suffer for everything he's done to you."
Chapter five
Vamp
AfterLennahadcriedherself to sleep, I tucked her in and headed back to my room upstairs. I wanted to hunt down that bastard who hurt her and her children. This wasn't a normal feeling of wanting to do the right thing, this was feral energy. This primal need for revenge for my woman.
My woman? No.
I shake my head and sit up in my bed. Lenna wasn't mine. She couldn't be mine. Once we got her children, we would transition them both to a home on our compound then work with agencies to get them their own place. Lenna would be gone and the next survivor would be taking her spot.
Heading out of my room, I walk down to the kitchen for a late night snack. As I flip the one light on, I jump back at the small figure standing near the stove.
Lenna spins around and gasps, "Goodness!"
"What are you doing this late at night?"
She nervously giggles, "Baking. I can't sleep and this is relaxing to me."
I walk toward Lenna, leaning over her shoulder to peek inside of the bowl. As I exhale, I can see goosebumps break out across Lenna's arms. Her breath hitches in her throat and her body subconsciously moves closer to me. My hand moves to her hip and I can feel my body pushing closer.
"You cold, Lenna?"
She shakes her head, "Uh...um. Nope."
It's like a frigid glass of water is poured on me as I back away. What I'm doing is wrong. We have rules against relationships with the survivors. I could ruin everything, get kicked out of the club. I slowly lean against the kitchen island as Lenna gets back to work.
I watch as she moves through our kitchen with ease, rolling dough and placing things on cookie sheets. Lenna goes to reach for something in the cabinets up high, but can't quiet get her fingers on it.
"Need help?"
She laughs as she pushes even further on her toes, "Nope. I can do it."
I watch with a smile as she tries her hardest. Lenna is determined, that's for sure. Laughing, I shove off the island and walk over. Reaching above her, I grab the bag of sugar and place it down on the counter for her.
Lenna turns and smiles, "I guess I needed a little help, huh?"
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me."
Her smile lights up the whole room and I can't help how attracted I am to her. Those bright blue eyes, like pools of enchanted water, begging for you to just dip your toes in. Her creamy skin, curves in all the right places. She's fucking perfect in every goddamn way.
Lenna places her hands on my chest, leaning up to softly kiss me on the cheek, "Thank you, Vamp."
My heart is racing and I can't stop myself. I lean in close, so close our lips almost touch.
"Don't kiss me like that, Lenna."
She frowns, "Why?"
"I won't be able to fucking stop, baby. I know you can feel that attraction between us. There's that spark we both want to explore."
Lenna ducks under my arm, moving away and I curse under my breath. I pushed too far...
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Vamp. I shouldn't be here right now with you. This is all my fault."
