I sighed before motioning everyone except Tashi to step away. While I was in no way ashamed of René or his vampire heritage, I wasn't ready for the world to know just yet.
"René is half gryphon, half vampire. I fed him some of my blood while we were at the hospital. It helped with the healing."
"If that's true," Tashi said, "and you decide to keep him, you might want to consider having a pint of your blood on standby in case there is an emergency and he can't get to you."
"I've already claimed him. It's up to René to decide if he's keeping me."
"The jury is still out on that," René said as he walked around the partition with a black canvas bag.
I was shocked as shit when he dropped the bag at my feet and then wound his arms around my neck, pulling my head down to his. He pressed a kiss to my lips and then along my jaw line. By the time he reached my ear, my dick was as hard as a rock, and I was ready to tell everyone to get the hell out so I could take my consort to bed.
"Someone set up cameras in my bedroom."
Until René said that.
I stiffened for a moment and then turned and pressed a kiss to René's temple. "Hold that thought until we get home,gattino."
I kept René pressed against me as I turned to look at Luca and Tashi. "Make sure to lock up when you leave, Luca. We're going to head back to the hotel. Report to me as soon as you learn anything new."
"Yes, sir."
"Sato, grab René's bag. Tashi, you're with me." I didn't say anything because I couldn't be sure there weren't more cameras in the room. I just led René back to the elevator, waited until everyone was on, and then hit the button to head down to the first floor.
I was impressed with how calm René seemed to be, and by the fact that he didn't say a word until we were in the SUV and underway.
"Fuck, Alessandro, I found five cameras in my bedroom, and another three in the bathroom. What the hell is going on? Why is someone trying to film me?"
"I do not know, but I will." I quickly pulled out my phone and sent Luca a message to let him know about the cameras. I also asked him to check the rest of the loft to see if he could find anymore. If there were five in René’s bedroom alone, I'd bet anything the rest of the loft was littered with them.
"How much of our conversation do you think they heard?" René asked.
"Assume they heard all of it," Tashi said. "If someone is monitoring those cameras, they more than likely heard anything we said in your loft. We should assume they heard everything and act accordingly so we are not caught off guard later."
"Tashi is right, René," I said. "In situations like this, always assume the worst."
"That's a horrible way to live," René said.
"It is, but that doesn't make it any less true. If we hoped that they didn't hear anything, and we didn't act accordingly, then it could end up with one of us injured or dead, and none of us wants that. We just assume they heard everything and take precautions."
René's eyes narrowed. "What sort of precautions?"
He had a right to be wary.
"You get to experience some of those guards you hate so much."
"Alessandro!"
"Sorry,gattino. Until we figure out what is going on, I want you safe. Besides, didn't you say you were going to spend a week in my world?"
"Yes."
"This is part of my world."
René crossed his arms, his jaw jutting out. "I'm not a fan."
I had no doubt.
"Things will even out after we found whoever attacked you and put those cameras in your loft."
