huh?”
    Dane’s lips curled into a snarl. “All she is to me is a piece of ass and my future blood-thrall, that’s it. Mind your tongue, man.”
    “ Nope, you got it bad buddy, I hate to tell you. How long have you known her?”
    “ Met her just last night.” Dane sucked in a breath, suddenly becoming annoyed with his friend. What the hell was up with the stupid ass questions?
    “ Yeah man, you’re losing your touch. Falling for a fairy when you first bed her down? Must be some damn good pussy.”
    “ Watch your mouth Big L.” He turned to his friend. “I never said I fucked her.”
    Lucas laughed heartily and patted his old friend on the back. “Just testing you, bro. C’mon. Did you or didn’t you fuck the wench?”
    “ Seriously Lucas, stop fucking with me, man, and show some respect.” Dane frowned. “What the hell’s up with you, anyway?”
    “ Okay, let me know when you wanna talk about it.” They stopped just beyond a large boulder, overlooking a lake.
    The scenery was breathtaking, Dane had to admit to himself. It would be a perfect place to take Dar and — He immediately cut his thoughts and turned to face Lucas. Right now, he couldn’t afford to think about her like this.
    Later on tonight, once they were alone he promised himself to finish what they’d started hours ago. Dane wasn’t a one-woman man and never had he thought romantic thoughts about anyone.
    He growled at the thought of making the little wench paying for stealing his heart. How did he manage to lose himself to her in the first place? This wasn’t acceptable, he needed to banish these feelings.
    Maybe after he was through with Dar, he’d find a perky little vampire whore who could withstand the full power of vampire hybrid. The thought didn’t entice him any. His cock used to harden at the thought or glimpse of any woman. Now, for the first time in centuries, it didn’t. The only woman that made his cock hard and his heart beat fast was Dar.
    Lucas studied him inquisitively. “Look, I know you got some problems of your own. Not trying to pry, but you should know the vampires are cooking up some sort of scheme.”
    Dane’s eyes narrowed. “What are they up to now?”
    “ Well, word has it that they plan on blocking out the sun forever.”
    “ No fucking way. It can’t be done. Not even with the darkest magic. Others have tried centuries ago. It never works.”
    “ Yeah, I know. But none of the other vampire lords had a dark fairy in their possession.”
    Dane froze. “What the fuck did you say? Who has a dark fairy with them? Which clan?”
    “ The Ravynshire coven captured one only a few nights ago,” Lucas confessed. “Word is , her night essence can be channeled with the help of dark magic to forever block out the sun, as we know it.”
    “ My sister!” Dar stalked up to the two men.
    Dane clenched his fists. “Didn’t I tell you to wait for us? Gods, you’re a hard headed, stubborn little b— ”
    “ My sister’s life is at stake and you don’t own me.” She turned to Lucas. “Where is she? Take me to her!”
    “ Easier said than done, Pumpkin. You can bet your sweet winged ass she’s under twenty-four hour lockdown until the ceremony can be completed. There were two men taken into custody.” Lucas looked at her sympathetically. “They didn’t look like they were from around here . ”
    Dar turned to conceal her tears from the men and bit her fist to stifle her sobs.
    Dane’s heart ached for her. He wanted nothing more than to reach out and hold her, assuring her everything would be okay. She’d probably knee him in the nuts even if he acted on that impulse. She was gentle and sheltered, but she had fight in her and she was definitely a force to be reckoned with, even for him.
    “ Look, I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t like what some of the vampires are doing. But a world filled with darkness, twenty-four seven? Hell no!” Lucas shook his head and took off the old tattered brown
