think ya see somethin’ ya like, am I right?” Bryn said to Lauren as he walked forward.  The closer he got, the harder she pushed back into the heavy metal appliance, so much so, she thought her molecules would merge with the refrigerator’s.
    He stopped when his massive chest was just millimeters from hers.  When he looked at her, and she looked up into those blue eyes, she was trapped.
    Movement against her belly told her he had reached for her, and she didn’t attempt to stop him.   Warm fingers spread slowly and weaved beneath the tie of the robe, sliding around from her belly to her sides to her back. 
    Even more slowly, he pulled her to him and Lauren let her head drop back as his lips found her neck and began to nip at her throat.  Was he going to drink from her?
    A breath caught in Lauren’s throat and she held it.  She wanted him to.   She’d always been curious, but more than that, she wanted this man’s mouth buried against her. 
    “ Ya taste sweet, like fresh honey.   Ah, lass, tell me that ya want this.”
    I do .  But she whispered, “I can’t.  I’m not a part of your world, vampire.”  It was true.  He’d blow out of there and she’d be left empty. 
    But wouldn’ t it be okay to let him fill her, just for one night?
    “Once ye’re with me, ya will be.”
    Bryn lifted her and carried her to the bed, but winced when he got a full look at it.   He gently lowered her to the floor.
    “That won’t do.  Not for what I plan to do with ya.  Wait.”
    He pulled the blankets off the bed and spread them in the center of the floor, shoving her sparse furniture against the back wall.  While he worked, Lauren watched his muscles as he moved.  So beautiful, these bodies made from blood of vampires who had been here for over a thousand years.
    Laur en was shaking her head when he finished and looked up at her.
    “What worries ya?”
    “I don’t belong with you.  You are from a magnificent species.  You are all so perfect and powerful.  I know what I am, and I’m smaller than you.  Not just physically, I don’t mean that, but…”
    Bryn yanked the tie from the robe and pushed it off her shoulders as he came to her on his knees and wrapped his arms around her.  Even on his knees, he still reached to the top of her head.  And he just held her.  For minutes, they just held on, hugged, touching, bare skin to bare skin.
    Moments later, Bryn pulled back and touched his tongue to one of her nipples.
    “Ye’re grand, lass.  Don’t mistake me for anything other than a man who wants ya.  I don’t know why, but I do, and stronger than any woman I’ve met in a very many years.  I remember ya, little scientist.  I remember the cautious, quiet woman who showed up at a vampire’s lair with no thought of her own survival just to protect one of my own.”
    As he spoke, his fingers trave led downward, caressing her skin.
    “I remember y e’re eyes, most of all, and how brave ya were.  It is that woman I want to get inside.  Aw, now, lass, will ya have me?”
    Lauren released a long slow breath as Bryn’s hand slid lower, and between her legs.   She didn’t stop him, and she didn’t plan to.

    “I had her, damn it!”
    Claude paced while he spoke with the phantom on the other side of the line.
    “I was moments from taking her and a fucking man showed up.  A fucking vampire!  One of those outrageously huge ones.”
    Listening, Claude shook his head.  “No.  No, I won’t wait.  I have to take her tonight.  I’ve been after this bounty for nearly a year. I refuse to lose it in the last seconds of the hunt just because a vampire suddenly shows up to fuck her.  What is wrong with these crazy women?  She knows what they are!  Listen, I need you to send me one of your locals.  I’ll pay double if he can be here within half an hour.”
    He waited until the asshole on the other end of the connection finally agreed.
    Good.  It
