and whacked him in the head with her pillow.
    He grabbed it and sent her an annoyed scowl. Ashleigh rolled
her eyes and went back upstairs. She took out her phone and called Caleb.
    He picked up on the first ring. “Hey, babe.”
    “Are you in a lot of trouble, Caleb?” She began to speak
quickly, a fearful tone in her voice, “For what you did to Aiden?”
    “Don’t worry about it.”
    "Caleb…"
    "Seriously. Don't worry about it." He changed the
subject. "So, did you go see your mom?"
    "Not yet." His question caught her off guard, her
whole reason for coming to Kingston
hitting her in the face.
    "Not yet." Caleb laughed lightly at her answer.
"You've been there two weeks, so why haven't you done it yet?"
    "I will."
    "If you don't do it by tomorrow, I'll come home and
spank ya ."
    "Nathan will do that for you."
    "Huh?" Her answer obviously caught him off guard.
"What?"
    "I was kidding." She laughed as she pushed a piece
of hair behind her ear. "My ass hasn't been pelted in weeks."
    "Well then, I have a lot of ass to pelt when I get
home."
    She let out a quick huff of air through her nostrils. " An ass," she corrected him.
    "Ashleigh's ass." He chuckled.
    "Better." Her face filled with a huge smile as she
flirted with him.

 
 
 
    Chapter Three

 
 
    Ashleigh ran down to the garage when she heard the rev of an
engine. She knew how much Nathan admired Caleb's shiny, black corvette, and he
had always threatened to take it out on a cruise while Caleb was gone.
    She went to the window and tapped on it. Her expression was
cross. "Nathan!" She opened her mouth to say something more, but was
halted when the window rolled down. Her face quickly filled with a flirty smile
when she who it was. "Caleb? What are you doing home?"
    "I don't play another concert until Friday, so I
figured I'd stop by and check on you. I figured you missed me." He
motioned for her to get in.
    She jogged around the other side and happily hopped into the
passenger seat. Her bottom hit the soft leather, which was warm and inviting.
She loved this car, being in it was heavenly. "That only gives you two
days."
    " So'd , you chicken out?"
He was holding the steering wheel loosely as he backed out of the garage. His
hand reached to the dash and turned down the music.
    "No."
    He passed her a thermos. It was decorated with characters
from a popular preschool TV show. "For you, babe."
    She quickly grabbed it and twisted off the cap.
"Thanks."
    "So, where's she live?" He pushed a button on the
remote snapped onto his visor. The tall, front gates near the end of the drive
opened slowly.
    "In Kingston."
    "I know, smartass. I meant, like what street?"
    "Twenty-four Appleton." She took a long drink as
her eyes took in some people walking by.
    " Ooo …she works for the old
money." He laughed and his tongue made a quick pass over his top lip as he
tapped on the steering wheel.
    "Old money?"
    "The Harpers." He stopped at a light but revved
the engine a few times. His hand played with the stick as he let the car roll
backward and forward slightly.
    "So…you…" His answer soured her expression, but
she turned from him so he couldn't see it. "Know the Harpers?"
    Caleb sent her an evil grin.
    "Come on…" She lightheartedly punched his
shoulder. "Tell me."
    "The Harpers are Elders."
    "Vampires?" She had finished the contents of her
thermos, her hand quickly screwing on the cap. Ashleigh gazed into her lap, a
large frown filling out her lips.
    "Can I come with?"
    "I’m not ready to go yet."
    "You look beautiful, so you got nothing to worry
about." He stopped in front of a set of gates. Near them was a small
security house. “Here we are.” Ashleigh glared at him, but he ignored it.
    "Master Mason." The guard went up to Caleb's
window. A friendly smile filled his face as he peered inside. "What're you
doing on this side of town?"
    "We're looking for…" Caleb paused and whispered to
Ashleigh, "What's her name?"
    Ashleigh spoke softly, her voice barely
