fingers over the bruise that was forming on her arm. "Give us time, Lacey. All of us are going to have to learn how to deal with each other."
    She turned in his arms and stared at him. "After all of this is done and we head to see Dan's family, where are we going to live?"
    "Where would you like to live?" She stared up at him with her blue eyes.
    "I'd like to live here on Earth, at least for a little while. I want to help find others out there. I know there are more of us out there hidden and afraid."
    Their woman had a huge heart. "We'll discuss it with Anthony and Dan later." He leaned down, capturing her lips with his. He traced the gentle warm skin with his tongue before slipping inside her mouth. She relaxed in his arms, her tongue meeting his in a hesitant touch. She whimpered, needing his touch.
    Not wasting a second, Isaac wrapped his hand in her long blond hair, holding her steady for his exploring. Her teeth were different than that of a human or his kind. They were sharp to the touch, her tongue a little rough like that of a cat, but her taste was her own and it made him want to spend hours just kissing her.
    "Hey, you two going to come here so we can talk?" Akaos yelled down, interrupting his pillage.
    "I'm with Dan. We need to kill my brother," Isaac said leaning his forehead against hers. She laughed and stood on her toes to place a quick kiss on his lips.
    "We have plenty of time for kisses later. Come on, I'm hungry." She grabbed his hand and started to pull him back into the control room.
    "Lady Cat, why are you being so cooperative now? I would have thought you'd put up more of a fight with the bonding," he asked as Lacey climbed the stairs.
    At first he didn't think she'd answer when they'd walked down the hall into the kitchen. She whistled and looked all around her. "Wow, now this is a kitchen." She released his hand and ran it over the dark green marble counter top.
    "You're not the only ones who have been watching. I've kept my eye on you and Anthony for a while. With Dan, even before he changed, I knew he was something to me, but I'm afraid I don't do well when dealing with others in a social environment. Well, unless I'm at the club and that is a controlled setting."
    She peaked over at Dan and he winked at her. Her face turned a little pink. "So I kind of figured something was happening to us, it just hard to trust someone else when you’ve been alone for over thirty years." Lacey faced him. "So I'll also ask you for time to adjust to everything. I'll make mistakes, Isaac." She looked down at the ground. "You should know, my father was one of the shifters to start the uprising three years ago in Chicago." Lacey glanced at Akaos sitting at the table.
    "How do you know this?" His brother asked, his legs out in front of him, but Isaac knew Akaos. He was not relaxed. He was wound up, ready to explode.
    Placing his body in front of Lacey, Isaac tugged on a strand of her hair. "No one is perfect, Lacey. As I said, we will all make mistakes, but together we will get through this." He pulled her over to him as he sat down and placed her onto his lap.
    "Now explain why you believe your father started the uprising?" Isaac leaned in and took a deep breath of her hair.
    "It's easy, really. If I'm not mistaken, you were there for the first battle, Akaos?" His brother nodded and waited.
    "There was a battle cry before the fighting actually started between the shifters and your people. 'Bloodsuckers will not take my Princess! Kill every one of them!" Lacey squirmed on his lap. "We all watched it on TV. My father started it, but in the next few minutes he was gone, allowing the others to fight for him." She leaned back and pulled his arms tighter around her.
    "I was sick that night. I saw at least six of the men that had killed my family there. I had nightmares for a good six months until Maya demanded to know everything. That's also the night we planned all this. It' took us a while, but we did it. We hired
