of his chest. He
looked irritated.
    “What do you want?” Dominic asked
tersely.
    Nathaniel leaned in closer and spoke
softly so he wouldn’t be overheard. “Do you have a girl named Lydia in there
with you?”
    “What do you want?” Dominic asked again
with growing agitation. He didn’t want to share her. All of that energy was his .
    Nathaniel’s eyes narrowed. “I asked a
question, and I want an answer.”
    “She’s here,” Dominic admitted
reluctantly. “Why does that matter to you?”
    Without responding, he shoved Dominic
against the wall, and walked into the study wondering if all of his cousins
planned to give him grief that night. His gaze took in the scene quickly. Lydia
lay sprawled on the leather sofa wrapped in Dominic’s shirt, her eyes were
barely open. Dry blood stained her pale cheek. He felt another surge of
irritation which he quickly stifled. Agreeing to this party had been a mistake.
He was going to talk to all of his cousins in the morning and make sure no one
brought humans back to his house to feed on again.
    Nathaniel knelt beside her. “Hello,
Lydia. My name is Nathaniel,” he said gently.
    Lydia didn’t respond, or couldn’t
respond in his opinion.
    “Your cousin, Hannah, was feeling a bit
under the weather, and she’s fallen asleep. I think she had too much to drink.
She spilled red wine and had to borrow a shirt. I’m going to have a room
prepared for you to stay the night as well.”
    Dominic moved to stand closer to her. “I
will take care of her.”
    Nathaniel stood and looked around the
room once again. Then he looked at Lydia who was almost unconscious. “It
appears that you already have. For your sake, I hope that there are no marks
left for her cousin to see. I don’t want to have to alter her memory anymore
tonight.”
    Dominic looked amused. “So you’ve
altered her memory?”
    Nathaniel nodded. “Aiden attacked her so
it seemed like a good idea. Tomorrow they leave here, and don’t come back.”
    “Of course,” Dominic agreed in the same
amused tone. “I’m sure she won’t remember a thing. Now I must care for my
Lydia.”
    Nathaniel stepped closer to him, his
voice just above a whisper. “You are not to feed on her again.” Without another
word he turned and walked out of the room.
    Dominic grabbed Lydia's blouse, and then
scooped her up into his arms. There was only a faint hum of energy now. It was
still impressive considering how much he’d drained from her.
    “Where are we going?” she asked weakly.
    “I’m taking you to my bed.”
    She managed to smile, but it obviously
took a lot of effort. “You want more already?”
    He carried her the short distance to his
room, and laid her on his bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and watched her.
She tried to sit up and pull him toward her, but couldn’t.
    “Why are you staring at me?” she asked.
    It amazed him that she asked this so
calmly, not at all discomforted by her own helplessness.
    “I’m enjoying myself.” It was the truth.
Normally his hosts were unconscious after a feeding, but Lydia was strong.
    “I can think of an activity that you
might enjoy more,” she purred and to his amazement managed to sit up.
    His eyebrows rose in surprise, and then
he noticed that they weren't the only part of his body that had risen. He
pushed her back down onto the bed roughly.
    “Let’s see if you can sit up after
this,” he murmured.
    His lips pressed against hers, as she
unfastened his pants. The low hum of energy had increased in just those few
minutes, tempting him to feed again.

Chapter Five
    It was difficult for Hannah to claw her
way through the haze of sleep. When she finally managed to open her eyes, her
surroundings were unfamiliar. The sunlight coming through the crack in the
drapes confirmed that it was morning, but she was not in her own bed. She was
on a strange sofa, in a strange room, wearing a stranger’s shirt. It took her a
few minutes to remember the events of the previous
