wiped his mouth. “I need to feed some more.”
    Colum smiled as he approached. Odin’s eyes were returning to their normal color. “Come, let’s hunt together.”

Chapter 4
    Sally sat at the counter with a cup of tea in her hand. The warmth helped but she really didn’t taste it. Nothing mattered now but Odin. Travis moved around the kitchen silently. “Everything will be fine.”
    Sally bit her bottom lip as she looked up. Her eyes fill ed with tears. “How can you be certain? They’ve been gone all night. They probably had a battle royale out there. Odin, the stupid oaf that he is, probably tried to show how much of a vampire he is and Colum beat him into submission.”
    Travis smiled. “It wouldn’t be the first time. They have fought before. Now that Colum is King, Odin knows better.” Seeing Sally shaking he walked over to her. He placed a hand on hers. Something caught his eye. Turning more he saw Colum and Odin walking up the lawn. Odin following with two deer slung over his shoulders.
    “Look Miss ,”
    Sally looked up and pushed her tea aside. Running, she flung the French doors wide open. Running past Colum she heard Colum say , “And good morning father, it’s good to see you are well and in one piece.”
    Odin saw Sally running towards him. He let the deer carcass go down with a thud , catching the flying missile of Sally’s body which hit him square in the chest. As her lips hit his, he tried to stop her. He knew he would taste of blood. He wasn’t neat when he fed. She didn’t stop and kissed him deeply.
    The love he felt took over. He didn’t care who watched. He scooped her up higher and harder, crushing her body to his chest. Bringing his hands up, he spanned the nape of her neck supporting her as he kissed her back.
    Sally trailed kisses on his face, tasting the salty, wild taste of blood and deer on him. He had deer scent all over him.
    She cradled his face and looked deep ly into his eyes. “Take me home, now. I can’t wait and Colum won’t interfere, if he knows what’s best for him, the family or the house.”
    Travis smiled as he went to pick up the deer. He saw Sally pulling on Odin. “Come on, we are going to your home.”
    Odin stopped her and scooped her up in one quick movement. “No, our home. After today we won’t be apart.

    They got back to the house on Timber Cliffe Drive in record time. Running up to the front door, Odin had them in the door closed and locked behind them quickly. Turning to him Sally jumped into his arms. “Now, here, the stairs, anywhere, I don’t care just make love to me.”
    Odin had her up the stairs, taking them two at a time. He came to the master bedroom and looked in her eyes. “You have no reservations?”
    Sally hugged him, “None silly. I want you , now.”
    He laid her down gently on the bed. Flic king his hand in the direction of the lights and stereo system, lights dimmed, even though it was morning and the sun was starting to stream in. Brian McKnight could be heard coming softly out of the speakers. He looked down at the dream-come-true laying on his bed now. Her face was alight with something he couldn’t pinpoint. Leaning down, he placed a kiss on her lips, saw her arms come up around his neck and her body move to the music.
    “I’ve been waiting for you, all my life , and then some,” he said in between kisses. Kissing her again, letting his hand bring her sweater up slowly exposing her creamy skin. Her skin reacted to the cool air. Raising his hand, a fire started to blaze in the giant fireplace. Leaning in, he placed a kiss on her ribbed cage, making her suck in a breath, her hand coming up and capturing his head, her head and neck extending in the rush of excitement that he could tell was filling her.
    “Baby , let me know what works and what doesn’t. Don’t let me get too far or out of control. I want us both to get there at the same time.” He kissed her again but this time deeper, letting his
