about what the battle fuck is going on. Bama, check the case of wine, I think we are going to need it, Kira move the chairs back to where they were, and everyone get back right where you were.”
The Enforcer opened his mouth to protest, and Cami stared at him with an evil glint in her eye. He knew she could make his life miserable, unless he followed orders. With one last longing glance at the woman who was his mate, Marshall turned and walked back to the door. The other Enforcers were standing there grinning at the chaos their leader seemed to be involved in.
“ Dude, they dropped your pants in front of your mate.”
“ Fuck off and do your job, or I will call your mate and tell her you were looking at Cloe in the lingerie department,” Marshall snapped, and the Enforcers shut up.
He walked over, sat on the small couch next to her, and put his arm around her. She sunk into his side and smiled.
"Everything okay?” she asked as he reached over and clicked her seatbelt into place.
"We are good to go. The luggage is being loaded now. Do you want anything before we take off?” he asked as he tightened her belt.
"No, I'm fine, thanks.” She laid her head on his shoulder again and closed her eyes, inhaling his masculine scent. He smelled of the woods and home to her. It was a nice feeling to know that she had someone by her side when she was going to an unknown place to do who knew what.
She drifted off to sleep listening to his heartbeat as the plane took off.
Chapter Three
Bane was on edge. He needed to speak with Orfeo to ensure that everything was secure. The villa was being prepared for their new guests, as they would be arriving this evening. He entered the main house and proceeded to Orfeo's office. As he turned to go down the hallway, he saw Cat coming out of the office with a smile on her face. She had a faraway look in her eyes as if she was daydreaming.
"Good afternoon, Cat,” he said as he approached her.
"Oh, hey, Bane. How are you? How go the preparations?” she said as she turned toward him, straightening her blouse. No doubt about what had been happening in that office, he just hoped it wasn’t in the chair he sat in. Damn, since his boss had found his mate, you never knew where the hell they were going to be screwing around. Tripp had to be around somewhere, or else he was sure that next, he would walk in on them doing the nasty—it would not be the first time.
"All is well. They are putting the finishing touches on the villa now. Is Orfeo available?” he asked and laughed when she grinned at him.
"Yeah, he was just on the phone, nice and relaxed, you can thank me later. Go on in. I'm going to go over to the villa and make sure that the pantry is stocked. See you later.” She proceeded to the front of the house as he went into the office. Orfeo was sitting at his desk, straightening his clothes. He glanced up when Bane cleared his throat. His boss looked at him with a challenging look.
"Bane, how is everything?” Orfeo said smoothly.
"You are doing better than me, at least that is what Cat seemed to think.” Bane laughed when his normally straight-laced boss frowned. Bane shook his head; he knew he was out of the norm for a Vampire, since most seemed to be very serious. Bane never saw the need in it. Hell, when you were able to live a thousand lifetimes, what the hell did you have to be serious about? Fuck up, and you can fix it when everyone dies who knew what happened. “All preparations have been made. We have added security to the grounds as a precaution. I am going with the guards to meet our guests at the airport."
"Good. Make sure they feel welcome and are comfortable in the villa. We will all meet for breakfast here in the morning," Orfeo instructed and then Bane looked at his boss, he was his Sire and friend also, one Bane trusted with his life. One he would protect with his own as well.
Bane nodded his head and turned to go out but hesitated. He turned back to
